zheshi SG Hi My family are seriously contemplating E320 and S280 and I search this forum many times but only find little posting about this 2 cars. The E320 is about 30k cheaper than the S280. We still can't make up our mind,which is a more better car. Could some forumite give me your opinions Thk.
GwenSilvz SG S280 more class!! and more useless crap... like seat warmer... and sucktion at the doors... Hey... your dad sold the other E class already?? I really wanna buy leh...
cornyfish2000 SG Actually not much point buying E320 rite... if u fancy the E-class might as well get an E200 or at most, an E240 and keep the balance... Whereas an S280 is a different class altogether...
saab95 SG E320 if ur after performance . S280 if ur after stature. Personally, I believe a S-Class should be at least a S350 onwards. The 280 is a tad underpowered.......suffers from the big body, small engine syndrome.
ditzy SG My neighbour who stays at the corner unit semi D owns a s420, s350, and a z4, but he only parks the z4 in his front porch.
VBlaster SG The E320 is going to be replaced by the new E350 with new V6 engine that is more powerful and fuel efficient. May want to hold on a while for that. Personally, I prefer the E look over the S280 look. Younger and more trendy.
Gedanken SG All depends on exactly what you want it for. For comfort, definitely go for the S-class - it's better-apponted and has much more room. A tall driver could easily turn an E-class into a three seater. On the other hand, the 280 really does have an underpowered engine for a car of that weight.
zheshi SG Thk for the opinions forum mate.. My family also feel the S280 is quite underpower for it size. i saw in the road before,there are S320,but i go check it up on car mag,but there is not a S320 series stated in there. Is there really a benz S320?
free4ever SG S350L is a 3.7l V6 engine only available in the long wheelbase version. As for the old S320, two version S320 and S320L, both of which are 3.2l V6. Differences between an S280 and S350L is about $40K+
turbonetics SG for performance wise go for the E320(the best E55 AMG), for luxury n status go for the S280 : )
Gazelle SG For me i will either go for E240 or S320. Actually why dont you consider the new A8? I think more and more tow kays are shifting away from the usual 7 and S to the A8. Good car, good value for money too.
Mercury_1 SG Do a test drive on the E320 & S280 and see which is more suitable. but when it comes to class and presence it will have to be the S280. Dun forget to factor in the increase road tax you pay for the E320.
free4ever SG I think the difference in road tax can be easily be offset by the $30K difference between the 2 car prices.
AE86tofu SG E320 is a better Buy…ok la S class is luxurious but the 280 is underpowered….will consume more fuel in the long run….and E-class is definitely easier 2 drive,park…who knows? If insurance is cheaper for the E-class I’d choose it…only downside is the road tax
