Great Car
I don’t want to tempt fate here and I hope I don’t regret this in the future, but just wanted to say how great the car is and much I enjoy owning/driving it.
i know others have experienced problems, but apart from an early Mercedes Me glitch, my experience has been faultless. I have been lucky to own some pretty special cars in the past including Jaguar, Range Rover, BMW and this is my first Mercedes - but definitely the best built and driver/passenger experience.
Just thought i’d share A positive perspective !

EQE 500 4MATIC replacing EQC 4matic AMG line P
I agree. It is my 4th mercedes starting with an s211 e class. My other half hated it and said it was the most uncomfortable car they had ever been made to travel in.......but it was a great load lugger which we needed at the time.
Then a GLK not sold in the uk. Ok very solid an improvement for other half but we decided SUV were not for us. Then an s205 c class which was better than the other 2 probably at that point the best we had owned that got drowned sadly...but the s213 is a lovely car and actually just what we need at the moment as we are re renovating our renovation so 2m load length is vital for wood...
Having had audi i think mercedes interior and exterior build quality and mechanical quality is the best not as showy but they last and clean up not showing wear and tear as easily. Audi were better interior build quality than mercedes when i swapped to the 211 but the mechanicals were much weaker.
So far no major issues apart from connecting the car to the internet sfr (vodafone) are rubbish. And a cracked bumper as a result of a car failing to stop at the first gilet jaunes manifest locally. I am really happy but am a little worried about the brake vibration issue as i use the distronic or limiter all the time.

I wish I could say the same. Well I did drive it a bit but that was in December.
Its been at the vpc for 3+ weeks now. Do you know how many cars are made in 3 weeks? Yet they can’t process them efficiently at all.
