Have owned this car since it was brand new (10 years) and the only time it needs attention is the once a year servicing. The ride is so comfortable that I have always arrived feeling no stress from driving whether it is 2 hours, 4 hours or 8 hours of driving. It has been simply the very best and is so economical to operate. I get 34mpg to 38mpg on road trips. I sold it to a friend who drives it every day and it continues to perform beautifully. I replaced it with a used 2016 e class diesel with more safety electronics as well as all wheel drive. Mileage is even greater. Get 35 mpg in city traffic and up to 47 on the open road.

I have owned one ML, two C-Class, four E-Class, two SL-Class,and two S- Class. This is the best all-round Mercedes I have owned. (The best best was the 1997 S-600). This car is faster than most sedans, and the engine is really really quiet. No one who drives with me knows it is a diesel. I tell them it is a diesel after I snap their head back while getting on the highway. Most people don't know that while driving in 'comfort' mode, the car leaves a stopped position in second gear because of the high tourque level in this vehicle.
No turbo cooler

Had to replace engine at 40,000 miles at a cost of $ 23,000.00. There is no turbo cooler cooling the turbo after engine shutoff of a long drive. The turbo literally explodes while the car is parked raining its parts all over the engine. Unbelievable that MB designers could put this car into production without a cooler. As the car was out of warranty MB/Penske refused any accommodation as far as cost is concerned. Would you buy another MB product??

Great car. Comfortable smooth, sports car handling, excellent craftsmanship incredible power. Not as quiet as the gas engine but very quiet for a diesel. You have to listen to hear it. I average 25mpg, as much as 38 mpg on the road. However the GPS stinks. It's the worst. Difficult to use and I dont need to find "border crossings" in the USA. Just buy a Garmin, a 100 times better. Problems: transmission tends to clunk into lower gear as you slow down. Had a 2005 Benz with the same problem. Price of diesel a negative. Hate the center console, holds nothing. Service very expense. I would however, buy this car again.
best business sedan

Unbelievable car< average of 28 MPG in city < up to 37 MPG on interstate ( still under 35 if pushed around 90MPH) Very aggressive acceleration just above 1700 RPM, excellent 7G transmission. could use sport package form E 350??? Reliable like real MB and very well made
