2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Reviews and Ratings

I am very happy with my purchase of the new E-Class. The technology is truly superb and after a minor adjustment to the user interface, it is very intuitive and user friendly. Really like the touchpads on the steering wheel and the volume control in the center console. Safety features are top notch and truly make me feel I am safer as I drive. Lastly, build quality is exactly what I've come to expect from Mercedes Benz. .

Everything about my car is exceptional. The technology is easy to use and affords exceptional safety features. If I have trouble, Mercedes is there quickly with just a touch of a button. The car is beautiful but more importantly a pleasure to drive and makes me feel secure. We started driving Mercedes 40 years ago and have strayed for 3 times, only to sell those mistakes quickly and come running back to the MB.

This vehicle is the 5th MB that I have purchased new and the decision came down to Safety. Being retired and over 65 I was looking for something similar to my other Benz vehicles yet providing me with a host of new safety features. I was also looking for a vehicle that retained that comfortable ride of my other cars. In the end it was Safety that sold me on this car.

"Outstanding engineering. However I find the styling a bit on the ""common"" side. The options are expensive and many are not necessary for my needs."

If you like all the bells and whistles Tech wise, this is the vehicle for you. There is a learning curve to the tech part and the dealer needs to be pushed to help at Mercedes.

I'm not sure what other car I would drive other than a Mercedes-Benz. My previous one had a V-8 engine and thought I would be losing power going to a 4-cylinder turbo; I was wrong. This car has performance. My only gripe is that the Apple Car Play seems to be hit or miss with performance. Intermittent problems with my screen going out totally while music plays. However, this car has the perfect blend of comfort and performance.

Before buying the Mercedes E 300 I also looked at BMW, Maserati, Tesla and Jaguar. In my opinion the Mercedes has better handling, better interior and more advanced technology.

This is my sixth Mercedes. I was leery of purchasing a 4 cylinder engine, but the twin turbo's give it more power than it needs and the gas mileage compared to my previous 5 Mercedes is off the chart. Mercedes tend to be heavier and have solid handling. This car is just as massive but the handling can only be described as spritely. It is as responsive as any car I have driven and my other ride is a BMW. This car is such a pleasure to be in that we use it to run errands. We have had it out on three extended road trips and have arrived at destinations and back home with zero road fatigue. I'd rather be in this car than in my favorite chair at home.

I love this car!!! We insisted on the option3 package which is a must. The seats are not only comfortable they actually give you a massage. The automatic braking is excellent as is the feature that keeps you in your lane. I strongly recommend the extended driving screen, you can configure which features display and the amount of detail for each feature. I also enjoy the heads up display which allows me to know my speed at all times. The auto park is cool but it takes waaaay too long to actually use in a parking lot. We also find that the adaptive cruise control receives bad speed limit data and will slam on the breaks because it thinks the speed limit on the Interstate slowed from 70mph to 15 mph. I'm afraid I'm going to get rear ended, I only use about 1/3 of the technology. I also find the Mercedes interface is not nearly as intuitive as the pervious 4 Lexus's we have owned. Overall the car is sharp looking, comfortable, gets great gas mileage and the valets all fight to drive it.

Very pleased with the E300 purchase. Exactly what I wanted from a luxury vehicle inside and out. Styling and performance are both outstanding. I knew MB's were safe, but the latest safety features have really impressed my wife and me.
