Positive Review

"Amazing ride!"

I bought this at 116K miles. I'm the second owner of the car. It's been extremely good in long distance cruises, you won't feel tired.It's incredibly spacious and comfortable. You can drive it fast if you want, but you don't feel like it. You'd just like to drive at a medium pace and enjoy the luxury feel of this amazing car. I've a 2003 E320 (gasoline, not diesel) and I get 31 mpg on the highway. The only issue I've had so far is one of my catalytic converters started to rattle. Apart from that it drives like a brand-new car to this day. I think it's important to buy a car that has perfect maintenance records. My car has never been maintained outside a Mercedes Benz dealer and I do the same. As long as you maintain this car well, it will last very long.

Critical Review

"My fourth MBZ"

This is by far the most disappointing car. It's particular engine has a flaw with the camshaft bearings. A $6,000 repair bill and still waiting for my $4,000 refund from Mercedes due to a law suit filed and settled. Also the 7 speed trans had to be fixed for another $1,700. Besides all that the car is beautiful, I like it better than the sport model for its ride.

Pros

Safe comfortable last of the over-engineered Mercs

Cons

Part availability/not for beginners

Bought my 06 E500 Wagon in Tulsa with 150,000mi on it. Drove it back to NYC in just under 24 hours and it never missed a beat. The car is heavy and more boaty with the air suspension, but you feel very safe compared to most Japanese or American cars. I have since replaced the air with coilovers. The sound and feel of the doors closing/opening is very reminiscent of the older benz's that is that classic tank feel. I have driven the car daily for over 5 years and doing all of my own maintenance, and the only major issue I've had was when the original radiator started leaking at 175,000 miles. Don't skimo out on OEM level parts or you will have a failure as I did from poor part tolerances on the oil cooler lines. The original Harmon Kardon sound system is also amazing for its age. Original sticker on the wagon was $75,000 only missing the keyless go and parking sensor option. I have driven to Maine and back in one day and it did it with no issues.

My 2008 E350 Feels Like a Tank Rides Like a Benz!
Pros

Elegant, Comfortable, Reliable, Chic...

Cons

Bad or Weak Front Seats Material or Stiches?!

I have had many good and bad experiences with cars in my life from near and far car makers, but I always felt safe and content in a Mercedes Benz. Their Elegant, reliabilities, and ride comfort are hard to match, Even though I had a Benz, not too happy with its reliabilities! Years back when I owned my 2008 E350, I drove it from Maine a -20F and 1-foot of snow to Death Valley, AZ, and 110F hot weather, I had a great ride and times with no worries. I have to say after driving for over 50+ years and many, many different cars and models, sizes, and shapes my prime choice today is Mercedes-Benz E 350 4Matic still! This car feels like a tank on the road but drives like a dream!
