Mercedes-Benz E-Class 63 AMG

Completely agree with Randeep Grewal. Go for a Lexus instead. Benz is all show and no go. Despite, Lexus, Acura and Infinity, Benz has not learned a lesson. Crap build quality and a hopeless car. The AC in a brand new E300 CDI was not working. No cooling in the rear. Electricals are a nightmare. Mercedes is ready to relieve you of your cash at the slightest excuse. Unfortunately MB is the largest luxury car seller in India so their sales and service network is the best. They are in a monopolistoc market. Lexus India has a poor sales and service network. The Benz is not a daily use car. Constant repairs that cost a fortune. VASTLY OVERRATED CAR. But the taxi, limo, embassy, UN and fleet market loves. So do millionaires and billionaires who have a fleet of luxury cars they can fall back on when their Mercedes goes bust each week. Service is EXPENSIVE. $1000 for a E class.

There is no doubt the current year e-class rules this year. Be it the jag, new 5 series or audi a6 which are all excellent in their own right. 64 ambient lights to choose from, excellent suspension, brilliant 3-zone air conditioning system so everyone in the car can have their own temp and blower settings, mind blowingly simple and intuitive comand system for radio, media and navigation. Obviously ride quality is ultimate second only to a rolls royce in short if you buying a car in the range of 60-80 lakhs you should choose the e class its a no brainer!

Air conditioner effectiveness is 0: The Cooling continues to be poor, despite sending it for repairs many times to Joshi Autozone Ludhiana (the car dealer). My employee's Maruti Alto's air conditioning is much much more effective. Air conditioner smell: There is an awful odour that comes when the A/C is turned on. This smell continues despite sending it to the dealer many times ; Joshi Autozone maintains the AC filter needs to be changed to prevent the smell. What I don’t understand is that if AC filter costing Rs.8000/- needs to be changed after the car has run only 20000 odd KM then it does not go well for a brand like Mercedes Benz. Gear Change problem: When changing gears from P to D1 or P to reverse it does not function properly and we need to press a couple of times to make the operation. Rain sensor problem-During the rainy season, I observed that the sensor indicating heavy water under the car also does not give an indication. Hence I recommend not to use this car during rainy season since the hydro static locks will not work and the engine of the car will cease. The tyre-size is not appropriate for Indian road conditions. The Mercedes-Benz India needs to look into modifying the size! The tyres are not able to cope with the small pits on the road. Despite advising Joshi Autozone regarding this, but nothing has been done. I am very disappointed with this car! Though Mercedes-Benz is a "luxury" car brand but sorry to say this car has taken my luxury away!!
