Now it's time to show you CarBuyer's review of the E-Class, but we must warn you of a rather unusual tendency of boredom towards the end of the video and of the usual tiny bits of British automotive nationalism – which is always a bit dumbfounding since there no longer is a British-owned automotive industry.

Back to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, their opinion of the car is mostly good, with the only downsides mentioned being the lowest-powered diesel engine and an overall disconnecting feel from the model. It is after all, an E-Class, which is an executive car that isn't exactly supposed to be trashed on the circuit unless we're talking about the AMG model.

All in all, the extensive (and most of all, expensive) facelift did its job. The refresh is more than welcomed from almost all points of view and manages to keep the model at the top of its game in the executive segment.
