    I used to work for Mercedes and always felt the same way about quality. Just couldn't put my finger on it.

    You mention it’s got a 9-speed ZF gearbox. It’s not as Mercedes’ don’t use the ZF, they make their own where as most other brands buy in the ZF.

    If someone is averaging 29mpg, they really shouldn’t have a diesel. Shows most journeys are short and eventually they are going to have DPF issues. I have a 430D and she averages 40mpg, that’s mainly motorway with some heavy foot blasting now and then. Mercedes isn’t my thing, digital cockpit looks decent though.

    I really like the way you appreciate cars for what they are Calv. Getting rid of unnecessary body kits and tints etc so the car can be as it was designed to be. Good use of the word chav too!
    Big congrats on tieing the knot too 🍾

    Im so with you on the Mercedes thing. I cant quite put my finger on it either. Iv had countless Mercedes cars over the years including an E350 CDI Coupe, a C55 AMG and more recently a C63 AMG W204 model.....my issue was that each Mercedes I have had has had issues. My BMW's on the otherhand have all been super reliable. I currently have a BMW M235i and that thing is a real hoot.....although Mercedes AMG/AMG Line cars look great, for me the way they drive, the road presence, the excitement that comes from driving them is not on par with a BMW.......
