C- or E-Class?
Shortly going to change my 2007 SLK 200 with 29,000 miles, I'm too old for the low driving position, getting thigh ache.
Will have a budget of £20,000 including trade in so should be able to get 2007 E-class, or 2008 C-class, or thereabouts. Looking for a diesel auto, with parktronic and heated seats a must. I cannot choose between the two, and would value your comments and thoughts please.

W211 2007 E Class with the massive improvements fitted from August 2006 okay. W204 C Class also okay, but the diesels had a few problems with their piezo injectors. Try to stick to 16" wheels for decent ride quality.

A big improvement on the previous C-Class. Feels well built and robust. Very comfortable and refined. High quality ride. Good CDI diesels.
Excellent range of refined engines. Comfortable long distance car. Superb ride quality. Models from 2006 are much improved and more reliable.
