2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 4MATIC Sedan

Pros

Handling, Ride, Navigation and Music Register

Cons

I don't care for MB-Tex seats

Purchased As New

I have owned my 2009 Mercedes-Benz Luxury E Class 350 for 15 months.

I had a problem with the COMAND system. It stayed on same FM station until
I turned off the car then restarted car again. This reseted the COMAND system. This only happened one time since I had my Benz.

The window wipers sometime come on when it is not raining. This happened in summer.

The handling, navigation, ride and music registers are very good. If I am in traffic ,I can set the navigation to a desination. This feature is disabled on my friend?s Lexus 2009 GS 350.

I don?t car for the MB-Tex upholstery, but it?s Okay. Leather should be standard on 50K+ car!...read morehide

Pros

Great looking body style

Cons

Electronics totally unreliable!

Purchased As New

I had a new 2006 E350 4-Matic for one week before trading it in for a different model (S-350).
This was the worst car I ever had. In the shop twice in the first 6 days.
In the last five years, Mercedes Benz evidently has made no effort at all to address this horrible reliability issue. A friend who works on Mercedes told me they probably were pushing the new software system into production way too fast in Stutgart, without ever working out the reliability qlitches.
The public needs to literally boycott the E class until MB management finally acknowledges them!...read morehide

Pros

looks and drives great when it is not in the shop

Cons

multiple electronic problemd un resolved

Purchased As New

I have had the car less than 6 weeks. It has been in the shop 5 times for two major problems 1) The telenavigation system shuts down for no reason Dealor can not find problem 2) More serious is the car will shift down into 2nd gear abruptly and will stay stuck in second gear until car is restarted.

I think this is a cross class problem with poor electronics and a bad on board computer. Dealor has been less than helpful (Okemos Michigan) I have contacted a lemon lawyer and want to get rid of this piece of junk!!!...read morehide

Pros

Performance and quality

Cons

None really - would like a touchscreen or softbuttons though

I bought the car with the sport package. Have owned a number of MB cars over the years and this is the best so far. Handling is tight and crisp - like a BMW but without the hard edges. The 268HP V6 is very capable - can't imagine why anyone would need the V8 or the AMG - they must be brutishly powerful.

Build quality is better than ever. The car has a very solid feel - not a single flaw detected in any feature or accessory. Everything works as advertised and inspires confidence.

The controls are very well laid out and do not take long to learn. Adding a Bluetooth enabled cell phone took about 5 minutes.

Function and quality are clearly the highest priorities, not fashion or flash. Still, the car is loaded with advanced features....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

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.
