2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class consumer reviews

Short and simple...the 2005 Mercedes Benz E320 CDI is the finest car I have ever owned. The performance is unbelieveable, the styling in classic and timeless and the workmanship and materials used in the vehicle are top notch. Great fuel mileage, up to 42 mpg on the highway, 0-60 in 6 seconds, smooth but responsive ride and the Mercedes Benz legacy of luxury and quality.

Forget about everything you've heard about noisy and smelly diesels. This car is smooth, quiet on the road and just enough diesel purr at low speeds to make it nice. None of the clatter and loud droning of the old days. The E class is a nice size and appointments are simple yet functional. Lots of nice pockets for storage. Seats are very comfy and supportive. Handling is decent and nailed down. The ride, while firm, is pleasant. Power is very strong. Torque is amazing and rolls on nicely. Pull is right now at the bottom of the power band and keeps on coming. Freeway ride is nice and range is a good 650 miles on one tank. Cruising at interstate speeds is amazingly quiet with little engine sound. The '06 has a nice grade logic control that holds the car at speed down hills with the cruise control is set. Expect to see at least 500k miles with proper maintenance. This is a long term keeper. Expect to get in the high 20s in town and low to mid 30s on the road. No long waiting for the glow plugs. Switch on ignition for about 3 seconds then start. We love ours. You really have to drive it to appreciate it.

I bought what is considered a great looking feature filled auto. But the problems that come with it are too numerous to list. When it is running it is great. Buy the extended warranty because you will need it. I have used it at 70k miles. And I believe I will have an occasion to use it before the 100k miles.

I love my 2005 E500. Tasteful design with alot of giddy-up. I love when people try not to let me merge. All the power and handling you would ever want. I owned a S500 previously and I find the E500 a much more practical and sporty ride! Enjoy Resposibly!

MB E320 CDI Lots of gizmos; all practical to learn about. Dealers are the main complaint. Cupping wear on tires making howling noise. Confirmed by tire shop. Alignment checked out OK. Dealers deny any responsibility. Dealer: is my main grumble. Maintenance CD purchased for this car will only run in Microsoft Environment. Pretty darn nice car!

I really enjoy this fine German automobile. I have had no issues and perfect service experience. The 4matic and E500 V8 is powerful when needed and sticks to the corners! Creature comfort is superb. Great in winter too.

I really enjoy this car. Buy a used one is the best value. I have had no issues and perfect service. Only regular maintenance. Yes the tires don't last as long as I would like, but that is the nature of performance tires on any vehicle of this weight class. The V8 is powerful when needed and gets 27mpg on the Frwy. Comfort is superb.

i bot used e320 2004 49 k,the car park at the mercedez dealer more than park in my house,gps system,a/c not cold in summer,heat not hot in winter,seat belt stuck,may be i'm not lucky guy,but i'm going to get rid of soon.

Currently owned 1988 Porsche 911 cabriolet, 2003 BMW M5 and 2005 E 55 AMG Wagon. I love all my cars but i have to admit the E 55 outperforms the M5. The AMG is just absolutely a beast. It is the world's fastest wagon and owning 1 of 129 came to US in 2005 just makes me a very lucky guy.

Car has 13k miles and has had multi problems such as transmission, a/c, warning lights, and several electrical problems.
