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.

This car since I leased it 3 moths ago had many electronic issues, the car was suppose to have accident prevention system which should stop when the car may have a colision if the driver doesn't stop . I have involved in minor accident as I didn't see the car on te dide front stopped suddenly while turning , obviously the car did not stop. I compainted to Mercedes USA and they claimed the car was working properly. So my question is how can they claim this as a safety features?! This was exactly the car was supposed to do, stop! This is a complete misrepresentation from Mercedes-Benz USA. The car also is too expensive for lease.

Superior styling, excellent technology, spacious interior, seats and ride more comfortable than prior E class, don't even notice the change from 6 to 4 cylinder in everyday driving but notice the mpg improvement. The only negatives I have noticed to date is the electric brake release can be glitchy and exterior noise.

Leased the red version of this car with Premium package. Brown interior. Pros: Voice activated navigation is incredible. Works 90% of the time the first time. I don't use Waze or Apple Carplay - the navigation is that good. Safe: Almost too safe. It prevents you from doing anything stupid like: Opening the door when the car is in Drive. It puts car in park. Backing up when the trunk is open. Nope. Rear cross traffic saved me from backing into a passing car in a parking lot. Literally stopped the car. It's incredibly quick for a daily driver. Sport mode is surprisingly fast around town. Rotary dial is great and the volume control next to it was a wise choice. Auto start stop is smoother than other cars I've driven. Wireless charging - How do all cars not have this by now? It's also in a place where I can't see the screen which is safe. This car is incredibly beautiful. The main screen is larger than anything else on the road. I find people just staring at the navigation it's so bright and colorful. Cons: Apple CarPlay. Plugging it in is one issue. Second, it crashes all the time. I think it's Apple's issue. The parking sensors are sensitive in a garage and loves to put on the brakes. I guess that's to be expected. Triples the time to get out of the garage (from 2 to 6 seconds). There is no leather smell. Leather is not standard. NFC sensor above the wireless charger is terrible. Keeps putting my iphone into apple pay mode when I put it in the slot to charge. This is the biggest issue of this car because it occurs every time I get into the car. The place you rest your palm when using the rotary dial is also touch sensitive. Sometimes it gets confused. This is more of a nit along the lines of being old. The parking brake is always on even while in Drive. At stop lights and so on the brake is on until you hit the gas. Once you get used to it, it's awesome. There is no rolling backward or forward.

This car has so many features for the money that I am thinking about going back to the dealer to offer them more money. I will probably resist that temptation.
