First Gear: First Ever Mercedes On Fifth Gear 

the E class.. across all generations, look amazing.. there is something about them that set them apart from their competitors.. am i the only one that thinks like this?

The w211 was a huge succes. You still see alot of them around today in very good condition. Even though its 20 years old today.

This guy keeps trash talking the old E-class like it wasn't a sales success, and isn't all over the street even today. I see more W210s on the street than I see of the 5 series.

Can he sit further away from the steering wheel?

Cupholders @2:45 "just as they are going out of fashion" year right

watching this makes me see why merc drivers have longer lives ,driving becomes more relaxing .

I see way more W211 around than BMWs of the same vintage. It would say it has prevailed. Especially facelift models.

I have an E350 model 2003 and it's a super good car

Funny how engineers can troll you and make you swallow your words. When he made fun of sensotronic braking, that it could see accidents before they happen, he didn’t know that somewhere in Stuttgart, in the R&d department, engineers were working on the Collision Prevention Assist that is now present.

This was way better than the 5 series

Geeez....in hindsight, BOY was this guy wrong. I see 7-8 W211s on the road today for every 2003-2006 BMW. Ha! Ha! Ha! Please....

That W211 was better than the upcoming E60.

I have the W211 E280 CDi (3.0 V6 ) late 2005. Owned for 12 years, when I first got it at 70k it had issues through neglect. I service it now and in the past 8 years NOTHING has failed. Its up to 160k and purrs like new. This car loves motorways and is a joy to drive. The power and smoothness is so very nice.

I had an E200 Kompressor 2001 which I bought when it was 3 years old with 52k on the clock. I sold it 5 years later after with 115k miles. Never had a fault in that time. Not bad for a supposedly unreliable car

This guy said E60 was better then W211??? He could not be more wrong

Ahh, the good old days of Fifth Gear.

I had a class every since it came out and never had rust issues

Always loved the w211. Especially in AMG trim... classic beau 😊❤

This is one of my favorite with my w203 very sexy car good confort, hi fi hardman becker and the quality of the interior masterclass with the wood i love cheers from Guyenne in France 🇫🇷 🐆

this is unmistakable Mercedes

Talking bs about old Mercedes interiors.. yes the 210 wasn't that good of a car but the interior was simple and if you ask me way ahead of it's time. Same goes for the 124

Can the volume BE any lower?

The E60 was shit and the W211 was brilliant

3:07 its called Linguatronic

aaand back to present, these cars...damn...are amazing and for the most part very reliable, boy he was mistaken hard. i had the pleasure to drive the e39 and its great, its the best 5 series ever made, but the w211, for my needs its way better, i still own it (e220 cdi 2004 manual 6 speed) today i ordered another w211 (2008 e320 cdi automatic 7g tronic, 2nd hand ofc.) even if i had to chose between audi's b8.5 a4, bmw f10, and a mk6 golf gti (tested them) but the w211 stil won my heart

look, mom, no rust!

love the 'Straight Leg' Levis

W211.

I drove one of these until last year. Great car. Not a spot of rust on it, just was costing too much to keep on the road (plus time spent in the shop without a car). Replaced it with a W205 C Class which is also a great car. Mercedes don't rust, that's why I buy them.

hello, I intend to buy a mercedes class e 220 cdi from 2008 w211 Elegance diesel manual gearbox is it reliable? I'm afraid of having trouble. Can you advise me . THANKS

I don't believe the reviewer ever heard of the astonishingly brilliant W124 E-Class. I presume his derogatory comments relate to the W210. I now own a W211 E350 AvantGarde. The build quality in some areas isn't up to the wonderful W124, nor is the ride of the AvantGarde's lowered sports suspension--but just like the W124 300E, the W211 E350 is a car that you easily fall in love with... the cockpit is so beautifully curvy with its real timber--and that's only just the very start.

My Lexus gs450 break down, so bought a 2009 Merced and dam I miss the Lexus,

BMW i shit…it’s the only car maker that says rod bearings are a normal consumable

I love the BMW E39, think it was the perfect car in its segment. However, I don’t like the way the presenter is bashing the W210, which also one of the best E-Class’s ever made and it was made in a time, when Mercedes-Benz still had its prestige appeal and quality. It drove like a dream and the interior was beautiful and elegant. The W211 is just an overall step above. I totally disagree with this guy and his understatement of the W210.

Funny how things change. Today people want the W210 and the 320 CDI was much better than any E39 diesel

I have one E270 w211 2005, the most reliable car in the world

I HAVE A HYUNDAI ATOZ / SANTRO XING IT IS 14 YEARS OLD...................STILL PRETTY GOOD

'What a cupholder just as they're going out of fashion.' What is he talking about? Firstly it's not a very good cupholder and secondly they have never looked like going out of fashion. Fifth Gear is and has always been rubbish and in informed.

Bulletproof car, if you get the M112 (V6) or the M113(V8) engine you will never meet your mechanic other than for oil changes and regular maintenance.

The facts that this man tough cupholders would go out of fashion mean that you should even consider anything that this man says he a conman

Ultimate E class has to be the w124.

Welp, this has aged poorly, time has shown the W210 is the better car, then again, if you look at the W211 in only the eyes of AMG, an earlier, more reliable Hellcat isn't so bad

The soud is fockt op very lo volume!!!

~WHat YEar?

What a boring review.

Funny how bad this video aged, the W210's and W211's are still all over the place and wonderful cars when owned by someone who knows Benz well. The air suspension was their only real major flaw in my opinion. I currently own two W210's one E320 wagon and one E430 4Matic Sedan, and a W211 E500 RWD Sedan. All great cars, and the parts to fix them are cheap and plentiful. Naturally the transmissions were also a weak point but only because of a lack of knowledge regarding the conductor plates etc, I've been fixing and flipping these cars for 10+ years now, and 8/10 when someone says it needs a new transmission it actually just needs serviced. Anyways, I don't get all the hate from him towards the E class, they have aged much better than 99% of BMW models. I mean what car would you trust to buy sight unseen for less than $2k at an auction and trust it to get you almost 3000 miles? A Merc or a Beamer? Personally, I'd go with the Merc every time... BMW will leave you stranded 10/10 lol
