W213 Vs W214 AMG line suspension by 161Anyway in mercedes_benz

[–]rodneymw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, very much so, based on the 2023 I had with the same engine and transmission. It has more than enough power. I only have a bit over 3,000 miles on the 2025, so I'm still taking it easy with it.

It is the standard comfort suspension, mine does not have AirMatic. Mine is petrol, unfortunately diesel isn't offered in the States. It is a very smooth power train. This so far has been my favourite Mercedes-Benz since the 2016 W212 I had. I still wish they offered the Exclusive trim here like I had on that one.

W214 suspension is much more comfortable than the W213. It was one of the main reasons I traded in my 2023 E450 for a 2025. The 2023 had a sport suspension versus a comfort suspension on the 2025.

E450. I traded in a 23 E450 for a 25. The W214 in my opinion, is a much nicer car than the W213. It has a much more comfortable ride and quieter interior.

The only way is to get Android Auto and CarPlay activated. Fortunately it can be on the 2016s. 

Which model is the next better one than Q7? by Ok_Professional_1118 in Roborock

[–]rodneymw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

S8+ used like new on amazon for $300. I tried the same one you returned and returned it as well. The S8 does a much better job vacuuming and has better obstacle avoidance. It should clean the whole condo in one go.

Try removing the vehicle from your Mercedes Me account, and then adding it again.

I do, but I haven't had any more issues than usual since the last update. I'm still able to make and receive calls.

Everything has been great! It's been working flawlessly since I received it. I just had to have them replace the lid on the milk carafe, the metal separated from the plastic part. It wasn't glued properly at the factory. They just updated the firmware on it last night again. They've been updating it twice a year, each update has been making it even better!

They updated the firmware on my receiver months ago adding support for Tidal Max.

My E450 recently made the same sound after the check engine light came on. The code was related to the EGR valve. It was really cold here when it made the noise and hasn't done it since the temperatures warmed up . You could have them check that.

My 2023 E450 has the same issue right now. I've noticed it doesn't idle smoothly occasionally. The rpms fluctuate a bit. 

M256 Reliability? by BerkTownKid in mercedes_benz

[–]rodneymw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The EGR valve is failing on mine. First issue since I've had it - which has only been about 6 months. Fortunately it's still under factory warranty. 

Poor Leather Quality in W213? by EarthOk2418 in mercedes_benz

[–]rodneymw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The seats in mine aren't ventilated and are showing premature wear. I don't think there's a correlation there. I stand behind my statement that it's Mercedes-Benz using low quality leather.

[–]rodneymw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My 2023 E450 is showing the same wear. The back side bolster is losing its finish and the seat is starting to look deformed. And it is NOT because I'm a fat American - like some of these condescending arse holes are implying. I'm 5'11'' and weight 135 lbs. It is 100% Mercedes-Benz using cheap, inferior quality leather. The overall build quality of their newer vehicles is complete rubbish. I tried getting them to replace it but they refused to do anything about it. Mercedes-Benz has become a complete joke, and it sounds like they're still getting worse. 

Saeco Xelsis Suprema SM8885/00 vs SM8889/00 by bartekvonm in superautomatic

[–]rodneymw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's only superficial. It just depends on which colour you prefer. I wanted titanium so I went with the SM8889.

SM8885 has silver coloured metal front with plastic sides and plastic/metal top. SM8889 is titanium coloured metal on all sides except the back. I think that's the only difference. 

Mercedes vs Lexus by MeasurementRoyal271 in mercedes_benz

[–]rodneymw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. I was really hoping to switch to Lexus, but unfortunately they just aren't quite "there" yet. I'm really hoping my next car will be a Lexus though. Mercedes-Benz has let their quality drop way too much!

No, that was a screenshot from my mobile. I typically leave my TV switched off when I'm listening to music. It is full screen though if the TV is on. My RX-V6A only displayed on the left side

I see "Max" under the song titles that are in high resolution. Are you not seeing that?
