Fantastic car... plenty of power,nice amenities, inconspicuous, and reliable as hell. Comfortable long-hauler. It's a sleeper.Love the heated seats! Classic body style still looks good after all these years! The Germans really know how to build a car!!! Bought this one for less than $1000, and can't imagine a better car for the money...
February 10, 2013This Mercedes Benz type, is the successful E class of all time. started since 1996 until the last model 1999. It has powerful 6-cylinder 3200CC engine, very nice suspension (although you lowered it) and of course very nice handling. The appearance of this car is so luxury, just like a prince from heaven.
January 10, 2010I love this car!! My lead foot loves the quick and reliable acceleration from a dead stop or to pass from a nice cruising speed. Rides smoothly and quietly. The car is sturdy and big enough for my family, yet fun enough for an enthusiast. MPG is good for 8 cylinders. FUN FUN FUN.

September 10, 2008Very reliable and safe. Loved to drive the car anywhere.
June 13, 2023the 1997-2005 E Class with the CDI Diesel is one of the best cars Mercedes-Benz every made!
September 7, 2020Amazing performance, one of the very safest cars in the world (at any price), excellent visibility, extremely comfortable for long-distance trips. One of the best high-performance family cars you can possibly buy. An incredible value! Safety, luxury, power, comfort, and German sedan handling. Under 84xxx miles.
June 20, 2012Just got it, but already love the features, handling, accellerating and overall wisely implemented luxury!
March 18, 2007As above , this car has safety at number 1 covered. Number 2 is of course built for comfort and is easy on the eye. my only issues I had was rear vision, invest in parking sensors and problem solved. This model was an inline 6 and the last of, so was a little slow on acceleration BUT, once it kicked in SEE U LATER!
October 13, 2013Solid build quality and presence that can't be denied. Performance was outstanding for I-6 engine. Electrical issues spoiled the day. Ownership cost though was comparable to mid size sedans. Overall, its nice to have it once in a while.
June 24, 2009It's a very comfortable ride and great acceleration, but many electrical issues.
