Nearly 3000 miles -- Awesome car!

This car is very different than anything I have driven. New to diesels, I can't get over the launch at low revs. Taking off, you need to push the throttle gently at first to spool up the turbo and then let it go. Amazing torque! In regards to looks, feel, ride, quality, it truly does the Mercedes brand justice. A fine car with great toys and beauty throughout. So far I am delighted! In regards to MPG, I have a mixed highway city daily commute of 30 miles. I am seeing 30 MPG consistently on each leg.

This car is exciting on so many different levels. There is nothing like it on the road even though Audi and Cadillac try very hard. There's still nothing that feels, smells, or drives like a Benz. Faster than some Ferraris and Porsche's but practical enough to strap my daughter into her car seat and go go go!

Have always wanted to own a new Mercedes, now we do. Previous car was a '01 E-320 & though we thoroughly enjoyed owning it, the '05 model is vastly improved. Thought about waiting for the new E-350, but felt very comfortable with the deal I got on this one.

Replaced a Ford Expedition with a CLK 430 then an E320. Huge improvement in quality, ride, fuel economy, etc.

I went from an Audi S4 to my E55 and have to say I am really disappointed with the MB. It is a great car, fast as can be but doesn't compare with the Audi. The handling and build quality of the MB aren't up to the Audi standards which was a let down.
