Best Car Ever

2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E320 Rwd 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)

Best car I have ever owned and I now wonder why I did not consider MB before now. The c class is affordable and something I could have managed financially before the e class model. Overall MB is superior in many ways. I drove researched every sedan and SUV between $30K and $60k and think the E320 is perfect with regard to size, price, performance and options. I highly recommend the phenomenal voice- activated phone package with includes CD and radio. It makes it as safe or safer than listening to the radio while driving.

Aside from a defective alternator @ 1,000 miles and a loose headrest, the E500 4Matic hasn't disappointed. It has handled superbly through 30"+ of NE snow thus far. Solid car, solid ride, good price/value correlation.

Excellent handling and stability with an almost surgical attachment to the road when cornering a little too fast for those hairpin turns. Pickup very good although I debated between the 320 and the 500 won out, I almost wish I went for the E55 AMG which would have taken my horses from 302 to 467. Reliability as compared to my 2002 ML is far in away better although I've got under 10k miles and have yet to see the yellow ! go on for any AWD action. Contour seats seem to breathe around you and those bladders fill and empty whenever you take a curve at high speed and it senses the g forces to hold you firmly in place. And the girls seem to like it also.

It is a great car. Design and execution is great. My only complain is the one feature which I purchase and did not get is the active lights option. MB should have informed their customer when they delayed a feature as I custom order this car.

My 1st E-320 Mercedes

Have only had it for 2 months -- less than 1000 miles. Superb quailty. Quietest car I've ever owned. Gorgeous interior. Peppy acceleration. Sporty and sleek exterior. No problems so far.. Some people have complained about the "hard to modulate" brakes, but I havn't had any trouble using them. And the brakes are quite strong.
