One of the best cars I owned.

For the money is much better than the oder cars. It is comfortable, drives easily, does not need repairs so often.

Coolest Car Ever

This car is fantastic. Super smooth ride, the top drops with ease! Absolutely the best convertible I've seen so far. Sporty yet there is enough room to fit two medium sized adults in the back.

Most reliable car I've ever owned

I own two diesels. An ML and a E350. While the automobile industry is boasting about gas mileage, I am enjoying up to and many times over 40 miles per gallon. Beat that.

My First Mercedes

Now I know why Janet Joplin was singing for one. I bought it for myself, but now my wife wants to drive it all the time. I might have to find her another car.

E350 convertible

Very comfortable car. I think I may be spoiled now with the ride and the supportive, yet comfortable seats. Great top down cruiser!

headrests too high for 5 footer

Love our 2012 e350 wagon however the headrests are too high for my 5,1 wife. In the passenger seat the top of her head hits the bottom of the rest. It is down as much as possible however leaves a large gap between seat and rest. Placing rest up higher to avoid annoyance leaves safety concern as head would hit rods in an accident. Should not have to use a cushion to raise up a person for a car of this price.

Upgraded from an Acura TL to Mercedes E350 4-matic

I traded my good condition 2007 Acura TL to a more luxurious Mercedes Benz E350. I have to say I originally felt like the car was going to be an old person's car from the stereo type I had heard from my BMW friends. But after driving this car, it makes you feel successful. It is smooth, quiet and powerful. From a performance perspective, it is a heavy car, but has plenty of power and handles nicely. It is a sedan with sport features, but not a sports sedan. Top end, smooth, speed is impressive. The interior is first class and very comfortable. The electronics are top-notch and useful. It took a little while to get used to the Navigation system and Stereo, but it is intuitive now. It won't be my last Mercedes Benz.

My first Mercedes

I traded my 2013 honda for this car and it was the best decision I ever made. considered other cars but it was irresistible. More comfortable and luxurious than BMW and Audi and is still comparable performance wise. If you want the fastest of the fast go for the AMG. This car definitely turns heads and draws attention. Never buying any other brand now
