Mercedes-Benz E 300 (AVANTGARDE) Review: Old guard, new face
Mercedes-Benz got a lot of flack over the past few years due to issues of lower quality and reliability. But they're coming back strong - just take a look at this new E-Class...

What we like:
Plenty of standard equipment and safety features
luxurious interior feels expensive
car's ride makes you feel as if you're wafting on air.
What we dislike:
Design is strangely rear-heavy
significant kerb weight blunts engine's performance
image still doesn't appeal to the younger crowd.
Notwithstanding the "old man" image, the new E-Class is a luxury car that's worthy of its expensive price tag. Mercedes-Benz has addressed quality issues with this car - now, what they need to do is focus on appealing to younger drivers. In the meantime, those seeking a luxury car that can pamper its occupants whilst simultaneously keeping them safe will be duly impressed with this one.
