The future is here -- self-driving cars. No longer just restricted to Google and a few other manufacturers, you can actually BUY one! Granted, this one's crippled by DOT/NHTSA's archaic rules dating back to 1963, but even with those limitations it's amazing. I actually look forward to traffic jams -- even more time to sit back and enjoy this wonderful machine while the car accelerates, brakes, steers, and fights off tailgaters all at once. Yes, it actually will start slowing down / increasing following distance from the car in front of you if some jerk starts tailgating you. Likewise, if some idiot cuts you off, it'll respond all by itself and swerve/brake/avoid hitting them. But wait, there's still the rest of the car! So it drives for you, great! This just gives you more time to soak in the real wood paneling, over-engineering, attention to detail, fine sculpted lines, slick interior lighting, etc. Or maybe you'd prefer to listen (and watch!) A nice live concert on the dash from the built-in DVD player and enjoy the car's full surround sound system. While getting the back massage. In 10+ miles of stop-and-go traffic. While everyone else around you is miserable. And you've got a big grin on your face because your car's driving and you're snuggling up in the Brookstone-like massage chair driver's seat.

I got a great deal as a second owner of my Mercedes E320. It was my first car, and it had everything that a first car should and then some. It had all electric accessories: seat adjustments, windows, adjustable steering wheel, side view mirrors, sunroof, window shade in the back window, locks, everything. I've never had an engine problem since I have owned the car, and as far as I know, neither did the first owner. What few problems I have had with the car were due to being rear ended by a drunk, which brings us to one of the few negatives I have had with my car. The repairs are expensive. And there isn't really a way to get it properly repaired without shelling out money, short of knowing how to do it yourself. So it's lucky I haven't had engine trouble. There are two other problems I have had with the car in the 10 years I've had it are that the check engine light does come on at the slightest provocation (most of the time there isn't actually a problem, about half of these times it was actually just telling me I hadn't put the gas cap on tight enough) and a more recent problem that is my fault: I broke one of the clips that secure the turn signal bar. It still works, but it is now all floppy instead of the resistance it is supposed to have. For its age the car gets pretty good mileage (20 MPG with regular unleaded, better mileage if you use higher quality gas) The seats are really comfortable, there's a lot of storage space in the console and glove box. I love my car, and am very glad this is the one I chose when I was shopping. A lot of people get rid of a new car before ten years, and I have stuck with my car for ten years, and it was already 8 years old when I bought it.

I really like how well this car performs. It has a v8 engine and is incredibly powerful. It also has a very sleek and pleasing design, and I really enjoy the Mercedes emblem on the hood of the car. One thing I dislike about this car is the fuel economy. It takes premium gas and does not get very good miles per gallon. Something I really enjoy about this car, is the ease of installation of subwoofers, due to the battery location under the backseat of the car.
