I bought the car new in March, 2003. It is fun to drive and gets excellent fuel economy. I have never got less than 20 MPG. The car "turns eyes" wherever we go. In late June - early July we took cross country road trip. The ride was extremely comfortable for both me and my two passengers. Mileage averaged about 25 MPG for the trip (over 8,500 miles total). Extremely quiet and comfortable even at high speeds. Only one problem - that was with the audio system going out. They just got a "fix" - so should not be a problem in the future. I have been very satisfied with every aspect of owning and driving the vehicle.

Having taken delivery less than one month ago, this is, without doubt the finest 4 door performance sedan in the world today. the effortless power and handling just never ceases to amaze me. A recent 700 mile road trip turned into one of the finest motoring experiences I have had, with superlative comfort, exhilerating performance on tap, and total all round excellence. Driving is fun again! This car is definitely a future classic with superlative build quality and unrivalled appeal.

2003 e-500 has a very mushy ride, out of touch with the road, interior is way too light colored but few interior color choices, confusing controls, ordinary styling, has been robbed of mercedes qualities. out of touch with the driver, I'll drive my 1999 E-320 thanks, now that's a mercedes. would not buy again!

This car draws many looks from people in a variety of age groups. The engine is silky smooth; the interior is like a glove; the driver seat is very comfortable and interior layout very intuitive. My only complaint is that the cruise control is not part of the steering wheel.

The best car I've ever owned!

I've had this car for just a few weeks now, and every time I drive it it gets better. I had a CLK 430 before this, and the ride is softer, the acceleration and handling better, and the build quality superior to that one. I looked at the Lexus GS430, the BMW 5-series and this and the MB wins hands down. The stereo is awesome and the seats are comfortable yet sporty. Nothing to complain about - just a blast to drive!!!
