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.

  Amazing Drive - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Mani - February 4 - 12:13 am

  I have never gotten into a sedan and had this much fun driving it. This car combines luxury and sporty into the perfect blend. I would have never imagined paying this much for any car I would buy, but it is worth every cent. The 3 suspension settings give great control over your ride. The power is more than I will ever need (Got up to a 100 mph in a few sec. the other day without realizing it.) The fuel economy is pretty bad, but what do you expect from a car of this size with AWD and a V8. The transmission on this car is so smooth that I never know when it shifts gears. Finally, the luxury features are amazing. I highly recommend it, if you want to spend in this price range.

  Still fast and a headturner after 4 yrs. - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Ernest C - January 31 - 2:10 am

  After leasing my 2005 E500, I decided to keep it. And I dont regret it. I love this car! Its black with chrome wheels and gets a lot of attention. I have not had any major problems. Other than the scheduled maintenance, I took it in for an AC glitch. I love the luxury equipments that came standard. From the GPS and satellite to the pulsating seats and xenon headlamps. And this bad boy gets excellent gas mileage. I averaged 29.6 mpg on the highway last month, on a trip to San Francisco. City epa averages around 18- 20 mpg. Ill be keeping this till the next E Class comes out.

  The Car I Always Wanted - 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By SLCFBP - January 30 - 10:36 am

  I bought my first MB, the 350 AWD, fully loaded, in Nov. 2007. I have now driven 6K and nothing about this car has disappointed. I have not had a single problem or needed to take it in other than for the 1K complimentary check. Everything works, everything fits. I for one find the oft critisized Command system just fine though the GPS in my part of world (Southwest) seems to lose mapping capability much more than my wifes GPS in her Highlander. The MB is a dream on the long stretches, has the best soundproofing & a perfect stereo to match of any car I have owned. I have truly found the car of my dreams - I may never change brands again.

  Best Car in its class - 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By PLaw - January 28 - 10:06 pm

  I was trying to decide between the Lexus, BMW. I hadnt really ever considered buying a MB until I test drove the new E550. WOW! This is by far the best driving car in its class. In my opinion, its a significantly better vehicle than the 5-series or the Lexus equivalent. Not to mention the fact that you can get the all wheel drive feature in the E550. Great performance and good in the snow! Perfect for me here in CO. Take one out and drive it. You wont be disappointed.

  The Last Days of Mercedes - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Richard E. Savoy - January 28 - 2:03 am

  The E350 is chintzy. It manfiests the dreadful consequences of the abominable decision MB made in the early 1990s consciously to debase the quality of the fine automobiles on whose splendid engineering and construction MBs century-old reputation had been built. Those of us who knew the quality that once epitomized MB can tell the difference with but a moments inpsection. The car has 2 batteries to support needless electronic junk; one battery has already failed. There is a bicycle spare tire. The barely used radio produces an echo sounding like crows cawing in the background. Just touching the "bumper" to a sleeping cat can cost $300. The Mercedes Benz we knew belongs to the ages.

  wait for 2004 - 2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By tom bouquet - January 27 - 10:00 am

  Wait for Mercedes to work out the bugs. As of March 2003, Mercedes was unable to install the navigation system, voice activated telephone, or massage seating they had advertised. (Mercedes is buying back some of these cars, but only if customers pre-paid for the features.) I had problems with my radio and dash lighting; the shop said this was "common."
