A smooth drive you will not regret.
My Mercedes has heated seats in the front. A nice surround sound for music. The notifications on the dashboard are accurate relating to check your breaks or fuel level low or need to check rear light bulb. It is never been in a car crash. It has not broken down and it already has good mileage to the gallon.
accountCircle Phyllis S
That it's good on gas mileage.
I like the look, the ease in driving it. I feel safe in this car, it was well built. My Benz is a joy to drive. Plus it tells you when something needs to be repaired. Warning signs.
accountCircle Agim F
It is an amazing machine. Nothing like it.
It moves. I love the suspension and how it drives. I cannot compare any car like it. I tried BMW and although it cuts better than my car. The e class performance is way better. I never had any problems with the car. Just changed tires and oil change. It still holds a value very high and it is a must have for car enthusiasts.

E-350 a car that stands the test of time.
I have had virtually no issues with my car. It is been extremely reliable and has some of the best gas mileage of any car I have ever owned. It's very comfortable and easy to drive. The electronics are a bit dated now but are still very functional. Overall it is the best car I have ever owned by a long shot.

If you want a luxury car, I recommend the Mercedes E class!
My Mercedes has such a smooth ride. The interior is comfortable and I love that the exterior is classic and doesn't seem to go out of style. My only complaint is the repair and upkeep is expensive.

Problems with Mercedes Benz
I love my car however I have been having problems with the panoramic roof closing. I think the motor is sticking.
accountCircle James L
The ride is comfortable, and because it's a reputable brand, should last a reasonably long period of time.
Really like the wood trim and the interior of my car, it is better than a few of the other luxury car brands. The vehicle handles smoothly, comfortable rides. The car has not given me any major mechanical problems so far.
accountCircle Mi H
Easy to handle. All knobs and buttons are easy to reach.
No problem with the automobile. I am very satisfied with the automobile and plan to buy another of the same. The automobile is very comfortable. The gas mileage is within reason. The performance of the automobile is what you would expect from a sports car.

Do NOT purchase a used Mercedes without written service guarantee!
Every small issue requires a hugely expensive fix. Mercedes mechanics are difficult to find and the dealership is horrendous!
accountCircle Pam K
Minor Flaws that are annoying but not a deal breaker
Compared to a Lexus the Benz is not a quality vehicle is not very sturdy. I have had several minor problems.
accountCircle Brian Y
Great car with terrible suspension.
Great, fast powerful car, but the aromatic suspension has been an absolute nightmare. I have spent at least 100% of the value of the car on just new airmatic struts and computer issues. If the car had spring suspension, it would be the best vehicle ever.
accountCircle Mary N
You need to know what exactly your gas mileage would be.
It is very nice. It has a great way to get around and still be stylish
accountCircle Rene N
The vehicle is a beauty, at times.
Air struts have been a problem..Oil leakage. The car is definitely comfortable. I like the heated and cooling seat features, I like the push to start option and the fact it is a v8 gives it that awesome pick up. The 4matic makes it great in the snow and the handling is 2nd to none.

Very big space inside for families.
I loved how big the trunk is. I needed a bigger car for my newborn and now I am able to fit everything. There is enough space for the car seat and for people to ride in the back seat without feeling squeezed. I just love the space that it has without having to be driving around in a minivan.
accountCircle Gab R on May 6, 2021
Would recommend this vehicle.
I haven't had any issues with reliability thus far. I purchased the car used and have had it for a couple years now, haven't had to have any repairs done. It has some great features (anti-drowsiness assist, convenient tire pressure checking, etc.). My only issue has been the leather seats which just attract every bit of heat possible during the summer and turn my car into a furnace.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Sam C.

Fun to drive and tons of safety features. Does great in snow and accelerates quickly. All wheel drive. Keyless entry and touch start is great and a lifesaver when you have a baby and dog and a million bags.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Sam C.

It is small. Which is good and bad. If you have 2 car seats it is pretty crammed up front and no one fits in between. It is nice for parking but hard for big shopping trips or roads trips when you need Storage and room.
