This car is powerful and handles extremely well. It is great in the winter.
I like that it's all wheel drive for the winters. I like that it has a powerful engine yet it is a quiet ride. I like how simple and luxurious the interior is. The only dislike i have is the poor gas mileage.

The Mercedes Benz e320 is top of the line.
My Mercedes Benz e320 CD is a great car. It gets about 25-38 mpg. It is a well made sturdy car. I love all the extras that come on the car like sunroof, back window sunscreen, electric windows and seats. The leather seats are beautiful and very comfortable.

It runs well and is very responsive on the road.
Works fine almost every day and gets good mileage on diesel fuel.

The best Benz ever one should own.
Very reliable solid pleasure to drive had many cars but nothing like a Benz. I strongly recommend low maintenance. Service once a year or 13, 000 miles whichever comes first. Still original shocks and exhaust. Just tires brakes and oil changes have been done.

My vehicle is perfect and it works really well
I don't have any complaints about my vehicle. It can go really fast in a matter of seconds, the seats are really comfortable, and when I drive it I feel like I'm floating. I had only one problem with it and it's that my tire exploded when I was driving in the middle of the freeway. I drive a lot of hours every day and I think the car that I have is perfect for the job!

Although my car is thirteen years old, it is still a very stylish car.
I like that it has a lot of options that are standard.I like that my vehicle is durable but I don't like the cost of repairs.

Practical vs. Economical do you really need a luxury car?
I love the look of my car. Gas saving is not the greatest when driving through residential. Highway mileage is better. The cost of maintaining this vehicle is costly. I am a single mother and the upkeep is very expensive. Comfort level is very nice. The features are dated but still rides nice.

accountCircle Peggy D on March 24, 2021
I drove 2018 Mercedes for 2 days & I like my car better than the new Mercedes.
I love the car for comfort and driving ease. I have had many repairs in the last three years. The front suspension went out and then the rear suspension, each time approx. $2, 000. The breaks went out and also cost approx. $2, 000; however, recently received an extended warranty on the breaks and Mercedes will reimburse a portion of the expense if they have already been repaired. I have filed for the refund. 188k miles on the car.
