1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Pros: Beautiful Styling, Smooth Ride, Great Gas Mileage

Cons: No cup holders, no fold down rear seat and no traditional glovebox

The Bottom Line: Buy it, use it and plan on keeping it as a family heirloom. They are hard to find, but if you find one in good condition they will last forever.

Review: This car is absolutely perfect. It looks great, rides incredibly smooth, gives 35 MPG and goes about 700 miles between fueling stations.

In town Driving: Smooth ride that absorbs even the most annoying potholes or speed bumps. Incredibly...

Pros: Great ride, quiet interior, strong and clean burning engine.

Cons: Fantastic engineering makes aftermarket equipment installation a little difficult

The Bottom Line: If you find one in good condition - look it over and buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Review: I read that Consumer's Reports had rated only one Mercedes a "Best Buy" - Yep! It was the 1995 E-Class. In my opinion I wanted only the best engine in my 95 - the slow-sipping diesel (27 city - 35 highway) powerplant. After a lot of internet searching I ...

Pros: The durability and quality of fit and finish is exemplary.  Parts are readily available.  

Cons: Wiring would disintigrate due to recycled plastics. The evaporator developed freon leaks. Both fixable. 

The Bottom Line: Classic styling, safety, fuel economy, low price and serviceability make it the best choice.  Newer cars I've owned have more reliability issues and they don't hold their value. 

Review: I've owned many Mercedes Benz cars, several pre-owned and two new.  My favorites have been the older diesel cars because of the clatter of the diesel engine, their reliability and longevity.  I honestly think that Mercedes got it ...

Pros: Looks, reliability, mileage, run to drive.

Cons: None, except the highway patrol seems to look for me.

Review: Have had a BMW and another Mercedes.

Bought it because I loved the way it looked and drove.

After 8 months, I still love to drive it. It's a little anemic around town, but on the highway, you would think it was supercharged. (Have...

Pros: Solid, great performance, quiet

Cons: Styling

Review: I bought my E320 4dr sedan in the Summer of 98 used. I was looking for quality, reliability and performance in one and I came to buy the E320. Although the styling is the old boxy Mercedes look, there is nothing boxy about the performance. The...

Pros: smooth ride with alot of pick up and go

Cons: leg room in back and gas mileage

Review: This here is a car in a class all its own . Round of applause to a company that has come so far from when they started . Some people don't think much of the E320 ; but this car has it all but the kitchen sink . Very beautiful body style with a sleek...

Pros: elegant beast

Cons: boxy looks

Review: Merc E-200 petrol is avehicle in superb vehicle.It is one of the safest vehicle.Its ride is smooth and sturdy.Definately a family vehicle. Buy it if you get ...

Pros: -Solid, smooth
-Styling
-Can go 200K miles if maintained
-The last of the reliable E-Series

Cons: -Oil leaks
-Electrical gremlins
-Less-than-lux interior
-AM radio reception
-No cupholders

The Bottom Line: The E320 Cabriolet is a fun droptop that looks great and will seat four. Just be prepared for high maintenance costs.

Review: I have an 1995 E320 convertible with 110K on the odo. It's a lot of fun and is very solid and smooth. The six-cylinder engine gets decent gas mileage and is strong at cruising speeds while not exactly a tire-burner at stop signs. It's more of a ...

Pros: Peppy, fun, smooth driving car

Cons: Electrical Engine Harness Manufacturer Defects

The Bottom Line: Know if the electrical engine harness was replaced - it's costly and repair records should show payment of more than $1,000 to get parts and labor!

Review: I purchased my C-280 three years ago (2002)and got a good deal...thankfully it was a good deal...what I didn't know when I purchased the car was that all MB cars of that year had problems with their electrical engine harness - over time it decays, ...

Pros: L@@ks expensive. excellent gas mileage, roomy trunk,nice leather&interior finish. girls dig it ;)

Cons: no cup holder. no glove box for storing things. engine repairs are iminent and expensive.

The Bottom Line: its classy and i park valet with the best of em if its shined up nice. Rides easy and comfortable on the freeway. great gas mileage

Review: This car is outstanding with some exceptions. YOur experience may vary now since this car is almost 10 years old now, but i bought mine exactly 12 months ago with 50k miles. YES, only 50k which is what made it really attractive plus the interior looked ...
