The performance/consumption figures advertised for this 1.8 Merc look too good to be true.I would appreciate any feedback on this car particularly on performance using automatic transmission.
Thanks

It really depends on how you are going to use it. For tootling around town or cruising up and down motorways the performance is best described as 'adequate' (about the same as a Nissan Micra 1.4).
If I were in the market for a E-class it would be a diesel (head) or V8 petrol (heart).

What Car had one on long term test until recently. If you can find a pile of back-issues then you'll be able to see the reports.
It struggled slightly up a mountain pass somewhere but otherwise the guy using it (their Editor?) was delighted with it.
I guess it's probably a car where you need to adopt a limousine style of driving - it's never going to go like a hot hatchback.

ive got one an 02 e200k elegance
its more noisy than fast and evey now and then it feels really fast
