I've always had a passion for the W211 E class estate that was in production from 2003 to 2009 with its remarkable styling, and I don't think any upgraded model is going to change that.
Mohamed El-Arini You could of just said, you're doing a great job! Be positive! However, it's nice to see the love for this guy as he's very thorough and realises the car is the star and he tells it how it is. :-)
Yeh I thought it was really harsh when people made personal attacks on him at the start... haven't we all started a new job before learned our way into it?
Guys I didn't say that James is bad...I said that I used to hate him..may be because peoole where so harsh about him that I didn't focus in the reviews.or may be his way is a bit different than mat.But actually his reviews are so informative. The effort he is exerting is obvious and has to be praised. ***** keep up the good work man 👍👌
Another good review from the best online car reviewer. And Mercedes well done for integrating the infotainment screen into the dash this time, much more elegant than the 'plonked on top' idea!
I like this a lot. I looked at the Volvo V90 but with the new design it has lost 10 cu ft of cargo space over the older V70. Huge mistake as people buying an estate want the space. Great review as well.
I like carbuyer reviews because they show the outside of the car a lot. Matt on carwow keeps the camera on him for nearly the whole video and its so annoying. I think peoples nice comments are getting to matts head and its changing him for the worse
Dezz9820 spot on mate, hate reading comments on Matts videos, people trying to out do each other on complementing him instead of the cars! The reviewer comes a distant second when it comes to me looking at these reviews
It is now 2021 and I own the 2018 E class model. having owned both the 5 series and this Mercedes Estate I can safely say that the Estate merc handles so much better than the 5 series touring. Both great cars but a reversal of handling fortunes me thinks
idk why, but this is my first time love an estate car.. maybe this generation e-class is too georgous even on its estate form it's still very nice-looking
Great review. Totally satisfied with our w210 / 2000 e320 Wagon @ 215,000 miles. Still gets 22 / 26 mph, uses no oil, hauls our 7 person family & tows a 2400# trailer well. Can't ask for much more than that, right ?
As someone driving a Diamond Silver C-class, I am 99% the car in the video is Iridium silver. Then again, if you're doubting your colour choice, I can highly recommend Diamond Silver, allthough both colour choices look great.
Ali RS The fuel efficiency isn't great in these new ones either. The turbo 4 cylinder only gets 23mpg combined. That's not great for a 4 banger with a turbo and a bunch of gears to use.
I love Merc and BMW. I currently have a e46 3 series and it's great but they are too small for logging thing around. BMW 6 series, Mercedes CLS, or an estate? Estates don't seem to look as smooth
Arya Pradhana D thank you. Yes I know the panamera is fantastic it's probably my favourite car. Though I will be getting one ATleast 5 yrs old and panamera only came out 09 I think and are still around 100k Australian dollar
Mossboy16 meh it looks too casual in my opnion. I would orefer it in black with tanned windows, that looks sick! But hey everybody has his own taste :)
Firstly, your initial comment made me cringe and secondly,I literally face-palmed at your reply. I meant 'does you dad own the whole Audi brand?' just like you referred to Audi as a brand, not as a car. Smh...
The previous version look better at the back, this one had light like Audi. The boot space is less spacious than older version. It is not so functional like older version do to sloping roof which give you less possibility to move larger objects. So continue doing this coupe styling you mercedes going wrong direction. Why to do it while you had cls shooting brake?
please stop about that transmission tunnel and 5th place. These are most of the time company cars with only the driver in it. Personally only drove once with 5 people.
Sorry (not really, to the gov) about the attitude: screw those governmental MPG tests. At first, I thought journalists' "real MPG" numbers are individual cases or just plain bs, but after years, there's a problem, on the governments. Also, there have been plenty incidents of manufacturers cheating on the test. So, on what basis do you think the testing guidelines fits "regular driving habits." We live in a democratic society where variety is a key. How do you determine how citizens drive? Please do not forget in democracy, we the people give rights to the government, as well. Don't determine it for us. I suggest either abandon the programs and departments or else it is wasting people's tax money. Or learn a thing or two from, say, Fuelly to collect MPG data based on how people "actually" drive.
chancy319 That is not what I am on about here. He says there that plastics on this car "feels good/premium." How the hell does fucking "plastic" feel "good"? I do not care what kind it is, its still fucking plastic on a overpriced car. How is he shameless enough to support that on a overpriced car like this were one of the main selling points is the interior and "build quality"? This is not what I use to seeing from this channel. Where are the old hosts? Did they fire them cause they were good like Top Gear?
dipro001 Chill, man. I'm only saying it could have been a slip of tongue. Like I said, if you look at where he touched, it looks like leather and not plastic. Maybe he meant to say leather not plastic.
Now this is how a presenter dresses! Casual enough not to be uptight and formal enough for a job! Great job with the review...
Couldn't agree more
I said this on another video recently and got abuse for it. But you are right. They're not selling potatoes are they?
Another top notch review batch. Well done sir.
I've always had a passion for the W211 E class estate that was in production from 2003 to 2009 with its remarkable styling, and I don't think any upgraded model is going to change that.
dude I used to hate you...but you are improving and you are doing great effort.. good job
Mohamed El-Arini You could of just said, you're doing a great job! Be positive! However, it's nice to see the love for this guy as he's very thorough and realises the car is the star and he tells it how it is. :-)

I disagree. He's been great from the beginning!
This is the first review ive liked tbh

Great review. Keep up the good work James!
So glad that this is still brought to the states. Always loved wagons.
I love that it still has an analogue clock in the dash.
I think I'm buying one and I hate it 😂😂😂😂
Always have tought about throwing a mattress to trunk and get a "cheap" camper xD
Great review. Carbuyer subscriber numbers now nudging 400,000. 👏
I like this a lot. I looked at the Volvo V90 but with the new design it has lost 10 cu ft of cargo space over the older V70. Huge mistake as people buying an estate want the space. Great review as well.
Very well presented review of a very nice car, well done James
The E class seems to be in a league of it's own
Only use "it's" when you can replace it with "it is".
@@ohwhatthenoob auto correct ya Wanker
Eventough it looks like a ipad glued to the dash, i have to admit that the resolution is excellent and at night its just WOW.
With the premium price but premium qualities, this will probably be another future classic.
Nice review. You've become a much better presenter.
finally someone who do the right test for an estate boot
3:12 I hope these gaps at the rear door do not come as standard
You're doing great, James. Keep it up!!!!
excellent review for an excellent car, Batch! 👌
Nice review! Keep up the good work!
Great review. ....thanks.
Stunning all rounder.. Interior of Mercedes is in a class way above any other manufacturer
Still ain't no alfa 159 sport wagon. greatest car ever made
great review and compliments for the omega seamaster ceramic! great choice! ;)
I'am waiting for the E class all road review!
i don't know why but i'm absolutely love the design of this car while it stationary but not so much while its on the move.
I like carbuyer reviews because they show the outside of the car a lot.

James Batchelor No problem, your reviews are very good!!
If only the presenters on top gear had that approach to their program it would have been a lot more enjoyable for me to watch.
It is now 2021 and I own the 2018 E class model. having owned both the 5 series and this Mercedes Estate I can safely say that the Estate merc handles so much better than the 5 series touring. Both great cars but a reversal of handling fortunes me thinks
That's interesting I was looking at 2018 5 Series vs E class estate. What MPG do you get on a motorway run ?
idk why, but this is my first time love an estate car.. maybe this generation e-class is too georgous even on its estate form it's still very nice-looking
Im questioning when they will do a review of the Ford Ka+ been thinking of buying one but I don't know if I should or not
Is there a spare wheel?
I think it looks better than the sedan, for some reason.
Excellent review and it's clearly a great car but it's too big. There are smaller aircraft carriers out there.
Buy a C-Class then
I had a W124 estate and a Volvo V70 when my kids were growing. I now have a Jaguar XE which is the best drivers' 'saloon' ever. Why buy a C class?
Great review.
Totally satisfied with our w210 / 2000 e320 Wagon @ 215,000 miles.
Still gets 22 / 26 mph, uses no oil, hauls our 7 person family & tows a 2400# trailer well.
Can't ask for much more than that, right ?
How is it getting on now? Interesting in buying an 18 plate with around 70,000-100,000 on the clock but apprehensive

Does this come as a hybrid?
I wonder what the use of that little basket is for...? My dad's C-estate has it as well.
The wagon looks incredible. I hope they make a c43 (or whatever they'll call it) with the new turbo inline 6.
Harambe Fanaccount 2018...
I love it with that S class grill up front!
Great under floor storage in the boot and the included basket but no gas strut to hold it open like in a bmw.
Love everything about the look of it but will never warm to the dual cluster/infotainment panel.
It's something about this new E Class wagon, looking at it straigt from the rear - it's flat and a bit weird. I guess it takes some getting used to.
Extra seats?
@Carbuyer Is this iridium or diamond silver?
As someone driving a Diamond Silver C-class, I am 99% the car in the video is Iridium silver. Then again, if you're doubting your colour choice, I can highly recommend Diamond Silver, allthough both colour choices look great.
Doesn't it have a 3rd row facing rear seat???
As an owner of a 2004 version of this, it's funny to see the similarities. I'll be keeping my V8, thank you very much. ☺️
nice but the only problem is fuel efficiency is pretty bad even in my c200 2002version
Ali RS The fuel efficiency isn't great in these new ones either. The turbo 4 cylinder only gets 23mpg combined. That's not great for a 4 banger with a turbo and a bunch of gears to use.
Q. Lawrence how's the rust?
Mark D'Alelio Minimal. I did some work on it and had it worked on. The car looks great now.
the 211 looks better in my opinion...
King of taxis !
also... king of hearses
Pienimusta i would pay just to go in that
Pienimusta well there is a reason, they want the best for their costumers so no audi or bmw lol
1:42 I think that is so big. So why he said "that is so BICK" ??
cop con He didn't. You misheard.
How tall are you again?
Which E Class has the air suspension?
Struggling to come to terms with the fact that Mercedes built a larger estate car than Volvo
please do the audi rs6
no manual ?
I love Merc and BMW. I currently have a e46 3 series and it's great but they are too small for logging thing around. BMW 6 series, Mercedes CLS, or an estate? Estates don't seem to look as smooth
If you are comparing 6 series gc and cls, the new panamera is probably the best
Arya Pradhana D thank you. Yes I know the panamera is fantastic it's probably my favourite car. Though I will be getting one ATleast 5 yrs old and panamera only came out 09 I think and are still around 100k Australian dollar
AdvancedEliteGaming I think a7 is better because it has hatch opening which is more practical
It still does not have the boot space of the old W210 E class estate which was in production from 1996 to 2005
W210 ends at 2002
I don't like this car but is good!
The back end is exactly like the old Volvo v40
from what I heard so far I can say BMW is very popular in UK
Who misses carwow already
Idk y they take tht 2hp from the power
What happened to the backward third row 'dicky seat'!?
G Rodriguez I think that's the R Class.
This car has acres of space in the boot 😮😮
nice review about a very nice car, not so sure about the gray color though. makes the vehicle look less expensive and its just not beautiful at all
Foer Hoen I personally love the colour, particularly on this AMG line spec
Mossboy16 meh it looks too casual in my opnion. I would orefer it in black with tanned windows, that looks sick! But hey everybody has his own taste :)
I'm pretty sure it was him, not Ginny.He has plenty of reasons to hate Mat
Race demonstration aside stage slightly evil connection.
At the end of this video it looks like an A6 from the side.
It actually does!
+Firemarioflower Is Audi owned by your dad? Why do you care?
Firstly, your initial comment made me cringe and secondly,I literally face-palmed at your reply. I meant 'does you dad own the whole Audi brand?' just like you referred to Audi as a brand, not as a car. Smh...
it's a hearse...
You can't get it as a hybrid yet...
I actually prefer the look of the Merc compared to the Volvo, especially with regards to the rear end, I’m not a fan of the sloping tail of the Volvo.
Dat boot...
beauty
2016?
Wait. It's looks just like the c class. There's barely any change.
That's what I thought
James SEZ true, but when standing next to it you see its massively more.. massive!
Yeah, looks just like. :-)
All mercedes just like all bmw's look very similar? been that way for decades
It's a Mercedes copy & paste special
Nine speed automatic??!
Its Holiday,not vaction! This is not America.
The previous version look better at the back, this one had light like Audi. The boot space is less spacious than older version. It is not so functional like older version do to sloping roof which give you less possibility to move larger objects. So continue doing this coupe styling you mercedes going wrong direction. Why to do it while you had cls shooting brake?
Is he wearing a rolex?
It's an Omega Seamaster Professional Ceramic.
정말,
갖고싶은차.
Maybe practical, but the exterior isn't as pretty as the A6 or 5-Series.
You need to get Mat Watson back on these reviews.
There is like a mix of posh accent in there lol
Quality is not as good as should be, I found the quality of the Citroen ds5 much better (great review by the way)
please stop about that transmission tunnel and 5th place. These are most of the time company cars with only the driver in it. Personally only drove once with 5 people.
if you guys don't know he is about 5ft 10
lmao 2 x times he mentioned
sidd98110 haha funny! but to be fair he has to reiterate his height on most reviews as not everybody watches every one.
Samuel Brooks well it is +_+ I'm shorter than 5.10
"Vacation"?
Please can you do a review on the Daihatsu move please there very well designed cars x
well maybe he could do another car off theirs because there are lots of dealers in the uk
daihatsu.co.uk/index2.php
IAteYourCookie Daihatsu no longer sell cars in the UK.

Lot of space
I rather have the V90
So basically this can suitable for Man with Mercedes Van. person who can move thing in style.. lolz
????? Undecided
after all that at 5ft 10 you seem to be sat on top of the steering like a person whos 5ft 5.
well I bought s class coupe for my gf small but better

That voice WTF!!
"The plastic touches really nice"?!
When did he say this?
3:45
Lmao. I think it was a slip of tongue because looking at where he touched, it seems to be leather.
chancy319 That is not what I am on about here. He says there that plastics on this car "feels good/premium." How the hell does fucking "plastic" feel "good"?

That car is fitted with 20" wheels. Just sayin'...
such a decade old unsophisticated design compared to audi
