As you can see, the distinctions between body styles actually turn the E-Class into four completely unique cars. These dimensional incongruences don’t just affect the way it fits in your garage, but they also can mean noticeable differences in driving styles between models. Since they all get similar gas mileage and are available with the same engines, the estate wagon is the obvious choice in terms of utility.
Aside from missing the attractive look of a coupe and the feeling of wind in your hair, there are no downfalls to the E-Class wagon. Actually, we probably aren’t more than 10 years away from a completely transformable E-Class. Have you owned any E-Class variations? We want to hear about your experiences! Leave a comment below!
