The Good
The 2010 E-Class offers a smooth, comfortable ride (appealing to comfort-focused buyers), and strong engine options providing satisfying performance (emotional appeal). Its elegant design exudes sophistication, while generally good reliability and decent fuel efficiency (especially the E350) make it a practical choice. It retains its value well, adding to the appeal.
The Bad
Potential weaknesses include higher maintenance costs compared to non-luxury brands. Some owners have reported issues with the air suspension, particularly in older models. Electronic glitches, while not widespread, can occur. Pre-purchase inspections by a qualified mechanic are crucial to identify potential problems before buying.

First time owner of a BenzI have never owned a Mercedes-Benz I’ve always owned a BMW. I have to say I really love this vehicle. It rides smooth, the seats are very comfortable, it has so many functions for a 2010, I was extremely surprised. The color of the vehicle was listed as arctic white however it’s more of a cream color vehicle. If I could change the color I most likely would. But it’s still very beautiful. The vehicle only had 13,562 miles. The interior looks and smells brand new. The exterior is extremely designed well. It’s a beautiful car. I’ve only driven it one day because I’ve only had it one day. As time goes on I will then be able to make an accurate review. My younger sister will purchase my vehicle if I choose to sell.

BEST CAR I'VE OWNED BY FARI love my Mercedes E350 sedan, it is fully loaded and runs smooth, the maintenance is pricey but when was the last time you saw a Mercedes on the side of the road? Very reliable ðŸ‘

The best car i ever owned. The comfort & speedThis is the second Mercedes Benz I owned. But the E350 is one of the best cars I ever had. Its economic, stylish and luxurious for the prize. The best decision I ever made.

It’s like driving a stylish and smooth lead sled.So far its fast enough, comfortable enough and safe. I love the way it drives. My wife followed me home from pick up at dealer and said it was emitting a large amount of white smoke from the exhaust for the first 5-8 miles, it then stopped and day 2 which is now I’ve seen a little at initial start for 5 or so minutes then it stopped. This Mercedes has a braking feature that slows the car when the car accelerator is disengaged which takes a little getting used to. The Auto check reports 2 small accidents and the front right gap between the hood and fender is a bit wide at a point, but nothing I didn’t already expect from the report.

Very reliable and comfortableI bought this car used with low miles when it was 7 years old. I was a little worried about getting it at first Because everyone says don’t buy a used Mercedes but I’m glad I did. For the money it has tons of features and is very comfortable. It was fast when I first bought it but when I got used to it it just seems regular now but it has enough power for regular driving. So far with 90k all I’ve had to replace was the thermostat which I did my self. I do all the maintenance as scheduled to make sure it in tip top shape. In Europe they use these cars as taxis so you know their durable. A lot of the body parts are an alloy so you don’t half to worry about rust. It’s great for long trips and the automatic high and low beams combined with auto wipers makes it that much better. My favorite feature that many people don’t know about is if your at a red light stopped you can give the brake pedal a quick firm press and it holds the brake for you then you just hit the gas and it lets off. It’s very useful. It doesn’t show it’s age and blends in good with most cars. Every part on this car seems to be well thought out and made of high quality materials. My only complaint about quality is that the seam on my drivers seat ripped but this happens to all of them once they get older. If your looking to buy one look for the p2 package because it comes with keyless go, hid headlights and the press button trunk close. Also it has Dolby surround sound which sounds great. I was looking at BMW 5-Series, Audi A6, Lexus ES 350 and an Infiniti Q50 all around the same year and the Mercedes was On a different level. The bmw seemed cheap, the Audi was the least reliable and the infinity is made by Nissan. The Lexus was nice but cost a lot more. If you are looking for a nice car on a budget that is reliable the e350 is the way to go. I highly recommend this car to anyone who is considering any of the cars I listed above. This car proves that German engineering is superior

Fantastic carExtremely comfortable and the 4matic works with a seamless execution . Handles and feels very safe, well this one I got it has only 55000 miles.
White 350 on December 4, 2019
Reliable and powerful and looks wonderfulOverall E350 is a great car to own, for the cost you drive a luxury car that has a lot to offer. maintainability is average and the durability and looks is way above average!

Excellent Car if you don't mind the MPGsAn Over-engineered vehicle built to last Everything is great on the car except for 2 things: Poor gas mileage for everyday use (cruising on the highway at a higher speed is close to 28mpg though). Air Suspension is unreliable and will need to be replaced. The engine is solid, it was used for years in other vehicles and does not have the superchargers like the newer models so running at a lower psi is more reliable.
