Hi guys,
currently have a W213 E220d AMG Line. I'm in the UK. It has both the screens, 19" inch AMG wheels and body kit etc, intelligent LEDs (premium plus spec basically) .

Love the comfort and interior ( apart from run flats' edginess at slow speed) , but the styling is just a bit too sensible for a 32 yr old like me!
The c257 CLS looks great in person, in the right colour and wheel spec, and is really tempting. They're also a lot more commonly available with the new ,incredibly refined and powerful straight 6 diesels, in 350 and 400d form with 4 matic, which I'd love. There's not many E Class here avail. with that engine, hence fewer deals on them.
My 220d is just about brisk enough and very economical but I'd really prefer 6 cylinders and the huge torque .
So has anyone moved from an E to the new CLS , and if so how did your passengers find the rear space, and how did you find the narrower boot / trunk opening and the other small differences ?

I just got my CLS 450 from E300 W213.
Backseat pace is smaller than E class definitely specially head room is much lower due to the coupe desgin.
If you have anyone carries in back seat, probably stay with E is better.
I am not sure the trunk size, because I don't use it the trunk that much.

A mate in Japan went from an E W213 to the CLS. In Japan they offer the 220d in the CLS. NOt here in Australia though. He really rates it and said it is a better car than his E.
