Great car overallSource: Cars.com...Oil changes are at 10,000 mile intervals, while a similar 1998 Honda is every 3,000 miles. The Mercedes is roughly 9-10 quarts of oil. The Honda is roughly 4.5 quarts. Three oil changes in a Honda total 13.5 quarts of oil. It all averages out the same. It's a give-and-take. So quit whining about repair bills. Buy your own parts, then have a trusted independent repair shop replace the part and save some money. Based on a similar engine and transmission platform, my 1999 C280 is still going 240,000 miles strong."... |

BEAUTIFUL THEN, AND BEAUTIFUL NOW!Source: Cars.com...Even though we dont drive it as much as our other cars we've had it for over 10 years and expect to have it for another 10. That car is what made us realize just how well German cars are made and built to last, i can guarantee any nissan or toyota would not last as long as this car. the only major problems we've ever had were the alternator and the ignition needed replacement. other than that NOTHING! this car led my family to buy a 2003 e320(used which is another German masterpiece , and a 2002 c230 kompressor sport coupe which is an amazing car with incredible pick up, i beleive all these... |

Why should I also consider these?
The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shares close quarters with its German compadres.
The Audi A6 lineup was refreshed for 2009 with direct-injection engines and a new front end, but it's halfway through its life cycle.
Wagon and all-wheel-drive versions are offered-similar to the BMW 5-Series lineup, which also includes the terrifyingly fast M5 sedan to tackle the Audi S6 and the Benz AMG editions.
Infiniti's M sedan is a suave counterpart from Japan, with a choice of six- and eight-cylinder engines, and rear- or all-wheel drive.
The shocking final option? The 2009 Hyundai Genesis, which has a high-$30,000 price tag, a fantastic interior, rear-drive power delivery, and a nearly 400-horsepower V-8.
Once Hyundai adds paddle shifters, sport suspension tuning, and body effects, it'll no doubt win more converts.
