Char 5th Gear March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 E200 Advantgarde or Lexus ES250 which more durable ( less visiting workshop ) and lower cost to maintain ? Most of my friend said European car always comes with high cost like often visit workshop and higher cost to maintain than Japanese made .

Earthboy 4th Gear March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 Not too sure about Lexus pricing these days but for E200 why are you not comparing with GS? the ES is front wheel drive so you are not comparing apple to apple so to speak. i think the Merc is realiable. My family has different E class over the last 20 years without problem. for maintain, it all depends on where you go to. BM is not that cheap. I think it is probably cheaper than C&C but not by a lot. E200 Advantgarde or Lexus ES250 which more durable ( less visiting workshop ) and lower cost to maintain ?

Heman75 Supercharged March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 The Mercs E200 and the lexus ES250 are not even in the same category to begin with! Advice... buy what you like and within your means... even thought it is going cost you more or more visit to WS... it can be reliable but if it is something u don't like and have to see daily.. isn't this suffering?

Mockngbrd Supersonic March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 mmm i'll take a GS or a Crown Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcscot 5th Gear March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 (edited) Bro ... it is NOT the same. The older ES was a glorified Camry but this newer ES is modelled after the Toyota Avalon which we don't have in Singapore though if a PI brought it in ... I am sure it will be a hit! http://www.toyota.com/avalon/ Check it out ... Isn't the ES just a glorfied Camry?

Nzy Twincharged March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 I'd go for the lexus. The E200 is like a normal B&B car. So common. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvobrick Supersonic March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 My bet is on Lexus for less visit to WS. And E200 esp in black whenever next to me I thought it is a taxi... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ER-3682 Twincharged March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 The E class more powerful but lower FC[now come with 9 speed auto],+ image Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiyotakamli Supersonic March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 I would say E200. Unless you prefer more options of es250. Speak from experience owning 2 E class before, problem free. Maintenance slightly on higher side but lexus also not cheap wor I'd go for the lexus. The E200 is like a normal B&B car. So common. But ES250 design so so, never excite me. Maybe interior not bad and also good to carry passenger. Otherwise e200 would be a wiser choice My bet is on Lexus for less visit to WS. And E200 esp in black whenever next to me I thought it is a taxi... If white it is But black? Where got black E class cab? Moreover the image as cab is luxury cab, not everyone dare to jump into that taxi hehehe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiyotakamli Supersonic March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 Isn't the ES just a glorfied Camry? Ita overpriced toyota with more options and different badge Otherwise, buttons display and design build resemble toyota. Might as well get toyota, cheaper maintenance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodooman Supersonic March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 E class cause I am Ah Pek and it is RWD and for 30k more, it is an easy decision. At least it is for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 (edited) LoL... Isn't Lexus a glorified Toyota? MB a glorified German car? Haha... Very odd anyone would look for durability rather dan drivability in this category. You buying B&B car?Toyota Hilux truck would be indestructible but would you get that instead? LoL... I think car buyers should give other makes a test drive other dan the usual default choices, broaden your perspectives to help you narrow down your choice to a closer match dan what you are asking now. If you do not have much priorities for you or your family you may list down your "likes" & "dislikes". Edited March 17, 2015 by Watwheels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
