Reverse camera and sport function eco.

No problems. Car rides well low maintenance repairs as longs you follow recommended repairs. Good on gas with ecosystem and great stereo sound.

Sv S

It is the quietest car I've ever owned.

It is luxury. It runs well. It has heated seats and a sunroof. I like that it is a sedan and not a SUV.

nancy b

You get a feeling of luxury on the road and power behind the wheel.

I like the look. I like the color. I like the comfort of the ride.

Lola K

It is one of the safest vehicles out there and is very responsive to the drivers touch.

The car drives very well with very few blind spots. I do not like the location of the cup holders. While I like some features of the driver assist feature it can be too sensitive at times.

Camille B

It runs well but you should only be using it for city travel.

This car has a lot of good safety features and a very comfortable ride also has a lot of room and seats 5.

ricky h

Fast yet comfortable. Really good MPG if you keep it in economy, really comes in to its own on the freeway.

The car is the smoothest one I have ever drove. It comes with plenty of extras as standard, the on board system is very easy to use.

After having 9 other Mercedes of which 6 have been eclasses

Have to say this is the first Mercedes E220 Eclass 2016 Facelift model of 2010-2016 model that I have not been Satisfied with, reaching out to Mercedes Germany and Mercedes UK were I purchased car and brought back to Ireland a let down with Goodwill Gesture. Headlight Control unit Fault with Daytime Running Light and Parking light Passenger Side, either a new unit of which there is 2 required and is behind bumper and Headlight which have to be removed to get at, or it could be headlight unit won't know till Mechanic takes apart, furthermore could be without car for a while until a reprogrammed part comes in to Mercedes Dublin. I have to say for all the other 9 Mercedes I have had this is the worst experience I have had to date, I like the car apart from that, it could be my last purchase of a Mercedes as Quality is a let down on new cars not Quality Build like previous Cars

The cost of maintenance of a Mercedes.

It is an enjoyable driving experience; however, the cost of maintenance is extremely high. We have replaced all four tires at least once because of tire pressure issues, and as compared to our less luxurious vehicles, the Mercedes runs into way more problems.

Sonya R

Sporty sedan that makes a good family car!

The features inside the car including technology integration is outdated, but I enjoy the handling and performance. It is a comfortable and sporty car, yet still has a roomy interior. I have two car seats in the back too! Maintenance on Mercedes Benz is expensive so we are glad we have a service package. This would be a main reason I would prefer to lease a Mercedes over buying it.

My Mercedes-Benz saved my life!

I traded in my 2012 E350 sport because I got tired of the harsh ride and since I’m older I wanted the newer safety systems. My new to me 2016 E350 4matic is a huge leap forward from my older E class! It has everything! Steering assist, distronic plus, parking pilot, etc. The ride is very plush and silent. About a week after I bought it the car saved my life. I was traveling 70 mph on the interstate and a car cut in front of me and hit the brakes. The accident avoidance system kicked in with full braking assistance before I even had a chance to touch the brake pedal. I’m a Mercedes-Benz driver for life!

E-400 coupe- amazing and stylish car.

Great car!! Stylish, sleek, drives smooth. Love the service Mercedes Benz provides, will continue to drive. Love the e class. Very spacious inside for a coupe. The sunroof is large and great. There is a big difference between the c class and e class I highly recommend the e class.

Pros from Owners

Anouska W.

The Climate control function is great so each side can adjust temperatures. Also the lighting inside can be adjusted so varying colors are seen. It also auto parks which is great. And connects to phones so car can be started, GPS directions sent before leaving the house. Lighting inside. Auto park.

Cons from Owners

Anouska W.

It's not great at Autopark-it's always a little scary when trying to park in a tight spot. Also wish that it had self parking options and self driving options. For the most part this vehicle is great though, cannot think of any other cons.

We decided for this car because we have only one car and it must be reliable. So a give a 8 for that. yes, we had few problems here and there, but nothing major. Expensive going to the dealer.
