I really like driving this car. Thank you, Edmunds, for helping me to decide to buy it. Bought a 2 year old E350 as a CPO.

Decent car and works great for what it's required for.. would have appreciated if MB had paid more attention to sound insulation . esp. after driving a V8 GL 450 gor the past few years, this seems to have a lot more road noise. The heatinga nd cooling seem to take a lot of time to kick in when compared to other luxury brands

Prior to buying my 2016 Mercedes E350, my last Mercedes was the W210 version, that being a 2000 E320 4-Matic wagon. That was a beautiful car, and it did everything well. Once I had my car shopping narrowed down to a W212, 2016 E350 4-Matic sedan, I needed to take three test drives in it because it was so different from my W210 Mercedes. Mostly I was bothered by the ride. It wasn't a nice soft ride like my former Mercedes that absorbed bumps and bad road surfaces yet handled well. The 2016 E350 has a stiff ride, and I was put off by it. It was OK enough during expressway driving, so I bought it. Not long after I realized that Mercedes-Benz had made many changes to the E-Class that by-and-large weren't OK with me. For one, the 3.5 V-6 had a lot more power than the 3.2 V-6 and it used more gas and is far more powerful than I needed. Between that and the stiff ride, I started referring to it as a Camaro sedan. Or a 4-door Camaro. On a service visit my salesman had seen me and asked how I liked the new car. I said it's a 4-door Camaro, and he was aghast. This 2016 is my fifth MB and one thing I can say about Mercedes-Benz is that I can choose any given model having the smallest engine they offer in it, and they always have more power than I need. Other changes I noticed that Mercedes had done in the transition from the W210 E Class to the W212 E Class, was a general cheapening of the interior. The materials, though nice, weren't as luxurious or at a high-grade as the earlier model. Examples being, the fabric used to trim off the door opening, the carpeting, and a lack of seat cushioning. So too, more plastics implemented in the dash panel and the interior door trim. They don't rattle, in fact the car doesn't have any rattles, but the excess of plastics when pushed upon, make plasticky creaking sounds, such as when pushing the door open to exit. And there has been a cheapening of the switch gear, the signal light lever, the cruise control lever, and the lever to operate the power tilt and telescoping steering wheel. All have been replaced with fully plastic levers/knobs and they just don't work as nicely as they had for years in the MBs I've had. That's going back to my first MB, a 1982 300D Turbo Diesel. The worst part about this change has been that the levers on the left side of the steering wheel are now crowded-in and it's easy to operate the wrong lever. An example of that is even having owned this car now and then I'll signal a left turn when I wanted to increase the speed of the cruise control. I'm sure the switch gear changes were due to lowering costs, but in that they lost the perfection that was had for years. While this W212 car is a nice car I'm still finding things that have cheapened. One holiday season, I set off with two relatives for a Christmas lights drive. A few days later I was talking to my cousin who had occupied the back seat that night, and she said that while she likes my car that back seat was hard as a stadium bench. And that she had been in pain from it being so hard, grateful to get out when we had reached her home. I had no idea, I thought that was awful and very un-Mercedes-Benz like. I'm saddened that Mercedes has made changes for the worse to the E-Class and I think there are a lot of disappointed people as I have been, because the E-Class is their biggest seller worldwide. It doesn't make sense to me when they had that series perfect. Perhaps MB wants all of their customers to move up. The next time I'm car shopping I'll test drive the E-Class again. And if Mercedes hasn't changed it back to being a nicely made and comfortable car again, I'll reluctantly try an S-Class. And if I become angry enough, such as if the S-Class has been ruined too, or the cost for an S-Class has become ridiculously high, I'm going over to Genesis and see about their G90 model. That's supposed to be a comfortable and well-made car. I'd have never thought that the South Koreans would know comfort but after reasonably comfortable ride in one of their inexpensive Hyundai Sonata's I'm sure that their Genesis G90 is truly comfortable luxury car. I'm not saying that the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a bad car, but for any of us used to MBs legacy of wonderful mid-sized cars, I am saying to be sure to look over their new or newer cars, and if need be, take three test drives.

Handles really well in all conditions, and with the right tires, even through a Vermont winter. I have a 2012 and have had a very good experience with it and with our great dealership in Vermont. Automaster. 55,000 miles and not a single repair. This 2016 is the last year for this platform and I wanted to get a low mileage, lightly used one to last me the next ten years and keep both of us safe through our Vermont winters.
