Looks like it’s running on 20’s , going to be a hard ride

thats very nice one thing ive noticed some have the gear selector central to the left of the seat and some on the steering column iare they both the same in effect

Depends on the age of the car, W211 E Class have the gear selector on the transmission tunnel, later E’s have the selector on the “tree”

i do like that model it comes across more solid and the seats look very comfortable

Same car as I’ve got , just passed 100k , had it since 20k for 10 years , lovely cars

Doing 100 miles a day I would want something a bit more exciting than an E class diesel unless fuel economy is a priority. That's just me though. Do you need a load logger, is mpg a priority, does size matter.

comfort more my priority

E250 all day . Comfort
. Power . Looks . All in 1 .

Think the 220 at 175 BHP maybe a struggle with the weight. Having said that plenty pass me when I'm doing 80 . 70 sorry. Possibly remap is another option.

Can’t beat an E class on standard wheels then.

Those W213 would be my choice

Don’t think you can get a E220d for £10k

I agree with you though. Just seen 220d SE estates for just less than £30k brand new from MB

Yes, that W212 is pretty decent

How about an E Class Coupe if you want something with a bit more style?

I have a clc 220 cdi 2010 model.
Had it remapped and its a world of difference. Changed the car completely. Well worth doing.
Cheap as chips to do as well.

That one looks nicer.
The first one has had the wheels & break callipers resprayed. Plus a couple of the tyres look perished.
