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.

Incredible

I ordered my Mercedes E350 in 2008 and it’s been such an incredible car. ( Yes, I did have issues with it at first, but the dealership took care of all of those problems). I now have 70,000 miles on this vehicle (I don’t drive much), and still absolutely love it! I still get compliments on the style and a lot of people don’t realize how old it is because it’s be kept in excellent condition!

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.
