MB E500. A Beauty With a Beast Under the Hood

I love this car. Legendary Mercedes Benz engineering, great looks and smooth, powerful drivetrain. I'm looking forward to a long, comfortable, trouble free time together.

Classy, safe and reliable car

This car rides smooth, stable and joy to drive it! It is a safe and comfortable car to drive. I like the color, the moon roof, leather interior and all the amenities this car offers!

The car has the class and sporty look I was lookin

By far the best Intermediate sedan I have drove in a long time. It has the comfort of luxury and the speed of a sports car.

Great looks-fun to drive!

A classic. The E Class when it had real class! This model is the best combination of sporty and comfort. Unlike the current E Class, the model shares three features only available on the S Class- 4matic all wheel drive, Air-matic air suspension, and a 500 engine. Of course it is fully loaded with navigation, built in cell phone, CD and more. In iridium silver, it is a real gem. If you can find one of these gems, buy it. It is sure to become a collectors car!

Trouble Trouble Trouble!

I bought this car new in 2006 and live about 2 miles down a dirt road in Woodstock, Vermont. It was an AWD E 500 wagon and I had issues it from the very beginning. First the drive train went, then the air suspension air bag went, then another one went, then the electrics did not work, then the entire suspension went (all four wheels) The car actually said "Car too low do not drive". This car is not made for anything other than highway driving and even then I cannot tell you how many flat tires I got with those low profile tires. Yes, by all means a beautiful and wonderful car to drive when all was working but this was my third and my last Mercedes EVER!

Very comfortable ride. Smooth and relaxing to drive. Has leg room for 5 adults without an issue. Shifts smoothly and handles very well on the road.
