2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Greatest Drives I had in years

By Jaycabs (AZ) on Friday, May 10, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 77,500

Pros: "Dynamic, comfort, look, fast"

Cons: "It's a Mercedes, parts and repairs may be costly"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"This 2005 Mercedes E500 has been the nicest car I've owned. Comfort, speed, luxury. This car has it all. From the 5.0 V8 engine, to the comfortable leather seating. The dynamic suspension, at the push of a button you drive in comfort, and with the same button, you can lower the suspension to drive it like a sports car. This beauty really sticks to the road and I wouldn't feel safer in another car. I highly recommend this beauty."

Incredible machine

By Lou (TX) on Tuesday, April 23, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 77,000

Pros: "Great road car, beautiful styling, brawn"

Cons: "none, really...enjoy!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"Love this car, great lines and is as solid as they come. Even with all the bells and whistles it has been reliable transportation (but suggest the extended warranty anyway). Great road car, which we use quite frequently on the highway...oh yeah, the highway. It is incredibly fast, once your at highway speeds, the 5.5 litre engine and 7 speed tranny pegs you to the seat when passing. Excessive speeds are difficult to avoid, so caution is a must. Great job MB."

They Don't Get Any Better than THIS!

By Mr Limo (IL) on Monday, April 22, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 187,000

"I have owned hundeds of cars in my lifetime and this one tops them all. Always bought S class and SL's. Have owned all of the BMW's and Jaguars. At age 58, decided to just buy a nice toy. I found this 2003 E320 with 180,000 miles a few months ago and have had nothing but pleasure. I had never owned a car with over 100K but was always aware of the E320 reliability. I'm SOLD!!! She drives as good as my 2007 S Class. Not one complaint. Just drove it from Chi to Vegas without any reservations. Sensational Ride. Plan to go at least another 180,000 miles. Haven't bought anything but gas (30 MPG)"

Only vehicle I have ever been disappointed owning

By Copernicus (MD) on Saturday, April 20, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 58,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"Transmission went up 2000 miles after warranty. Benz said too bad. Cheap plastic parts. Only 58,000 miles on 08 purchased in 07 but quality is poor. Owned BMW 7 Series prior. Going back to BMW . I've never despised a car more. Mercedes has lost me forever based on my ownership and experience. From leather seats ripping to interior pieces chipping to cheap plastic parts on outside breaking, just a poor quality car."

Smooth Ride

By Morphus2013 (TX) on Thursday, April 18, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 97,000

Pros: "it's an aeroplane on the road"

Cons: "Doesn't make coffee"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"When I bought this car I had done my research and I knew this was the vehicle I wanted. For the value of the vehicle, this car is priceless. It was a major upgrade from what I was previously driving. The cruise is fabulous, the entertainment is classic, the Auto AC is out of this world. Did I mention the heater on the leather seats? Maintenance cost is lower than I had thought - once a year for $600 there's nothing like it, the navigation system, the phone system - honestly I think this is the best MB has ever made. I hope MB is considering a coffee maker in the next E350 model!"

I'm hitting 97k miles on it now, and I'm stuck with it. I just love it. I hope MB is considering a coffee maker in the next E350 model!"
