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.

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.

I don't think I will ever own anything but a Mercedes now! It's the best! Plenty of room for my family. I cannot believe the fuel economy I am getting! The dealership filled up my tank and I drove on that first tank 723 miles. This has so much power, and looks so slick!

My commute is 60 miles of highway against the traffic flow and I fill this CDI up once every two weeks. My 2001 E320 required refill once per week. Composed and comfortable, the integrated iPod system is a delight. Seat comfort is much improved over older models. No clatter or smoke and plenty of low end torque when you apply the right foot. Most passengers won't know it is a diesel till you tell them.
Performance & 40mpg. Amazing CDI E320

An outstanding combination of class, performance, and economy! The E320 CDI has it all. The vehicle is a pleasure to drive. It produces massive torque at below 2000 rpm giving the sense of tremendous acceleration with almost no lag. Cruising with this vehicle at 75-80mph provides a solid feel of the road while producing almost 40mpg. The car loafs along at this speed and you can cruise for 3-4 hours at a time without tiring. The car handles well on country roads as well as interstates. While not a roadster, the car easily handles most curvey roads well. Better handling can be had if you install higher performance tires versus those the car is shipped with.
