Great looking car! Do you also have the panorama roof?
Very simular looking as my ride, but I have the AMG package (and the roof, something my wife strongly wanted. Very happy with that option)

It is a good looking car though and I really like my custom wheels, the Mandrus 23's. They are only around 300 a piece and stronger than the stock wheels which tend to bend with potholes.


Another sharp looking white Estate. I'm sold! Now if I can just find a nice well kept used one next year.

Yes ours does have the panorama roof. Too bad we can’t get one with no sunroof.

Mine has the sunroof too. I’ve never experienced an problems with any of these sunroofs guess I’ve been lucky so far. I can tell there’s not gonna be that many deals to be had with these cars in the future since they have stopped importing them to this country. I was researching getting a loaded 2020 for my car they are both hard to come by plus the dealers want top dollar. Too bad these cars are going away for 2021.

What are the differences between the '19 and '20 E Class cars? Upgraded MBUX? Any differences in HP? I want to widen my search for a wagon as much as possible without sacrificing any significant improvements.

no real differences. Options packages slightly different. No more button on the backseat to fold it down on the 20s. Need to pull the lever in the back.

Thanks. This is good news. What about 2018? This would be the oldest model I would consider as I want some warranty and purchase a 3 year extension.

Have they removed the electric folding back seats?
A great feature, use it almost weekly

I have never cared for the Panorama Roof, for two reasons: First, I am not thrilled with having a roof made of glass hanging over my head. Second, I hate the way it completely changes the look of lighter colored cars. There are also several stories about the glass breaking—for no apparent reason—and MB refusing to cover it under warranty, telling owners to file an insurance claim. When looking for my wagon, if I saw the pano roof, I immediately moved on.

ya no more button you press next to the seat so mb saved some money eliminating that in the 2020s.

with sunroofs I guess I’ve been lucky I’m on my 3rd wagon and never had any issues. On my second s550 and no issues with them on that either.
