The brakes screech badly, the blower motor had to be replaced, the windows don't work properly, and the engine is loud. I thought I was purchasing a quality vehicle. Guess not

Driven in comfort mode, regardless of speed, this car is a paragon of luxury: amazing seats, comfortable ride, near total silence. Flick the dynamic switch to sport plus and you get a fire breathing, curve slicing rocket that is as fast and swift handling as any road car has a right to be, the near silence replaced by an excellent engine tune that is loud enough not to be annoying! The car simply seems to hover over the pavement regardless how abruptly or hard its driven. There is no squat, nose dive or lean. The engine is powerful and responsive at any speed, the transmission seems to divine the right gear for seamless, effortless thrust! Fuel economy is very good for the level of performance, I have been achieving exactly the EPA estimates. The interior is simply superb, excellent materials and fit and finish. After you drive a car with dynamic seat bolsters everything seems a little less special. Even the rear seats are a very nice place to be. The command system is a huge improvement over the previous version of the system and works amazingly with the dual screen dash which offers HD level graphics. The additional AMG modes for both the screens and the heads up display add another layer of wow factor. The standard Burmester audio is excellent and fully appreciated given the almost anechoic chamber level quietness that the quiet comfort package provides. Definitely a home run from Mercedes Benz-AMG. 15000 mile update: Still thrilled with the E43. This far it has been flawless. The perfect 4 season sport sedan. We celebrated spring at Road America! m.youtube.com/watch?v=LcsYy6Gy1WA Update 2020: Still loving it. Zero issues. I have successfully calmed my impulses to trade for a new E63. The E 43 is still a more than worthy alternative to the full blown AMG Godzilla 😁

I loved my Mercedes E350, but my E300 is unsafe

The navigation on my E300 is so full of bugs that it's risky to use it. For example, when I take a route that the car did not intend, it has trouble adjusting. After I changed my route yesterday, it told me to make a right turn (and then discovering that a right turn was not possible, told me a few seconds later to make a left turn. I strongly recommend that Mercedes fix the navigation in all 2017 E300s before someone gets killed using their navigation. Mercedes should also encourage E300 customers who have iPhones to use Apple Car Play for navigation.

I bought this car in July and in less than one week the dashboard started rattling. Few weeks later, the check engine light came on with less than 80 miles. The car was at the dealership for more than three weeks and several trial-and-error attempts were made to repair the check engine light. Finally, they diagnosed the problem and it was repaired by replacing some computer parts and some components in the transmission. This problem should not have happened in any brand new car, especially in a luxury car. I have driven two loaner cars of the same model and they all had the dashboard rattling which is a manufacturing defect. This is my first Mercedes Benz and I am very disappointed with its quality and reliability. I have had a 2014 BMW 528i and several Japanese cars and never had these defects.

Command Module Fail and other issues

The first issue I have is the way the extras are packaged. If you want safety be prepared to pay a lot extra for what is standard on many other cars today. The biggest fail is the overpriced command center. The GPS is a complete joke but if you want other options you have to but it. Unreliable and inaccurate and overpriced. Required multiple return visits to the dealer (Manhattan Mercedes) to "fix" but I still use Waze on my cell phone as I simply don't trust the MB navigation system to a) get me to where I want to go and b) navigate me around traffic jams (yes I have Sirius for traffic). The command center user interface is so badly programmed that I simply don't bother using . Connecting my phone - I can't even upload all me contacts. Not enough memory. In this day and age how can anyone restrict the phone's memory? This is another feature I don't bother with. The much vaunted MBrace is another failure. My wife used it once an waited more than 4 hours for service when she hit a pothole and blew 2 tires in Manhattan and MBrace couldn't even locate her or were too lazy to look so they asked her what her location was. MB was so embarrassed that they paid for the wheel repairs. This leads me to the next problem - wheel repair. They did such a poor job that the car had to go back 4 times to get it fixed. What really ticked me off was the service reports that stated that the car was operating within MB specifications - MB must have pretty low standards! On the last visit it was finally fixed but MB delivered the car with paper strewn all over the passenger side and they left the paper floor mat for me to throw away. The last problem is on MB Manhattan poor quality control problem. When it comes to choosing a car I look at the not only the performance but at the creature comforts. Much like flying today. All reliable so I look at how much seat and overhead space I have, do I get a full can of diet Coke and a bag of pretzels and a skinny person next to me. So I look at MB the same way. The car is great and the engineering may be brilliant but so are BMW, Lexus, Audit and I take that as a given and then I look at the features like the Command Center and find that it is seriously lacking and this detracts significantly from my driving enjoyment. Be prepared to be frustrated by a clunky unreliable Command Center - it really sucks.
