Consumer Reviews
"As impressive as the 1998 e class. Destined to be a classic. And since I have only put 950 miles on it, I haven't really run it yet. Can't wait till I hit 1000 miles. Then we will see what red line is loke."

"In my previous review, I praised my new 2012 MB E350, but I forgot to include a couple of other minor annoyances. The lack of illumination of the instrument cluster during daytime continues to be a major anoyance. Another annoyance: If the battery in the key fob dies, there is no way to start the car-or none that I am aware of. In my previous car-an Infiniti M35X- there was a port in which to insert the key fob if the battery in the key fob died or just to keep the key out of the way. I wish there were one in the MB. Finally, with sunglasses on, the Parktronic LED's are somewhat dim and those above the rear window are difficult to see."

"I've owned this car for 6 weeks and so far it is the quietest and smoothest car I've ever owned. I have the sports model and I'm not thrilled with the design of the wheels. Also, my wife'car, a 2008 E350, had problems with wheels that easily bent out of shape. Friends with a 2010 E350 had the same problem. My daler said that MB had fixed that problem. Time will tell. My other complaint is that the instrument cluster is not illuminated during daytime, making it difficult to read if driving in shadows or low light levels."

"I owned several Mercedes and was disappointed in my last one a 2000 CLK. I tentatively went to an array of different car dealers and thought I might as well check Mercedes again. WOW was I shocked at the new design, appointments and all the changes they had made. This is the best car I have ever owned!!"

"I had E-Class MBs before, but I switched to the GLK, which was more affordable and was highly rated. I didn't like the GLK. I finally got so fed up with it drinking gas in City driving that I went back to the dealer and told him if he could get me back into an E for a reasonable price, I'd sign the papers right there. He did it and so did I, and I'm happy again. My new E looks great (I got the new color, steel grey), handles great (like it is on rails), is comfortable and smooth, and is well designed. I'm really happy I'm back to driving an E!!! The only thing I would recommend is that you purchase the tire and rim insurance. The low profile tires have a tendency to blow out if you are driving around where the potholes live. New York City is home to many of them, and I've been happy on more than one occasion to have the insurance. Great car; go for it!!!"

"Ordered my 2012 E-350 Cabriolet a couple months ago and picked up this great car 2 weeks ago. Got it with just about everything on it. Great car! Everything works perfectly, the interior is very luxurious and the car feels very solid. Have owed may Lexi over the years and never thought I would switch but this car has changed my mind. Although not the most powerful engine it is nonetheless quick and spirited when needed and a cruiser otherwise. The air cap really works well and you can have a normal conversation with passengers and listed to music without turning the volume up to max. Dealership was easy to work with and got the car at 4.5% off of sticker. The only negative I can find is that the Mercedes navigation system (Comand) is not the most user friendly, however, the voice control works better than any other car I've seen."

"We traded in our Infiniti M35 2009 model for the 2012 E-Class. Our car has diamond white metallic paint, panoramic sunroom, and premium packages 1 and 2. The quality is impeccable. The craftsmanship is top-of-the-line. We took this car on a 2,600 mile trip to Chicago and experienced around 27mph highway, our Infiniti had only 24 and the max. Overall, this car is a stunner in both appearance and craftsmanship. A true feat of engineering."
