  • The Mercedes E-Class Estate is a luxurious and practical family car that looks great, comes with a superb interior and (if you're happy to pay a little extra) some desirable tech, too. Is it better than the ageing Audi A6 Avant or the brand new BMW 5 Series Touring, though? I take an in-depth look at this capacious German estate to help you decide if it's the right car for you.

      Yes, they are awesome and everybody around here in Germany uses them when doing the big weekly shopping trip, which is why I am always confused when people call them "weird". Do people in other countries not have these? Here in Germany they even offer them at the checkout in supermarkets (i.e. you can either get bags or you can spend a couple Euros and get one of these right at the checkout if you do not have one yet).

    I own a 2012 E-class estate and it’s just brilliant. Consider how much gadgetry they squeeze into them the reliability is Excellent, Never had any problems with it. For long journeys I couldn’t think about anything better exept maybe an S-class. Real wheel drive in the winter, no problems as long as you use the right tyres and don’t venture off-road. I had a fwd before and driving on snow it was horrible whilst the E-class just plows on. Next car? Probably a newer E-class!

    I have the 13 plate version of this with every extra you can get practically even the sound system. Only difference between that and this newer version is the larger screen and even that is an upgrade you have to pay for. Must say though, for me, its the perfect family cruiser.
    Only got it because i have a german shepherd and its ideal for him in the boot. He can sit fully upright.
    Couldn't do that in the c class i had for a few weeks before that. Much difference.

    I had a loan car while my C-class was in for service and loved this it was only basic model no seat control.. lumber control was a faff but liked the extra boot space over the C-class and passenger leg room though the amount of time I carry people is only low.. I have driven the BMW 5 series tourer ,but found it heavy esp when accelerating you can feel the weight comfort wise the bmw is great but fuel thirsty but strangely no folding mirrors which is on the mercedes maybe an extra but really on a £60,000 car.

    Their new 220d diesel engine really is sublime. It is smooth and quiet yet pulls strongly and delivers such great fuel economy. It's easy to go 1000kms on a long road without refuelling. It's just excellent. They can fit that engine to any car and it'll be the perfect one.

    I had one of these for two weeks whilst the company car was being repaired. Interior - definitely a notch above the BMW 5 touring series but I felt the seats in the BMW were a tad more comfortable. Had difficulty getting a comfortable view of the dial cluster despite numerous seat adjustments. Super comfortable ride, handling and sharp brakes. Auto transmission a tad hesitant unlike the 5 series. Boot space is enormous. Probably would go for a 5 series instead of the Merc.
