• 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.

  2006 E350 First 90 Days - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By BradQ - May 8 - 6:30 am

  A very good car overall. Well built, great performance and amenities. Dealer service and interest in customer relations is also very good. My only complaint is that the software CD supplied with the navigation system has very limited coverage of the US outside of several major cities. It totally ignores such places as Wilmington, NC, Camp LeJeune Marine Base, and many other areas, limiting its functionality severly.

  New Mercedes diesel - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By John DuPlessis - May 3 - 6:00 pm

  I just bought the new E320 Bluetek. I replaced an E55 Kompressor, so the acceleration is down of course, the milage is double and power is enough. I drove last years 320 CDI, its straight 6 was a little less noisey, you can tell this is a diesel when idling. Overall a beautiful car.

  A fine luxury sedan like it should be - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Bill Staudt - April 25 - 2:20 pm

  Exterior Finish: Outstanding Performance: Excellent passing ability and on road performance is supberb. Interior: I especillay like the ultra quietness of the cabin and the comfort of the seats, a bit tight in the rear but the sculpted seats help my 6 foot 3 son find a comfortable space, quality workmanship and fine design (instruments and gadgets take a bit of practice) Engine: Ultra quiet and powerful, those few extra horses make the difference For the price, you have outstanding quality, power, performance, convenience, key safety features, security, electronic gadgetry that really works! A real driving/passenger pleaseing vehicle. An absolute winner and head turner. Thanks, MB

  Great car when not being repaired - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Tom - April 22 - 6:06 pm

  This is my first and last Mercedes. Ive owned this care for maybe seven weeks. In that time it has been in for repairs on three different occasions, because the engine light was on. It is still in the shop and has been for the last 15 days with no end in sight. Told it is a gas problem, then no compression in one cylinder, then cam shaft slipped causing scoring. They have no clue. I own a Mercedes and ride the bus.

  Best Diesel - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Gary - March 2 - 3:46 am

  Best diesel Ive owned. 750-800 miles to a tank. Great for a salesman, but wish the wagon was available.

  A Perfect Commuter - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Tom - February 28 - 12:20 am

  My commute is 60 miles of highway against the traffic flow and I fill this CDI up once every two weeks. My 2001 E320 required refill once per week. Composed and comfortable, the integrated iPod system is a delight. Seat comfort is much improved over older models. No clatter or smoke and plenty of low end torque when you apply the right foot. Most passengers wont know it is a diesel till you tell them.

  Happy New Owner - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Bode - January 10 - 3:16 pm

  Recently purchased. Car was built in Stuttgart (Sindelfingen) in April 05. The new M272 engine (3.5 ltr V6) is a dream. Together with the 7 speed auto gearbox it has power to spare at any speed. Fuel economy is also good, I guess the 7 speed auto gearbox is one of the mean reasons (at 70 mph only 2100 rpm...) It also has the appearance package with airmatic DC suspension. On the roads around Houston with a lot of uneven road surfaces it just swollows it with ease, while giving excellent cornering capability due to the dynamic control. Really do not need to buy the E500, this car has it all, a dream to drive. This car was built by engineers who succeeded in building one of the finest cars around.
