Good gas mileage. It's a diesel engine, and gets 28 miles per gallon.
Like the style, comfort, low noise level. Dislike engine light coming on for insignificant reason which is too expensive to deal with.

Quality luxury sports cabriolet.
Left tire has slow leak otherwise performance is stellar. Leather luxury heated seats are one of the many perks along with beautifully designed dash and trim. Navigation system is used quite often and another favorite is the harmon kardon stereo system.

It has a Comfortable ride and sound system is fantastic
Very comfortable to drive for long periods of time. The sound system is fantastic but it disappoints in fuel economy.

Nothing like a Mercedes Benz. Mercedes for life!
Luxury at its best. Sporty and fast while giving you that quiet smooth ride. Reliable having only had to do preventative maintenance on the vehicle. Classic looks in the vehicle yet the sport mode and paddle shifters make it feel like a sports car. Love it!

Mercedes is the way to go.
I just bought a Mercedes and it is by far the most comfortable drive I have ever had. Very luxurious has a nice back up camera very well detailed vehicle I would tell a lot of people to purchase one. It is very well equipped with high end technology for a very smooth drive.

My experience with a 2011 Mercedes e350 BlueTEC.
My car gets the best mileage, 36 mpg in-town and 40 mpg out of town. My husband says that it has a gas fairy following it wherever we go. It is a good solid heavy car that is well built and it is easy to maintain. We have had very few issues with it, we only had to change the exhaust heater. It does not have a lot of cargo space and there is no spare tire on the car, so when you go on a trip you have to plan ahead. I have roadside assistance for the tires and we pack light. The vehicle has almost all the bells and whistles that you could ever ask for. Panoramic sunroof, beautiful leather seats, a killer stereo system, parking assist and it even has an alert on it if it thinks that you are getting tired while you drive (it starts ringing and asking if you are okay). The car has the economy and the sport package so you can choose your mode of driving for the day, or moment. It hugs the road when you take off fast which is really cool and then it just breaks free when it is ready to take off. I feel extremely safe in this vehicle and so does my family.

Best in class luxury vehicle.
An extremely reliable vehicle, truly a luxury sedan. I got my car serviced regularly and it did not give me any trouble even at over 150,000 miles. I am a big fan of Mercedes Benz. All the features within the car are great too. The suspension is amazing and the ride is always smooth.

The color is Diamond White. I have had no problems with it since I purchased it 8 yrs ago. I wish the radio volume went up to adjust to the wind noise when the top was down.
Mercedes is a reliable automobile & though it is more expensive it is worth it.

Check your Subframe for rust before buying
Have a Merc 2011 E350 and it is junk. I bought it 2014 certified and always serviced at the same dealership. I know you pay more at the dealership but man these guys nickel and dime you and find out the tech doesn't know enough about the car. And I am the poor sap who has to pay for it. Rusted through rear subframe and break lines. $4500 and counting..

Reliable, fast family car, comfortable, and gas efficient. .
The options on it are limited not as many as other luxury vehicles. Does through tires quickly. The leather is not good quality it start to split at 3 years old. I have had to replacement motherboard I'dash at 3 years also. It is fast, good gas mileage, and is pretty.

Class e-350 Mercedes Benz review.
Good running car, looks nice, seats are leather, if not taken care they will crack and the seams. Costly to fix but worth it. Reliable, decent on gas and miles per gallon. Kind of smaller in size so would not recommend for a family more than three.

Mercedes Benz e-350 pros and cons.
Kinda uncomfortable. Control system is moody. Very spacious. Big trunk. Nice interior and exterior. Very quick. Expensive gas. Premium fuel only. Leather seats rip easy. Cools off fast. Nice sunroof and windows. Nice seating adjustment. Ambient lighting is nice.

My wagon is spacious and sturdy. It gets about 30 mpg on the highway. I love the fact I can lay the back seats down and haul most anything i need to haul.
It is a reliable car but can be expensive to maintain.

I do not recall what I paid for the vehicle but I thought the value was good. My only complaint is about the Mercedes GPS system which is not good but it is that way in all Mercedes cars.
