Used 2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Consumer Reviews
Great Design, Poorly Built
In twelve months of ownership, I have been to the dealer eleven times for fixes and repairs: replaced power seat motors; replaced remote keys (twice); reset of lock system so I could open my truck; replace driver door seal; etc.. I believe my car was built during Octoberfest. The dealer has been somewhat sympathetic, and MBUSA has been entirely arrogant. Next time a Lexus
Outstanding fun family car
Good styling, good driving, excellent fuel economy

E Series 4matic - logical choice in snow
Looking for a AWD, E320-4matic is the only AWD in a sedan that glides through snow like hot knife in butter. It's quiet, responsive, and luxurious. I wish I had heated seats, but for the money, I can add seat heaters for a couple of hundred dollars. The Nav is a bit awkward, but does work as expected.
Finally
I've owned nine BMW, 3 Audi's and just about everything else a driving enthusiast would want in the price range of less than $60k. This car is by far the best I have ever had. Let me explain why. I'll start with the M5. Power, grace and superior handling. The E55 tops the M5 in every category except handling. The trade-off is comfort. The E55 changes gears quicker than the manual M5 so it provides the best of both worlds. I could go on, but in short, this car is great! I change cars every six months due to lack of satisfaction, but this one is a keeper. It changes gears like a Porsche, It's comfortable like a Benz should be.
Lovin' it!!
It's 01/2010, my car has 83,000 miles on it and it performs / rides like new. Drove from Houston to Florida straight through at 80-100 mph and still got 25.5 mpg average for the trip...hard to beat! Repairs can get costly, but the performance is worth it! (Get a warranty if you can) I'd recommend this car to any car enthusiast!
