2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class - Base
Pros: Handling, Quality, Power, 26 mpg highway@ 80mph
Cons: None
Advice: The car is well engineered with some glitches but nothing major at 23000 miles. It is a luxury vehicle.
I have owned this 2003 E500W Sport for several months. I love the car, however I experienced the bucking problem at xero exceleration at very slow speed reported by others. I have corrected with slight exceleration. Also I believe the computer montering system on board has some glitches. It reports malfunctioning systems which are corrected by turning off the ignition and starting again much the same as a PC. This problem occurs frequently. -

i own one and have for the last year. it is a great car for the road but i have had more quality problems than any other car i have ever owned. in fact the car is in the shop as i am writing this. on thing that you need to know is that the new MB have lots of computer related issues. the car is over engineered.

2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class - E 320 RWD Sedan
Pros: the color
Cons: poor handling
Advice: Look carefully at other choices...Mercedes Benz Factory even refused took look at the car.
Ever since I purchased my 2003 E320, they car has 'bucked' at slower speeds, especially with a/c operating. The dealers have tried to remedy the problem with no success. I was told I have to learn how to drive the car. I've had several Mercedes and never had to learn how to drive them. My previous model was a 1998 E320....it was great! This 2003 E320 is very dissappointing and will probably be my last Mercedes. Passengers laugh at how the car handles and can't believe its a Mercedes. -

2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class - AWD Wagon
Pros: Panoramic Moon Roof
Cons: Center Console
Advice: We only live once and life is too short not to buy one.
Drives buttery smooth, handles well in all areas but the seats could have been softer. The navigation system is not as sophisticated as others I have driven. Overall, I have no problems in my two weeks of owning this wonderful piece of machinery. You owe it to yourself, get one!!! -
