Love it, but have some concerns
This beautiful car was delivered to me directly from Germany. Brand new from the factory. Ordered it loaded with options; all leather interior, wood and leather steering wheel, ventilated seats, Burmester sound system etc. The first thing that was pointed out to me by the dealership was the scratch on the hood. Yes, there was a scratch that happened during shipping. I wasn't pleased but of course they're going to fix it. Upon arriving at home with the new car I noticed that the driver's seat did not move back and the seatback actually pushed me forward into the steering wheel when I turned the car off. I was shocked when this happened, as the seatback angle was quite extremely angled toward the wheel. I worked with the "easy enter/exit" settings to no avail. This thing was malfunctioning no matter what I did. The car has been to the dealership twice for this problem and it is STILL not fixed. I finally gave up and turned off the enter/exit function. So now I have to manually slide the seat back when getting in and out of the car. The seat memory function seems to be working now although it was initially hit and miss. Despite the glitches in this new car, I think it's beautiful and I love almost everything else about it. I am still hoping that a solution will be found for this annoying problem. Having driven a Lexus for 7 years prior to the Mercedes, I was used to reliability and perfection. Never expected a new car, especially a Mercedes, to have problems like this. On the positive side, the car is quiet and luxurious on the inside with user friendly technology.

2020 E450 4MATIC SEDAN - A Diamond In The Rough!
I've owned many Mercedes Benz vehicles because they are solidly built, dependable and possess the latest safety and technology features. My lease was up on my 2018 S450 so I decided on the E450 4MATIC Sedan. I picked it up on May 4th, 2020. What a car! The first noticeable attribute was the razor sharp cornering and handling with unbelievable acceleration and power. The responsiveness of the car to driver input is phenomenal. My car is fully loaded with Driver's Assistance, Exterior Lighting, Parking Assistance, AMG, Premium, Panorama Roof, 19" AMG Wheels/Tires Packages. Impressive array of technology coupled with a smart phone app that provides huge amounts of data about the vehicle (Mercedes Me Connect). I love this car! Seats are comfortable and visibility outstanding. It is quieter than one would think for a 362 hp twin turbo V6 engine and performance all season run flat tires. Audio system is terrific with HD AM/FM tuning as well as Apple Car Play for hands-free control over music. The styling is more like a baby S Class Sedan with LED front and rear lights. I recommend a test drive in an E350 and then an E450 to truly appreciate the superiority of the E450 4MATIC (AWD). This is truly a vehicle made for a driver who appreciates a car that fits like a glove. I have owned this car for 7 months now and have 3900 miles on the odometer. I have not had to bring the car in to the service department in all these months except to change windshield wipers that tend to “chatter” in heavy, consistent rain. The problem remains to be a nuisance to me, but there are no satisfactory solutions to this problem after many visits to service to alleviate this annoying anomaly. The vehicle remains to be the best handling and most powerful car I have ever owned. The technology and safety features have kept me out of potentially dangerous situations such as backing out of a parking space and having the car brake automatically when an oncoming car or pedestrian approaches from the left or right rear of the car. The blind spot monitors have worked impeccably when on the interstate or on local highways. The advanced technology requires a tremendous learning curve to master (about 2-3 weeks) due to the various settings and adjustments, however well worth the time and patience as the results are amazing. The maneuverability of the car is truly awesome - it quickly responds to driver input and manages its way beautifully in heavy traffic. Acceleration is outstanding with the bi-turbo 362 hp V6 engine. Accessing the many technical and audio features via the controller or voice activation is well appreciated as is the advanced GPS system. In summary, I continue to enjoy this vehicle immensely.

E-Class Mercedes
The car met all my expectations. Having owned one before I was impressed with the updates they have made over the years. Smooth ride with all the toys.
From Toyota to the E-Class
I am sure it is easy to be impressed going from a Toyota to a MB E-Class. I keep my vehicles for 9+ years before I move on to a new vehicle. Toyota reliability is why I have been buying Toyotas since 1975. Now it is time for us to move up to a quiet, comfortable sedan. I have spent a year reviewing articles for "quiet" cars. I thought my research would have me in a Lexus ES (Hybrid). We drove the Genesis G-90, (nice car, but huge) then the Lexus ES. The Lexus dealer told us the ES was their quietest vehicle since the GS had been discontinued for 2021. We were very disappointed with the ES. It had the typical wind noise we lived with in our Toyotas. We were very disappointed. The interior was OK for top of the line Avalon, but not for a $55k luxury vehicle. I succumbed to realizing our search would probably lead us into the German luxury segment. We made an appointment to test drive a 2020 E Class E-350. My wife and I were halfway into our test drive and talking about how the E-350 met our needs. The vehicle is a service loaner with 5k miles on the odometer. The dealer made a satisfactory offer on the vehicle and we drove it home the next day. I am not too sad we didn't get to the Audi A6 and the BMW series, but we knew we had found our car. We have now had it two weeks and added several hundred miles and we are continuing to learn more about the capabilities available in the digital programs. What I like about the vehicle is the quiet, comfortable ride, the Burmester sound system and the 12.3" multimedia system to control nearly every system in the vehicle (including the ability to operate it from the steering wheel).

Worst Car I have ever owned.
I am 71 years old and have purchased many cars in my life. As a special treat for my retirement I leased a high end Mercedes E450 (MSRP over $80,000). Took three trips with the car, broke down each time. When I hit 70 mph, it felt like I was driving a school bus. The one time I took it to service they fixed the transmission. The next time they said it was the wheels (paid $600 to have wheels straightened and that did no good. Finally, they said it was the tires. I had already changed the run flat tires two times because of bubbles in them. It got to the point where I was afraid of driving it. And then, to top it all off, the lease-end process was a complete nightmare. They clearly raked me over the coals. This was the worst car I have ever owned and the worst car buying experience. Buyer beware!
2020 MB E-450
I currently drive an 11 MB E350 and an 08 CLS 550. About 2 weeks ago I had my E350 in he shop for service and last week I had the CLS 550 being serviced. 2 weeks ago, the dealership gave me new E350 to drive. I enjoyed it, however, last week they gave me a new E-450, big difference and I enjoyed it waayy more than the E350, its quicker, more comfortable, I like to surprise the youngsters driving Chargers and Camaros sometimes. I like my E350 but I've always wished that I bought an E-550. I really want a new S560 but my retirement account is not where I want it yet so I could be happy with E-450 and placing the difference in my retirement account.

2020 E350
I went from a E350 to a GLE now back to the car. The 2020 is super. I was going to scale down but after looking at the infinity, Audi,BMW they don’t compare. I got one with all the packages, GRET looking, great performance
A Car with Soul
The transporter on Star Trek could not be more comfortable, classy and safe. My E350 handles curves, hills and obstacles like it was a part of me. Driving is effortless and fun to drive.
