Own an 07 W211 220cdi and looking at replacing it in March 10 with w212 E250 or E350. Trouble us I've driven both and I'm not impressed. Build quality has gone downhill and they seem to have skimpted on a few things just save a few quid - no secondry visor, no "rest" heater function, headrest's don't fold down flat anymore, smaller boot etc etc nono

Engine noise was noticable at only 3k. yes

Also, it. just doesn't feel or look like a proper merc. Is this because it's the new model and I'm being a nobber?

Anyone upgraded from the 211 to 212 and initially had doubts by now love it?
