  2002 Mercedes C-320 Wagon -37,000 miles - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Bill Gesham - November 16 - 9:36 am

  I purchased this Mercedes with 37,000 miles from a dealer whose wife had been driving it. Mileage is 21.5 to 28 MPG. It is a joy to drive on trips and around town as a daily driver. The sport package is worth the cost. It handles great. The 320 engine is strong and has good acceleration when passing or entering interstate on ramps. The car would be fun to drive with a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission. As it is, it is a sleeper and will jump any 3 series BMW. Room in the car is more than adequate with the storage space being a strong point. Interior is comfortable. The Bose audio system with the disc changer is a real value and is superb in sound and function. At $16,000 it was a great value.

  Elegance, power and prestige - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By MOISES MALOWANY - April 20 - 10:30 pm

  A great car to drive if you enjoy driving! Power all around. At start, when passing in tight driving areas, and superb handling. All at a very reasonable miles per gallon. Average city and highway about 21 mls/gl. One of the best Mercedes I ever drove.

  Capable family car - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Dan - February 11 - 9:26 am

  Plenty of passing power. Dont be fooled by the looks, this is not grandpas Mercedes. Great legroom. Mechanically reliable. I always have a smile driving this car, until its time to refill.

  Good:But Lexus is just as good. - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Kiknchikn - December 8 - 10:00 am

  Overall, the car is fun to drive and very comfortable. Performance is good and interior design is not bad. The front is very attractive but the rear I dont like as much. Looks too much like a box from behind.

  Very Good Car, Problem Free. - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By jason brasil - July 21 - 10:00 am

  great exterior design, extremely eye catching. people stood around my car and kept looking while i was not near the vehicle. very quiet and comfortable ride. i traded my Lexus for this. i never received any attention from the public with the Lexus. however, with this MB, young women came up to me and complimented how nice the vehicle is. in some of these occasions. on another occasion, a highway patrol (a lady) stopped me for speeding but instead of sending me a warning, she complimented the vehicle and told me the road was slippery and requested that i drive safe. this is some experience i never had. no wonder, they said driving is an experience.

  If you like the shop - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Not for me - June 26 - 3:10 pm

  Having always wanted a Mercedes. I finally poneyed up the money and purchased a used 320 with only 37K miles on it. Since then I have been on a first name basis with my service advisor as I am bringing the car back to the shop almost every other month for different problems. Here is what has broken so far. Interior visors, both left and right due to the mirror covers hinge breaking (not covered under extended warranty) Catalytic converter at 70K. Ball Joints at 78K. Windshield washer resevoir (not covered $230). Instrument lighting. Entire radio. Voltage regulator. Most of this would not have been covered if I hadnt purchased the extended warranty. Too much for me. Back to Lexus

  The E-Class - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Gloria Martin - February 1 - 10:00 am

  I enjoy driving my E-Class Sedan. When we drive through neighborhnoods with new homes people wave at us because in our Benz - they can tell that we really do belong there. If I park in front of a business and go in, I am shown much more respect than when we drove our Buick or Ford. I feel important when I drive our car. My only regret is that we cant afford the S-Class, Yet! Or that we may never be able to afford the Saloon!

  Could be Better - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By H. Baker - November 28 - 4:50 am

  The looks and lines of the car with the sport package is outstanding! The engine is peppy while not a gas hog. Steering is heavy at times in turns. The turning radius is great in tight spots. The ride has been disappointing for a luxury $50k+ car. Frankly, I have driven cars costing half as much that ride better on rough surfaces. The single wiper is an issue as it never seems to clear the windsshield very well. The ventilation never seems to adjust correctly. It blows cold air in the winter and warm air in the summer.

  Good Car - Could Use Some Improvements - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By JHas - November 8 - 2:00 am

  Had car for just under 2 years and 27000 miles. Love power/acceleration and AWD system (with Blizzak snow tires, car will go anywhere in any weather). No mechanical problems to date. Car is relatively anoymous and yet it commands a certain respect. Need improvement: 1. Front seats - in order to get lumbar support, had to order a special seat; worst drivers seat that I have ever experienced (and have had cars from many manufacturers including, Jaguar, Nissan, Saab, Mitubishi, VW) 2. Not having a separate dash insert to play a CD is ridiculous in a car costing this much
