Overview & Reviews

A favorite in the midsize luxury car class, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has provided an appealing mix of comfort, performance and safety for decades. The trademark qualities of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, such as vaultlike solidity and cutting-edge technology, have also contributed to the E-Class' great popularity among luxury buyers.

Over the years, the E-Class has been offered as a sedan, wagon, coupe and convertible. Contemporary E-Class models come loaded with luxury features and offer stunning acceleration in higher trim levels, with diesel power available if you want to maximize your fuel economy. The E-Class has never been the sportiest car in its segment, but its handling has improved significantly in recent years. Rivals are better in certain respects, but if you're looking for the complete package in a medium-size luxury car, an E-Class will be hard to beat.

  Great car overall - 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By NIckP - July 28 - 4:33 am

  Bought this car with 50K on it, now have 62K. Excellent to drive, great highway cruiser. Has had some odd ball repairs that added up to about $1200. but a lot less than a car payment.Full inspection by dealer just came out perfect with ball joints due in about 10K miles.

  Best of series - 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By David - July 21 - 8:50 am

  I have owned several Mercedes, most recently C280 and then an E320. The E350 4-matic is the run away best. From the outset, it has a better ride, firmer integrity, and high comfort. In some ways it has moved closer to S-class feel and ride -- not all the way. The interior seems much roomier than my previous 2003 E320, even though the specs are only a bit roomier. The additional of 4-matic has been awesome (for me in the Midwest), comparable to the moving power of my spouses ML in snowy conditions. I look forward to trips -- I added iPod integration and the sound is totally amazing resembling fixed speakers. Sound far exceeds radio/satellite radio. iPod control on wheel is a bit tricky.

  Has all the power you could want and transfers it to the pavement well. Absolutely no mechanical problems in nearly 2 years.

  BMW Fan Get His Mercedes - 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By HiHoMike - July 15 - 3:16 am

  Ive owned 7 BMW 5 series vehicles. The last one I had was a 535i, but it rode so badly and had many problems When I got my new E350, I was really surprised. I got the Sport Package, which stiffens the ride a bit, but not as harsh as the BMW. Ive only had it for a week or so, but fuel economy is good (not great) and the handling is stupendous for a Benz. I only hope I dont have problems with this E350 as I see many people have had some problems, but cant be as bad as the BMW535i.

  Ticky tack - 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By BllyG - July 15 - 1:06 am

  Bought car and afterward had knee surgery. Only 250 mi Ive put on car, but, garage door opening buttons on rear view mirror receded and unit had to be replaced. Rained on way to dealer and had clicking/sticking noise from wipers; fix - they had been installed backwards. Have replaced air filters w/K&N; going on long trip and soon and hope to see improvement on gas mileage.

  Luxury feels good - 2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By ctwinters - July 14 - 1:00 pm

  In rural CT the roads are slippery in the winter making 4wd a must. After test driving the Acura RL, Audi A6, BMW 540xi, Infiniti M35 awd and Lexus gs350 awd, I decided on the Mercedes E350 4matic. The Japanese have better electronics, the BMW cornered the best, the Audi was attractive and competent, but the Mercedes looked and drove like a true luxury car with 4wd. Its a pleasure to drive.

  2005 Mercedes Benz E320 - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Steve Lippert - July 14 - 2:33 am

  This is my 4th Mercedes, and by far the very best Ive ever owned. Comfort beyond expectations, styling in and outside the cabin is fantastic...a real head turner! This car is rock solid, regardless of the road. It never leaves me feeling like Im not in total control. Performs without flaws. A real touring sedan.

  A good year so far - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By gmac - July 13 - 9:30 pm

  Bought car used with 5k with xenon, parktonic, & panoramic roof - three great options! The brake pump is very annoying as it cycles on and off. Base stereo much better than anticipated. Averaging 21 mpg which seems reasonable. Would have preferred used low mileage S class but my boss owns one. 2007 S Class scary in terms of long term maintenance. Best to lease I guess.

  BEST CAR EVER OWNED - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By RMEN - July 13 - 2:43 am

  I bought it with 4k miles on it. It has been a real joy driving and owing this car. Luxurious and powerful. I get a lot of compliments from people when they see the Panoramic sun roof.
