I purchased this car in October. It's now June 30th. My car is currently in the MB service dept. It has been there this time so far 19 days!!! The car has been back to service dept. at least 7 times since I have gotten the car. Had to be towed once. There is some kind of a major issue with this car that they are unable to figure out. Since I got the car, when I put it in reverse to back out of my parking spot, it sounds like metal is being torn apart. each time the replace things thinking they resolved the problem. I get the car back and a day or 2 later it all starts again. Not only that, but each time they find something else wrong with the car!!! This is unbelievable that a car of this expense has caused me nothing but aggravation every time I get in it!!!!

The 2017 E300 is my 9th MB and I have always had great experiences with these vehicles until now. The car itself is beautiful and comfortable but from DAY ONE the technology has been an awful experience. The primary problem is the "Live Traffic" overlay on navigation. From delivery it took almost two months to get it to work consistently. When the problem was finally "resolved" it still worked intermittently meaning there were one day periods each week when it did not work. Recently it stopped working, again, and has not worked at all for two weeks. Mbrace, MD's customer service program (which costs $285/year!) has been absolutely useless in solving the problem, telling me to go to the provider, Sirius. Wait a minute... I paid MB for the car, I paid MB for Brace and you are telling me to do the legwork to call YOUR supplier?? BTW, Sirius totally useless in solving the problem as well. Another issue is how long it takes for the Command infotainment system to boot upon starting the car. The squirrels inside have to wake up I guess. This is Mercedes Benz?? So, I am done. This is the last Mb I will own. Buyers beware.

only have the car a couple of weeks, less than a thousand miles. this is primarily my wife's car and I have not heard ONE complaint since she started driving it, quite the opposite. so that alone makes it a great buy. we had the homelink problem but the dealer fixed it in about an hour. i pretty much like everything about this car except it could probably use the v6. it's actually got me thinking about trading in my range rover sport for an mb estate. takes a bit of time to get the interfaces down, but once you start getting it it's not that bad.

A disappointing surprise

I have previously owned three MB E-Class cars, with complete satisfaction. Now comes the new E-Class with impressive design and high tech features, but a very disappointing engine. The acceleration is poor and it runs out of steam above 80 mph. The options list is large and can bring the price, with a V-6, to the mid eighties. I ended up buying a Lexus LS 460, a far superior car in every way, for a lot less money.

Lots of technology but the interface falls flat... most of the functions of the car require you to look away from the road in order to activate them or shut them off. I also own a BMW and their technology is (most of the time) centered around the driver and are much easier to use.
