Best car EVERRR!

Best car I have ever owned(my first car). Great quality interior and very good suspension at the back. No squeaking at the back which is very good. Car does very quick speed when accelerating and brakes working fine. Headlights look epic when full beam. Didn’t fill gas in the car since I’ve purchased it, very reliable and good suspension in the back.

Worst car bought ever E500

I bought this car used with 121,000. Yeah, it may look nice but the air matic failed within two weeks of me having and the whole front end almost fell to the ground. I had to have the air matic suspension altered which cost me $3600. Also, now it's back in the shop for a check engine light and needs a tune up and going to cost around $1200. This is a money pit car and let me tell you Mercedes parts are expensive as heck!!! I'm getting rid of this car when I can. I already spent more on a merchanic than what I actually paid for it. Don't do it. You'll just keep putting work into it especially if it has the air matic.

Most performance-centric vehicle I've ever owned

I've owed this vehicle for over 13 years. This vehicle has a naturally aspirated 8 cylinder engine with 300+ HP and 339 lb.ft of torque. This vehicle even after all these years performs like a sport car with its sports tuned air-suspension, height-adjusting control and much more. I have had some issues with brake sensors. I fixed that and drove without any issues for 10+ years. Now, I have a bit of a brake-pad wear-sensor issue. The dealer asked me to bring it in. However, I'm afraid they'll charge me an arm and a leg. So, I'm trying to fix it myself. I already replaced the left break-pad wear-off sensor and there's no issue. However, even the dealer can't find the right sensor. I'll do a bit more research and see what I do to fix that. Hopefully, that will take care of the break pad warning light on the dash. I replaced the front brakes myself using quality parts with lifetime warranty. So, I'm not too concerned. I will buy another E class or S class without questions so long the year model has no known issues.

A sport sedan, 5.0L 16 valve engine is amazing!

The engine runs like new after 150,000 mi. Never takes oil! Air suspension is wonderful- 3 modes, great braking, very fast acceleration, paint, body, exhaust & interior doesn’t wear out! Fine car!
