Summary: This car is an utter piece of garbage. I had a 2001 E-class which was an amazing car. This is no longer a quality Mercedes Benz vehicle; it's a dumbed-down, light-weight, bouncy low-end auto. My 10 year old Honda Accord rides better.
Strengths: accelerates like a bat out of hell, once you get used to the delay of the drive-by-wire electronic accelerator.
Weaknesses: Lightweight vehicle with dodgy suspension. Expect to feel every crack like it's a major pothole, and bounce around like a cork on the ocean when you hit a bump.

Strengths: 150 hp engine offers a good performance in diesel,
Extremely smooth 5 speed automatic transmission,
Excellent comfort, sitting angles, leg room,
Generous space for luggage,
Very comfortable handling: location of transmission selector, cruise control etc.
Weaknesses: yet -
Extremely weak a/c for hot countries,
Digital display can't be read at day light,
Pockets in rear of front seats come off,
Vibration of roof around sun roofs in diesel version,
Plastic handles come off,
Rear A/C intake in trunk can easily be covered by suitcases,
Rear door would not close promptly,
Hydraulic front seats do not hold (sink)
Worst of all - it takes the dealership 6 months to react and respond to complaints.
I should state that the vehicle is excellent, with poor workmanship and poor service (In Israel, might be different where dealership would not be a monopoly)

This car is very reliable, never fail me despite of the maintainence such as brake job; oil change; tune up, etc.. Especially I do these maintainences myself, it saved me a lot of money. this is the best mercedes ever made.
Strengths: Great handling; stopping power; a power of V8 is responsive. Easy to fix when you more familiar with Mercedes.
Weaknesses: No cup holder; no glovebox compartement; only console compartement.
