Mercedes W211

I sat on a Merz E class (W211) taxi today. My feel is that it is not as comfortable and spacious as its predecesor (W210). The W210 suspension was able to take undulating roads and could make the passenger feel smooth throughout its journey. The space in W210 seems more spacious(internal). Technical specification may be different from my opinion. In addition, the diesel engine sound was coarse. In the W211, I felt like travelling in an ordinary car. Perhaps, the taxi suspension had worn off due to wear and tear.
