I have this car over a year. The previous owner probably knew things were getting preety expensive so he dumpt her on me. That's what he thought. Since I have this gal, I fancy everyday having a bit of sunshine and clowdy as well. Oh yes ! I changed to LED fronr lights, changed to chrome front grill. Special shiny black alloy wheels. Replaced to fancy head unit.. I think she reminds me of Reeperrbahn now. Costs a lot . Fun for few hours a day.

Just got this car for my 18th birthday, and I am in heaven. It handles like a dream, and there is no comparision with any other car in its class with regards to style.

Great Car - Mediocre Quality

The styling of this car both inside and out is excellent. MB seems to be losing their edge on quality. For a car just shy of $50,000, I would expect a vehicle put together much better. At 25,000 miles the dash lights have gone out, A/C fan has quit, windows do not fit tight (leak), door panels are coming unglued and the central locking system works intermittently. MB is still good on service. All of the above have been repaired (under warranty) and a nice new E-Class was provided while the repairs were done. However, I remember not so long ago when you bought a new MB you never had to deal with these type of problems.

Other than some fit and finish problems, and loose, flapping top cables under the headliner, this has been a superb automobile. It took a while to get the annoyances fixed, but I love this car.

This car definitely gets attention when I drive. If you really want attention, drop the Vario-roof while waiting at an intersection. To me, 192 horsepower engine with 200 ft. pounds of torque is plenty zippy for me. I like the short gearing since it provides more torque, which is what you want in U.S. (seeing how we have 60~70MPH speed limits.) There is no performance difference between the automatic and manual trannies. I've had the car for two years and I've never had so much fun. I play golf and I can pack 2 smaller golf bags -- Ping L8 bags -- into the trunk by placing woods on top of the bags (this is with the roof up, of course.)
