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

    Plenty of passing power. Dont be fooled by the looks, this is not grandpas Mercedes. Great legroom. Mechanically reliable. I always have a smile driving this car, until its time to refill.

  • Good:But Lexus is just as good. - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Overall, the car is fun to drive and very comfortable. Performance is good and interior design is not bad. The front is very attractive but the rear I dont like as much. Looks too much like a box from behind.

  • Could be Better - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    The looks and lines of the car with the sport package is outstanding! The engine is peppy while not a gas hog. Steering is heavy at times in turns. The turning radius is great in tight spots. The ride has been disappointing for a luxury $50k+ car. Frankly, I have driven cars costing half as much that ride better on rough surfaces. The single wiper is an issue as it never seems to clear the windsshield very well. The ventilation never seems to adjust correctly. It blows cold air in the winter and warm air in the summer.

  • Good Car - Could Use Some Improvements - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Had car for just under 2 years and 27000 miles. Love power/acceleration and AWD system (with Blizzak snow tires, car will go anywhere in any weather). No mechanical problems to date. Car is relatively anoymous and yet it commands a certain respect. Need improvement: 1. Front seats - in order to get lumbar support, had to order a special seat; worst drivers seat that I have ever experienced (and have had cars from many manufacturers including, Jaguar, Nissan, Saab, Mitubishi, VW) 2. Not having a separate dash insert to play a CD is ridiculous in a car costing this much

  • Rolling Passion - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Driving this automobile has been an absolute joy. It hasnt always been smooth sailing. Have had to replace a motor mount and alternator; booth covered under warranty. Other than that its been very reliable and has allowed me many enjoyable miles to reflect on what this car is really about. It does everything well. Sure a BMW 5-series will out handle this car but as a whole this rolling rocket is pure solid power wrapped in a much more elegant package. While driving you can feel as though the engineers have spent many sleepless nights designing this car; sweating every detail. Overengineered and it shows. Passion for their craft has inspired me. I Will have this car a very long time.

  • E55 autobahn Power!!!! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Great car Im very happy with whats nice about the AMG E55 is its exclusivity, not many people know what your driving or have any type of understanding of the potency and performance of this car. This car is an excellent cruiser on the highway or in town. I love it

  • My Batmobile - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    It is a well engineered vehicle. The 2002 E320 has all of the improvements since 1996 without the glitches from 2003 and newer models. The brakes and throttle are soft and the suspension are made for a comfort ride. The body frame is solid and has no significant vibration until 100 mph. No major problems with my E320 so far. Unless you consider adding windshield fluid is a major problem.

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

    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.

  • 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.
