2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E320 review from North America
"Living up to its reputation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust hanger broke at 16K and was replaced under warranty. Also, front brake pads and rotors replaced at 16K..not covered.
General comments?
This is the first defect-free car I've ever owned. That is, no defects on delivery. In the two years since, I've have been back to the dealer once for service and then later when the exhaust system started to rattle at idle.
