Overview & Reviews
A favorite in the midsize luxury car class, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has provided an appealing mix of comfort, performance and safety for decades. The trademark qualities of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, such as vaultlike solidity and cutting-edge technology, have also contributed to the E-Class' great popularity among luxury buyers.
Over the years, the E-Class has been offered as a sedan, wagon, coupe and convertible. Contemporary E-Class models come loaded with luxury features and offer stunning acceleration in higher trim levels, with diesel power available if you want to maximize your fuel economy. The E-Class has never been the sportiest car in its segment, but its handling has improved significantly in recent years. Rivals are better in certain respects, but if you're looking for the complete package in a medium-size luxury car, an E-Class will be hard to beat.

Dissapointed - 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By Hate it - November 19 - 10:00 amI had the car since 6/2000. I had the brakes changed twice (every 10000 miles) and had electronis problem. Overall it was a dissapointment and my experience with the dealership was more dissapointing. I will never own or think of owning another MB again. My HYUNDAI and Hummer are kept in the garage. I love the Hyundai and the people at the dealership (I had it for three years and I love it, I dont care what people say its already paid off and it paid for itself 120,000 miles and still going strong)

Electrical Nightmare - 2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By Mary - November 15 - 9:46 pmThe car has been fine except for the electrical system, which has had problems off and on for my entire ownership of it. The latest issue is the electrical failing after a car wash (no lights, turn indicator, etc.). Scary. And the dealership can never figure out what is wrong. (Also the navigation system is quite poor and antiquated.) I would honestly never ever buy another Mercedes Benz.

Mercedes Money Pit - 1998 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By or_cagirl - October 27 - 3:21 pmI bought this wagon in Portland from a European used car dealership a few years ago. It only had 105 thousand miles, interior and exterior in great condition. My previous car was a 91 Volvo wagon and lasted 20 years but with teens being over 62, the Mercedes wagon has more leg room than the Volvos. Car ran well for the first year, then the mechanical problems started one after another. The cost for just an oil change is minimum $200.00. I paid $6000.00 for the car in 2010. Since then I have put over $10.000 into it in repairs. I spent less on my Volvo in the 20 years I owned it. I love the room of the E320 but the cost has been a nightmare. Caution before you buy!!!!

No more good Mercedes - 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By d r - October 26 - 4:33 amConsidered many cars in this segment including Hyundai Genesis. However picked Benz just based on badge and low price. Yes, although MSRP is high you can buy E class much cheaper. My version was with 18 wheels so suspension feels quite stiff and handling is reasonable well. Small turn radius. First look inside gives feeling of luxury. Exterior is the best looking in the segment. However if you look more closely to the car you will find that Mercedes is slipping. Standard seats are just vinyl. Leather is expensive option. No right hand rest place. Awkward storages. A lot of modern electronics which has buggy software and cumbersome user interface. Sound quality is reasonable good.

After first year - BEWARE - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By Jeff C. - October 20 - 5:56 amThis is a warning to anyone looking for a 2004 or 2005 E320. It is well known in the auto world about the problems with this model and Mercedes in general right now. It is basically an electronic nightmare. Since January of 2004, I have had the following replaced - rear door lock, instrument cluster (in speedometer), brain for the Dynamic Seats, 2- rain sensors, Command Center/GPS, 6 CD-player, brake issues. All of this in 11 months! It is a beautiful car and rides wonderfully and has some neat extras but you really need to think hard before buying this car. This is my first Mercedes and after paying $57,000 I am at a loss for words. Please take my words to heart - BEWARE.

Bad buy - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By Nomore - September 18 - 10:00 amI bought the first edition E430 4 yrs ago. I have nothing but trouble. It seem like I have to take the car in for repair almost every month. Every single light bulbs in the car has been change at least once. Fan belt broke on my way to airport. I wish I bought a Luxus. I will never buy another Mercedes again.

How could mercedes benz let this happen. - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By Jack Dooley - August 8 - 2:00 amThe only good thing about this car is the comfort factor. Everything else seems to be below average. I now know I would have been better off with a BMW, Lexus, or Acura. This will be the last MB for me. The build quality has dropped to much in recent years.

Nice car with lots of bells and whistles - 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By Frank Catalano - June 19 - 1:28 pmLots of technology but the interface falls flat... most of the functions of the car require you to look away from the road in order to activate them or shut them off. I also own a BMW and their technology is (most of the time) centered around the driver and are much easier to use.

Disapponited - 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By Amara - June 3 - 4:25 amI bought this car in July and in less than one week the dashboard started rattling. Few weeks later, the check engine light came on with less than 80 miles. The car was with the dealer for more than three weeks and several trial-and-error attempts were made to repair the check engine light. Finally, they diagnosed the problem and it was repaired by replacing some computer parts and some other parts in the transmission. This should have happened in any brand new car, especially in a luxury car. I have driven two loaner cars of the same model and they all had the dashboard rattling which is a manufacturing defect. This is my first Mercedes Benz and I am very disappointed with its quality and reliability. I had a 2014 BMW 528i and several Japanese cars and never had check engine light coming on.

A sturdy German Car, but overcomplicated controls - 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By Royal Barnard - May 19 - 2:19 pmEverything you always wanted in a great driving machine, but riddled with confusing controls. Navigation system overly complicated and difficult to use. Sound system has not on/off button. You can silence it, but its not easy. MBrace is supposed to work for in car WiFi. Had the car for 6 months and still doesnt work. Trial period now run out. I live far from a dealer and they say I have to go there to fix it. Meanwhile no more trial period. So thats out. But, of course, MBrace keeps calling and sending emails trying to sell me subscription services. NOT.... until they show me it can actually work. Passenger seats sit low in the chassis and make it a bit clumsy to get in and out.... and Im not a weakling. Final negative is the "eco" fuel saving mode. It turns the motor off every time you stop and keep your foot on the brake. Then it automatically starts the car again when you hit the accelerator. Supposed to save fuel and put the car in a better "mileage" category. The system can not be permanently shut off, and it comes on automatically every time you start the car. Giant pain. Having said all this its a nice driving and handling touring vehicle with all the blood and guts of a tough German luxury vehicle.... and its quite comfortable. Dont think I would buy another one of this exact year and model.
