2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class User Reviews

Pros

Great quality, amazing looks, deserved status, simply the best

I've owned quite a few mercedes in my life, and I must say, this is the best model so far. The quality is simply miles ahead of other model years and this is something I pay special attention to... build quality.

Mercedes has always been a quality car and almost every model year has been a good one, but to the purist, you can tell the difference between one year and the next. Let me tell you, 2008, was a perfect build year.

The car is beyond solid, and the attention to detail is simply amazing. Not everything is perfect, meaning comparing feature to feature against every other model auto for sale, but its all about the quality. Nobody even comes close, nobody. I've owned Porche, BMW, Volvo, Saab, Audi, and a few others, but Mercedes build quality is simply on top of the list.

Frankly, I don't know how they do it, as these cars are no doubt mass produced, everyone has one, but sill when driving mine, I feel as though it was built for me. As thought special attention was given to everything in order to deliver me a perfect car. Hats off Benz, I feel special and your car is wonderful. It is money very well spent, in fact, they should raise the price, I would gladly pay more if I had to....read morehide

Pros

Very sturdy and smooth given low profile tires, Very smooth 7 speed automatic, Nice logic 7 hk music

Cons

dash initially difficult to understand but once you learn it, took time, it had tailored informati

This car is beautiful to drive, to ride to be in. Not bad mileage, feels very solid and the power for a 350 is more than you need for family driving.

If I had bought a lexus instead of my benz, I may be regretting it by now. Japanese cars age too soon. My car stays being an eye catcher for years....read morehide

Pros

Smooth drive, a lof of power, attention to detail in all the nook and crannies.

Cons

The side mirros do not have a switch to fold in...That's it...I love my Benz.

I tried to save a few bucks and traded in my 04 mercedes E Class. I bought an Infiniti G35 Journey back in may...Kept it 3 months, only to head back to the Mercedes Dealership and buy a new 09 Benz. it's impossible to go backawards

The Navigation System is terrific. A Major plus is the fact that you can use it while driving. Most cars today "grey out" most functionality of the Nav System.

The voice activiation is simple to use...What can I say...The car is Sexy...It's the best value...hands down....read morehide

Pros

Love navigation system.

Cons

Wiper blades make to much noise. Road noise disappointing.

Rides a little smaller than I thought it would. I was told by dealer that cars curb weight was a little under 4,000 lbs. Does not feel that heavy. Does not mention anyware in brochure about curb weight!

Pros

Awesome car

Cons

To big for a sedan

Nice looking car I have it with the sport package and it can knock the BMW 5 series. It has a really good engine I have the AMG and it rocks it is fast and nice. It is really good for a long drive because it goes fast.
When I drive in New York everyone looks at me. It is a really good car.

Pros

Fuel Economy, Comfort, are great. I just finished a 5000 mile trip through the US and Canada

Cons

Ride is not adjustable to sport mode for a firmer ride GPS is difficult to use

I love the car it is quite( can't hear the engine) it is fast and comfortable. I go to 34.5 miles to the gallon avg. on a 5000 mile trip. It would be nice to have the option of sport mode for a more firm ride when needed.

Pros

economy great. 20 Town 27 hwy Very fast.

Cons

No memory seats, Manual tilt wheel is awful

I bought this MB for my wife but I have parked my Vette and now we both drive the MB. It't really a shame the automobile does not have memory seats. I am 6"2" and my wife is 5'2" This causes a constant changing and adjusting the seat..... The manual tilt is really awful. But as a "CAR GUY" I think the C 350 is one heck of a car.I love it....read morehide

Pros

good looking, 620 miles between fills (Highway), huge trunk capacity, great performance.

Cons

ALL road noise reaches the cabin, GPS and instrument input far to complicated and unintuitive.

Love this car after 10,000 miles of city and country driving. One big frustration: with a car that can go so incredibly far between fills the "range" function (miles until refueling needed) can be a useful tool. This car's range function is totally useless, as it reports a range that goes up and down by as much as 120 miles every twenty minutes, even though driving conditions (speed, terrain)have not changed. The MB dealer professes ignorance on this, and is uninterested in finding a solution. Would love to know if others are experiencing the same thing....read morehide

Pros

Handling and appearance

Cons

none

This car is good in every aspect. Perhaps thats the con, its just good or very good in all aspects but not great. I really enjoy this car and if you get it when its sale price/lease is on special its a fantastic value.

Pros

hwy fuel, acceleration, comfort, rear/front leg room, turn radius.

Cons

navigation WAY to low, breakes a little touchy, trunk is a little to high, a little expencive.

the navigation is to low and if you need to type in an address while driving it can be un safe.
also a con THE NAVIGATION!! all the other features that use the navigation screen are great e.g., satilte radio, audio, radio. are great, but the actuall turn by turn navigation/map is horible.

but all in all its a great car, drives awesome and its pretty fast....read morehide
