E350 is excellent.

One of the best in its class. Great power to pass, comfortable composed ride, good on gas and very reliable. The interior and exterior quality is class leading. This car is fully loaded with the sports package. Routine maintenance on these vehicles is a must, do that and you’ll never have a problem.

Best looking model year for sure

The 2008 model had the best body styling for sure. Aggressive lines and classic Mercedes front end. This car is a dream to drive...handles perfect...has lots of torque in the engine and cruises effortlessly on the highway. This year was the last year the car felt like it was made of real steel as well. You feel like you have a substantial car around you when driving this car. The newer cars feel flimsy and cheap.

Hits all the marks, Comfort, Style, Reliability

This is our 41st Mercedes and the best overall in terms of comfort, endurance, reliability, and performance. At 12 years old, it looks and performs as new.

Very reliable and comfortable

Meets the major needs in a car. Very safe and looks good driving down the road after a nice wash and wax and worth the price!

Most comfortable car I've ever oned or driven.

This car is a good choice for an affordable luxury sedan. It isn't too big for a daily driver and being diesel, gets excellent mileage. The interior and ride are far above the C class cars. Plenty of power, smooth ride. One can see out quite well. The extras are quite convenient. Key fob never has to leave your pocket or purse with push button start, auto unlocking doors, easy to use touchscreen entertainment center.

Very nice awd car, with awesome gas mileage

We've been very satisfied with the comfort, styling, quality, and surprised with the awesome gas mileage with this car. It's truly a luxury car that we picked up, at a very used price. But the car has weathered its years very well, and is an awesome example of Mercedes-Benz quality !!!!!

Great commuter and trip car for tall folks.

This car has been rock solid reliable and inexpensive to own. I do all my own maintenance and this car is not hard to work on. Oil is a little more expensive than other cars because it is a diesel. It also has two air filters but it is simple to do these things on it. It gets about 36 mpg on highway and 25 mpg around town. I average about 30 mpg. Power is good with over 400 ft/lbs of torque available almost immediately. Very smooth ride, great leg and head room. I am 6'4" and can get very comfortable. Another good thing is no adblue for 2008. Overall 9 out of 10!!!

Best e-class Mercedes I have ever owned

This e-class is now 10 years old with 97,000 miles, the longest and most miles I have ever kept a family car. I am reluctant to replace it because it runs so well and has been so reliable.
