2010 Mercedes E220cdi Avantgarde - Dog/Work wagon

So my new business has taken off quicker than expected and have found myself needing a bigger car for lugging stock and parcel sacks about. The A3 has been ok but the lack of room has started to get annoying so i have gone mad and gone completely over budget and decided on this lovely barge..







Ok its not fast but its bloody comfy and has more toys than i have ever had. Will hopefully find out tomorrow when i can pick it up!

Very happy with it, to think how much ive grown up these past few years thought id reward myself, i went to buy a mondeo!

Excellent choice. Will last longer than Blandeo so in the long run could prove very cost effective.

is it that lovely brown colour they come in?

[elephantstone]

Yeah it is a browny grey colour. The dealer photos make it look the usual grey. Will take some snaps when i pick it up on friday!

This is the best photo i have got which shows the actual colour.

Very lovely colour, nice to see one in Non amg line too. The pre facelift looks so much better than the melted facelift one.

Well i picked it up on Thursday! It is a lovely bit of kit. The engine is powerful enough, almost feeling quick one she gets going.. Think the auto and torque help with that. The interior is rattle free (unlike the Audi) and it just feels special. Its returning an average of 40mpg which I'm happy with and it even handles pretty well! The dogs are happy as they can see out the window when were driving now.

A photo after giving it a good clean.. The colour changes every time i look at it..
