Comfort, road behaviour, safety, intelligently thought-out, overall quality, spacious load bay.
Styling a little dull, rear room a little tight, irritating brake pump noise, expensive options, not the most dynamic drive in its class.
A complete car, but an expensive one, and not without minor irritants.
This car feels substantial and is well crafted. It's vastly better in this respect than the previous-generation E-Class, whose interior finish and bodywork detailing was not in the same league as BMW's and Audi's. The company is currently battling to regain the reputation for quality its older cars enjoyed, but in the long term, expect a very dependable car.
