  • First Class - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    This Mercedes E350AWD is true "class". We previously owned a BMW 5 series--- truly a great car, but, the Mercedes gives you the feel of more luxury.Yhe 6 cyl engine provides all the power youll ever need.The interior space is very generous, and the ride is great.

  • Family Wagon thats fun to drive! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    My MB E500 wagon is the first Mercedes that I have owned and I am in love with it after driving it for just over a year. I spend a lot of time driving my children around and it makes a difference to have such a comfortable interior. I live in Minnesota and my 4Matic drives great in the snow! Ive had just two problems: 1.A faulty transfer case which was replaced and fully covered under the warranty and 2. Poor tire wear which was also a warranty item and the tires were replaced.

  • Disappointment for the Price - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    This is my second E class, I had a 98 E320, wish I could get it back. The car is beautiful, rides nice. Radio and CD player failed in first month. Car has been in 4 times for transmission problems, every fix makes it worse. Avoid any Mercedes with the 7speed. My 84 Ford Tempo had a better quality transmission. Car slam shifts between gears. I had to stop drinking coffee on the way to work to stop the stains in the carpet from the spills the car jerks so hard when it shifts. We were about to buy my wife an R class until I found out it had the 7 speed. I am currently considering pursuing Lemon Law remedy. Oh by the way the car doesnt even come with all seasons, I had to spend $1,000 on snows.

  • The Reliabel E-350 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

    I am very satisfied with the performance of my Benz

  • First month - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Just the right size. Relaxed driving with a great engine and transmission combo. Great handling, not sporty but accurate and secure. Good fuel economy.

  • Comfortable ride - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    A pleasure to drive. The ride is smooth and soft. Engine is smooth and strong

  • Power and Comfort - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I recently drove this vehicle 1,000 miles in 48 hours -- arrived without the expected feeling of fatigue or weariness. Wonderful blend of power and comfort. Car feels as heavy as my previous S600 sedan but is far more agile and intuitive. Fit and finish are great but would like to see upgraded material on lower door panels, headliner and sun visors that is more appropriate to a car that listed at nearly $70K. No other complaints -- everything else about the car is first class -- especially like the airmatic suspension and Harmon Kardon sound system. A true wolf in sheeps clothing.

  • Good Value for Long Term Ownership - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I have covered 40,000 miles averaging 35 mpg . Handling , steering, suspension, excellent. Very comfortable ride. My only negative comment, no engine oil dipstick. Body panels good fit and finish excellent both inside & out. Very silent and very quick for a diesel

  • Geaux Mercedes! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I bought the car with 22,000 miles and now have 65,000 miles almost a year later. The only repair Ive made (under warranty) was some front end work. The diesel has returned 35 MPG total average in predominantly highway driving (150 miles/day). With the exception of the front end work, the vehicle has been flawless, even the electronics (which is surprising). Ive owned six Mercedes before, mostly diesels, and wholeheartedly recommend the brand, and particularly their diesels.

  • Dont Leave Home Without It! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Theres a flaw in the stats: mine gets MORE gas mileage: 45 mph. The car rides like a dream but maneuvers like a sports car. Quiet and powerful. I formerly owner a Mercedes diesel 70s model and the problems were: slower than a gas engine, smelly and noisy. Not now: the Turbo Diesel is super fast, doesnt smell, and is quiet as a church mouse. Listen to your doctor: Buy this car! Miami to Atlanta on 1 tank!
