Overall, the Mercedes Benz E-Class Sedan is a home run. I've driven the car statewide (I live in Texas) and the performance of this automobile is superb. This car handles well in all types of weather, is quiet, and has enough "go" that I feel comfortable driving in hilly and mountainous terrain. What I dislike about this car is the auto shift into turning the gas off while idling or at a stop. When this feature is chosen, once you accelerate, the car hesitates and sputters as if it is about to die. My husband drives the car with this feature on 24/7; I turn it off.
