Traded the C for an E

2012 E550, my 2012 C class was to small. Love the extra room and power. This thing has a ton of options. Loving it

Nice, and welcome to the W212 forums. What are your plans for mods? Since someone is bound to ask you eventually

Congrats! Nice looking ride. You won't regret it. I moved from a 2014 C250 to a 2016 E350 last week and I'll never look back. Feels like a "real" Mercedes, even though I hated it when people said that about my C - it was a fun car.

I went from a R171 SLK to the W212 E Class, and was amazed by how luxury it is,

guess I'll be going to S Class next

Thanks everyone. Doing Speedriven's ECU Tune,downpipes, and mufflers.

Ordered new wheels, and other little stuff yesterday. The C class was too small for me, I'm 6'3". New car is like riding a couch to work. Love it, and the power!

Congrats on the new car. I joined the forum looking for a c class, but after doing some research on here I'm leaning toward the E. Was there anything you liked better about the c class or is it e class all the way?

It's E all the way, the ride quality. The power... You name it. C class was to small for me, I'm 6'3". My E has more features than my C had.
