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.

  pleased - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By kclark - August 21 - 10:00 am

  I bought used and this car has been exceptional. I love the styling, also size for for this class. Its has more legroom than comparable sedans. So far so good on repairs, at this point I would highly reccomend this model. If I had to repurchase today I would.

  2 in my garage - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By oldgitsalesp - August 20 - 5:33 am

  Having owned 7 MBZs in total, we have finally come to where I can say this is the real deal. I like them so much, that I have two of these in my garage. A 2002 and 2005 for me. Yes, we are blessed! High maintenance cost, brakes/tires, but a once in a lifetime thrill. Everbody checks it out.

  Very Happy to be BACK to MB - 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By tiger48 - August 16 - 12:35 pm

  After a long jouney through autoland, Im finally back to MB. And very pleased with the E350 4Matic. Ive driven the car for one year without any issues at all. The car operates in the snow like a Jeep and the Paddle shifters allow you to down shift in bad conditions. The car is fast enough for todays conjested road conditions with power to pass (and besides if I want speed Ill drive my Corvette).

  My First Benz - 1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By silverarrow - August 14 - 10:00 am

  I drove a 1977 Buick Regal for 17 years. Put 275000 miles on the original power train. That vehicle allowed me to save enough to purchase the car that I thought was a gorgeous automobile. Love this car. In the 5 years I have owned this automobile, I have lost a left rear window regulator ($100). BUT, if I had it to do over I would seriously look into an A6 (with an 8).

  Red E350 Cabriolet = Maximun FUN - 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By schnooky - August 12 - 10:00 am

  Ive only owned the car the past four days, and WOW, it is really FUN . Having owned many previous convertibles i.e. Valiant, Eldorado, Saab, MB SL-230; this one is the best. It is very smooth, even with the Sport Suspension and 18 inch low profile tires. I have been driving an 09 CLK 350 convertible lately, and this is so superior it is ridicules. Also my recent favorite has been my cousins 09 E-Bluetech, which is also so smooth, but the E350 cabriolet is even better.

  Glitches - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By MizzGayla - August 8 - 2:00 am

  This is a fabuluos reliable car. Its glitches are that it goes through lights quite often and the heating thermostat is never very good. You never know when your heater will freeze you or roast you. When its really cold, the heater is weak. Von Housen becomes less interested in your car care as the car ages.

  How could mercedes benz let this happen. - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Jack Dooley - August 8 - 2:00 am

  The only good thing about this car is the comfort factor. Everything else seems to be below average. I now know I would have been better off with a BMW, Lexus, or Acura. This will be the last MB for me. The build quality has dropped to much in recent years.

  Buyer Beware - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By chngr - August 8 - 2:00 am

  My 2004 E55 has been the worst car experience I have ever encoutered. On the day I took delivery, the Command system malfunctioned and stopped working. In addition, the rim was scratched and the homelink system was inoperative. It has been in the service department for a total of 2 weeks since I took delivery a month ago. MB USA has been totally unsympathetic and uncaring for a car that cost me $100k. I have left several customer concerns that were never followed up. My recommedation is to avoid this car and Mercedes Benz.

  Mecedes Getting It Right - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By D. Stumpf - August 7 - 3:56 am

  In spite of the negative press MB has received of late, I do think they are getting it right in the 2005 and 2006 model years. In particular I have nothing but praise for my trusty E320. This is my third MB (2nd in the last 3 years) and by far the best. In fact, I think it outshines anything in its class. I now have nearly 15,000 miles and my only service has been for scheduled maintenance. Its been a trusty vehicle for over a year now, and I would not own any other brand for this type of car. My only complaint (and this holds for the 2003 models as well) is extremely poor wear on OEM tires. I have over 45,000 miles on my 2004 Acura MDX with less apparant wear than the MB.
