I guess its because of more 'potential' headache - like the people who say VW no good are non-VW owners

I want the E400 frankly speaking. 333hp who don't want lol? Don't think there's local units for the E300, UK/Jap spec not my cup of tea.
And also I don't see myself spending more than RM100k on a car for the time being

Lol tyres shouldnt have been a problem if you are owning these cars.

I wouldn't trust any of hybrid bullshit for now, no matter what manufacturers. They are just shit shows to show their supposed 'green' commitments.

the prefacelift version e200, 200k km but around 4-5 years aged (that time), the ceiling fabric dropped, speakers broke, hard seats and uncomfortable hand rests that's hard too. Doesn't feel as spacious as japanese D segment car. It was fitted with bad tyre and the car's insulation cannot block that tire noise entirely.

i thought you anti conti car

Already have this badge in mind hahahaha

This is very common for conti cars, E39, E60, PUG 307 face the same issue too

I agree that conti cars feel smaller than Camry and Lexus ES. A common feel when comparing FR cars against FF counterparts

Avoid at all costs. Surely you can smell danger when there's so many W212's in the used market now. The warranty's just expired for many of these cars.

I know an SME who bought 3 units for their family to drive. Sold 2 units and kept 1 unit right as warranty expired. The unit that was kept hasn't given battery issues, but the engine noise and interior in very poor condition now. Build quality is just bad bad bad

But isn't the W212 FL is one of the least problematic E-classes in recent generations?

W211. 30k only.

can the car still working when the electric motor/battery didnt work?

I anti BMW and VW only
Because most of these drivers are cheeabis.

Yes. In sports mode

then okay la to buy, unless the battery itself is weak to crank the engine

The starter battery is independent of the hybrid battery actually haha

beli jer whatever tektek u wan....
new cars now memang not wallet friendly.
apa model lu pilih also die punya.

else beli jer w124,w202,w210
confirm jimat!

tapi tapi.....
camshaft gear selalu makan.
dislocated crank pulley.
SBC is a time bomb.

Scotty Kilmer rates bmw above merz, so that tells you how bad merz is to maintain since he also hates beemer

my dad's w212 banyak masuk bengkel liao. anyway, his model is e300.

no point getting a hybrid now...wait a while for a proper electric the EQE...no duties
