Over all I'm happy with the car. The only thing is when going on bumpy roads you feel a lot of vibrations.

I love this s car. It’s the 4th MB I’ve owned. It has powerful V6, double turbo, RWD. Comfortable, fast and smooth. Totally recommended.

2017 E Class Benz is Still Perfect Just Like Me!

7 years later, and my Mercedes Benz E Class continues to be perfect, just like me! This is a Baby S Class but with more technology. Any complaints you read with any of these reviews about the small engine size has come from men with small engines of their own, and need a larger car engine to compensate for what they lack in human horse power. This engine is quick, fast, quiet, and gets great gas mileage. The interior of this Mercedes E Class is what really sets it apart from a BMW 5 Series, Lexus, and Audi. There is no comparison, as the class and WOW FACTOR that this car exudes will make BMW 5 Series owners cringe even more with their Mercedes Benz jealousy than they normally do. The over 12 inch navigation screen and 64 color ambient lighting that run throughout the front and back of the car are simply stunning. If you are looking to drive the best of the best, and like to watch your neighbors drop their jaw when you pull in your driveway, purchase an E Class and set yourself apart from the rest of the pack, just like me!

I drove the new E class as I was contemplating a new lease deal. Unfortunately, this new E class with the 4 cylinder turbo engine was not as good as it's ancestor. The old sport 4 door E350 with the larger six cylinder engine was larger, quicker, quieter, had a better ride. IMHO the new E300 was a disappointment. For a car which lists over $50,000 leather seats were not even standard (they had vinyl seats called leatherette). Not what you would expect in a car of this class. I did read Consumer Reports prior to test driving the E300 and I would agree with their objective 50 test assessment.The E300 was not a top 10 luxury car selection. On their suggestion I am presently deciding between a Infiniti Q70 and a Lexus GS350. Both are very RELIABLE and are fun to drive. IMHO, every car has its quirks but you just don't too many of them. Read CONSUMER REPORTS then do some driving before you lease/buy.

Not as advertised "a supercomputer on wheels".

I bought the 2017 during the first week it was available in the US and now have 23k miles on the car. Overall, I like the way it drives and have been getting great gas mileage - in line with the published targets. The con's: My trim package that was advertised as having every available semi-autonomous feature. Pre-release, I even saw MB sponsored internet demonstrations with this car parking itself via the remote app while the driver stands outside. Beware, this car is not capable of keeping itself in a lane without constant support and is not, therefore, semi-autonomous. The dealer no longer provides updates on when I will be able to park it remotely via the phone app. Even a feature as simple as the MB remote starting feature has worked less than 50% of the time over the past 2 years with countless updates performed to the app. Each time the app is updated, a stated reason is to improve stability and availability of the remote starting system. As others have stated, nothing about the interface is intuitive or easy for a driver to operate and the voice response system feels like a bad joke from the 1990's. Come on Mercedes, hire some talent from Google to take over the cars user experience programming and software quality control before its too late! Overall experience: underwhelmed.
