I loved the styling of the E500. It was classy but drove like a sports car. It was an eight cylinder engine so it was fast as can be and super fun to drive. It handled well and wove in and out of traffic like a dream. You could feel the quality and it felt heavy and safe. The driver's seat had both a fantastic heating system and a cooling system and even a massager! By far the most comfortable seat I've ever had in a car. The back seats didn't have a lot of room but I rarely had any passengers. On the down side, the car was a lemon and the transmission went in the first 3500 miles. Plenty of other things went bad too so I did not keep this car past the factory warranty before trading it in. An oil change was incredibly expensive as well. When asked, would I buy one again however, my answer is always absolutely. The advantages far out weighed the disadvantages.
