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

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

  Panzer - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By ME - July 17 - 6:36 pm

  The CDI has become r fave car vs 300 hp CLK V8 coupe and ML SUV Roomy, comfortable almost 2 ton panzer should be safer in collision as mass & room inside to decelerate vitals before contacting int. surfaces. Get heated seats - great for sore back & xenons really lite your way. Trip computer reads 32.0 mpg 4 the last 16457 miles! I never reset it, but they do reset at the various required MB services (battery disconnected?) Torque is incredible, this is a 5 sp auto with inline 6 turbo, a bit of lag, but u get used to it. If you are looking for a diesel for your own homemade biofuel, get inline 6 as unlike the new V6 diesel (2007 and up) the MB mech says inline can run on it with mods. Has been very reliable

  CDI is way to go - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By losarkos - May 9 - 3:56 am

  The CDI at 34 mpg on my last 3600 mile road trip cant be beat. I do miss a middle armrest but the distronic seats make up for it. The car is fast. I do find the Harmon Kardon radio a tad less bass capable than I like

  Performance & 40mpg. Amazing CDI E320 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Tampa MB owner - March 13 - 12:33 pm

  An outstanding combination of class, performance, and economy! The E320 CDI has it all. The vehicle is a pleasure to drive. It produces massive torque at below 2000 rpm giving the sense of tremendous acceleration with almost no lag. Cruising with this vehicle at 75-80mph provides a solid feel of the road while producing almost 40mpg. The car loafs along at this speed and you can cruise for 3-4 hours at a time without tiring. The car handles well on country roads as well as interstates. While not a roadster, the car easily handles most curvey roads well. Better handling can be had if you install higher performance tires versus those the car is shipped with.

  First Mercedes-Benz - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Alex - March 5 - 2:20 am

  Im used to the comfortable hohum driving experieces of Japanese cars. For a long time Ive driven Lexus, but decided I wanted something fun to drive, comfortable, safe, and powerful. This car fit the description almost perfectly. I got the AWD model for Connecticuts uncertain winters. The car begs to be driven fast. You can fine tune your suspension from comfort to sport which ever you desire. A deterent for German cars seem to be its terrible reliability, so far nothing yet! Well see how the rest of the year progesses. Its nice to have the only one , the car turns heads all over. The vehicle was equipped with the premium and appearance packages, electric trunk closer, wood steering wheel, and voice control.

  By Anna Fortner - February 15 - 4:23 pm

  I love my E 350 Benz! Its not just a car, its an experience...every day! I look forward to the time I spend in it as it lends an escape to comfort. And when youre talking about performance...as far as Im concerned the "E" stands for excellence!

  E350 review - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By cerp - January 15 - 9:03 am

  Overall very good car. But has some quality issues that I would not expect in a $50k car. Driver seat squeaks (had to take twice to dealership), screws in plate holder became loose. A/C is noisy, fan in auto mode seems stuck in position 5. Had it checked, MB said it was normal. Other than that, is it a comformtable sedan with a spacious trunk. Engine is powerful with great gas mileage. You can easily get 26 MPG in freeway driving.

  Beautiful Car! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By EBolgiano - December 22 - 1:56 pm

  This is my first Mercedes and it is everything I had expected and then some. The car is a pure pleasure to drive, fuel mileage is great, interior is comfortable, and the straight 6 cast iron engine should last for many miles.

  Consumer Reports was right - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Vdub - December 14 - 7:33 am

  We were undecided between Lexus and MB,decided to go with an e350 with only 17000 miles. This car has the smoothest ride of any vehicle weve owned, including BMW. The problem has been with reliability-my car has been in the shop 5 times,I am currently in a loaner. Ranging from minor electrical problems to motor mounts. I am officially done! The dealership has been great and everything is under warranty. My wife is reluctant to get rid of the car because of the ride and appearance but this car has consumed to much of time!

  So far so good. We only have about 200 miles so far but a great lease price compared others in the category.
