Looking at one of the above. Went to see an E Coupe and C coupe side by side so aware not much in it size/interior wise, based on the same chassis. In total we do 15- 17/18k per year, when commuting, 25 miles on 50/60mph single carriageway in a morning , 25/30 miles motorway evening.Reliability big factor so 220, 250 or 350? CDI?

Any specs to look for, (Sport, executive etc)

Realise the CLC is a cheaper car but not seen one yet.

Budget would be up to 10k

Not sure what else we could look at, had a Type R, Cupra, and a Volvo D5

E Coupes are nicer in size & for me the fact all the windows drop (this & the extra space over the C Coupe make it the pick) & the smoother nicer 3.0d make it the pick of the bunch, contrasting interiors make these feel like a nicer place to be.

265 Sport with the Pan Roof etc

Thanks ZX, I had noticed on previous threads you like the Mercs. I mentioned a CLK but my wife thinks they look old comosred to E/C Class. I prefer the looks of an E Coupe/Convertible, a Coupe would have to have Pan roof. Wife prefers C Coupe looks.
