Great under warranty, not so much after

I love the car but since the warranty expired it has been a nightmare. Maintenance is astronomical and repairs under $1000 are unknown. Oil cooler seals ($10 parts and $2000 labour, turbocharger ($4000!!!) are well known poor designs. If you buy one go ahead and buy a warranty. If not you’ll be up to your neck in horrendously expensive repair bills!

Take the family in style

My E350 wagon was just broken in and it is such a smooth and refined family vehicle. The suspension is stiff, however the ride remains composed and luxurious. The car handles so well you forget the car weighs over 4000 lbs and it is actually fun to drive for a station wagon. It's not fast, however it has plenty of power for easy around town and highway driving. The driver's seat is so comfortable and piloting this Benz is truly a pleasure and a big step up from my previous Audi A6 Avant. It also gets decent 25 mpg while crusing at about 75-80 mph.(much better than EPA's 21 mpg estimate)

Great performance in a beautiful package

Have about 2000 miles on my 2008 E63 and have enjoyed every minute of it. Late 60's engine performance in a luxury sedan that is so quiet you sometimes wonder if the engine is running. Really like the styling. A sporty look while still retaining its MB historic look. More options than one has time to learn in one year. I am still reading the very hefty manual but every day controls are intuitive and easy to navigate without a manual. This is my first Mercedes and I waited for the 2008 model in Iridium Silver Metallic to pull the trigger. Everyone should own a car like this once in their lifetime. A perfect blend of sports car performance with the prowess of a well respected luxury sedan.

Mercedes Wow

My wife loves her Benz. We have had a few others but this one tops them all. Maybe it is the low mileage, the great maintenance provided by the dealer, the comfort or the fact the car fits her like a glove. She refuses to look at a newer model and wants to keep this auto forever. It still looks and runs like it is brand new and with the low mileage there is no reason this car will not be in our family for many more years to come.

Clean, strong and fast for a big car that gets 26MPG average and 35MPG on the highway. No odor or smoke ever, truly amazing. I have had it about a year now with no problems. I did upgrade to the 18" wheels for looks. The stock 16" ones were quiet and smoother ride.
