What Owners are Saying About the 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

"My 5th go around"

"What can I say? I’m a fan of Mercedes E-Class I’m on my 4th Mercedes starting in 1994 with the C-280 and My most recent is the 2008 E-350 4matic. The design has the look of a luxury vehicle which it should. The goggle headlights are my favorite which I miss since Mercedes discontinued that headlamp style. That probably explains why I haven’t let go of this beauty. The luxurious interior is elegant and beautifully designed. The panoramic roof is something to behold I’ve certainly got lots of looks and compliments over the years since I keep this car in immaculate condition. It’s probably the cleanest 2008 E-Class in my state. Due to the 4-Matic it’s a tad bit rough, you definitely feel the AWD but the drive is adequate and it’s decent on MPG 17/24 especially highway for a 6 cylinder with O/D. I’m biased because I’m a fan but honestly you get what you pay for. I’m definitely satisfied but I’m not to thrilled with the newer years and body styles."

"Class Ride"

"Purchased a used one with 75K miles. Now have over 100K miles. Only problem was burned out light bulb. Very pleased with ride and comfort. Excellent road car for long trips. Very pleased with fuel economy. Plan to buy a new one when this one hits 200K miles. You can really tell the favorable difference between this and American/Japanese cars."

"My third Mercedes Wagon..."

"Have owned a 1998, 2001 and 2006 wagon. This one by far the most reliable and lowest maintence costs. Also previous wagons had rust problems, 2006 so far appears to have no if very little rust."
