2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Reviews

Bought my car as a CPO in 2015 with 23k miles on it. I love my car. It now has 102k miles and looks almost new. Wonderful ride, comfortable, great performance, the 4Matic handles beautifully in the snow - it's garage kept and well cared for, so I expect it would last another 100k if I wanted it to. I have only one complaint - the low profile tires. Living in NY where potholes are prevalent, I have blown out at least 10 tires, sometimes with rim damage. Rating would be 5-star if not for that.

I am in love with my car. I have had it for going on 6 years now and it has never failed me. The technology is surprisingly modern and advanced even though it was made in 2012. The black metallic color and sleek outside design makes it a beauty to see. The interior black leather seats and wooden platform provide passengers a comfortable and sleek ride. Some features show how many miles are available at the current gallon, tire pressure for each tire, access to Bluetooth, and satellite radio. For a reasonable price, I would buy this car a thousand times over.

The e63 AMG is a beast in a tuxedo, especially with the performance package. I opted for carbon ceramic brakes. I do not think that I would want to drive the car without the extra stopping power of those brakes. Yes, they are expensive to service but you're going to get about 100k miles out of the rotors if you only do a couple track days per year. Daily driving should easily get you to 100k before replacement. Consider that replacement of the steel rotors is around $5k and you are going to do that at least four times within 100k miles, the carbon ceramic are no more expensive. I highly recommend Michelin pilot super sports for your tires. You're going to play hell getting anything else to hook up off the line. The pss will spin but not nearly as bad as conti sports. Be prepared to shell out twice the price for parts that are common across all e class vehicles. Once mb adds -AMG to the part name it gets a premium price. Is it worth it? Absolutely.

I have never had the first problem with the car, it gets great mileage. It has never stranded me, it is very comfortable to ride in and drive. The interior is beautiful with under mounted lights in the dash and doors. The sound system is excellent, the trunk has an opening into the car so you can put something long in the car to haul it. Or get air into the trunk. When you change the oil you have to add "blue" into a tank in the trunk because it is a diesel.

Love this car! The ride is smooth and quiet. Had to get use to having such a smooth ride, making sure to keep speed in check because the ride is so smooth it is hard to tell if you are going 60 mph or 90mph. First car I have owned with all wheel drive and I love it. Feel like the car performs better than 2-wheel drive cars. Handles beautifully. Breaks work great. Sense of security knowing that the basic frame of the car is very strong. If I were in an accident I feel like this car would provide outstanding protection. Interior is beautiful. Driver and passenger seats have multi directional adjustment buttons on the door. No longer have to reach down to the floorboard to change seat positions. Heated seats are great in winter. Heat goes up the back rest a bit too which feels nice on an aching back after a hard day at work. Large center console for all kinds of necessities. Front interior lights have multiple settings. Enjoy the reading light for passenger on long trips. Navigation system works great. Have used it for several trips to Florida and North Carolina but even for places around town. Sunroof is convenient for relaxing cool rides in summer. Entertainment system is great with the ability to play DVDs on the display. Sound system is the best I have ever had in an automobile. Trunk space is ample. Backseat is a little small. Have a teenage child and to fit three average size teens in the back it is snug. There is an air vent on the back of the center console allowing air flow directly to the back seat during hot and cold weather. Backseat passengers do not have to wait for the air to drift back from the front to begin warming up/cooling off. Center console in the back that comes down as long as there are not three people in the backseat. Has storage in it and cup holders for passengers. Exterior of the car is sleek. Beautiful design. My car is 8 years old and I have had no major problems. Basic maintenance. Although, I have had three tires needing replaced because of broken rods in the tire. From the research I have done rods should not break that often in tires.

I love my Mercedes Benz E-Class. I purchased my car as a certified, pre-owned vehicle in 2017, and I have not looked back since. This is my second MB and, as far as I am concerned, they just keep getting better and better. The ride is as smooth as a hot knife slicing through butter! I can select from either the Economy drive style or the Sport. I fluctuate between the two depending on where I am, city or highway and the H-Ps never fail to amaze me. The car is reliable and just a joy to drive. I not only have cooling and heated front & passenger seats, but my driver's seat also has the massage and vibrating mechanism. It truly is a great car. My only con about it is the cost of maintenance, but I have found a fantastic automotive shop that repairs MBs and they are very reasonable, which is much needed now that the warranty has expired. Do yourself a favor and give one a test drive. You'll love it!
