I’ve been looking at the E Class Coupe circa 12 reg with a view to buy. I need to rationalise my 3 cars down to 2 so thinking of selling the 210 and Focus and buying an E Coupe there are so many 2nd owner cosseted cars out there the temptation is getting the better of me.
I’m torn between diesel and petrol so thoughts on those and the fact that I’m 6ft 1in tall so is the interior going to be a bit snug especially compared to the 212 estate?
The car will be used mainly for shortish runs so makes more sense to run petrol but the OM642 is so tempting, I also have a niggle about the simplex timing chain of the smaller engine which puts me off.
All thoughts welcome especially from owners
