2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 320 review from North America
"Worthy of Its Solid Reputation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cup holder door persistently refuses to work properly even after several trips to repair.
Passenger Front Window requires above average maintence and repair - faulty fuse.
A/C needed recharging a little early.
General comments?
Smooth as silk and nicely powered. One of the most comfortable cars I've ever driven.
Very comfortable and controls are nicely placed, with the exception of traction control on/off switch.
Visibility excellent for all passengers, spacious, plenty of headroom, easy to clean, Solid Road feel.
Surprisingly good fuel efficiency.
Very impressive suspension.
