  • Power Plus Quality - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Has all the power you could want and transfers it to the pavement well. Absolutely no mechanical problems in nearly 2 years.

  • E55 Rare to find Only 2000 w210s Total - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I love this car. If you find one in good condition, with low mileage. Purchase and you will understand. At least test drive it! 0-60 in 4.9 and plenty of room for the kids and groceries. High forged pistons and AMG engine quality. Much better then Mercedes Benz alone. Buy a car with 100k miles, and your buying an AMG motor that will last almost twice as long. Unbelievable gas mileage, computer states exactly 24mpg on the highway at 75mph!!! An aggressive yet subtle styling. Very wide 275/45 rear tires. Even the elderly notice these! Took it to the dealer once after it was cleaned up, and was very very happy to see a few sales people line up to the window to look at my then 6year old car

  • Whadabout da paint chips! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Ive only had this car for about 4 months now but this car is great. I love the way it looks from the outside, but the interior could be better. The V8 is just right for me, but that doesnt mean that the E320 is weak and slow. I love this car. But am I the only person that notices how easily this car gets paint chips? This is my biggest problem with the car. I think the older models had more durable paint.

  • Great family car - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Considered LS and 540. Chose E430 for good blend of performance and luxury. Its perfect for our family of 4.

  • GOOD BUY - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    In a sea of pretenders, the E430 is the real deal. You will not be disappointed!

  • Wanders on the road - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Car will hold a straight line. I have to constantly move the steering wheel to keep it between the lines. I have not driven drunk in 30 years, but I could hold a straight line in my old Ford drunk than I can the E 320 sober. I am VERY disappointed.

  • Turns heads - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    One design defect, the carbon cannister emission control makes loud clicking noise when vehicle at idle, dealer says a fix could come out in the future. For idle noise should have bought a Chevy!

  • Great car, Bad service - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I love this car!!! However, there are a couple of cheap points, the plastic drivers vanity mirror has broken twice, the cup holder has broken 3 times, and my catalytic converter 2 times. The material bottom of the door would be better like my 190e as plastic, the material gets too dirty. Service seems to send it out with problems it didnt previusly have.

  • Wish all cars were made like LEXUS GS - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I bought this car without extensively test driving it. Campared the specs, similar to 99 lexus GS I owned. Very Sadly disappointed. All cars are not created equal. Miss the silky ride with the superb precision ride of the lexus. People think I am crazy if I tell them Lexus is a better ride. Every once in a while I forget I am in the benz when I try talking a turn at high speed. Also hard to keep this car within the lane. In my lexus I could drive with my hands of and felt the car to be an extension of me.

  • Great Car - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Purchased the car for a Sunday driver, however, I like it so much I drive it daily. The only problem so far is the dash display required replacement. The ecomony is much better than expected, 30 MPG on the road at 70MPH.
