Best car I ever owned

Great comfort, styling,power,handling with over 30 mpg bonus. Light effort power steering that gets more sensitive as speed increases. Night interior lighting amazing. The company definitely follows their motto of "The best or nothing"

Beautiful styling and super reliable Car!

MB made a great sedan with this car. The 6 cylinder engine is a dream and the transmission bulletproof. Quiet and gorgeous understated elegance the car was very versatile. Cost of ownership was surprisingly low since it is so reliable.

Great looking ,sporty, and comfortable

Purchased a used Mercedes E350 Cabriolet and could not be happier. Drove it 1700+ miles on a trip without any glitches or problems. Love the look, color, handling, features, and (believe it or not) gas mileage (almost 30 MPG on the road). Only real complaint is the electronics for this age seem pretty dated. They work fine but just don’t seem on a par with other luxury cars from this year. Only thing else to watch out for is the “wood” trim coming loose from the heat. Glue that MB used really sucked.

Loved the car; Hated the Cost of Repairs

Pretty car, loved driving it when it was working. The repairs were outrageous - the last straw was the $16,000 estimate to repair motor mounts and ruptured transmission hose.

Best model for Mercedes

I have owned 4 E class Mercedes Benz cars. They are less expensive to maintain and run forever. We sold our 2006 E class with 236,000 miles and the owner still has it now and loves it. The Bluetec engine is the best as it has the best mpg. Love the styling and comfort for long trips and can hold 3 sets of golf clubs easily in the trunk.

INCREDIBLE german engineering

This is a great car, the suspension and handling is classic over the top German engineering at its best. the power is great and good torque with a larger V-6. The interior is well done with everything at your fingertips and all the gadgets/tech that you could ask for. Voice control and navigation works great. Never had one issue and the car still drives like it was when it was new
