Overview & Reviews

Diesel fans, rejoice! After years of waiting, a Mercedes-Benz diesel is once again available in the States, as the E320 CDI joins the lineup. For now, this model is only 45-state certified, meaning that it's unavailable in California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York or Vermont. Beginning in March 2005, the base E320 becomes the E350 with the addition of a 3.5-liter V6 with 51 more horsepower. At the same time, a sport package will be added, which features upgraded suspension tuning and wheels, as well as steering wheel-mounted shift buttons. Complimentary scheduled maintenance program has been dropped for 2005.

• Sleek and dignified design inside and out, pleasing blend of ride and handling, sophisticated safety features, all-wheel drive available on both sedans and wagons.

• More expensive than competitors, confusing control layout, electronically controlled brakes lack progressive feel.

  Super Car! - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Alan B. - December 29 - 10:13 am

  Solid, smooth, handles well and is a wonderful alternatve to a bulky, poor-handling SUV! This wagon drives like a sedan, is comfortable like a sedan, yet has tons of storage space. My only complaint is the usual problem with the stupid headrest that travels upward, whether you move the seat back or forward. Mercedes needs to fire the engineer who designed this bizarre feature into the car! Other than this, the best car (wagons) on the road. Had an Audi Allroad and this is FAR superior in all respects!

  2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 - A Nice Business Car - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By phil - December 2 - 5:10 pm

  As a 42 year marketing veteran who transports clients in his car, I needed a dependable business sedan that has an image matching my success and style. This cars performance and economics are there and its the passenger accomodations provide my clients with the comfort and pleasure to focus on their business decisions. This is my fourth Mercedes and we have been a great team!

  a geat car - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Victor G Zilinskas - November 3 - 10:00 am

  I have owned, in the past, BMW M3 and 540i, MB S500, etc. By far, this is my favorite car. Great balance of performance, luxury, size, and it is beautiful. I believe that the time of 5.8 seconds of 0-60 is accurate. The cornering ability, with maximum stiffness of suspension, rivals the BMWs. The fun factor is the tops. All in all, my favorite car of all times.

  So far, so good - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By trg - September 20 - 10:00 am

  So far, so good- everything has been 100% reliable. Handling is outstanding. The 7 speed transmission is the best automatic that Ive seen. Economy is better than I expected (20+mpg).

  Great Stylish Ride - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Mercedes Buff - September 16 - 12:50 am

  After the initial bugs [SRS Airbag waring sensor issues, and electrionic key ignition excitering failure] were worked out after the first 10 months, the car has been a pure joy!

  The true family hauler! - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By gandeesinla - September 14 - 6:17 pm

  With room for seven and nearly 500 hundred horsepower this wagon delivers a safe and fun experience for up to seven passengers. This car is very expensive new but is a serious piece of engineering. Its luxurious and fun to drive and looks subdued but sporty. Its a sleeper....

  Lovin it - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By CDI Impressed - August 25 - 8:43 am

  This is an amazing car. Luxury, power and economy. Our test drive sold us on the CDI. It was more powerful than an E320 gas model.

  Back in the Benz - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By BensBenz - August 7 - 6:26 pm

  After owning 5 Mercedes I opted for a change 3 years ago (Lexus GS430) as quality issues plaqued the brand. I have just brought myself back into the Mercedes fold and I must say..this vehicle is AWESOME!! Performance, fit and finish, styling is perfect. The car is solid, comfortable and fun to drive. This car is a KEEPER!
