Emissions system had recalled, fixed 12years later
When I purchased my car I was pleased for a while, until the engine light started turning on all the time. Emissions Sensors were very bad and I had them replaced (4x 2.5K) in 2 years. Even with this huge uncommon expenses I was okay because everyone I know says that mercedes is an expensive car to maintain... well, in 10 years I spent close to 25K and after having the emissions system replaced I could really feel the power of the engine (12 years later). Not sure if I was dumb for keeping the car for such a long time or just unlucky... anyway, I am relieved I traded it in and got a new car from another make. I DO NOT recommend a MB to an enemy much less to a friend.

Perfect for me
Bought this used from a private seller. 50,000 miles. No scratches, chips etc…perfect paint. Replaced both low beam bulbs. Cruise control is so easy to use unlike my wife’s lexus. The MB handles better than my BMW 3 series and is quieter, more comfortable than the Lexus RX 350. 24+ mpg on the highway. Spirited acceleration but not a sports car. I’m retired and enjoying it! I didn’t drive the car during the winter. She’s now back on the road and I’m still smiling. Update 10/5/25…now have 68,000 miles. Absolutely no issues but it’s due for servicing

The "Everything" Car
We needed all wheel drive, sedan, cush options, and enough "go" to keep us both interested. The E550 has it all, and is a blast to drive! Maintenance is a little pricier than other Luxury brands. It's solid and stately, as my last 4 M-B's were. Truly a great automobile.
Wow
New E350 Cabriolet 5 Jul. Have been on short trip of 230 mi. Car rides as smooth as 2010 E350 Sport Sedan; maybe because of different suspension. To early to rate mpg but seems to be above rating - I have replaced air filters w/K&N air filters - made big difference on sedan. So far car is solid for a convertible (more so than previous 09 CLK; trunk above adequate w/top down. Performance typical of 350 series. Only negative comment, when p/u'd car the Sirius component of radio not working. Have to order a new module. Isn't this something that should have been caught @ inspection. Had some QC issues on 10 E350 Sedan. Overall, terrific so far.
ICK! ICK!
I had this 2011 E 550 for one week. It died in my garage.I had to get it towed away after 5 days. Never again. The map and street address was not decipherable. Never again!,
