Used 2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Consumer Reviews
Falling Apart
We bought this vehicle about 2 years ago as certified used from dealership. We have been taking it in for repairs about 3-4 times a year. Head lamps have gone out a few times each. The radio quit working a few months ago-replacement costs $1,200. Warning lights go on about once a month for coolant level, brakes, lamps, etc. once every few months. The transmission is very jerky at low speeds. Interior trim pieces and outer roof strip are coming off. The engine/transmission noise while driving is loud and harsh. Interior truck lock assembly is falling apart.
I like it!
I just moved from a 97' E-class, which was nice, but this new one is another class. Better handling, ride, acoustics, comfort ergonomics. Mercedes must have been reading the feedback from past E customers.

IMPRESSED
I have owned most high end sedans and 2 other E Class automobiles. This is a totally different experience than any of the others. It has the size and comfort of the Lexus LS 430, the style of a staring value of my 911 and that tried and true Mercedes quality. If you drive an E 500- you will have to have one.
New E class will impress
I have been driving the new E class three months. Very nice car. Frim yet luxurious ride. Teh 32o has plenty of horses for me buut some BMW converts may opt for the 500. The new exterior styling in nearly perfect. I really love it. That charcoal gray interior is tough to beat.
Software has bugs
Car is great, but engine makes noise (malfuntion, they order the parts already), error msg come on seveal times because the software bugs. Looks great, drive great, keyless-go is a great feature and a must. Sport package has stiffness adjustment is also a very good feature for a sports car fan.
