1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 4 Dr E320 Sedan
Review
This 99 E 320 had 6500 miles on it when purchased.We have have averaged around 10,000 mi. per yr. and 32 MPG or better on hwy. Recommended scheduled maintenance by MB certified tech and that is it.What more could you ask for?????
Favorite Features
Nice looking,good handling,good ride,easy to park,ample room inside , just a good all around automobile. I compared prices for average replacement parts and labor against competition and found that the other European as well as the Japanese were comparable in price, some even higher. Check it out.
Suggested Improvements
If you want more of a performance type, try the E 320 (sport model) as the E 320 will only run about 130-135 mph! As Lee Ioacco once said " If you can find a better car, buy it". Nuff said.
Multiple repairs on my E320

Review
Ownership experience has cost thousands more than the purchase price. I would not buy this car or another Mercedes Benz if I could have a do over. AC has been replaced twice. Control modules have been replaced. Sun roof had a terrible leak with multiple repair attempts. The sun roof would open on its own. The windows would go down on their own. The car alarm would even go off in my enclosed garage.
Favorite Features
Don't have one. Favorite feature will be the day it becomes some one elses money pit.
Suggested Improvements
Fix the car!
Hunk of Junk

Looks pretty, but everything around the engine has fallen off or broken. The repair costs have been outrageous a real nightmare of a car. Stay clear of it.

Needs to go back to the design. What a junk of a car.

Review
My 5th MB diesel (170/190/220/300 (1975)), bought new and kept almost 10 yrs. The 99 the only disappointing one, a pleasure to drive, but very disappointing quality, rust (repainted a few times by MB, but it is back 2 years later)and many electric and various problems that just should never have happened, wheel bearings, generator, mirrors, CD changer, lampsockets, sliding roof, airconditiong etc. For the money we spend every year with MB Toronto on maintenance (incidentally, excellent service, pricey, but no hassles !) I could lease another car !
Favorite Features
Wonderful car to drive, excellent response, no engine problems, cold weather start no problem.
Suggested Improvements
Improve the parts and the body quality.
Once you go Benz, you wont go back

Review
I love this vehicle. It's so strong. Lots of space for 5 people. multi directional seat positioning, steering wheel, etc. I've purchased it with 61K miles now it has about 95K. Only did oil change. Recently one of the sensors went out due to heavy rain/flood and it cost me about $1400. Mercedes is expensive but you get what you pay for. Very good resale value. Very strong car. At 95K now needs axle job. Other than that never had problem. You also get 800 number for life of your Mercedes.

4Matic baby! You can feel it kick in on the highway, or when trying to get out of snow. Love the dashboard. Very strong vehicle. 3.2 liter V6 engine. You can open/close windows/roof with the key from outside the vehicle.

Mercedes parts & services are expensive. But you get what you pay for. My Mercedes embelem on the hood got stolen a few times. CD changer is in the trunk. Not easy to connect ipod.
