@@MW-tt3fy I don’t know, the 350s are often the most reliable ones, especially the W212 chassis. The 3.5L V6 is a solid unit of an engine. Proven yet silky smooth in its power delivery. I’ve seen a lot of those with mileage nearing 200k miles and quite some other examples beating out the quarter million mile range to going as far as half a million miles. Another comment mentioned that there were some Scandinavian W212 diesel taxis with mileage as high as 1 Million KMs (600,000+ Miles) . The diesels are another beast of a kind in durability and reliability.

I have a 9 year old W212 E250 cdi and am in India. Clocked 90k Kms. Car is still behaving like new. Returns 14-15 kmpl in local and above 19 in highway. During downhill it recently returned 26 kmpl.

Nice to hear that brother! Very solid cars indeed and you will do a lot of miles with this car. 90k is nothing yet 😁

My Father has the first of the W212 Series (59 plate here in the UK). He has owned it for 11 years (the longest he’s has ever kept a car by a long way), because he simply loves it! Reliability is fantastic if you service them on time, and it’s such an economical car on diesel - we’ve seen it return 57mpg on long runs. Dad is soon to upgrade the car, and I’m going to buy it off him to keep in the family. It has covered almost 200,000 miles and is still like new inside. There’s no fading on any of the interior buttons, the leather seats still look fantastic, and the wood trim is as good as new. Also, there are no rattles or squeaks at all. Impressive! Just recently the drivers heated seat has stopped working which seems to be a common fault, and it’s currently having the turbo reconditioned. They seem like they were built to last. Oh, I forgot to say Mercedes Benz recently paid for a whole new rear subframe as there’s a real problem across many models of the rear subframe rotting. Fantastic cars and I can’t wait to keep it running for many more years to come. It still makes us smile.

I have the 2016 E250 with 300,000km Repairs i had to do At 200km Intake manifold and water pump. Thats all I would say its one of the most reliable cars out there and probably mercedes-benz most modern, reliable car And the fuel is amazing

Facelifted W212 is not just reliable, it's super reliable. We have some taxis in Scandinavia with over 1 million kilometers on the clock. By the way I can't tell W212 and W213 avantgarde version apart from the front when I see them in the traffic. They look almost exactly the same. W213 is more rounded but it's not easy to spot. So this looks almost similar to the 2020 model from the front. At least to me that is not a hardcore Merc expert.

We have an E350 (W212) from 2012 (170 000km) and so far has been extremely reliable. The only bigger repair/replacement were the engine mounts at 150 000km and some part in the ventilator for the engine at around 140 000km. Also it needed a new auxilliary battery. What we like the most apart from the reliability, in no particular order: 1. Drives and handles very well, 2. Very comfortable with lots of leg room at the back, 3. Powerful engine, 4. Smooth transmission, 5. Very distinctive classy looks, 6. Excellent suspension, 7. Very quiet, 8. Good visibility. What are the rooms for improvement? 1. Fuel economy in the city could be better, 2. Trunk space could be bigger, 3. The infosystem is quite out of date, 4. Any repairs are basically double the price in comparison to Toyota (then again if you compare this to Camry, it´s a different experience) If you need a reliable sedan, would highly recommend this one.

Been driving it three years with almost no issue. Had to replace the ignition coil on cylinder number two last week. Total cost was $200, including the scan tool used to diagnose the vehicle. Other than that, maintenance has consisted of changing the oil every six months. Brakes are due for replacement, but there is still plenty of pad left for another five thousand miles or so. We'll see. Paid $19,200 for the car and it seems like a good deal.

Which one is more reliable 250 cdi 4 cylinder or 350 cdi 6 cylinder and which engine is more fuel efficient .

As for the w212 (V6), it's suggested that its more reliable than the w213. He's right about the ATX being a bit clunky. However you can do a work around by resetting the transmission and doing regular service (change trans fluid every 30k miles not 70k). If you shift the gears at a stop up to 3rd, 4th or 5th gear, enter sport mode, press brake to 'Hold', you can definitely launch it faster than the documented time. Also don't just mash the throttle 🤦🏾‍♂️ I still don't comprehend why reviewers to this day still do that, that's an inefficient way to launch a car without launch control. As for US models the V6 petrol is the best version and most reliable.

Goede review!

Well if it's been taken care of properly by the previous owner(s) then those are pretty reliable engines. But u need to be sure they've had an immaculate history as these r pretty powerful engines so make sure they weren't used by youngsters to do burnouts, dragraces and drifts and such as those things stress the drive train and engine a lot. If they were abused like that then u will have a lot of repair costs especially if it has more than 80 or 100k miles. So be sure to let a mechanic check the car out thoroughly before signing any deal. If the engine(rod bearings, fuel pump, valves, timing belt,...) and other parts are in good condition then u can go ahead and buy it and tell ur son to drive it responsibly and maintain it very well. Then costs should be minimal 🙂 also check closely for rust around wheel arches and under the car

Well, those arent the most reliable models but with proper maintenance and good care you should be able to avoid most issues. Most common issues are that components could fail like the air compressor and the rear air suspension springs. Cabin rattling sounds caused by loose interior trim parts may start developing over 100k miles. Especially if the car did a lot of city driving. Other than that i havent heard about timing belt issues but it is adviced to change it after 80k miles as this is a high power car. Rod bearings should defimetely be changed after that mileage in these cars. Check for turbo leaks and heavy oil consumption aswell

Also chek if the bumpers and the hood are not slightly decolored which may imply the car has been in an accident and those parts were repainted. Engine issues should be minimal but only if you're sure the car was properly maintained so do make sure u can get that verified. if properly taken car of these cars can run over 300k miles easily without any big problems. electronical issues are not common in the w212. oh yea, also make sure the car hasnt been tuned or modified for obvious reasons ;)

Just be careful with those silver trim bits on the AC. They can pop off. If they do, make sure you don't lose it and just crazy/gorilla glue them back on.

How long do they last actually? As this car is now driven by someone i know but the trims are still on it and in perfect condition. Does this happen after a certain mileage? The car now has about 110k km's on it. That's about 70k miles(68k to be precise).

@@thirst4petrol537 I bought mine with 50k miles and it was owned by 2 old people, an Italian middle aged gentleman and an older American woman. Both were leasing. If it's still there great but I'd let them know it's possible to come off from normal use and I can say that it being a V6, you NEED the AC in summer omfg 🤦🏾‍♂️ I'd tell them to repair it as soon as it happens b/c you can't buy that piece of trim anywhere. You have to pull it from a junkyard or create one yourself b/c it's just a piece of aluminum. I plan to find one at a junk yard, they'll probably let me take it free and use Gorilla glue.

@@thirst4petrol537 ok, the 4cyl should be ok. The benefit of the V6 is I won't need the heater in winter 🤣 As far as the tiny trim, I think they get dislodged from finger nails. To be completely frank you have to use your fingers and avoid finger nails to operate all the pieces or they peel. Like you have to be intentional with this car. But those little window control stickers are super cheap to replace, maybe $2 for a pack. Oh and regarding the wood, if it hasn't faded which it will b/c Mercedes didn't use enough lacker, they need to get a UV protectant spray and maintain it. A window shade is recommended for sure and tints omfg I never wanted tints but maan this car begs for them 😭 Also if the headlights haven't oxidized, have them buy plexiglass protectant spray like Clear Glaze, it's only $5. Wash the headlight really good, like really good and use that to help with oxidation. They only need it once a year, it can go longer but once a year is like 15yrs from one can.

what I think is boring about the eklass 212. the interior didnt change much. It didnt get more "modern". I got a 2011 212. And was thinkin of buying a newer one but the look dosent really change.

@thirst4petrol537

Жыл бұрын

Very true, they lightly refreshed the interior but it doesnt look newer at all. U can, however, make changes urself like installing a bigger screen or another aftermarket middle console. Or just upgrade to the w213 which does have a fully new interior. But then u have the dual screens which may be a bit too modern for some people
