I've only had my Benz CDI for 2 weeks...and here is my take. Looks...it has great lines and curves. Timeless elegance. Performance...Mine is tunes and has all the deletes. It goes 0-60 in 5 sec. It is quiet, smooth and nimble on the freeway. Comfort...seats are just OK. Not a lot of padding and seats don't have much give. They do adjust well though. AC and heat are good. Ease of use...Nav is worthless. I just use WAZE. No Bluetooth, but I connect my phone using a Bluetooth FM device that connects the car to my phone via the radio. It works well. Computer is easy enough to figure out, but could be more intuitive. Radio is decent, but I've heard better. all controls are easily reachable. Cruise on L side of wheel occasionally gets bumped when using turn signal. It could be a problem. Seat warmers slowly go off, BY DESIGN!!! this is one I've not run into before. On any of my other cars, the seats warmers stay on whatever setting you switch on...until you switch it off. Not MB. It starts with 3 bars, then 2 bars 10 min later, then 1 bar 10 min later, then off. Weird concept. Ease of working on it/DIY maintenance....This is where it gets really good grades. All the filters and pretty easy to replace. Oil changes are a breeze. Ability to modify...These cars can be tuned, have bigger turbos swapped in, body upgrades. It's no VW or Subaru when it comes to mods, but you can have fun with it. Overall impression...I love the car. It's elegant, very fast, great MPG and rides great. Wish seats were better.

The CDI has become r fave car vs 300 hp CLK V8 coupe and ML SUV Roomy, comfortable almost 2 ton panzer should be safer in collision as mass & room inside to decelerate vitals before contacting int. surfaces. Get heated seats - great for sore back & xenons really lite your way. Trip computer reads 32.0 mpg 4 the last 16457 miles! I never reset it, but they do reset at the various required MB services (battery disconnected?) Torque is incredible, this is a 5 sp auto with inline 6 turbo, a bit of lag, but u get used to it. If you are looking for a diesel for your own homemade biofuel, get inline 6 as unlike the new V6 diesel (2007 and up) the MB mech says inline can run on it with mods. Has been very reliable

I did a lot of research and realized that the I-6 CDI motor was one for the ages. Iron block, naturally balanced, dependable and durable. I had to purchase a "pre-owned" 2006 since I live in the great state of California. I arrived and I could not be happier. My father has owned many MB cars over the years, this CDI is as close to a perfect car as he and I can imagine. It is the perfect size, seats 5, it has outstanding acceleration and curising speed capability and I got 35 MPG over a 226 mile trip (including several acceleration runs). On that 226 mile trip I used just a smidge over 1/4 of the tank. The range left is 400 miles. I am looking forward to this car for years to come.
A great car so far in the first 1000 mi.

This is very comfortable car. Lot of amenities and it feels very safe. The H-K sound system is outstanding. I have had it not long enough to make a judgement on its reliability yet, but so far it has been a great car. I took my friends out and none could tell it is powered by a diesel engine. The acceleration is exceptional and the handling are quite sporty. It is also a very quite highway cruiser (reving at 200 rpm at 70mph) and has plenty of power for passing.

My previous E-300 (99) was driven 87000 relatively perfect except for a ew electrical glitches and bad window carriage interior hardware. This CDI model gets better fuel mileage, is quieter and is more comfortable. All over I'd rate it a 9.8. I wish it had 4- matic, but I was told that it was not available in the CDI model. The worse single feature is the radio/cd which can't hold a candle to the system in my 1999 model. Kardon vs Bose...
