Yes, I’m biased. No doubt. I’ve driven a few w212 and my brother had one. 4matic is a reliable system. Change and check the fluid every now and then. It used to be a non maintenance item but was updated to change at least for w211. I like the feel and seats of a w211 better but then I also had a w124 which fit and finish wise is still one of the best ever.
The rwd will have a bit better ride and be a few pounds lighter. It’s some of the little things I like about Benz. Turning radius for one. It’s remarkable in an awd car. So tight.
I’d also skip anything “sport”. It’s not a sports car. I prefer the look of luxury trim and also don’t need the bigger wheels. Always do your research on options. Lastvin.com works well.
I like airmatic. It’s fixable if it has problems and won’t break the bank. I use it all the time driving from freeway to mountain. Lighting upgrades are nice as is heated steering wheel option. Adaptive cruise Distrionic is nice but it wouldn’t be a deal breaker.
Still built in stuttgart and not in bama.

Two thumbs up from me. Every car company needs to do a shooting brake before they wind down petrol powered cars. Just because - shooting brake.

Purchased this A6 8 months ago after waiting a year for it to be built - semiconductors as well as the war in Ukraine (Audi's wiring harnesses were (are?) made in Ukraine).
My fourth Audi and I have been pleased with it.....17,600 miles and the only issue has been buggy software for the radio/media unit. Enough room for taking the 3 grandkids skiing as well as just hauling crap. 33 mpg on the highway!

Chrysler called it corinthian leather in the 80's.

That always struck me as really odd with BMW and Merc. So you're going to charge a premium price for a premium product yet your offerings all start with vinyl?
I get it, it's not a cloth interior that smells like a rental Malibu off-gassing noxious fumes, but come on at least make the base trim leather seats; you can vinyl the shit out of everything else if its that big of a deal.I still call it The Jake.

Is it really corinthian if not tufted and pleated?

Side question: Anybody here know what the best Mercedes internet forum is? Wife and I are starting to learn toward a used E class wagon so I want to keep my eyes peeled with forum classifieds. As far as Volvo wagons go, I've seen a lot of beautiful, completely optioned out specimens come and go on Swedespeed for way better prices than the stupid dealerships, so hopefully the MB forums will prove similarly fruitful.
