Charlie - Bought a pre-owned E 300 sedan, excellent car and had the perfect balance of power and luxury, the rear seats are some comfortable I wish I had a driver to drive me around! Pros: Powerful engine and options. Cons: Interior feels outdated.
Nabeel - Buy a convertible E series and you won’t regret it. Fantastic cars, lots of space for a four seater and plenty of options regarding safety and entertainment. Highly recommend anyone buy one. Pros: Spacious, options and power. Cons: High price in higher trims.
Thomas - I got my second hand E63 AMG for a good price from a seller in Dubai. Perfect condition and the power to comfort ratio is just right. Loads of safety features and when I put it in sports mode it sounds great! Pros: Engine, comfort and tech. Cons: Sport mode could be sportier.
