    By Ewan Kennedy · 18 Nov 2013
    The Mercedes E-Class is a prestigious medium-large car that’s been reinvented in recent years. Once a conservative model, it has become pretty stylish as the Germans aim for a wider range of buyers.

    Broken door handle on E250
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 05 Jun 2015

    I can't say what your chances of success would be if you were to pursue a claim against Mercedes, but as the car is just out of warranty I would give it a shot. If you don't want to do that you could take it to an independent Mercedes repairer and I'm sure you would save a lot of money on the deal.

    Best car for limo transport?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 20 Jul 2015

    The BMW GT has a brilliant boot but, if I were doing what you're doing, I'd get a Hyundai Genesis. Perhaps not as prestigious, but the same interior and boot space as the Benz. And there is a five-year free service deal and a five-year warranty, as well as talk of a guaranteed future value scheme.

    Good sedan for long trips?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 06 Apr 2015

    A second-hand C-Class is a great choice but, if you can, stretch to the latest C200. It's a landmark car, gets The Tick from me and was an easy winner in our 2014 Car of the Year.

    How much oil should a 2015 E400 use?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 10 Mar 2017

    If you aren't doing it already keep a record of the oil you put in, recording the date, the odometer, and the amount of oil added. That would give you some evidence to present to the dealer and MB. As you haven't had any satisfaction from the dealer go directly to Mercedes-Benz (Ph: 1300 730 200). There shouldn't be any reason to be scared on driving the car, all cars use oil, it's the amount of oil used that it the question that needs to be answered in your case. In the meantime check the oil level weekly.

    What vehicle will be best to use for a chauffeur business?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 30 Mar 2018

    That’s a tough one given that the traditional chauffeur cars are no longer made. If you are aiming at business type clients and want to impress them consider a BMW 5-Series or a Mercedes-Benz E-class.
