The E350 is a great quality car as you'd expect from Mercedes, but it's not the "drivers" car that you'd get from a 5 series. The interior trim is well done with quality finishes, and the interior cabin is quiet. The steering is numb with very little feedback. The worst aspect of the car is the lag time from throttle to response. If I didn't know any better, I'd say this car was turbocharged. The ride is comfortable, as is expected for Mercedes. Plenty of room in the back seat and trunk.
