What's the Mercedes E 200 like?

I have just purchased my first E 200 Mercedes and it is my first move to the brand. It is the Avantgarde model. Any advantages or disadvantages to this model please?

Hi Leo,

It depends on the year of the car you’ve bought. The 2002-2010 model E-Class (the one with the round lights) was pretty dreadful from a reliability point of view, so if it’s one of those then I hope you got a decent warranty with it. Post 2010 (square headlights) models are far, far better on the reliability and quality front, and are amongst the most comfortable and refined cars we have ever driven. A seriously good choice. If you mean a brand new E-Class, then you’ve quite simply bought the best car in its segment.
