2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E240 2.6 petrol
Summary:
Competent Executive Express
Faults:
Audio System Mysteriously went dead during operations (twice)
The Company refuse COMMAND system order and replace it with AUDIO 50 Auto Pilot system.
General Comments:
Due to hefty tax regulation on E320, I loaded this E240 with all available options (Euro 38000 car + Euro 30000 options), it looks stunning.
The only lack of options is Remote Boot Opener and DISTRONIC (cannot possibly used in Indonesia due to congested traffic)
Ride from AIRMATIC DC is superb, give you sense of floating.
The power from 2.6 liter is marginal, and it seems to have low geared transmission.
Marginal Fuel economy.
Stunning Looks with ARAGONITE Blue in AVANTGARDE trim. 17 inch double spoke helps the appearance.
Panoramic Roof and ambient lightning gives the car airy interior.
Bi Xenon Lights are superb, as does as the Sound System (HARMANN-KARDON)
Overall a good car, but could do with more power to match its look.
I wish I could own E320 with these kinds of options, but since I mainly use it for urban driving, I'm more than happy with my decision.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
