If we're going as specified by GNE, then it has to be the new StreetDecks.
- I personally prefer the look of the StreetDeck over the E400, but I know that's subjective.
- Ride quality I think the new StreetDecks have the edge, although the E400 is slightly better than the older batches
- Seat wise, I prefer the Civic V3 over the Kiel seats, but once again that's subjective. I prefer a firmer seat, and I find the cushion on the Kiel seats lack support for longer journeys.
- As a person of height, I find the E400s low height a bit too low for my liking, so the StreetDeck definitely wins there.
- Engine wise, if we're talking the 4 cylinder OM934 engine, then the E400 wins, it's smoother and definitely feels more powerful, but the 6 cylinder OM936 StreetDeck is even better, it's so smooth you can barely tell it's running when you're upstairs, and sounds rather lovely.
- Build quality, I think at the moment Wright definitely have the better build quality, although I haven't really used either much recently, so can't say which ones are holding up better.
- Spec wise, I think once again the StreetDecks take it, I still find the 240v sockets at the table really useful (if they work), and I find the seat back phone holders actually fit my phone properly!
