Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon E500 4d Auto (1996/N) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
For the performance and equipment, nothing comes close.
Costs
Not the cheapest vehicle in the world to run. Drive it hard and prepare for sub 10mpg.

On the road
Driving
Goes like a rocket on the straights and not too bad on the twisty bits considering its size and weight.
Performance
Wooooooah. The ultimate Q car.

Living with it
Reliability
Nothing gone wrong yet!
Image
Very much old fella, trilby image, which means you surprise just about everyone with the performance. Also means you don't get unwanted attention from vandals.
Comfort
Considering the performance, very good.

Security
Not been nicked yet, but that might be more down to the image than the actual security.
