It is extremely dependable.
I have no complaints. Very dependable, drives great, extremely comfortable. It looks great, even being an older car. I would buy another Mercedes in a heartbeat.

Overall, I love this car. It's very good and efficient
There's no problem with my vehicle as of right now. The car runs great. For gas you have to make sure you use a very good & efficient gas such as chevron. Sometimes the vehicle will show check engine quite often because the gas is running low. The car is very comfortable and very smooth while you drive. It's very good for long distance traveling if you decide to travel. The interior of the car is beautiful. It has marble features on the compartment and by the radio. The outside of the Mercedes E350 is white.

Comfortable, true luxury. Mercedes-Benz is the best.
It is the most comfortable car I have ever driven. Mercedes seems to have thought of everything in terms of both driver and passenger comfort. The windshield wipers adjust to the amount of rain automatically. The headlights come on automatically when the light level indicates. Everything is controlled electronically. There are no clicks of buttons, it's all smooth. There are memory settings for 3 people in both front seats. Rear seat passengers are comfortable as well.

Great dependable high tech vehicle for the model year.
Very smooth ride and very reliable vehicle. This vehicle has a sunroof, and has tpms sensors to let you know when your tire pressure is low. We also receive notifications to let us know when we need an oil change and when their are service calls needed on the car. We travel to Florida on one tank of gas because the highway miles are so great.

The most interesting detail of my car is the interior.
I really enjoy driving my vehicle because it looks good. It is silver in color, which is a color that does not show a lot of dirt, because I find that I do not have a lot of time to wash it, as I should. The only problem I have at the current time is with the shocks, we are getting ready to replace them. The previous owner had not replaced the shocks when we bought it. But the car drives well despite this fact. I find that it is very comfortable, it is suited to me. And there are so many features, some I probably have not even used. Mercedes-Benz is the top of the line as far as luxury goes. Most of the features for the audio are on the steering wheel, which makes it very easy to change the music you are listening to. This car is very reliable, and when I step on the accelerator, I do not have to worry about whether it is going to stop on me, it gets up and goes! The sound system is awesome, which makes you want to drive on and on, as you listen to the music. All in all, I have no problems with my vehicle, even though it is the age that it is.

The most important thing is that my car is small, but it is fast and sturdy.
My vehicle is a small, e-class Mercedes. I like the navigation system and the radio in the car. There is nothing about the car that I don't like.

Great car to drive, great, mpg. Very low cost of ownership because it was built so well.
My Mercedes is a 4 door sedan, that has a diesel engine. The diesel engine produces outstanding mpg results for a car with mine's weight. The engine also produces great 'ower" to allow for rapid acceleration. Finally, the car has had outstanding with minimal repairs required in 9 years of service for me.

It runs like brand new, no complaints!
I love my vehicle! The e class is the. Best version. I have owned my car for about one year now, and it is been running smoothly. I have absolutely no complaints. If you keep your oil fresh and look at the things wrong with the car, then I assure you that you'll love your car! Now I'll only buy Mercedes Benz!

Safe, Sturdy, and Sleek: Mercedes Benz
The car is very sturdy and feels safe to drive in. We've had the car between 5-10 years (bought it used) but are now having some issues with the engine.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Barbara H.

I have had no problems with this vehicle. It is easy to drive and has multiple safety features. Aside from routine maintenance, it has been reliable. Good car. Although it requires regular maintenance, this car is dependable. The ride is smooth, handles easily and is fun to drive.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Barbara H.

It can be expensive to repair. Gas requires high octane and parts are expensive. Care has to be taken to use specific products in order to maintain function. Without extended warranty it can get pricey to repair.

I purchased it at $50,000 in 2006. The value of not having to purchase another car in thirteen years outweighs the cost of repairing the items that have failed.
