Maybe he doesn’t like either…😆😆😆

Still, it’s just heartbreaking to see how Mercedes has declined from the Nineties onwards. I grew up in them, and the older models were just amazing in terms of quality and passive safety.

In the late Seventies, it was said that you had, in terms of safety, Mercedes, and then you had the rest.

I have no clue whether they had in fact no competition at all - Volvos and Saabs (RIP) were very safe, too - but they were really very safe and robust, just a little uninspiring to drive.

You were more driven by the car than driving yourself, so to say - but if you liked getting effortlessly from A to B, without much of a fuss, then the MB was for you🙂

I have a 2011 E350 4MATIC with 78,000 on the clock and it is one of the best cars I’ve ever owned in my 75 years on this planet.
