I had a 2003 E500 which seemed quicker than this car, I think for the money it should have more hp

This is my 3rd MB. Owned an E500 4m for a year, and decided to sell. First the good news, the car was totally reliable and finely finished inside and out, but a few months of driving revealed a series of irritations that added up. There's throttle lag in this model, and brakes are hard to modulate due to the 'SBC'. The steering power assist at lo speed is non existent, and at any speed the wheel needs constant input to stay on line. The airmatic works well at speed in corners and to isolate cabin, but go over a bump at lo speed and your head will bob. My old E430 4m felt roomier and easier to drive in suburbia and city. This car is engineered to compete with BMW in autobahn conditions, not on Long Island.

My 2005 is the most exciting thing that I believe has happened to me in my entire life-maybe because it wasnt planned? Sure I'd rode in Mercedes many times with my girl friends fathers that all were surgeons. Never giving that a thought so many years later. I have owned many nice cars in my life. Id just never even thought to look or drive a Mercedes. A friend had it & was supposed to be bringing me an Equinox instead showed up with my Benz! Ive owned it for a year & I dont regret anything about it! Anyone thats ever road with me Always comments on how it feels as if were riding on air! I could drive this across the country and never get tired! Dependable, Sporty,Fast and has more bells & whistles than you have ever heard of! Solid excellent car!

I have been driving Lexus auto's for 12 years .I have changed due to wanting a german auto after driving porsche's. I tried e500 and it sooo nice , I will get one next year also . I trade every year . But what an auto ! I cant explain the difference , Between Lexus and Mercede's You have to drive one to experince it . Im sure you will agree . Paddybozz

This car is awesome! The powerful V8 is silky smooth with responsive handling making this car an absolute joy to drive. The interior feels like it was well made and solid with sexy styling. When you slide into the car you immediately get the feeling of "luxury". In addition, it's packed with plenty of convenience features, too many to list. Definitely the best sedan I've ever owned!
