E-Class (W211) 2003-2009

Is it me or is the E211 cabin about as good as it gets?

Now I know this is pretty subjective but I have to say the interior of this car is just fantastic. I can't think of another production car that I like better. What do you think?

I love it! It looks really classy IMO. Real upscale as it should for that kind of money.

It is very nice, but to nit pick.....would liked to have seen the center console "cover" covered in leather. Other than that, I think its near perfect.

Put it this way,I would take an E Class over an S Class now as the interior of the E is so much nicer and more modern that it makes the S interior look too old fashioned!!

No objections. The interior is the best. I wish that S-class interior got the same quality, not better, though

well it certainly isnt you....ill tell you that for sure, i love the interior. The feel of everything is a lot better than the s430. we tested the s430, and everything in the back was very very cheap. and it made little squeaks...

agreed.....the E class definitely has a very nice interior compared to the older version or even the S class. all my friends love the interior, and especially those in the M3 and M coupe was drooling over it.
