This is my third Benz; I like it very much. While it is over a decade old, the previous owner was very good about care and maintenance so it is in very good shape. It is a high-end luxury car so the power and handling isn't what you'd expect from a sports car but it moves when it needs to and it handles very well, especially with the 4-wheel drive. I used to commute quite a ways every work day and it made that a pleasant experience; now if it could only do something about the other drivers on the road, it would be perfect! Oddly enough, it is often a boring experience; there just isn't a lot of tweaking and fiddling with controls to do. You mostly set things and they just work. Lots of nice little touches that are now standard on lesser cars (interior lights that fade out; exterior lights that stay on a bit so you can see your way, dual zone climate control, etc.). I was wary of the "new" styling but I really like it now; the current crop of Benzs look like the standard melted jelly beans.

I drive about 400 miles each and every week. This car has been faultless in every way. Mileage is around 30 MPG freeway. Very comfortable and the amenities are well thought out and actually useful. I bought this as the second owner and now have about 115,00 miles on it. The TV commercial with the big baby which turns out to be the guy's car, makes complete sense to me...I really understand how someone can truly feel so good about their automobile. I Love This Car!

Bought my E55 AMG 2 years ago with 62K miles. Replaced all belts, fluids, spark plugs, engine mounts, a seal, etc...Since then it's only needed gas, oil and Tires. This car is a beast!! Unbelievable power, very aggressive look, Great gas mileage for what it is (drove from Houston to Florida at 80-100 mph and averaged 25.8 mpg!!! If you find one, invest in the up front preventative maintenance and enjoy!! I highly recommend this vehicle

GREAT CAR! My first Benz, but won't be my last. Bought used 5 years ago, have only had 2 minor mechanical repairs and regular maintenance (brakes, tires, oil chg). Very comfortable to drive, V6 with plenty of power and 28mpg highway.

I owned a 2001 E320 and drove it for four years before trading it in. the car was quick from the start and performed very well. I had to constantly replace the brake lamps and turn signal lamps about every two months which was frustrating. All parts of course are very expensive. I had to replace the right and left side catylic converter which each one was a $1,000.00 each including labor.
