  • Runs and handles as new - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Although I bought my E320 8 months ago, I do drive it pretty hard, and I drive it often. Even at 54k miles, the car shifts quieter than my 2004 Grand Cherokee and my wifes 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. The city mpg for me is 17 city. The pick-up is fantastic while the handling is great! The interior is simple, but functional. My wife doesnt quite like the seats (she says that they are uncomfortable). The dash cluster is much friendlier than the 2003 BMW 5 series. My mother has a 525 and the steering wheel blocks the dash. I cannot see how fast I am going. Even though I move the steering wheel, the dash cluster is still blocked. I am glad I bought the E320. I favor it over the BMW.

  • Luv-n It in Alaska - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I bought this for my wife. The grandkids were coming home, and I wanted more security than the 04 Outback wagon. So, one day were cruising the lots in Fairbanks, AK. and find this sweet E320 4matic. So, we test drive and she is really liking the car, but is reserved. It is way more car than we have ever owned before. Now, I do own an 83 240D, and love it, 4spd 28 miles to the gallon on its second engine...but a 2002? Well I go to work, I drive the Dalton Hiway ...the haul road. When I get home 2 days later, the wife has had a change of heart...she had it all arranged. She loves the car. Ive added a few things, 18" chromes, stainless window trim, and wash it every weekend. Love the silver!

  • First Luxury Vehicle - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

    I fell in love with Mercedes after I first drive a used one and the drive was like I was riding on Clouds. There wasnt any outside noise with the windows rolled up and I was just very impressed with this used German vehicle!!

    What a car! The fastest and best performing vehicle Ive ever driven in 50 years. Cant beat the highway mileage too at 22+ mpg with this vehicle. Simply in a class by itself.

  • Solid German tank; wont let you down - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    What a great car. My first E-class, an E430, was totaled, and the same dealership got me into an E320 4Matic. Excellent ride; a joy to do some DIY work to, easy to work on and find OEM parts online, and a great community of owners at various sites, including benzworld dot org. Ive had Lexus and I just cant get over how much better the German ride is and how well Mercedes makes their vehicles. A completely different driving experience than even BMW and Audi, both brands I love as well. But for now, given the quality, fit and finish of these vehicles, Im glad to see Benz took a step in the right direction with the W212 chassis (2010- up) and Ill be buying a used W212 wagon next!

  • We love it! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

    This automobile has been exceptional. I have been a Cadillac owner for about 20 years and switched to Mercedes because of a bad dealer experience. I was not thrilled with the Mercedes at first, because it was different. However, the longer I have the car, the better it gets. For the first time in my life, I am seriously considering keeping this car for more than 2 to 3 years. It has truly been a pleasure to own. The service is exceptional, and the attention the car gets is unbelievable! Everyone knows what it is. Everyone thinks that it cost much more than it did. The gas mileage is fantastic, and the comfort is outstanding. If I trade this year, it will be for another just like it

  • So Glad I Bought This Car - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I bought this car with 90k miles and have driven it to 140k with only minor issues (headlight and window motor). The car will smoke about anything on the road and looks classy while doing so. I can get 25 MPG on the hwy, haul 4 adults and their stuff, and still toast all the Mustangs and the older Vettes. Routine maintenance is expensive - but tolerable. I am pretty sure this car will be remembered as a classic MB.

  • this car is got eletrical prolem - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

    maybe its just my car. this car is got 2 many computer stuff and wires. my CD changer can never be fixed amd i tried 3 times. this car is pure luxury and performance, but the germans need to put efforts on the wirings.

  • A great car. - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    My E320 has been a great car so far. The ride is really smooth and street bumps can hardly be felt. The six cylinder has plenty of power even when the car is full of passengers. The am radio had terrible reception because of a loose antenna but was fixed. Another problem initially was a malfunctioning alternator sensor but again was fixed. The fit and finish is excellent. I traded a 2001 C320 for this because the C had many problems.
