My 2014 was T-bone totaled. I bought a 2021 E350. I add details about it, but suffice it to say that the 2014 (W212) was preferable. Also, if you can't find a W212, go for a 02018-2020 because the 2021 forward have these annoying touch controls which misfire a lot. For the 2014, I wouldn't buy one without the options ,....I added $15K in options and am very happy I did - Premium package, Lighting, Sport, Parking assist, Driver assistance, AMG wheels, Massage drivers seat, and surround vision (Eagle Eye).. The most important of these for me is driver assistance (DISTRONICS). DISTRONICS option was hard to find on other cars, but makes the miles go quickly and adds safety. One big difference is that DISTRONIX adds a bunch of pre-crash and post-crash safety features. It's probable one of the reasons that Mercedes has so few "Drivers death rates". https://www.iihs.org/ratings/driver-death-rates-by-make-and-model d I get 31 mpg on long trips, and 20 around the suburbs. Eight years now and not a single repair needed. Probably won't get a new one because the new E class (2017 forward) does not have/offer a spare tire nor a CD player. I've had 2 flats and used the donut spare on both. I had run flats on my small 2010 BMW 135i and was not satisfied with a flat tire experience. Also the run flats give a harsh ride - hard to find replace/service. Larger BMW and Audi and Genesis still have spare tires options. I'll test drive those for my next buy.

If you can, order the active multi contour driver's seat. It makes driving a real pleasure. The 40 plus mpg highway adds to the experience. Diesels are making quite a resurgence in the states, and for good reason. The suspension on the Luxury truly provides a much smoother ride than the Sport model. I highly recommend it and, at a minimum, try to drive both before you buy. It is becoming more difficult to find this type of "your father's" luxury car ride. Look no farther than this automobile. Buy one and enjoy the ride! Update as of 4/15/2016 -- Since I penned my original review, my statement regarding a resurgence of diesel cars in the states has taken a turn for the worse, given Volkswagen's troubles with testing. As recently as this week, Mercedes has come under scrutiny for exactly the same testing problems which falsely yield better mpg and emissions than reality might suggest. I will be pretty furious with Mercedes Benz if they were involved with this controversy. I purchased my car with the environment in mind and will feel deceived if they mishandled this ethical issue. Update as of 4/14/2017 -- Not much more to add. There is a second battery in the back of the car that is responsible for certain functions ( my favorite of which is the auto stop where you tap the brakes a second time and they stay on without your foot being on the pedal....great for long stop lights and hills), in any case that battery failed and was replaced under warranty. The ride is still very smooth and people still comment on how much they love the looks of the car!! Update as of 10/19/2017 -- Although the ride of the car still remains quite good, there is an option for air suspension costing around $2000 on the newer models about which Edmunds has written positive remarks. If I were to buy a new E class, I would add that feature.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E550 2dr Coupe (4.7L 8cyl Turbo 7A)

E550 coupe beautiful to look at and super light on its feet. Sleek and such a head turner I've only seen one other in my large city in 3 months. What I don't like- I hate the Eco mode and that it can't be turned off permanently. It's smooth as silk when riding in comfort mode- you hardly notice it but if you are like me and like to drive it in sports mode you won't be happy. It's a obvious feeling/ sound. I now just turn it off nearly every start because I mainly drive I. The city and it's just annoying to have it power down each stop. Internet radio is a waste- it takes like 5 min to get a signal and forget changing the Chanel it has to reload all over again.

I bought my E350 from my Local Mercedes dealer last November with 27K miles on it. It is so nice that they had it in the showroom with the new ones! I have owned several Mercedes cars and SUV's during my lifetime but I enjoy this one more than all the others. It drives and handles like an SL but has the benefit of a back seat and lots of cargo space in the trunk. Fuel economy on a recent1,000 mi. road trip was 32.5 mpg at an average speed of 80 mph. Amazing! I took it to a reputable tuner before the road trip and he tweaked the computer to give it another 61 HP, so now it's really quick. Love my black beauty!!! Best car ever. No, it's never going to be for sale. You owe it to yourself to go get one!

By Far The Best Car I've Owned

This is my third Mercedes-Benz, but my first E Class (I am coming from owning two C Class 4Matic models). While the C was reliable and comfortable, I now understand why the E Class is always described as THE quintessential Mercedes-Benz. Even in the 350, there is an abundance of power, yet the car shifts and rides so smoothly; this car is consistently comfortable and enjoyable in which to drive and ride. As far as styling, I feel like Mercedes nails it. Other cars in this class either seem to go too modern, and the interiors end up looking like some Frankenstein monstrosity, or too conservative and stodgy. The E Class is a perfect blend of modern tech amenities and understated elegance; I love little touches like the analogue time piece in the center dash. I have seen others complain about the use of the COMAND system, but personally I find it very intuitive and user-friendly. While I am averaging about 29.0 MPG, I have achieved as much as 40.0 MPG on the highway, a nice perk I was not really expecting when buying the car. Also, even though I bought CPO with 28500 miles, the car looks, rides and smells brand new (always a great idea to find a CPO that was a personal lease; at 3 years old and with much of the depreciation hit already taken, I saved about 30K off MSRP). I've had this car for a year and a half now, and I continue to look forward to each time I get behind the wheel.
