Mercedes blends
I am looking at buying a second-hand E Class Mercedes estate to replace a very old and dear friend. I have found an W211 E320 CDI Avantegard on a ‘54’ plate for about £10k with 60k on the clock (fully loaded: auto, satnav, etc.). Which is the better engine: the 320 or the 270? I am not fussed too much about the power difference.

The old 3.2 straight 6 CDI was supposed to be more economical than the current 3.0 V6 320CDI. Some problem areas with injectors in car-by-car breakdown at hjuk. The 5 cylinders 2.7 is basically quite an old engine
