S550 performance at an E550 price tag!

My first MB and I now understand all the hype surrounding German engineering. The attention to details, the technology, brute performance, and respectable handling and braking for a luxury sports sedan. It will take a top of the line S600 or E65 to pass you and cost a whole lot less. I really enjoy all the conveniences and I am quickly getting a handle on the voice activated Command System. Keyless Go really is a nice feature. The AMG sport package really adds a nice touch. Operating the 7 speed auto via FI style paddle shifters really makes it feel like a performance vehicle. The safety features are not to be ignored. A fun car to drive!

Looking at Consumer Reports, I was very concerned with the reliabilty of purchasing a MB as 2004-2006 quality rating were dismal. However, my wife always wanted a Benz and glad we did! Car rides and drives like a dream. Best brakes and overall very solid. It's been 18 months with +20k miles without any incident other than having the oil changed.

I now have a little over 3k miles. Very responsive on the road. I like all the features. Tried other cars like the BMW 5 series, can't compare. This ride is smooth, great sound system, and surprisingly good gas mileage for a v6. I'm very happy with my first MB.

We just bought our 08 E 350 and I must say that it is a great car. We looked at the Lexus GS, and BMW 5 series before making our decision. We did a 2 yr lease and when I looked at the Lexus the residual value was 51% and the E class had a 68% value. What a great deal. We love the car, it drives amazing and looks so sleek.

I traded up from a (06) CLK 350 in the spring of "09". Love the car with the exception of two minor issues. Firstly is the impossible task of keeping the mags clean, drives me crazy. The other is dripping of water into the trunk when the body os wet, either from the weather or just washing.Minor issue bur when you spend this kind of money you would expect these issues to have been solved.
