WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
'The Best or Nothing'.'最好还是什么'. It was the personal motto of Gottlieb Daimler and the criterion he applied in creating the automobile.据<个人座右铭gottlieb戴姆勒和他标准适用于制造汽车. A century later, it remains the guiding spirit of the company he co-founded.百年后的今天,它仍然指示精神,他的公司共同创立.
Most Mercedes-Benz customers feel the same.大多数梅赛德斯-奔驰客户同样的感觉. Few would consider a Vauxhall or a Ford, a Rover or a Saab as an alternative, however luxurious.路上还是很少人会考虑福特,罗孚绅宝或作为替代办法,但豪华. None of those cars could give them the feeling of driving a universal automotive benchmark, a car which sets the standards by which others must be judged.这些车可以让他们感受汽车驾驶通用基准一辆载标准必须由他人来判断.
There's a great deal of mythology in that of course.还有大量的神话,当然. In many ways, the Stuttgart company can no longer claim to be in a class of its own, with great strides by rival manufacturers, notably neighbours BMW, challenging the premium prices still being asked by the three-pointed star.在许多方面,斯图加特再也公司自称是在阶级自己对手制造了很大的步伐,尤其是邻近的宝马、有挑战性的溢价价格仍在问三指星.
Even so, the ownership of a Mercedes-Benz still remains the mark of instant status.即便如此,拥有宾士仍烙印速食地位. Somehow, just seating yourself behind the wheel is enough to send a little rush of pride seeping through the veins.或多或少,只是自己座位后面的车轮匆忙一点就足以自豪送经静脉渗漏. You've made it.你把它.

If you're buying alone, look out for badly treated cars which have been disguised.如果你买就有好自为之糟车已变相. Telltale signs are sagging seats and shiny steering wheel rims.跟迹象低靡座位和方向盘钢圈明亮.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on an E200 2.0 estate ?95?) A clutch assembly will be around £155.(大约2.0基于e200地产?1995年?)大会将围绕一个离合器155镑.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
An E-class isn't cheap, and its price isn't one that most owners would attempt to justify by quoting from the standard equipment list.电子类是不便宜,其价格不是一个最主要试图为引用标准装备清单. Having said that, the specification on most second generation cars does run to anti-lock brakes, power for the steering, sunroof, windows and mirrors, a driver's airbag, central locking and lumbar support for the seats.尽管如此,大多数规格二代车是否跑到防抱死刹车,功率为导向,天窗,窗户和镜子,司机的安全气囊、中央锁、腰支持席位. Mercedes-Benz has greatly increased standard equipment across the range in recent years and newer examples may also feature air conditioning and more luxurious upholstery and trim.宾士装备水平大大提高,近年来在全国各种新颖的事例也更豪华装饰空调及特点和修剪.
Much the same could be said in terms of performance.差不多可以说从业绩. Again Mercedes has made great strides and the newer engines, particularly the small V6 and the 220 and 320CDI diesels, deliver greatly improved performance and economy compared with their predecessors.宾士再次取得了长足的更新引擎特别是小而320cdiV6和220柴油机、大大提高交付绩效和经济较前人.
Handling is precise ?处理准确? the car turns into corners with a crisp fluidity ?车转入一个角落脆流动? and is aided by excellently weighted power steering that offers just the right amount of assistance.并借助于出色,加权助力转向只提供适量的资助. Less welcome from the point of view of the sporting driver is the steering wheel which, although smaller in these cars than in earlier ones, is still massive by most people's standards.那么欢迎角度体育司机方向盘,虽然这些车比以前少的,大多数人还是大量的标准.
Once you get used to that, you learn to respect the impressive reserves of grip on offer.一旦你习惯了,你要学会尊重储量可观握投标. The powerful, progressive brakes add to the all-round feeling of safety which the car imbues to its owner.强大的、渐进的制动加上全方位的安全感觉使得其轿车车主. Less familiar will be the unusual fly off parking brake, applied by a pedal on the left of in the driver's footwell.那么熟悉将飞到寻常停车制动器、适用于左边一脚踏在司机footwell. You release it with a facia-mounted handle.你用它释放筋膜展开处理.
The interior itself looks less austere than perhaps you might expect; Mercedes brightened things up for this generation by the addition of shiny polished wood or ?carbon fibre?内政部本身显得那么或许你会比预期严峻;宾士点亮起来为我们这一代的木材或添加光泽抛光?碳纤维? inserts, although the atmosphere remained very Germanic.刀片,虽然气氛仍十分日耳曼. You soon learn to live with the firm seats, which prove to be deceptively comfortable over long journeys, but less impressive on short ones.你很快学会怎样在坚实的席位,这证明是假舒服了长途跋涉,但是少短的印象.
E-class estates offer a usefully sized loading area that's reached via a low loading sill.电子类提供了有益屋型载货面积的低负荷达到经坎. They can't rival the spaciousness of Volvo's estate cars, but look very classy and should prove ample for the needs of most owners.他们无法媲美的宽敞的沃尔沃遗产车但看看应该很充裕,设备一流,为满足大部分业主.
OVERALL 总体
If you can afford the asking price, then an E-class becomes a surprisingly affordable car to own.如果你能负担的要价,那么,电子类得起车居然成了自己. That's down to design efficiency and tiny depreciation.那小小的降至设计效率和折旧. Your accountant and neighbours will approve.您会计师及邻居就会批准.
