Review
This car drives the best of any
comparable cars! Smooth and stable
cornering, solid feel, and impressive
acceleration. Having owned Lexus for
many years, I believe the quality of
the details are more superior on the
Lexus but the LS400 cannot compete
with this one on the quality of the
ride. Get used to more stares and
attention driving a Mercedes compared
to other luxury cars!

My 4th benz will be my last. OK styling.
Enough power but with a noticeable
acceleration lag. Even with all the
auto gadgets the seats were not
comfortable. A great geezer car but not
much else. Trans went out at 60000.

Review
I drove a 1977 Buick Regal for 17
years. Put 275000 miles on the original
power train. That vehicle allowed me to
save enough to purchase the car that I
thought was a gorgeous automobile.
Love this car. In the 5 years I have
owned this automobile, I have lost a
left rear window regulator ($100).
BUT, if I had it to do over I would
seriously look into an A6 (with an 8).

I bought my E420 on December 26, 2002
with 18,106 miles on it. I have had NO
Trouble Whatsoever. Everything works
and works well. The car was like new
inside and out and with 24,300 on the
clock, it still is. I feel for those
that got a bad one. On the other hand,
I can hardly imagine a better car if
you got a good one, as I did. I can
hardly believe the soldity and
smoothness of this machine. I would
simply urge anyone in the market for
one to scrutinize the car extensively
BEFORE purchasing it.

Love the power of my 19997 E420, but
hate the fact that every little
electronic part is failing: the ECU
($2000+), the little fan over the
mirror ($200), the seat adjustment
working backwards ($???), the ignition
key cylinder ($200), the mirror control
($///), the stupid cup holder....
Going on sale this week...

I bought this car from San Ramon German
Motors. It had 22000 miles when I got
it. It has 25k now. Awsome car. The
sound system is remarkable. The
interior is well layed out. Everything
is were you need it. I especially like
the Adjustable seats. The integrated
key and infrared fob thing is one of
the best parts....No seperate fob. (jay)

As a first time owner of a Mercedes, I
am not impressed. The seating is not
comfortable. No adjustable lumbar
support and I'm still trying to figure
out what component of the seat frame is
either loose or in need of replacement
The seat "Pops" upon acceleration,
deceleration or cornering. I'm glad I
didn't dish out the big bucks for a new
model. This is 5 yrs. old. Next car
will be a Lexus.
