Looking at a facelift E 220 Cdi Estate, around a 07/08 plate. Are these under powered for what is quite a big car? Should I really be looking at the E 280 instead. Any one with any advice on these? Thanks

Yes, just every day use for work really. Will be doing circa 20k per year. Won't be towing with it, just general use. Thanks

Wow, thanks for all the replies guys. So, it seems to be perfectly adequate for my daily business use, a mixture of A roads and some motorway driving. I'm going from an Audi A6 Quattro with the 3 litre engine, which to be fair has great power and torque when required.
