1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

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...

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.

Review: The Mercedes Benz E320 has sleek lines that were mastered by the MB engineers in Germany. While the car comes in the standard colors, the black opal option is by far my favorite. Although there is an up charge for the metallic paint, it is well...

Review: This MB can be the answer to the car lovers dream. Roomy interior, wonderful ride quality, nicely appointed interior. It feels like class every time you sit in it.
We bought ours new at the beginning of the '97 model year and were thrilled to...

Review: I loved the interior and exterior of the Mercedes C-Class. The size was perfect and very practical. The C-Class Mercedes wasn't the traditional Mercedes family car since it was more of a sporty, cute little car.

The Bottom Line: Lexus, BMW, shop around first. Don't be star struck by the name.

Review: The Mercedes-Benz E320 is by far the absolute best value of any MB. This car is beautifully detailed for the $42,000 price. As long as I have owned this car I have only had one complaint. I have broken it down below into sections enjoy!

Review: I've driven the E420 for over 3 years, and I put a set of 18" AMG Aero II monoblocks with Dunlop SP8000 235/18/40ZR tires to bring up the performance. At this setup alone, it transformed the handling completely, where I could make turns with much...

Review: Have owned my 97 E-420 for close to 3 years. It was purchased pre-owned after 8 months use by 1st owner. The car came with every option available with the exception of the sport package.

We bought the car because of its styling and...

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...
