My 2012 Wagon

Mtl20v · 11-16-2011, 11:18 AM

I love it. It is very comfortable, floaty and the steering is very light. It drives nothing like my E cabrio. You can tell this is what an E class should feel like. The car came pretty loaded but no parking sensors..

Nice. I wish they would bring a diesel 4Matic wagon to the states.

I don't think it's a deisel. Starting form 2012 they all have Blue*** badge on a side. It's either BlueTec or BlueEfficiency.

has the electronic steering stuff?

Mtl20v · 11-16-2011, 07:55 PM

It's just a blue efficiency badge unfortunately. People really stare at this car for some reason

NICE! I wish my car had electromechanical steering!

K-A · 04-15-2012, 11:01 PM

Why? I've never heard a reviewer do anything but rag on the feel compared to hydraulic/natural steering. The only reason manufacturers are moving to electro steering is due to MPG requirements (obviously that is a valid reason to prefer it on its own, if one values such over steering natural-ness).

Arrie · 04-16-2012, 12:37 AM

In the middle picture it looks like a front of a Q7. Is that yours too?

In my opinion the car makers go with electronic power steering because it is lower cost to build one, period. They may claim that it is also easier to control for variable steering power, which probably is true, but the main reason is to save money when they build the car.

BenzV12 · 04-16-2012, 04:05 AM

I presumed electronic power steering cost more than hydraulic steering

Back to the topic, this is a cool wagon as well

Nice wagon. But the reason the manufacturers are all going electric is for fuel savings. When they make engine stop at idle standard, they don't want you to have heavy steering while the engine is off!
