I own a 2006 E320 CDI. I have over 300,000 miles on it. If I set the cruise control to 55 MPH, I can get around 57.6 MPG. If I set the speed to 80 MPH I get around 40 MPG. Love it.

I couldn’t disagree more! I had two 211’s and they were so bad that I almost didn’t buy another Mercedes. In the shop constantly and not fir a day or two but the E320 BlueTec was on the shop for months at a time. The E550 wasn’t quite as bad but still not a good car. I’ve had 2 W212s and they’ve been a joy. The first one reached 150,000 miles with no issues. My current 2016 E350 4matic is one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. It’s comfortable, bank vault quiet and never a problem. You can keep fhe 211s. I think that they’re terrible!

As much as i will like to agree with you W211 has major issues. I used the pre facelift E500 for 10 years driven over 250k kilometers. The performance was excellent but when you face issues with SBC and Airmatic - that will change your perception. The facelift version solved most of the problem but came with M273 (i wish Mercedes used M113 for the facelift version). As for W212, that's the best so far - at least in my 30years experience with E Class. Your view on W212 is based on your experience with the cheaper sub-models. The top end once with AMG package are in a different class. I have used W212 for 6 years now with the M278 engine (too much power). Its much better than W211. My favorite is still W124.

CDI are immortal

I just ran into a review that expresses my exact feeling and experience driving both cars. I currently own the W211 E550, and my wife owns a W212 E550. My personal feeling is that the W211 is a man’s car, and the W212 appeal to women. Don’t get all in your feelings about that statement. Fact is whenever I drive the W212, I feel no connection to the car. It is just boring. The interior feels cheap. The wood trim in the W212 faded soon after we got it. The steering wheel controls started pealing off, and the Lane Keep Assist feature is completely annoying; This review is spot on. The w211 has a “soul”; you can feel it. I experience it. I smile whenever I am going anywhere with my W211. If you have a W211 or is considering one, I suggest replacing the radio with a aftermarket (Pioneer, Kenwood, etc.) double din radio with Apple Car Play or Android Auto, reverse camera, and boom you have leaped forward to 2023. Make sure you use a reputable installer. Ask you Mercedes dealer to recommend someone.

08:45. I’m curious… you compared the W211 E350 to the W212 E350. Was the W211 an Elegance or an AvantGarde edition? My W211 E350 AvantGarde comes with lowered ‘sports suspension’ that maybe trades off ride quality compared to the Elegance version but have not driven an Elegance. My M-B experience started with owning a W124 300E 1986. I had the suspension overhauled and shocks replaced, and the ride of the old 300E was sublime, perfect-no other car I’ve driven comes close, and handling was pretty good too. Anyway, I certainly agree that after 8 years of ownership, the W211 E350 AG is a heck of a safe, pleasing place to relax and enjoy, faced with any road conditions.

@@snggarageengI live in Minnesota, my pre-facelift 211 500 held onto its factory Airmatic struts up until the 170,000 mile mark (about 274,000 km). Factory compressors still work, factory lines and fittings are all still installed. It took literally 20 years and over a quarter million kilometers for a single Airmatic strut to fail on my 211, and that’s in an area notorious for rust and heavily salted winter roads. I strongly suspect earlier failures had more to do with severe heat wearing rubber seals down, or user error (meaning people were doing wild stuff in their 211’s that the struts just weren’t rated for).

I absolutely love my 2010 w212. Encountered the subframe issue but that one was fully covered by Mercedes.

I had an old W211 and loved it. The W212 by comparison had awful style, no lovely smooth curves but instead a horrid mix of boxy oblongs and sharp jarring angles. When it came time to change the W211 I opted for the C Class instead. Better lookin than the 211 but did not have the classiness. But then in 2016 along came the W213 and Mercedes got back on track. The style is there and the quality is there. We have to accept people do not want polished wood anymore, and Mercedes have done a great job but get the cream interior as the black just looks too dark. For me they have gone too far with the new W214 which is just cheap tec and lots of shiny black plastic. So I am planning to stick with my W213 for ever.

watch my channel i drove few of them , your engien is 5.5 twin turbo ? What do you think about interior ?

my 2005 320cdi just feels better and the cdi has been bullet proof only 2 injectors after 240k km and some glowplugs. but i maintain my car properly i feel the 212 is boring and feels like it belongs in a vauxhall. also Stage1 with 260/600nm is more than enough for me and the 648 is reliable and easy to wrench on Also i built a 124 with 270cdi. i will never go anything newer than 211 . Im only waiting for sbc to go out but there is companys renovating them for 400-500 euro here in EU

I have driven many thousands of miles in my 3 E class wagons. 2002, 2006 and 2012. The suspension improved with each revision. Gas mileage got worse going from the 3.2 to 3.5 V6 with only a slight increase in power, still having a 5 speed automatic. The direct injection 3.5 in the 2012 is noticeably more powerful than before with a smoothness at high rpm than the previous 3.5. With a 7 speed, gas mileage is better than either the w210 or the w211 by at least 10%. The one thing better in the w211 was the leather upholstery. The newer leather doesn't have the smell or feel of the w211 interior. Overall, the w212 is a better car.

I've driven 212 decent amount of miles too and have 211 now, 212 from mechanical standpoint is better car for sure but 211 wagon exterior and specially interior is a lot better and feels like quality mercedes should feel. Exterior is arguable to lots of people, 212 exterior is beautiful too but interior just can't hold candle to 211 and that was difference maker to me because I do drive a lot.

I think the best E-Class might just be a 2001-2002 W210 E55 AMG or E430

I couldn't agree more .. By the way, I am currently owning 2010 E300 W212. Before that W220 S350. However, when I test driving the W211, I noticed how superior W211 compared to my W212, specifically the interior quality materials and mainly the comfort and luxury feeling while driving the W211..

Facelift W211 Yes. Prefacelift W211 No, as it was proven to be quite problematic with rust issues and SBC Braking system (I lost braking in the mountains). I had the 2005 E320 and it wasnt good.

What’s a balance shaft

@shawna7813

Жыл бұрын

It's a large sprocket which has a chain rotating on it. It controls vibration on the V6 M272's in prefacelift W211's, mainly 06. Similar to a timing chain set up. Mercedes sourced the wrong metal for some of the sprockets, the metal was too weak and caused the teeth on the sprockets to wear out prematurely...within as little as 40K miles. It's a 5-6k engine out repair which should have been covered under recall but largely isn't. Most of them fortunately don't have the defect, but its prevalent enough...

When my SBC went, I just took it to Mercedes for their 25 year/unlimited mile warranty. Replaced it for me free of charge and I was back on the road in my Benz the next week. As for the rust issues, I’ve had every panel under my 03’ out and the rear quarter panel is the only spot with any rust, and this car has been a Minnesota car it’s whole life. So, I’m still unsure about the rust comment, maybe in neglected cars or ones parked for extended periods, but the two issues you listed are very easily rectified. The bigger glaring issue for W211’s is dumping their rear subframe by snapping off the mounting bolts in their mounting bosses (a job that requires cutting open the frame to access the retaining nut). However, an easy out set and a new OEM bolt managed to fix mine when it did so, so it could be easy, could be a nightmare.

I have pre face lift late 2005 in UK. There is no rust on it at all and they are not known for rust , the bad time for rust on mercs was from 1998-2002. My car has done 160k and SBC still going strong. In past 7 years its needed nothing apart from springs all round, it never fails me. An SBC failure has never been reported, the brake issue in the mountains must have been a maintenance problem.

That the Chrysler 300C and its derivatives like the Charger and Magnum share the same chassis platform as the W211 is a lie. Daimler only provided know-how to Chrysler. Because until then Chrysler only had front wheel drive cars chassis. This accelerated the development of the Chrysler RWD and AWD chassis. There are only two identical parts on the chassis.

wow thank you sir ! do you have any link to this info ?

I have to agree, had a 2004 and 2005 e class and a 2014 e class. The W211 rides better where the w212 crashes more over rough roads, allowing thuds and shakes into the cabin that a W211 never would. The electric steering of the W212 is way too light and lifeless. W211 brakes more progressive. The w211 5g even switches gear more smoothly than the 7g. For me W211 wins on all fronts apart from technology in the car with no Bluetooth, DAB and sat nav. No doubt the W212 is also faster. And the w212 dashboard could come straight from a Ford or Vauxhall, you could never say that about a w211
