After 3 years of owning a C320 I decided to upgrade to a E500. My C320 visited the workshop more than any of my cars but I thought the new models might be better. Well within 24-hours of delivery the car was on a tow truck. The alternater had died within the 1st 100 miles of the car's life. The fact that the factory and dealer tests did not find the bad alternater scared the hell out of me. What can I expect from this car?
Never again!

What a nightmare! It's just so much fun to drive a 6 year old Mercedes with only 52,000 miles that doesn't have an operational radio. There is a widely known issue with the radio with these vehicle (go ahead and Google 2004 e500 radio problems) yet no one at MB cares! The dealers won't go to battle for you even though they acknowledge it's a widely known issue. MB Customer Care? Well aren't they the most pompous and arrogant individuals on the planet. Go buy something else, there are far better luxury automobiles out there.

having spent over $60,000 I expected more.....car came in with incorrect color. The car's performance is great - and fun to drive. BUT, the reliability is not worth it! It's been back to the dealer countless time for electrical problems (phone/audio/locks). Wanted navigation at time of purchase - was not available. Dealer said I could add later - turned out to be a lie. Dealer is pathetic and arrogant. About to turn in for a competitor's car - unlikely to buy another MB. (this was my second). Don't waste your money on this car - better choices out there today.
Great Mid-Range Benz

Sold my S500 after 2 years because I wanted something a little smaller and sportier. This car is quick, agile and a blast to drive. The 7 speed auto is good, but shifts a little strange from standstill or slow start. Handling is very tight and interior is quiet - nice insulation. Stereo isn't as good as the "S" and the ride is not as cushy - but both are well within accepable ranges. Only problem on delivery was car needed slight alignment. If you're thinking of an "E", you simply can't go wrong with the 500.
