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.

  Tire Problems - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By rassr - June 6 - 6:03 am

  This is a fine vehicle, overall, a joy to drive and comfortable. But the tires that came with it, Continental ContiTouring Contacts are clearly substandard for this vehicle. With only 7000 miles the rear tires were nearly ready for replacement. The front tires might have lasted another 4 to 5 thou. I replaced them with Bridgestone Potenza G008 tires and notice no difference in ride quality or noise. No satisfaction whatever from MB of North America, kind of a "take it and stuff it" attitude.

  Exotic 4 Door - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Greek Boy - May 11 - 2:00 am

  AWESOME car. This car pulls hard like my 2001 911 TT. Exotic performance that fits 5 people with luggage. Love this car since it looks like a regular MB to most people.

  Worst Decision of my life - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Bob lugn - March 25 - 10:00 am

  I just came out of a BMW 540i and after 3 months with this car its been in the shops so much the coffee guy knows me. Drive is nothing like a BMW, leather is soft and has some nice features but who cares. So does my daughters HONDA!!!

  Awesome E55 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By hanconone - March 24 - 2:00 am

  I first drove this car at the AMG challenge at Daytona last May. It was an 8 hour opportunity to try (beat on) all the AMG models. With pro drivers riding shotgun we took these cars to the limit. From the SLK55 to the big S55 the available power and superb handling was like nothing Id ever experienced before. I decided the E55 AMG was the one for me and I couldnt be happier. I find excuses to drive it. I even drove from NH to Florida and back for fun and a little golf, and if my wife would let me Id go to California. If you are looking for high performance with versatility and all the creature comforts, Mercedes-Benz AMG vehicles cant be beat.

  Beautiful Car! - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By gurudev - March 18 - 10:00 am

  Picked up my E320 4Matic a few days ago. My wife and I fell in love with the car when we first saw it at the dealership and we still feel the same after having gotten the car. It handles beautifully and the interior is really comfortable. The styling of the car still gives me goosebumps. Our dealer installed NAV system did not work right so the salesman came and picked up the car, took it to their repair deptt, fixed it and dropped the car off 2 hours later. MB service is terrific.

  Superior built Automobile - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By bryant - March 18 - 10:00 am

  Purchased a 2005 E320 CDI (Diesel) "WOW" you have to drive this vehicle to really understand the quality. 27 miles in city & 37 miles highway. Do not sound or drive like a diesel. Excellent new technology. Plenty of power when you need it, 0-60 in 6.7 seconds. This car is fun to drive, plus the cost of fuel is very inexpensive, in Georgia $1.59. Purchased a diesel engine that sound and drive like a gasoline engine

  2004 E320 SPORT - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Vladimir Isov - March 10 - 4:30 pm

  I left a review here in March of 2008 when I first bought my Mercedes-Benz. All I have to say is after two years and 28,000 miles I have NOT been left on the side of the road, not even close. All I do is follow the maintenance schedule (the cars computer tells U exactly when to take her in for her maintenance) and put high octane petrol - thats it. By the way, I would take it only to a dealer with CERTIFIED technicians. Also, have a low deductible on your auto insurance. I had a "fender-bender" which cost $11,000 to repair. I know, its crazy, right? You gotta love MB.

  great car, poorly built - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By lnghrn17 - January 24 - 4:40 am

  love the ride, handling, features, styling, etc. this is my first european sedan-- friends warned me about quality problems but i bought it anyway because i really liked the overall vehicle ride and impression. however, its been recalled twice and the rocker arms need to be replaced. all this at 20,000 mi. mb needs to get its act together on build quality! if i were not now gunshy about quality/reliability, i d have almost nothing but good things to say. only complaints about performance and design are power/acceleration and the cupholders-- agree with other reviewers they are a little hokey.

  My 2003 E320 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Jim - Hollywood, FL - January 4 - 2:00 am

  The ride and overall performance are excellent. Have had some problems with the stereo, they have a computer glitch that they are correcting, had to install a new system in my car. The dealership had been fantastic, go out of their way to accomodate you in every way they can.
