Used 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Diesel Consumer Reviews
160,000 miles and still running strong
I bought my 2006 Mercedes E320 CDI new in October 2006 and marvel at it's low maintenance costs, quality of ride and great milage. We have taken this car from Texas to California on three occasions as well as traveled to North Carolina with another trip to Florida. Since the car is now 17 years old we have dropped the collision coverage and our cost to insure is very reasonable. The fit and finish of the car still make the car look great and the almost 800 mile range when traveling on the highway make it hard to beat. The only regret is that newer vehicles have backup camaras and other safety features like lane departure warning. At least I can play all of my old cassette tapes in this car. If you are not concerned with keeping up with the Jones and looking for a safe, inexpensive car with low operating costs (including insurance) look for a comparable model.

Disappointing
Ive always wanted a Mercedes. To me, they were the epitome of luxury cars. I'm sorry to say I have been terribly disappointed. For what I paid I expected a top of the line vehicle, but got far less than I could have gotten from a new Camry. To start with, the navigation system is very important to me, yet the E320 has no touch screen, no voice command, not even blue tooth (some Japanese economy cars have blue tooth). In fact, the processor is so slow it cant present but a few streets at a time, and has no readable compass in the nav mode. No right arm rest for the driver if you use the cup holder. I could go on but space is limited. I wish I hadnt given up my Camry for this car.

New Mercedes diesel
I just bought the new E320 Bluetek. I replaced an E55 Kompressor, so the acceleration is down of course, the milage is double and power is enough. I drove last years 320 CDI, it's straight 6 was a little less noisey, you can tell this is a diesel when idling. Overall a beautiful car.
