Good performance car for a sedan

Have a Mercedes E350 and lowered the suspension for better performance. Love the look and handling of the car. It is a comfortable car to drive and so far no maintenance issues or expensive service bills.

Great Summer Car

We love this vehicle and wish we owned it earlier. We test drove it and knew this was the vehicle for us. It comfortably seats 4 adults which is sometimes unheard of with convertibles.

You can have it all ...

This is my second Mercedes. I bought a 2011 C300 two years ago. I had never owned a German car, so I was a little anxious. However, I only had one minor issue with my C class (air pump) and put on 30K carefree miles. There were only two things I wished were different in my C300 -- interior room and power. Both of these were solved when I purchased a 2012 E550. You can really fit 4-5 people in the car and you can blow the doors off most other vehicles while driving in style. This car has the 4.7L bi-turbo V8, yet I can get 27mpg on the highway. I love this style (W212 pre-face-lift). The newer ones don't have the same "look" to me. A used E class is the sweet spot for style, performance, luxury, and price.

Drives like a dream

This car has it all. Headroom, legroom, luxuries. It is not only luxuries, but powerful and gets excellent MPG at the same time.
