  Bravo Diesel - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Jeff smith - July 20 - 10:56 pm

  I own both the BMW 5 series and this Mercedes 320 CDI. The Mercedes is so much more fun to drive! It has the power of a V8 yet sips fuel. The power matches the extra weight to give you the ride of a larger car. The leather seast are well made. The sound system is the best Ive seen in a Mercedes ever, remember Becker? This will be a great car for many years.

  By tom - June 26 - 3:36 am

  We previosly owned 4 MLs, but it was time for a change. The car is fun to drive. The car has plenty of pick up. The interior space is very generous and the ride is great

  Love it - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Rob - April 28 - 11:56 am

  This is my fourth Mercedes Benz car and by far the one I like most. I bought it for my wife as she wanted to downsize out of a Land Rover which was the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned (bought out of a lease 15 months ahead). The Mercedes has plenty of room for my three children and the best safety rating for a family sedan. We live in he north east so we opted for the 4- Matic AWD system. The overall look and feel of the car are fantastic. Plenty of power and a terrific ride quality and handling make it a pleasure to drive. The gas mileage is actually quite good for a large car with 270HP but and it is an enormous upgrade over the 9 MPG city we got in the truck.

  Frustrated long time MB owner! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Frank Wendt - March 19 - 7:53 am

  Three major problems resulting in overnite service: Emergency brake release came completely out of dashboard; could not move vehicle. Harness for seatbags defective and had to be replaced. Starter key went "dead" after 17,000 mi. Could not reset clock for daylight time, nor could three dealer service personnel! Confusing option "sets" on steering wheel. etc etc

  Transmission problems - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By huitz - March 6 - 12:10 pm

  Love the car except for the transmission. Rough downshifting. The dealer has put in tow new transmissions (three in total) and the problem persists. This is the seven speed transmission thats throughout the Mercedes line. Id stay away until they get it right. Were giving them back our car.

  A Moderately Good Vehicle - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Andy - March 1 - 8:56 am

  Bought used with 28k miles on it. Was all excited about getting this car, but excitement has worn off. Radio sounds good, but controls are poor. Knows nothing of folders on MP3 CDs. Too many button presses to get from Radio to CD to other. Defrost is annoying: full fan speed, highest temp, turns A/C on. Have to use MB phone, no BlueTooth. Engine is very good, powerful, economical, driving range is excellent (near 700 miles). Yet to see 40mpg like people claim, and I drive conservatively. Steering is soft/spongy. No Oil Dipstick?! Leather is good. Overall a good car, but I expected more from a company that charged $50k+ for this car when new.

  So far so good - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By William - January 25 - 7:46 pm

  Traded an 03 E320 for this 06 E320 CDI. The diesel is so quiet you dont know its there. Plenty of power and lots of nice features like nav system and Harmon-Kardon radio, rear sunshade. Better cupholder/center console layout than the 03. Only had it for two weeks but well pleased thus far.

  Happy! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By happy - October 18 - 9:46 am

  The greatest car on earth, really. I dont work for Mercedes-Benz, I am just a really pleased and happy owner. Have not had one problem even though I thought I would have many, but I was suprised. Some friends have an E- class, and they havent had any problems too!

  New E - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Glenn - August 1 - 7:33 pm

  This car was great from the start. The driving experience is best on the highway, as in city driving a driver might feel a bit disconnected from the road. Controls are easy to use while driving, although using my iPod proves a bit tricky to navigate through.

  My CDI - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Kevin Flanagan - June 27 - 7:16 pm

  I have owned diesels since 1977, starting with a 240 d. I managed to get a used (9000miles) CDI from my local dealer last month, they imported it from Ohio, because they cant sell diesels in Calif. The car is great except for the electronics. After having the car for only 2 weeks, the battery warning light came on, and it had to go back to the dealer because of a faulty sensor. We have had the same trouble with our 99 E430. Apart from this the car is great. Its difficult to get the 27 mpg in the city though
