The Mercedes-Benz E300D and E320 receive the driver-adaptable five-speed automatic transmission. The E-Class also has a smart sensor to determine if anyone is sitting in the passenger seat and to determine whether or not to deploy the airbag. The E420 can be had with a Sport Package.

• Beautiful nose, light-hearted design, rock-solid construction, and the panache of owning a Mercedes. What more could you want?

  Excellent Vehicle - 1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By - October 2 - 10:00 am

  This is the best car that I have ever owned! It is good to buy them 3 years used because of depreciation. The acceleration of the inline 6 is swift and smooth. Of course the reliability is top notch. The timing chain helps prolong the life of the motor. The build quality is unparalleled for a production car. I love the solid sounding "Thunk" when I shut the door. The interior is tastefully decorated and is extremely quiet. Other than that the car is perfect. It is a perfect blend of performance, style, class and luxury.

  Perfect for the aspiring VP - 1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Alex - August 31 - 6:13 pm

  I bought this car with 222,000 miles on it from a family friend. In 7 days, the radiator blew, but for 3 years after, now with 244,000 miles, the car drives beautifully. Comfort, handling, horsepower, and after tinting the windows, style. I plan to drive this car until it breaks down completely, overall it is a true gentlemans ride.

  Fantastic car - 1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By luckysharkey - February 8 - 2:31 am

  Just bought the car a week ago and I am very happy. Even with 275k miles on it, it still runs like new. 20 years later it still has more style then most cars going down the road. great gas millage as well, for a 90s car.

  Cant miss! - 1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Kingsley Chima - August 11 - 7:46 pm

  Bought this 97 model after crashing my wifes Altima, best thing to have happened! The wife thought it was too big, but she wouldnt let me use it now! Well built, luxurious and stately. People have a hard time believing it is 10 years old. No problems so far, but the fuel efficiency on premiun gas isnt great. Not complaining though

  Wonderful Car! - 1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By SweetLew - August 28 - 10:00 am

  I bought my E420 on December 26, 2002 with 18,106 miles on it. I have had NO Trouble Whatsoever. Everything works and works well. The car was like new inside and out and with 24,300 on the clock, it still is. I feel for those that got a bad one. On the other hand, I can hardly imagine a better car if you got a good one, as I did. I can hardly believe the soldity and smoothness of this machine. I would simply urge anyone in the market for one to scrutinize the car extensively BEFORE purchasing it.

  I will buy another - 1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By wideopenbite - March 29 - 10:00 am

  This is still perhaps the most eyecatching Mercedes model, along with the new SL. This car is smooth, quiet, reliable, and a real blast to drive on a long curvy country road. When the time comes, I will probably look to replace this car with a 2001 or 2002. The V-8 is definately the way to go.

  Long Legged Tourer - 1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By JeffG - September 18 - 10:00 am

  Even 5 years and 70k this car looks fresh and feels new - great power and a well-balanced solid chassis are certainly the high points of the car. Im still impressed by its capabilities and the outstanding build quality.
