MB E350 - the best on a market today.
I just got this car 2 days ago. Very pleased. I used to have E350 4MATIC. This time I decided to go with RWD model, because there not so much snow in NY last couple years, so I think it’s just waste of money. RWD model muuuuch faster and better handles comparing to 4MATIC. No regrets at all. I-POD, Bluetooth all work perfectly fine and very convenient. Sport Package makes this car very aggressive and sexy.

Quality Doutable
Pros: German car charactistics like no ohters
Cons: Reliability is doutable
Just replaced new one with my 2002 E320.
My oldie need visit MB deal every month for fixing issues.
For example, windows cannot roll up in middle of the holiday trip, sun blading cannot roll up in summer, speedometer failure, break switch failure. converter failure… What’s a luxury to spend in term of time and money. Some of my friends/co-works has the bad experience too.
Hope MB can treasure their MB brand to keep good quality manufacture /
MB is my dream car in my childhood but I must rethink about this.

Wolf in sheep’s clothing
Pros: Overall performance, civility, and subtle styling. Easy on the body.
Cons: Nothing pertaining to the car.
Great drive for anyone wanting a nice balance of unstated style, forgiving ride, and a kick in the pants performance. However, MB nickels and dimes the customer to death with add ons that can be purchased through the dealer. In this price range, buyers of this car expect the most ubiquitous of accessories (bluetooth, ipod kit, rubber floor mats) to be standard without having to worry about a hundred here and a hundred there to get them.

MB DIESEL FAN
Pros: large car, no smoke or smell of diesel, outperforms most on the road
Cons: little softer suspension and steering than prior MB E’s
avg fuel econ is 28 - 30 local and up to 38 on highway in a large sedan, sure diesel may be a bit more expensive but in the long run pays for itself when compared to the poor mileage gasoline engine get in the same type of car. Believe it or not you will not notable be able to smell the exhuast, and unlike my last CDI it doesn’t even blast out smoke on fast take offs.

Fabulous
Pros: Comfort, fuel economy, performance, stylish
Cons: Haven’t found any
I never really enjoyed driving anything with more than 2 wheels my entire life. One test drive and I was sold on this car. I LOVE to drive this car even if it’s just around the block to get a newspaper. If I didn’t know that it was a diesel before I drove it, you’d have had a hard time convincing me that it is a diesel. I drove 428 miles to visit family in Houston, Tx., drove around town for several days and almost 1/4 of the way back before refuleing. Unbelievable performance and smooth shifting. Above average sound system, great seat comfort, almost effortless steering but firm grip of the road. A truly great piece of engineering.

My 2006 MB W211 E280… Worst of my worst cars !!!
Pros: The last of the Vintage Look
Cons: All you can think about: Annoying engine noise; annoying SBC noise; inferior quality parts; etc…
2006 Mercedes Benz W211 E280 Petrol. Buying this car was my worst nightmare. Went in and out of the service garage for more than 14 times in a 15 months. Till now it has only done 9,800 KMS. Supposed to be as NEW. But, drives worst than my 1972 Dodge dart as I remembered. You’d probably think its ridiculous, but its the truth. I don’t care if you’d believe me or not coz it will not change my nightmare with this car atall.

Great car.
Pros: Best car I’ver ever had. Handles great. Excellent ride. Good acceleration. Great storage.
Cons: Navigation system needs improvement. Must pay extra for hands free phone.
I have enjoyed this car tremendously. Doubt I’l ever go back to a Lexus. Seats are artificial leather-look and feel good, but at the cost why no leather? Nice wood trim. Good styling. Most important is that it provides an extremely comfartable ride. Gas mileage is better than I had expected. Should have a touch screen navigation system, and for many locations can only put in a range of numbers, istead of the exact address. Audio system could be simplified-but sound quality is good.

BEST SEDAN I’VE EVER HAD BLUTECH E320
Pros: Fantastic Fuel economy and great ride. I look forward to driving in my car every day…
Cons: Truly, none that I can think of.
640 miles to a tank of gas…. I love it. The color, styling and interior are great too. Huge trunk space, great mileage, the car drives like a dream… You definitely get what you pay for — a truly outstanding car. I’ve had the Audi A6 turbo, BMW 530i and the 2006 e320cdi mzb… Just traded in the 2006 e320cdi for this 2008 bluetech — FANTASTIC. I thought the 2006 would be hard to beat — I’m impressed.
