| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Flawless S-Class materials and workmanship built into the Luxury E350/4 by knowledgable and proud craftsmen from inspired engineers who created an entirely new design. These are evident in every part of this automobile: This is a game-elevating auto. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The plastics are soft, the wood is rich and the leather is thick. Although the car is 3 years old with almost 40k miles, I have not heard a squeak or a rattle despite Houston's cratered concrete highways. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Great Door hinges - look well engineered. Under the hood is a work of art. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The materials and workmanship reflect the name Mercedes has made for themselves over the years. All leather interior, bullet proof paint, the beast front seats in the business, and amenities one expects in a luxury sedan. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The wood is deep and beautiful. There are no squeaks or rattles over the worst bumps. The panel gaps are pretty tight and controls are very solid, without wobble or extraneous movement. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Car is built like a bank vault. Feels brick solid. No rattles, squeaks or leaks whatsoever. No loose screws, bolts or mountings. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 208hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Top cabin all around |

| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Nearly flawless assembly and attention to detail. Very, very little feels cheaper than it should, which I cannot say about the 5 Series BMW or moreso, the Volvo S80. Everything mechanical, such as doors and accessories, operates with a quality feel. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 201hp 3.2L I6 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
First rate quality materials,touch and smell adds to the pleasant cabin. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 469hp 5.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Materials look great and fit together nicely, though as noted above certain features have long term reliability issues (glovebox door, active seat bolsters, seat ventilation, e.g.) |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Quality of materials and workmanship abound in this E500. The interior is made of obviously high quality materials, and the quality of the exterior materials is also apparent. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 469hp 5.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Mercedes does a wonderful job with the fit and finish. Tranny shifts like no other car I have ever owned and the steering is just so perfect. Hardly ANY road noise. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Quality exuedes from everywhere. The car is solid solid solid. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Exclusive of the center armrest the car is still looking new at 94000 miles |
