2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"The overall feedback from owners of the 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class highlights a strong appreciation for its powerful performance, luxurious interior, and advanced features. Many drivers loved the comfortable ride and solid build quality, with particular praise for its acceleration and smooth driving experience. However, some concerns were raised about gas mileage, expensive repairs, and specific performance issues with the engine. Overall, this car is seen as a great choice for those who value a blend of luxury and power."
The 2006 Mercedes-Benz E500 was powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine that produced 302 horsepower. The engine was linked to a seven-speed automatic designed for more fuel-efficient driving and better acceleration. It came with the Touch Shift feature, which enabled the driver to upshift and downshift manually
January 10, 2008The E Class is the Perfect car. It comes in 2 options, Rear Wheel drive and my favorite 4 MATIC. Smooth ride, handling and features are all First Class.
January 17, 2021This 2006 model was better than I expected. Sat on the road better than the reviews, and as I was expecting the POWER was incredible. This is why you buy an E55 w211. Car still looks stylish and has many outside options for upgrades and aftermarket tunes as well. The features still can be used today such as parktronics, push start etc... Hard to find them clean for good numbers, but the car itself is as good as it comes. For the power, features, and stability it’s under valued. Glad I own one finally!

August 23, 2020"Keyless Go" button stopped working and I don't want to put the money in to fix it. Black Ash wood appointments are pretty classy. Pretty good gas mileage. The car is very sticky on the road. It corners wonderfully, even at speed.
October 26, 2014Great car. I drive it every day and it makes my commute fun. It has only needed windshield repairs due to rocks on the road. Beautiful inside and out. The gas milage on the highway is about 25mpg, less in town. I have the 4matic and it is solid and easy to handle on snow and rain. This car appears expensive, but has been quite reasonable to care for and maintain.
April 25, 2010Great family car. The CDI version has excellent fuel economy that makes long trips hassle free. The amazing 13 speaker stereo with built in sub is a great asset to the vehicle. The diesel performance has great low-end power and makes a great purr and 140 mph.
October 27, 2009Very comfortable ride. The engine shifts smoothly and accelerates quickly. I love this car!
November 16, 2020Very good gas mileage, fine braking and handling.Trunk space a little small for me but enough for her. Seating is good for me, I'm very tall, and I don't feel cramped. Has only been in the shop for the battery problem and normal service.
September 4, 20130-60 in about 4.3 seconds very refined, a little heavy around turns, gas mileage is awful around 13-14 per gallon, a real sleeper, very few people know the capability of this car, overall a lot of fun, only real draw back is the upkeep
April 23, 2010Fast, great ride, and most importantly, reliable. Safety features everywhere. Great looks and comfort. Just the right amount of sensing the road without being too cushy. Was always fun to drive. Never spent a penny on maintenance because of the free maintenance and warranty.
