The most expensive junk I ever bought. Starting with poor delivery when the dealer scratch the entire clear coat and make it looks like two year old car. Sorry unless they were looking after me and they did it so I don't have to get upset when someone else will put a scratch on it. LOL. And now on top of it we getting all the recalls and the whole middle console broke. Great. DON'T BUY IT.

I have owned three Mercedes E-Class sedans and this is, by far the best. The styling is classic Mercedes, yet very up-to-date. The redesign of the instrumentation is excellent, greatly simplifying the number of buttons. Operation of the radio, navigation, telephone, etc. is easy after a short learning curve. The car is comfortable and has great touches, such as the active side support as one goes through a turn. My car has the basic turbocharged engine. It provides plenty of acceleration, especially when using sport mode when on-ramping a freeway. Great car.

A Very Strong 4-Cylinder

I love the way this car drives. I’ve enjoyed it now for 8,000 miles. I had a irritating vibration on the front dash that the dealer quickly resolved, but I’ve had no other problems. It’s a smooth, quiet ride with good get-up and go. I feel safe driving on ice-snowy roads. It took time to learn some of the tech features, but the videos helped. I’m impressed with all of the tech features. The trunk is a bit small, but works for two people. Overall, it’s a keeper.

This vehicle is absolutely beautiful and loaded with technology. A respectable head turner with aggressive yet conservative lines. The interior is second to none compared to other sedans in its class, and the ambient light never gets old , I never want to leave this cockpit. The only thing I would change about this car would be it’s speed. The four cylinder and 9-speed transmission is smooth and quick, but it’s missing something. Overall proud owner love my Big Body Benz !

2017 E-Class is best car to ride in

THe 2017 E-Class 300 is my sixth Mercedes and by far the most comfortable to drive and sit in as a passenger. Much seems to be said about the small trunk, but nobody mentions that the back seat fold down in all versions of the sedan, and that extra room helps transport a lot of stuff/gear. I personally go skiing in it and have extra long (205 cm) skies that fit just fine inside the car. Though the infotainment systems take time to get used to, the level of control/refinement is awesome. It took 2 hours to walk through the features (with dealer) after buying the car. But once set they are easy to find/use. Moving the drive from comfort to economy makes the car get over 30 MPG, even in the mountains of Colorado. I am always surprised going up Eisenhower tunnel when I notice how I am zipping by other cars struggling to make it up the 11,000 foot high tunnel. I am usually going 75 mph up the steep tunnel incline. When in the mode I set (sport engine, comfort body and sport steering) I zoom along better than my 6 cylinder on my last E350. Apple CarPlay works well, though I leave it on the Mercedes system a lot of the time. Overall this car feels luxurious like no other when you sit inside and all the time you are in the interior. If anything, the outside could use a little more style. Best car I have owned and best car to ride in, and I have ridden in all of the competitors. Update after 13,000 additional miles. We drove cross country with his car and were amazed at the comfort that the E300 provides. From Colorado to California and winding through several stages for 2,700 miles we averaged 32 MPG. When on a long stretch of the freeway I keep the car in “economy mode” while driving 78 MPH. With one long flat stretch I calculated 38 MPG. Still an awesome car at 21,000 miles.
