Perhaps C class for taxi instead? Outlook similar too. Until now i need to go close enough during daytime to see the Exxx... to confirm E or C.. night time no issue as the backlights diff... daytime only the running lights in front most obvious...

Think my eyesight getting worse.. i love the new E. didnt dare to test drive yet... or... pocket burn again...

C class is too small for taxi. Would be quite uncomfortable for back passengers.

Day time, you can tell the E from the C from the back by looking out for reflectors. The E has 2 reflectors on the rear bumper which the C doesn't have.

I think the w213 is quite recognisable from the size.  The w213 is alot bigger than the c class.  But I don't see alot of w213 yet.

Liking the interior. So different from my w204.

Yes, the E class is very nice but very expensive. Those who are driving it is so lucky!

C&C told me taxis most likely won't be running W213's till at least 4 years later.

Limo chauffeur or taxi? 

[petetherock]

Maybe it's a good thing that we see such taxis.

I think they are more likely to be sourced from PIs. If they are used as taxis, it means they are pretty reliable and hardy. Furthermore, parts will also be easily available and workshops will be familiar with fixing them if needed.

No. But cnc gave a cleaning solution to prevent juddering just in case.

Wanna check with the drivers here whether they find their engines a bit noisy?

Congrats, bro! What do you have? E200, E250, E300, E220d? Each of these sound different.

Mine sounds ok to me. I am still driving in comfort mode though. Slow n easy lol.

[tuescon]

Thanks! I got the E200.

Another question, you guys know the cockpit where it shows which active gear the car is at? There's a C beside it. I was thinking it indicates the driving mode the car is in but it didn't change to S when I changed it to sports mode.

Anyone know what that is?

I'm still driving on comfort mode too cos I only just got it. lol

[ArcherLau]

I think the C is the dynamic drive settings... I'm waiting for my car to be available next week. 

[tuescon]

yea i changed it to sport but it was still C.
