Overview & Reviews

For 2004, the E-Class wagon benefits from the same full redesign the sedan received last year. A V8-powered version of the wagon is available this year and the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is optional on both sedans and wagons. Finally, the DVD-based navigation system, which was delayed for 2003, is on the options list this year.

• Sleek and dignified design inside and out, pleasing blend of ride and handling, sophisticated safety features, all-wheel drive available on both sedans and wagons.

• More expensive than competitors, confusing control layout, brakes lack progressive feel.

  Excellent car - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Reader - October 29 - 2:00 am

  Ive bought this 2003 model to replace my 1989 Mercedes 240. The new model is a much better car in many ways, especially the exterior and interior design.

  Nice Car - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By JerryPdgtt - October 29 - 2:00 am

  I traded a 1997 5-Series BMW,which I enjoyed in every way. Looked at and drove the 2004 5-Series BMW and left the dealership with negative views on its appearance and interior features. I tried the E320, gave it the same drive and bought it on the spot. Both my wife and I are enjoying it. We have lost our thoughts of BMW for the time being.

  A Mind of its Own - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By X-TWA - September 22 - 2:00 am

  Was very excited for the new E320 to become available. That was the last excitement I experienced.First,imagine driving at around 10mph and having the transmission start fluctuating between 1st and 2nd gear causing the car to buck..service dept says that is normal ..second,imagine trying to simply accelerate slowly fwd after backing out of a parking space and there is delayed response and then the engine almost stalling....Service dept says this is normal..very disappointed with the entire Mercedes experience.Please get Volvo to bring back my S-70 "box" that I so loved for 8years+ (2cars). Mercedes and my E320 have " A Mind of its Own" !

  Mercedes E 500 4matic - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Ahad - August 19 - 3:06 pm

  The car is perfect. The car just goes once you put your foot on the gas. The GPS is amazing. The directions it gives you are way better than BMWs GPS system. Other features I like are distronic, its really helpful on a long drive.I also like the push button starter altough you could get mixed-up when changing the gears. Also the solar panels are great for hot days because when you leave the car outside for a long time the solar panel would use its energy to keep the car cool.

  Fun toy - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Tinku - July 31 - 10:00 am

  Had it for six months. Smooth accleration. Sped upto to 90 several times without realiing it.However, in the beginning it felt like I needed excess force on the accelerator (compared to my Camry). That problem seems to have gone.Love the voice activated telephone and CD changer.The telephone system is overpriced. Dealership people installing the phone system were not knowledgeable enough.

  Almost two months in..... - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Golfdog1 - July 31 - 10:00 am

  I have had my 2004 E-320 almost two months and it is running fine. I didnt get the $2000 phone. The folks at RBM said that I should be ok using my cell phone because others have used theirs and had no problem. Just got back from Savannah and the ride was great! A couple of glitches (1 the feature to open all windows and moon roof at once dosent allways work and 2) the passenger side mirror doesnt allways turn down to show the curb in reverse. No mechanical problems (knock on wood).

  2004 E55 Review - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By W210 - July 19 - 10:00 am

  An excellent choice for those interested in getting from point A to point B quickly and comfortably. The beauty is that the E55 looks just like any other E-class thus it is less likely you will be bothered by law enforcement officers. If you need to speed, you have so much torque and horsepower it is absolutely effortless. Add on top the safety, reliability and strong resale value, the package is hard to beat. The E55 proves that Mercedes is serious about getting back on track delivering well engineered cars with high quality finishing. Highly recommended.

  E500 4Matic Sedan - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By jhdevoy - June 23 - 2:00 am

  Phenomenal vehicle for those looking for a luxury sport sedan with a lot of power. Handles bumps and potholes much better than the equivalent BMW, and accelerates effortlessly in a straight line. However, if you live for taking sharp turns at 75 mph, this car doesnt come close to the BMWs Ive owned. The interior is impeccable. The seats are extremely comfortable and the audio system (base system) is fantastic. Integrated phone system is a must as you can bring your own wireless service (rather than paying $0.50 per minute through onstar or similar service). The trunk is HUGE and the exterior design is simply unbeatable.

  Never Buy Another One - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By jon - June 6 - 11:23 pm

  Mercedes has lost its quality of years past. I purchased my E500 and for two years had nothing but problems with it. After 60,000 miles and $10,000 in repairs I traded it in for a Lexus.
