I believe that if you can afford a Mercedes, then you should definitely buy one. The is the best car I have ever owned. If I get rid of the car, it will be for another Mercedes.

Make it RELIABLE!!!

2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review:
As the critics say, the finest vehicle on the road-- WHEN IT RUNS. Unfortunately, most of the time it doesn't. Nor are the service departments able to make it run. That is why I reluctantlu rate the car an overall "2" in spite of the many admirable features.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
Much better handling than previous models of E class. Much quieter. Good visibility.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
Electrical systems that work properly. Larger side view mirrors.

2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review:
This version of the E-Class handles much better than prior years, and it is much quieter. Unfortunately, the electrical problems that plagued prior years don't just continue in the 2006 model, they are actually far worse. This is a great car, if Mercedes would only fix, once and for all, the electrical problems. Frankly, it's unbelievable they still put cars on the road that have this many problems.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
Navigation system...ability to plug in our I-Pod into the sound system...feels safe...Perky engine...styling

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
Continue to work on electronics. The air conditioning system will suddenly stop working and come back just as suddenly. 7 speed tranmission keeps slowing the engine when you take pedal off the gas.

2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review:
Looked at all the Japanese cars like Acura RL and Infiniti M35. The E350, at first, seemed much less featured. This turns out not to be true. the car may lack voice activated features but it has everything else. Love the cruise control which actually brakes the car when you slow the car down. Would highly recommend the car.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
Acceleration and suspension.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
Put the armrest back in, use material which can be easily cleaned at the lower door openings, don't patronize customers by automatically moving the passenger seat so far forward it becomes unuesable, make the third row seats optional so as to provide secure, covered storage when back seats are down

2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review:
Ordered in June after driving 2005 demo. 2006 arrived with no arm rest; roll top desk top instead. After 5 weeks, driven it only about 100 miles. When I go to use it I think "sore elbow," and use a different car. I have a C240 wagon and until recently a CL600. Both had a plastic runner at the bottom of the door opening. This one has fabric - great for attracting stains. Mercedes appears to consider its customers incompetent when it comes to lowering the back seats. An interlock moves the passenger seat forward, after which it might just accommodate a five- year-old. All kinds of hassle to overide this interlock so as to be able to use the seat. Wonderful vehicle spoiled by dumb design.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
Harmon Kardon sound, seats, dash design, interior/exterior design, premium and appearance packages.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
Offer Sirius antenna somewhere besides on trunk, touchscreen navigation, cooler feature in console.

2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review:
This car replaced a 2002 BMW 5 series. I just could not warm to the new 5 series interior/exterior. I never owned a MBZ, but this car is great. Quiet, serene ride and good handling, feels very competent and secure on the road. Nice interior is dignified and well done, with a touch of sportiness with the Appearance pkg. The 7 speed V6 is smooth and has plenty of power, Seats are first rate and I no longer get lower back pain on long drives, like I did in the BMW. This car is a wonderful combination of comfortable cruiser with enough road manners to make it fun to drive. I wopuld not get it without the appearannce package - makes it look so much better - in and out

Diesel

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
Better high end stereo. I'd use Bose like in my CLK with subwoofer and a better middle arm rest

2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review:
The CDI at 34 mpg on my last 3600 mile road trip can't be beat. I do miss a middle armrest but the distronic seats make up for it. The car is fast. I do find the Harmon Kardon radio a tad less bass capable than I like
