Absolutely, hands down, the best all around "sports" car I have owned, and I have owned Porsche's, Corvettes, Infiniti's, Mustangs, and others. Bought it the same day it rolled off the truck at the dealer. It was (still is) beautiful, sporty, smooth, comfortable, and a pleasure to drive. Plus, the engine, 4.7 V8 twin turbo, is so sweet. As someone else said, it is a "wolf in sheeps clothing". It is smooth, pretty agile, comfortable, and gets 30mpg on the highway at the speed limit and above. The a/c cuts about 2mpg off, but 28mpg is still pretty darn good, and at 75mph and cool a/c blowing. It is fast stock.... but have the computer reprogrammed and it becomes a virtual rocket ship. A whole new car is beneath your right foot. Sport mode at 35mph, mash the throttle and the back wheels break loose. It becomes that "wolf", with sharp fangs. The tune raised it to right at 500hp, huge amounts of torque and raised the speed limiter to 187mph. I've had it to 150 and it was pulling like it was just getting started. And, at highway speeds it is like any stock E550 and still gets 20-30 mpg. I have 29k on the odo and never will sell it.

Unreliable Emission Control System
i have a 2013 E350 BlueTech Sedan. Has been driving this car since new, Vehicle has been serviced regularly at the Mercedes Dealers. At 52000 miles, Tail pipe began to blow smoke. Took it to the Mercedes Dealer at El Cajon, CA First diagnostic, Nox sensors failure. All 3 Not sensors replaced. Problem still exists, so AdBlue Injection valve was replaced, and then AdBlue tank was replaced. How is it possible that 5 components failed at the same time, at 52000 miles. The first 4 items are not covered by warranty. AdBlue tank was covered by Mercedes. They call it "Good Will" although tank is warrant for 7 years or 70,000 miles in the book. Is this the case of "trial & error" method to diagnose the problem, or are these components so unreliable? Replacement of the first 4 items - $2800. Does any one have this problem. Mercedes called me after I returned the survey. I gave Royce (MB) my feedback. Good conversation but I have not heard what their internal investigation reveals, or this is a case of just chit chat. Should I be concerned about what the next breakdown of the emission control system. Does anybody has this problem with the BlueTech emission system? Update At 53000+ miles, tail pipe smoked again, and no power when going uphill between Riverside and San Diego on I 15. Dealer replaced catalytic converter and mufflers under warranty. At 54000+ mile, smoke was detected under the car. Problem - oil pan gasket was leaking. Oil pan an gasket replaced at my cost. It is so unreliable that I would drive this car within the distance covered by the AAA member towing allowance. This car has gone back to dealer 3 times between 52000 and 54000 miles Resale for this car tanked. So I will keep this car and keep the public know the maintenance cost in the future. Really bad for Mercedes Brand.

Great car...so far
My E350 coupe is a great car. Build is excellent, fun to drive, gorgeous exterior and interior. Have had numerous compliments from other drivers and I always look forward to driving the Benz. Overall mileage almost 22 mpg plus all the electronic gadgets you could want.
Could Be Greatly Improved!
Recently retired and wanting something less expensive to operate, my Audi A8 was no longer under warranty and would be expensive to repair. After1 month I can say that this is a nice driving car but the COMAND system and voice recognition is vastly inferior to the Audi MMI. Such systems have become integral to todays driving experience defining to a large extent how the driver interacts with the car. MB COMAND requires much more input to navigate the menus than Audi. The voice recognition seems less intelligent and reliable compared to my past Audi experience. COMAND may have a shorter learning curve but will require more effort to operate than MMI. Miss parking assist.
7 years old and looks like it’s new
This car is amazing. It still drives quiet and smooth. Absolutely a joy to drive.
