Hi all,

In the market for something modern that is nippy enough whilst looking somewhat pleasant. I have gone through a lot of endless searching and the only car that seems to fulfil my criteria is the W212 E220d 2015-2016 models. The only thing that is putting me off is potential costs as I do note that the senors/adblue tank can incur serious costs of about £2-3k if faulty.

My mileage per year varies from 5k-12k and fuel costs are not an issue once its 30mpg. Don't think there are any other alternatives out there apart from maybe an E400 which are quite rare and there does not seem to be much info about. Appreciate the help.

Why are the insurance on these so much higher than the equivalent Audi/BMW? Have always looked at these but the group seems so much higher for the performance.

No idea but they're pretty much the same for clients I've supplied them to.
