  • Bad transmission for 2006 4matic - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    My 06 is currently under MB Manufactures warrantee and I have been fighting with MB to replace my faulty transmission. At 28 mph, it skips. MB tells me there is nothing wrong and this is normal performance!!!! I am filing complaints with every agency. I paid an extra $2k for my extended warrantee when I bought my certified used MB and MB will not fix this!!!! I would NEVER buy this car!!!!!

  • Lemon - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

    Great looking car, but one of the worst I have owned as far as reliability and quality. In six months, this car has been in the shop 6 times, burning oil, engine replaced, air bag malfuncation, etc. This car makes we wish I had bought the ACURA RL.....no wonder the Mercedes CEO was fired...go elsewhere for quality.

  • AMG E-55 Hold on tight - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    This is my 3rd AMG E-55. This has the most powerful engine 469 HP, 575 torque. Love the dynamic seats. They inflate to keep you centered when youre making sharp turns. This baby accelerates 0-60 in 4.5 sec. Jump on the freeway and leave em in the dust. This kind of performance and handling from a 4 door sedan (Stealth) most people dont have a clue what this car is capable of. Keep it under wraps so the showboats dont ruin it :) It is quick, powerful and agile with luxury comforts and gadgets.

  • Love this car! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

    This car drives like it is on air. Ride is very smooth and extremely quiet. Handles beautifully. Great safety features. Accelerates quickly and steadily.

  • An Excellent Car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    The E320 CDI is top notch and well worth the 50G+ price tag. Acceleration is smooth and effortless, the interior is attractive, quiet, and comfortable. It is literally a pleasure to drive back and forth to work. If the power, ride, and handling dont lift your spirits, the sound system surely will. This car has become my private decompression chamber. I look forward to driving it each and every day. It has that quality of ride and handling only the Germans seem able to pull off - firm yet compliant, and tight yet not punishing or noisy. Its as though the bad elements arising from the road are edited out, yet youre still left with outstanding feel and handling.

  • great car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    The best E class ever made. It has a look of the S class and drives great with added horse power!

  • A really advanced car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Looked at all the Japanese cars like Acura RL and Infiniti M35. The E350, at first, seemed much less featured. This turns out not to be true. the car may lack voice activated features but it has everything else. Love the cruise control which actually brakes the car when you slow the car down. Would highly recommend the car.

  • Schallers E350 Review - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I bought this vehicle, having owned a 2003 BMW 530i which I loved. My wife loved the MB even more so I purchased it for her. Ive come to like the MB even more than the BMW primarily because it feels more refined. Even the passenger compartment, although not much larger than the BMW, feels significantly larger. I still think the BMW handles better but the MB is no slouch. I do wish MB had the same no cost (for 4 years) maintenance package the BMW came with. In closing, I would buy the vehicle again!

  • My second new turbo diesel - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    My previous E-300 (99) was driven 87000 relatively perfect except for a ew electrical glitches and bad window carriage interior hardware. This CDI model gets better fuel mileage, is quieter and is more comfortable. All over Id rate it a 9.8. I wish it had 4- matic, but I was told that it was not available in the CDI model. The worse single feature is the radio/cd which cant hold a candle to the system in my 1999 model. Kardon vs Bose...

  • Oil pump problems - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Listen in the morning at start up for a whining noise. it is the oil Pump because very few mechanics change the front of the trans oil, there are two oil plug for the transmission. Mercedes will replace the oil pump even the vehicle is out of warranty because they know there is a problem . 06 and 07 E350 .
