New BMW 5 is the best!
MB E-class is bad in interior, and Jag XF in unsafe

(only 4* on test Euro NCAP - it's a shame!)

Did she actually say that the E-class handles better than the 5-series?!

I guess she's referring to the all electric steering being perhaps a little too artificial, but in my opinion the 5 definitely handles better. I test drove both cars last month and though the E has improved a lot since the previous version, it still hasn't matched the 5.
