Sounds amazing

As someone with experience with both the W212 and the W211, I have to say that the W212 is a good car, but the W211 is a BETTER car. The W211 may get a bad reputation for a few “bugs” early in production, but it has proved to be the last “proper” E Class with the build quality, attention to detail, drivetrains and reliability that older Mercedes were known for. The W212 is a much cheaper feeling car, both in ride, build quality and material quality… but I would say is about equal to the W211 in terms of reliability. I just can’t see the W212 holding up as well as the W211 has over the years. I already see tons of W212’s with torn seats, horribly faded wood and very worn interior buttons… at low mileage. They also had the dangerous subframe issue which had to be recalled. This began when these cars were only a few years old. In addition to that, the interior has far too many hard plastics. Overall nothing about the interior resembles a traditional Mercedes, but rather a far lower class of car. Obviously MB realized this because the W213 has a beautiful interior in comparison. The W211 is becoming a classic, and immaculate examples are valuable in certain drivetrain configurations. I can’t see the W212 EVER becoming sought after. They’re decent “workhorse” cars, but not impressive in any way. They’re very generic in nearly every way, resembling any modern cheap Asian or American car. The W211 drives better, is far better looking, is just as reliable, is just as comfortable, has better build quality, better attention to detail, arguably better drivetrains, has better road feel, has far better interior material quality and has better ride quality. Some of this is subjective, but I’ve personally heard many people make the same judgements. The W211 can be a “lifetime” car if properly maintained. They’re meant to be serviced for a very long time. Some of that was taken away with the W212, and I cannot see them physically holding up as well. The only variable making the W212 more reliable as of right now, is the fact that they’re newer cars. A W212 makes a good disposable “beater” car that you’d park wherever because they’ll be near worthless eventually. A nice W211 belongs in a garage to be preserved and protected while not in use, and to ensure it remains in excellent condition. Its timelessness means that it will still be a relevant car many years from now, when all of the W212’s have rotted away.

That car is tooooo perfected. 😮‍💨

Homie there is no was that is stock 😮

My 5th Mercedes, 4th Eclass, 3rd W212 2016 E400 all have been incredibly reliable cars!

I have a w212 facelift. Very reliable. Never had any issues

Sat in the new BMW i5 recently, was very surprised the material quality inside was poor apart from the Tech. as compared to this W212 E-class. W212 is definitely a solid Mercedes inside and out, as well will last for very long time so therefore is environmentally sustainable in some sense.

I WANT ONE.

What kind of video is this ? Talking 10 min about a used CAR withput mentioning cars RELIABILITY ?! WOW just WOW

My Father has the first of the W212 Series (59 plate here in the UK). He has owned it for 11 years (the longest he’s has ever kept a car by a long way), because he simply loves it! Reliability is fantastic if you service them on time, and it’s such an economical car on diesel - we’ve seen it return 57mpg on long runs. Dad is soon to upgrade the car, and I’m going to buy it off him to keep in the family. It has covered almost 200,000 miles and is still like new inside. There’s no fading on any of the interior buttons, the leather seats still look fantastic, and the wood trim is as good as new. Also, there are no rattles or squeaks at all. Impressive! Just recently the drivers heated seat has stopped working which seems to be a common fault, and it’s currently having the turbo reconditioned. They seem like they were built to last. Oh, I forgot to say Mercedes Benz recently paid for a whole new rear subframe as there’s a real problem across many models of the rear subframe rotting. Fantastic cars and I can’t wait to keep it running for many more years to come. It still makes us smile.

14:28 no 3lr diesel, which is a bad engine

You drive a monster

Great review buddy. I’m picking up a 2015 this week God willing. Here in Ireland the diesel prices are gone up again but the e220 cdi is quite economical.

My 212 is from 2012 runs like a champ

Is this the diesel or petrol version

Which one do you suggest between e class and Camry ?

*large SUV not mid size

Love the steering wheel!!! 🛞

Can you name every thing you put on your car to make it sound like this

👍👍👍

I'm thinking of getting this in a cabriolet or get a C-Class cabriolet. Undecided right now

Mine is getting built at the moment. I really flirted with this colour but wasn't brave enough. Went with a safer Phytonic blue in the end with Oyster interior.

Never knew Mo Salah has a side gig! 😂 nicely reviewed btw 👍🏽

Why The W212 Is One Of THE MOST RELIABLE Cars ever. ......... said alost nothing about reliability in the entire 15 minutes video. Nice job.

What mods did you get for your F82? Cause I am planing to buy a F82

Kaufen ja, aber gleich dieses hässliche Lenkrad gegen das originale austauschen.

I got a 14 w212 4 years ago super reliable only thing I needed was 2 ignition coils so about a grand in maintenance with oil changes so to me it’s worth every penny

Can you send the link of the Steering Wheel?

I'm looking into geting a e400 coupe

Hi, which of the 6 and 8 cylinder models would you recommend? I'm thinking 4Motion Wagon, either 350 Bluetec, E350, E400, or E500. I do not want the E63. Main concern is long term reliability.

i just bought 2022 530e LCI. I just want to ask that my bmw ran 51.000 km (30k miles) is it okay or bad ?m

Them knuckles looking pretty white bruh

Love the sound 😮😮😮😮❤

I have a 9 year old W212 E250 cdi and am in India. Clocked 90k Kms. Car is still behaving like new. Returns 14-15 kmpl in local and above 19 in highway. During downhill it recently returned 26 kmpl. Driving comfort is awesome. I am a maintenance freak guy. Uses silicon and Wd 40 spray generously keeping the car in A1 condition.

I have the 2016 E250 with 300,000km Repairs i had to do At 200km Intake manifold and water pump. Thats all I would say its one of the most reliable cars out there and probably mercedes-benz most modern, reliable car And the fuel is amazing

Hi can I get this kinda led steering wheel for a BMW XM…???

what is the colors name of this car?

Blauwe bruggen Oostende??

W212 is the best E-Class!

Amen brother!!! Going through some shit and needed to see this.

I just picked up a 2016 W212 E400 4Matic with 80k on the clock. It's an amazing car. I'm already so much in love with this car. It is very lively to drive, absolutely sporty, stable, and looks awesome.

My favorite car! I want to buy one of it, how much you paid for this car?

Hello! I’m actually looking to buy a 745e and was wondering about the fuel economy. Whats it like?

I personally didnt like the grill at first but im kinda falling in love with them ❤

The car looks nice ❤

Not a big fan of suv's but it still looks nice 😊😊

Does the car have an ashtray?

you forgot to tell us the fuel consumption which this model emphasis on the hybrid feature for economy and efficiency that the gasoline does not on the same class,furthermore the performance comparison as well buddy?
