Pros: Fuel economy, effortless thrust, styling
Cons: Soggy handling, rear seat room and comfort, instruments
The Bottom Line: Diesel great for driveability and fuel economy, not so great for handling.
While the U.S. hunts for a solution to its dependence on foreign oil, Europe has already settled on one: diesel. Influenced by high fuel prices and tax incentives, Europeans purchased diesel engines in over half of the new cars they bought last year. In ...

Pros: Build quality, refinement, luxury, style
Cons: Overboosted steering
The Bottom Line: Perhaps the best engineered car on the market today, but not designed for the enthusiast driver.
While having my 2001 C240 serviced, I decided to take a test drive of a new 2006 E350, and much to my delight, the saleswoman gave me very wide latitude to really test the car, on a wide variety of roads and for almost a full hour. During that drive, I ...

Pros: Great mileage, power, handling, fit, finish, steering after proper alignment.
Cons: Slightly sluggish trans, small rear seat area. Nothing else.
The Bottom Line: Great for mileage, power. Nice on the road or in town. Excellent refinement.
Intro:Being a MBZ nut doesn't come easy. There is so many Benzes to choose from. All great cars. There are also some not so good when reliability and some function items are involved, something that has chased the star car for some time now. ...

Pros: Fast, good handling, ride, style, status, and durability.
Cons: Gas, BMWless, high service cost, minor annoying reliability issues.
The Bottom Line: If you want an Accord but can afford a German make and costs, this is it!
During the years, I owned the following makes: Honda, Toyota, BMW, Acura, and Alfa Romeo. And finally, I leased my E350 in blk/blk in 2006 for business. This was my first Mercedes Benz. I always wanted a E-Class. The conservative ...

Pros: fuel economy, performance, comfort, sharp looking
Cons: body panels get damaged easily, minor rattle when cold, fabric door trims get dirty easily
The Bottom Line: I will definitely get another diesel Mercedes. It is well made.
Excellent performance, comfort, and fuel economy. After 4 years, there has been no major problem. Only once the GPS failed but it recovered by itself, probably due to lost of satelite signal. This diesel powered car is fast, very quiet esp. on highway, ...
