E320 — GREAT CAR! My first Benz, but won't be my last. Bought used 5 years ago, have only had 2 minor mechanical repairs and regular maintenance (brakes, tires, oil chg). Very comfortable to drive, V6 with plenty of power and 28mpg highway.

Great Performance Car, But Had Many Parts Failure Issues — I owned a 2001 E320 and drove it for four years before trading it in. the car was quick from the start and performed very well. I had to constantly replace the brake lamps and turn signal lamps about every two months which was frustrating. All parts of course are very expensive. I had to replace the right and left side catylic converter which each one was a $1,000.00 each including labor.

Mb E320 Cdi Avantgarde — Okay, okay. Anything to get back to the game. I drive a silver MB E320 cdi avantgarde which in my view is the best E class built. tremendous performance for a saloon car which when you look at it looks like an ordinary car. Next best thing to an E55 (forget the E63, too expensive and only half as fun as an E55). However for what is now considered silly money you can get my car with upto 40mpg and cracking performance.

My First Mercedes — I bought this car from a dealer in 2004 after it came in from a 3 year lease and have been very satisfied with my purchase. Truly the best car I've ever owned. People have been asking me for the last five years when I plan on buying a new car because they want to buy this one, and I've finally decided that this is the year to upgrade. I'm still very happy with my 430, and it only has 150k miles on it, but after 9 good years it's served its purpose.

Great Benz — What makes this car different from the others is the fact that it has a body kit. Which includes, front, sides, and back. With a black roof, and HID lights it will make it stand out from any other Benz. This car is awesome to drive for relaxation or for fast and furious fun.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Beyond Expectations — Bought my E55 AMG 2 years ago with 62K miles. Replaced all belts, fluids, spark plugs, engine mounts, a seal, etc...Since then it's only needed gas, oil and Tires. This car is a beast!! Unbelievable power, very aggressive look, Great gas mileage for what it is (drove from Houston to Florida at 80-100 mph and averaged 25.8 mpg!!! If you find one, invest in the up front preventative maintenance and enjoy!! I highly recommend this vehicle

Probably The Best — I rate E-Class as one of the best in the line up. Only problem I had was corroded engine cover (kompressor). And it's road handling is marvellous. Fuel consumption is great. Probably the best car I had in my garage.
