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.

I have owned Porches, BMW's, and M- B's...my new E500 beats'em all...I've never enjoyed a car so much as this one.

Performance, especially acceleration is unmatched. Road noise almost non- existant. Interior controls are intuitive and properly placed. Styling continues to turn heads

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.

E 320--Nearly Perfect

This our fourth Merecedes: 1980 450 SL, 1981 300SD, 1990 300E, and a 2004 E320. Drove the SD 10 years, 200,000 miles. My wife totaled the 300E in six months, when an 18 wheeler pushed her into a bridge on I75. But she walked away whole, only a red nose from an airbag.We have owned Jaguar, Lincoln, and Cadilac. My wife, now very safety conscious, drives a beautiful 2000 Volvo S80. These are fine vehicles, but none, including the Mercedes, compare with the 2004 E320. For my driving taste, my 04 E320 Mrcedes is the nearly perfect machine, by far the finest car I have ever owned.
