Differences between Avantguard & Sports styling

Agreed and it will stay 'current ' looking for longer so is more future proofed. Lovely car that

Indeed, I still like the S though ;-)

The E is a well specced car and just as importantly is EU6

If you are going to do 20k a year I it them you may as well buy the newest one possible, it's an ex lease so will have been maintained properly regardless of cost

The E will be cheaper to run though in the long term but it is not an S

kind of why I was looking at the CLS John, sits between the two?

I do like the E it has pretty much all you would want day-to-day regarding equipment and all the paint looks original.

As an aside one thing I have noticed is that there is an additional parktronic senior on the side section of the rear bumper which will help reduce the number of parking scrapes

This is a bonus and going forward with Diesel will make a difference if you take it into cities etc
