I'm used to the comfortable hohum driving experieces of Japanese cars. For a long time I've driven Lexus, but decided I wanted something fun to drive, comfortable, safe, and powerful. This car fit the description almost perfectly. I got the AWD model for Connecticut's uncertain winters. The car begs to be driven fast. You can fine tune your suspension from comfort to sport which ever you desire. A deterent for German cars seem to be its terrible reliability, so far nothing yet! We'll see how the rest of the year progesses. It's nice to have the only one , the car turns heads all over. The vehicle was equipped with the premium and appearance packages, electric trunk closer, wood steering wheel, and voice control.
Love this car!!!

I bought this car used with 92k and now has 102k. This thing is still like a new car. Best 8 grand ever spent.

This is my sixth Benz. All the rest where ok as far as dependability. This 2006 E350 4 matic has been nothing but trouble.I bought it 24 month and it has been in for service 16 times. 5 times for trany problems(leaks,shifting trouble,transfer case problems) 5 times for electrical troubles.(battery kept draining still cant find the problem three new batteries so far) Air bag trouble(2x) , steering rack leaks(2x) and the seat back panels had to be changer (they came loose) and the front power seats jammed 2X .MB is in the process of replacing the car (I am only paying for mileage used) They treat good customers well. First time buyer would have a problem (Lawyer Time )
Disappointing!!!

Between my ex-wife and myself, my ‘06 E350 is my fifth MB. This was a one owner with 82K miles and all the service done at the dealer. I purchased it as a backup for my ‘00 Lexus LX470 (the luxury version of the Land Cruiser) with 315k miles. Over the past 24 months the e350 has cost 3x in maintenance as the LX. This includes a valve body for the transmission ($2.6k) plus an intake manifold ($1k). During this period, the Benz sat in the garage 12 months :-(. Although I love the way it drives, this most likely will be my last Mercedes. My mechanic cautioned me that the newer models are more expensive to repair. Since I’ll most likely be living on a fixed income at this time, this assumes I can squeeze eight more years out of the Benz, I will play it safe and opt for reliability (LS600).

I am compelled to write a review on this car after a year and a half of ownership because it has been a series of non-stop transmission problems which Mercedez cannot seem to fix. I do not know if they have fixed the 2007 model but you really need to thoroughly test-drive this car and ask around. Also, the back tires needed replacement after just 20,000 miles which seemed a little too soon. This car also has a totally unusable cup holder, something you think is just a small thing but turns out to be huge for us commuters. I am thoroughly disappointed in my $70,000 purchase and wish I had stayed with a Lexus, a car I thoroughly enjoyed for ten years.
