    I love my 2012. 150k miles and its never needed new brakes or tires. Just word play. I change them a bit earlier than needed but its often wet and rainy and I haul a lot of children.

    In my opinion this is the best E class but I have one question if you use regular gas on this car will it affect the engine or anything else on the car?

    • @throttlechaser541
      @throttlechaser541  3 роки тому +3

      I am not sure. Performance for sure but it might not run on regular at all. My cousin had a 2008 328i and he put regular one time and the car didn't run anymore

      Many of the manuals will specify Premium “required” in that case yes you must use premium or you can cause engine damage. Some may say premium “recommended” which You should still use premium but if you use a lower octane occasionally you won’t damage the engine or fuel system. My former company was the primary supplier for 85% of all Mercedes vehicles fuel system components (fuel pump, charcoal canisters fuel tanks,etc)

    • @carmonaprime6297
      @carmonaprime6297 2 роки тому

      Sadly not. One thing that we need to always look at is our engine’s compression ratio as a basis for using premium or higher octane petrol Vs regular or lower octane fuel. This M276 engine has a compression ratio of 12:1 and being direct injected would require higher octane fuels to prevent knock. In my car I use a minimum of 95RON euro 4 but in some case I use 97RON euro 4 or even 100RON euro 6. Hope this helps.

    Great and informative video. However, I have been trying to figure out how to increase the dash lights. Our 2015 3350 as well as your 2016 does not have the little dial beside the light switch or the dial nob next to the speedometer to increase or dim the dash lights. Do we not have a choice to adjust those?

      If you are into the drive of the car you will see most Lexus do not perform on the level of a comparable BMW or Mercedes. The ES isn’t trying to appeal to a driver it’s meant as an entry level luxury car. Lexus IS the standard for reliability. BMW & Mercedes are the world standard in luxury and performance.

      I am not sure. I had the 2016 e350 and it was nice. When i was looking to buy the s550 i was considering the 2017 e300 as well. I never got to drive one, but i can tell you there is a HUGE difference between the s and the e. Totally different experience. I would get the e300 only if i would be on a budget as the s550 is a more picky car and expensive to own

    I've got the 350D night edition and the car is just amazing. 0-60 in 6 seconds and on average 550-600 miles per tank with 52mpg on average if you behave. I think it's an excellent runner. Your 3.5 petrol or Gas, as people call it over there, ain't coming near those numbers (except acceleration) and I think, If i car can't get you at least 500 miles per tank, throw it away.

They say that the e 350 of this generation is a good reliable car, especially thise after 2012. The only issue i had with this car was the steering wheel colum sometimes was getting stuck when you try to adjust the height of it, but with a tap/punch it would get unstuck lol
