Overview & Reviews

Though it might not look different, the E-Class receives a substantial freshening for 2000, with an entirely new front end and a revised interior. Stability control, a Touch Shift automanual transmission, and side airbags for all outboard seating positions are now standard. A multifunction steering wheel debuts, and E430 models can be equipped with 4matic all-wheel drive. TeleAid, a cellular emergency service, is standard and the confounding COMAND system is optional. For 2000, free maintenance is provided for the duration of the warranty period. The E300 turbodiesel model has been dropped. Other changes are limited to minor cosmetic and functional upgrades.

• Distinctive good looks, lots of standard and optional safety equipment, free maintenance for duration of warranty, available all-wheel drive, refined powertrains, rock-solid engineering.

• Stately rather than sporty, gimmicky COMAND system option.

  Engineered like no other car... - 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By vinsonphd - December 27 - 10:00 am

  Ive enjoyed my E430 from day one. I purchased it in Washington then drove to California later that year. I also drove it from Los Angeles to North Carolina and it was such a fun drive. I drove alone yet felt just as safe in the deserts of New Mexico as I did right here at home in Los Angeles. The car is very fun to drive and really is a superb automobile.

  Mixed Bag of Tricks & Treats - 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Calvin Lee - November 30 - 5:13 pm

  Our 2000 Desert Silver E320 is great fun to drive. It is a wolf in sheeps clothing. When driven easily, it is quiet & dignified. However, stomp on the gas or use the manual-shift feature & the car takes off like a rocket. Handling is also superb. Interior design is traditional Mercedes and looks like a million bucks as does the exterior (particularly the front-end). While the powertrain & cosmetics are first- rate, the electronics need much improvement in the way of reliability. Most recently, the CD player has stopped working. The radio unit thinks that the CD magazine is empty when it is full. Result? CD player inoperative. The 2003 E-class does not look as good (inside & out). Great car.

  Drives as good as it looks - 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By E Par - July 21 - 10:00 am

  Fell in love with the look of the car. Highway driving is a real pleasure. The car is smooth, comfortable, very fast and I get up to a suprising 30 miles per gallon. City driving is great, too, due to the comfort of the car. The only thing I dont like are the cup holders. They are not sturdy enough and the secondary holder is not big enough of the traditional large drink you get from fast food restaurants.

  A++ Super Car - 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By 2000E430Sport - May 4 - 2:00 am

  I got my E430 Sport for my wife for Valentine. We had put over 6K miles on the vehicle without any issues. I love the interior and I still have heads turn as I drive for the weekend. The power of the V-8 is excellent. I wish it could respond faster in auto mode, I have to shift if I want to run a little faster hihi. The car is ROCK SOLID at 100+ MPH. Looking forward to more pleasure date with the car. Only oil is Mobil1 syntec, could be costly, but the end resolve is

  Great car love the design. Customer service has a lot to be desired (BAYSIDE dealership very shoddy at best). A good bang for the buck. Bought car certified and saved about $10000.

  E-320 review - 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By tgstratton - June 17 - 10:00 am

  Have really enjoyed this car! A few problems with electronics that were promptly taken care of by the dealer. Very solid body, very good gas milage, excellent handling, braking etc. Excellent combination of performance while at same time very good economy. Will be on my "list" for consideration of a replacement car in the coming year.
