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.

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

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.
