Love this car! Amazing power for the money!

This review is for the W211 E55 AMG. One of the best cars I've ever owned! Engine has been reliable. Be mindful if buying to make sure it has good service history.

Best Car Ever Owned

Drives like a sports car with the comfort of a luxury sedan. Handling on curvy, moutain, snowy roads is amazing. The excellant brakes saved me from a serious accident.

It’s driven better then any of my brand new cars.

It’s a great car for the price now. It is older so it doesn’t have Bluetooth or USB ports but it hasn’t made a difference to me CD player still works and so does the FM/AM.

Reliable, fast and solid.

Solidly built, no creaks or rattles, even after all these years. The engine purrs and pulls like new. Every part of this car is designed and engineered to last, and last it has. I love this car; it's been a loyal friend and member of the family and made me a loyal Mercedes customer.

Great vehicle. One terrible issue.

This car is amazing overall. I have had two big issues though. 1. A ticking sound after the 5th year. Brought to dealer while still on warranty. Dealers said its normal. After warranty expired, dealer says need to fix it cause its not normal. I have researched and nany owners w sane problem. How can this not be a recall issue? 2. The radio/navigation/phone component stopped wirking at its 3rd year. Sent to repair by dealer 3 times. Still didn’t work. I just gave up on it. Can still hear the radio but limited stations controlled on steering wheel. I feel cheated.

Best car ever

Will never Dr anything other than Benz. Purchase 1st n Germany 1981 and became hooked. Will never drive anything other than it. Family members on both side of family Also invest in Mercedes due to our purchase. One brother has bought 2 although he states he's a jaguar man. Or he happened to be riding around and saw it park stop to look and made purchase. Second was he went to have it service and while n waiting area a customer came to make a trade and price was just TOO GREAT to bypass. Although known not to be true due to having our service many years.

Most reliable firmly built car I've owned so far

This car is not only very reliable but also comfortable and gave me a sense of pride driving what I view as "A Gentleman's car"

Build quality immaculate

This car can drift, that 3.2L v6 is not a joke on regular/wet roads it definitely has sufficient power. Mixed with a larger cabin and outstanding audio system you will truly feel like you are really driving. Drifting with summer tires is almost effortless.

This is the third E-Class I have owned.

I love the way the car looks. It has been great for my job in real estate, and also I feel very safe in it.
