From looking at the engines everything points towards the E -350 CDI blue efficiency V6 diesel

Post by: R32UK on 14 June 2010, 16:26
the older shape e-class in much nicer inside and out imo. if you are looking from new... then look no further than the new 5 series! beats the merc hands down :smiley:

The only car I would swap my GTI for is the Aston Martin Vantage. For the price of the E Class coupé, you could get a nice preowned example :cool:

Oh I dnt know GTI, A5, E-class or new 3 series coupe ??????

I also, drive a Mercedes C Class 350 CDI Sport 7 Speed Auto. It's good but a bit boring and I hate the foot operated hand brake.
BMW 3 Series 3.0D or 3.5D much better to drive but pig ugly externally and nasty on the inside.
If you are going the saloon route, then the new BMW 5 Series is the one. Fabulous interior and the highest NCAP rating. Looks good too, but too long for me as is also the C Class. So I prefer Golf GTi which I feel is a good compromise for moi!
New E-Class saloon is a mess in styling. The old one looks much better. However, too many of these around as mini-cabs.
Coupe - E Class is really very tasty. BMW Coupe too tame and boring in the looks department
Audis - A3, A4, A5, A6 all quite horrid to drive. Niceish interiors and they can be specced with 4WD.
Stick with the Golf GTi, or buy a 5 Series. :smiley:

Why not get yourself a nice aftermarket leather and treat yourself with all kind of aftermarket goodies....I do not see a comparison between your present GTI and your car on the wishlist...so either ditch the GTI or brush it up (remap and luxe) so it becomes a bit less boring (for you)....

The fact I can get to 174mph and 0-60 in 4.5 secs will make up for any visual misgivings. The RS though does have some differences over the standard TT.

You been brainwash by a tall fat man in his fifties call JC.
For £50000 A 'coxster s' is a better car than a TTRS if you value driver involvement such as steering feel and perfect body control. The sort of handling that only a midengine fastcar can provides! You have to spend another £30000 to buy a similar driving experience---a second hand low mileage R8 V8, F430 or Gallardo

Doesn't matter what other people say about you! You buy what you want and what you can afford!
I drove a £82000 Carrera S but 911 nutcase will still say I bought my Herbie cause I cannot afford a £120000+ Turbo S or the GT3RS.

Same problem with the TT RS! For the average person in UK, they will not be able to tell what is the difference between a TT RS or a debadge TT TDI!

Getting bored of the GTI now dnt get me wrong I love the car just want something a bit more luxurious i like the new Merc E-Class coupe

u guys think i will regret it ??
my dad had a clk amg.  very nice but it tends to depreciate very quickly compared to an equivalent audi a5 or a bmw 3 series coupe.  its due to the fact the merc sl is better and the e-class coupe not being very desirable.  why not a porsche boxster spyder or a boxster s gen 2.  i have the boxster gen 2-  truly amazing to drive compared to my gti mark6.  i love it!  what car magazine gives it 5 stars.  the feel of the steering wheel is phenomenal and dont forget the sound.  only gripe is the the expensive extras.  it makes vw extras look cheap.  having had an audi tt mark2, and a a4 cabriolet.  i have to say porsche is the tops.  the feel when u drive it.  it gives u pleasure and you can feel the grip. 
must choose a gen 2 with updated spec..

Looks nice and will make your other half a proud woman
The down side is it will drain your wallet and it does not go round the twisties as nimble as your GTI! There is quite a lot of town centre which you cannot leave this car for more than 30min!

Why would any twenty year old even consider a MB E class?  You have a lifetime in front of you to buy boring cars like that.
The same for M3's, RS4's and other bloated rep mobiles.

Something small and nippy with perfect steering would be just the job.  Save the luxo barges for the time when you have baggage like a mother in law to ferry around.

Something small and nippy with perfect steering would be just the job.  Save the luxo barges for the time when you have baggage like a mother in law to ferry around.

Fiat 500 Abarth FTW !!!!  :laugh:

Not sure about the OP but a lot of these pups are still living at home and aren't paying huge mortgages. When I was that age I bought a brand new Lotus Elan S2 for £27K, that was a lot of money 15 years ago but was still living with parents and fuel was about 30p a litre!

I guess your right there, I forget sometimes that i could probably afford to buy one of these on finance but i'am choosing to save for house deposit instead

He's going to be 21 soon and whether he is giving himself or being given a very nice present is neither here nor there. It's great he is enjoying his youth. :smiley:

Their are some sexy examples of cars with everything already done to it for nice money on pistonheads ... Just get what ever you want, don't ask for opinions. You'll get too many different ones, putting you back to square one. But one rule of thumb, with that kinda cash, i'd try and get something very nice thats had thousands and thousands spent on it by the original owner already!
