Used 2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Consumer Reviews
Not impressed with this car
We finally decided to get rid of this car after 23,000 miles and three major trips to to shop. When we bought this car and paid the amount of money one would expect for a Mercedes, we expected excellent quality and that is NOT what we got! The car is nice, has good design and rides well. But we cannot understand how the doors couldn't quite close right, the transmission as bad, and numberous other electrical and mechanical failures keep the car in the shop. The only good part of this story is that it was covered under the warranty. The bad news is someday somebody else will own if afterwards and have to foot these bills!

The AMG...
great low-end power; good brakes; excellent luxury cruiser; plenty of space for 4-5 passengers; a bit heavy on turns (going 60+ mph :)); would purchase again!
The worst car ever
I've owned this car for almost a year and it is horrible. My '92 Lexus SC400 with 149k is better made and more reliable than my Mercedes. Mass air sensor went without any warning, air conditioning is terrible and makes noise, display on radio is distorted. Parts are way too expensive, and car is very unreliable. Anyone considering a Benz, I would strongly recommend a Lexus. Toyota puts out a much better product at a better price, with better quality.
My E320 experience after 14,000 miles
The car is solidly built, like a "bank vault on wheels". It handles quite well in the rain at high speeds. I get an average of 25 MPG combined local and highway driving, computer showed 30 MPG at one time during a two hour freeway trip averaging 75 MPH speed. If you are looking for a safe, well engineered car with the latest technology, this is the car for you.
