E320 wagon ... style, and hauling

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: Styling is slightly less silly than later models. Other than minor key problems, it's a dream.
Review: I have the station wagon model of the E320, which replaced a C220 (my first venture into the world of Mercedes cars). I had leased the C220, and when the lease ended, I went looking for a replacement that was as comfortable as the 220, but had a bit...

Avoid '97 E320 A/C Defective

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2002
The Bottom Line: Don't purchase a Mercedes if you live in a place that requires air conditioning. MB HQ agrees!!
Review: Vehicle was purchased used in Florida, was originally from Maryland. A/C has failed on numerous occasions, have replaced compressor, drier, evaporator and many other parts. Cost over $4000. MB dealer and MB HQ refuse to address problem, the Chrysler...

Reliability

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2006
Review: I bought my 1997 E320 new and have 55K miles on it. It regularly requires repair of items that I have never had fail on any other car. Overall reliability of the car is very poor.

ENGINEERING MARVEL

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: This car is one of a kind. So stylish, So roomy, So powerful, and worth every dime.
Review: My parents bought this car this past summer (2001) used. The car is beautiful. It is truly an engineering marvel. There is nothing that Mercedes didn't take into account when building this car. It's got everything that you would ever want in a car...

Not what it once was.

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: Lexus, BMW, shop around first. Don't be star struck by the name.
Review: There was a time owning a Mercedes was something special. It may only be a c230 but it should still have the same high standards that Mercedes was once famous for. This car has 62000 highway miles and I already have had to replace the engine. That...

Mercedes-Benz quality, but at a steep price

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: Superb engineering, fit and finish, ride and handling, but, oh, at what a price!
Review: I was surprised to see a listing for a car that's now almost 9 years old, but as I own one (purchased as a used, "Starmark" vehicle almost 5 years ago), I thought my experiences with this car would make for some interesting reading.

My...

This "C" class is anything but average

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2000
Review: I leased my MBZ C280 right before we got pregnant. I was driving a Jeep Wrangler at the time, and knew we needed more of a family car, with 4 doors! Safety was also a big issue with me. So, we looked at the Mercedes. I loved it. I loved the car's...

Just An Okay Car

Date of Review:  May 15, 2000
Review: I recently purchased a 1997 Starmark C230 Benz. This car is definitely not worth all of the excitement and wonderful reviews it has received over the years. I agree with most owners that this automobile has many safety features, but nothing that I...

Versatility

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 1999
Review: I currently own a Mercedes Station Wagon E280 4-Matic. Of all the cars I have driven and bought over the years, this has to be the most versatile. Never have I been able to use my car to do so many different things. From do the shopping, to moving...

Class, Performance, & Safety!

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2000
Review: I always thought that I had a keen appreciation for good cars. As a young woman I chose Sports Cars and thought I would never be happier than when rounding steep curves in my little Porsche, later Z, 'Vette, etc. However, as a mature woman who...
