Summary
The Mercedes-Benz E 230 W211 (2007) is a luxury sedan known for its refined V6 engine and smooth ride, which offers a pleasant driving experience with the 6-speed manual transmission. This model, as part of the post-facelift W211 series, has addressed some of the earlier rust issues. However, the M272 engine, which was used in models produced from 2004 to 2008, is known for problems with the balance shaft, air valves in the intake manifold and oil leaks, which can lead to expensive repairs. For buyers who are aware of these maintenance points and appreciate a luxury car with solid performance, the E 230 remains a worthwhile classic choice
