My only concern about C is its rear leg room space and thigh support. Even the NVH level and ride over uneven roads was not that good. I test drove a 1.5 y old vehicle. I don't know whether all this issues have any relation to age of the vehicle. But in E, apart from dated interiors the drive was extremely good. | |

| ![]() Rear seat comfort in E is better. If this is important then E, else go for the C |

| ![]() Just got my new C200 in gurgaon, but realize that it doesn't come with Active Parking Assist feature, when asked dealer, he said that in india it doesnt come with this feature and even you can not purchase additionally, also it doesnt come with parking sensors and you need to pay additional 40K for that. Can anyone let me know if above is true, as when i googled i saw some videos where C 200 with Active Parking assist. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() My final list includes C220 CDI Avantgarde and BMW 3GT Luxury Line. But still I can't take a final take. Finally I thought let my family decides which one to go for after a few more test drives! |

There's also the added bonus of the BMW being a LOT more roomier than the Merc. Any reason why you're going for the Luxury Line and not the Sport Line? | |

Even I'm personally in favour of BMW. A.S.S is better for Merc in my hometown. But I have heard that BMW is a little cheaper to maintain than Benz. It might be due to the various service packages that BMW offers! I don't have any idea on this. Both C and GT has its own pros and cons. When it comes to comfort, Benz will be better as per the reviews but I'll decide only after a thorough TD of GT. Regarding the LL, I felt the Avantgarde is comparable to LL than sports line. I may be wrong. But that's what I felt. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Man there is huge discounts on the E-class. Did the dealer mention this to you and if yes,have you taken it into consideration ? |

I started my research for premium car from E 250. But since the new E 250 is ready for a complete make over, I'm not very keen on the discounts it offers! I got an offer of close to 9L but it's still not worthy enough to go for an outdated car. | |

| ![]() Discounts offered with a bangalore dealer is 10L without any negotiations, on the old E class, looks like they are keen to dispose of the inventory, before the all new E is unveiled in coming days. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I test drove C today. Everything is there in C except the rear leg room space and a compact cabin! My brother and wife didn't like the cramped cabin space. Even I felt so. Now we are confused whether to stick on this or go for E class. Dealership is giving a discount of close to 8L for E. Is it fine if we take a vehicle that is ready for a complete makeover in a couple of months? |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() In the same dilemma my neighbour bought the E over the C last month. Many actually prefer the edgy exterior looks of the current E over the rounded looks that the next gen would come with. The Discount was about 10L. The effective discount over the next gen E which would be price higher when launched is possibly close to 20L for at least the initial period. GLA too was considered but it was found wanting in space. Now there are reports that the New E may not arrive in India till much later in 2016 or maybe even in 2017.
