2017 E 300 Disappointment

Horribly functionality and unreliable electronics. I just don't trust this car. I am forced to put my starter in a specific dock for charging in the dashboard; just give me a key please if I have to put it somewhere. No recognition of a baby carriage coming right at my car as I was in slow traffic, but when I pull into my garage the beeping system goes nuts; and the worse navigation system. The problem with the car started with black "brake-dust" covering the front wheels, which the dealer said was normal; I never had a Mercedes with that problem. I previously had 2 E-350's and they were reliable, with a more powerful engine and a pleasure to drive. The new version lacks the power, with technology that doesn't work like it should. I'll take my 2016 GLE 350 SUV and WAZE any day.

Great Car to use

Very luxury, comfortable and easy to use. I planned to buy one asap. I recommend it to all as easy to maintain and spare parts are responsible.

Best Sedan I've ever owned

This car exceeded my expectations and I am happy that Mercedes listened to its customers regarding features it would like the E-350 to have and they made those changes what is now the E300.

Love my car

I?ve had 3 of these cars. I trade up for a newer one every few years. It?s a reliable fun elegant car. I most likely will get another one soon.

The coolest tech I?ve ever received from a car an

This car has a ton of technology it?s amazing. From the LED headlights and taillights to the handles lighting up at night. Not only are their lights on the outside it?s also all over the inside, on the door sill, the colored interior lighting it?s an overall amazing experience. Also noting the exterior the all glass roof that looks black gives a good looking contrast from a white or silver car. The front seats hug you in place and the rear is extremely spacious. Not to forget the dual digital displays are beautiful. At a price point of 57-68k it has the best overall features. I?m a BMW fan at heart but bmw, Audi, Cadillac, and Lexus all cannot compete with a car as well put together as this is. The only problem with the 2017 E300 is the 4 cyclinder engine is poor in sound but when your riding in comfort and style who cares?

Most beuatiful car I ever owned

This car is extremely comfortable, and is also a head turner. It is wonderful on long trips with its air suspension and driver assistance technology. Decent gas mileage on the highway, but it requires premium. It is expensive though. It has a beautiful black paint job that I feel compelled to wash nearly every day. Very little ground clearance, (my previous vehicle was a SUV). It is a highway vehicle only.

FOURTH Mercedes-Benz I?ve Owned!

This car has far exceeded my expectations. The newly redesigned E-300 truly defines luxury! It?s as if they copied the interior from the S-Class, and pasted it into the new E-Class! I got the luxury model, so I have the emblem standing up on the hood, which I feel TRULY defines a Mercedes!

Great car for the money. Styling, handling etc.

We always decide on buying the E Class MB because it gives the best overall value for the price paid. Over the years, we have bought 6 E Class sedans and every one has had important upgrades in styling, safety, features, etc. MB puts out a classy car that we really enjoy owning.

E400 Convertible is a Keeper

the 2017 is the last generation of E convertible using standard tires instead of run flats. The benefits on ride and handling is noticeable. The interior design is classic and every bug has been worked out in its last model year run before they moved to a new design for 2018. The twin turbo V6 is magical and the ride supreme. The convertible top is the best in the business. It is as quiet as a coupe when the top is closed. Top open, Air scarf keeps you neck and upper torso warm. The wind blocker on top of the windshield and behind the rear head rest makes highway speed a pleasure. The built quality is such that I will not hesitate to buy it outright at the end of the lease.
