You have to compare by class so e class is the same class
The e class has cheaper plastic but the seats are the biggest let down with cheap feeling leather in the mercs unless you pay to upgrade

Just over 1 week in and managed to get comfy now
Not really done that many miles as I have been working away but it's very economical getting close to 60mpg on longer runs

That's some impressive figures considering its not the smallest engine or car.
I have the fords 170 2.0tdci and struggle to get more then 47mpg completely different cars I know but a huge difference in fuel.

That's mental. 41mpg for a small Fiesta for me.
I need a new car

Have you done a brim to brim comparison?
The computer is inherently inaccurate so I'd be interested to see how close it gets.
Very impressive nevertheless, that's a big car and its making five year old superminis look thirsty.
