6th Mercedes - Very Impressed

2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 2dr Convertible (3.5L 6cyl 7A)
15 of 16 people found this review helpful
This is my 6th Benz since '88, and my 4th convertible. It is a major step up from the 2 CLK's I owned (03 and 05), and it is, naturally, much more car than the 07 SLK I traded in for this one. The quality of all the interior materials and finishes is excellent, the top works smoothly and quickly, and when closed it rides extremely quietly for a soft-top. The navigation system is vastly improved over the horrible SLK system I endured for 3+ years (which was an insult at over $2K), and, surprise!, the Germans have figured out cup-holders finally! But seriously, it is a solid, extremely well built car.
Highly impressed after 12,000 miles

I have owned the E350 sedan for a year and a half and alternate it between a 2009 S550 and a 2007 BMW 530i. I live in Costa Rica where the roads consist of endless pot holes and hap-hazard patches with undulating curves and steep inclines. The E350 has proven to be a very capable car and is the one I choose for the twisty mountain roads. It is not outright sporty, but extremely agile and confident on the curves and absorbs the rough surfaces without completely isolating the driver, no simple feat considering the coil suspension. The engine and transmission make short work of passing and climbing steep hills and the brakes don't exhibit fade on long downhill treks. Overall, highly impressed.

2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 BlueTEC 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 7A)

Wonderful car for the intended purpose; very happy with the purchase. A most relaxing ride; very comfortable & supportive seats and least amount of road noise I have experienced in a car. Have the premium 2 and sports package. Got 46mpg with cruise control going 71mph on a road trip; around town average ~30. Get well over 500 miles per tank of diesel. Stereo system overall is fantastic, navigation system is a much needed improvement over previous generation and is very good. Engineering is what is expected; best in class trunk size when trunk closes engineered to not pinch the luggage! All season floor mats a must for us; cost extra but are great. Bluetooth works fine & easy to set up.

I have had this car since 5-2011 and have now put 15,000 miles on it. It's solid, fits me like a glove, handles well, if not like a sports car and has all the bells and whistles I need. I added the luxury package, steering wheel, dynamic seating (a must have) and the P2 package. Fuel mileage has been almost 32 overall and 36-39 HWY. The DEF fluid is no big deal. Buy at most gas stations or car parts stores for $12 for 2.5gals. I think I have added 5 gals total (maybe 7.5). Big deal. M-B will scalp you if they put it in but it's simply filling a tank. Love the car and not one issue.
Amazing vehicle, but Mercedes forgot a few things

I have owned this MB E350 for almost 3 years and bought it privately with 84,000 miles and it now has close to 150,000. This one had all the bells and whistles on it from the first owner. I am the third owner. Massaging driver seat, sports package with Distronic Plus cruise control, panoramic sunroof, etc. For the long trips this car is the one to have as it practically drives itself. Smooth ride and quiet inside, in spite of it being a diesel. Some reviews by the pros say it is slow off the gate, but I have not found that to be the case for it being a sedan. Miles per gallon on a recent trip was 36 MPG on over 400 miles and with a 21+ gallon tank, your range is exceptional. I have been able to hit a high of 40 MPG on almost all highway miles and don't ever recall having my lowest below 23 MPG. If you own this vehicle you will need to have a good foreign mechanic, who may end up being your best friend, as you will spend a good amount of time with him/her and probably help support their 401K and children's educations. I still love this car and plan on keeping this car and am religious about servicing it on schedule, but have tracked its overall costs over the years and have had what I believe are general wear issues such as replacing engine mounts, alternator and belt pulleys, brakes and nox sensors. The real bug even the Dealer has not been able to handle is the constant check engine light, relating to the EGR valve. This is a real pain if you want to have a clear cluster on your instrumentation, but now I have just come to live with it. The Dealership actually stopped returning my calls, so I am assuming this is something MB does not care to deal with and I have seen no recalls related to it. Remember: Parts and Labor can be a huge gouge out of your bank account when owning one of these cars, but they are a pleasure to drive!
