2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class - Excellent car for its age.
While this car has a heavy build, I think it is in the heaviness that drivers find a sense of safety. Mercedes-Benz is known to be a luxury brand and with it I feel like people want to get the most for their money. Not only are consumers getting the brand, I think the solid and heavy build of the car lends to a feeling of being safe while driving as well. This car has over 120,000 miles on it but still drives very smoothly. However, I feel like the heavy build of the car does impact its performance on the road. I have driven lighter cars that handle better. I have experienced no issues with sound quality or electric problems while driving the car. Since this is an older car the look is a little outdated, but not so much for the year that it was made. I wouldn't say it's an incredibly p...

Since this is an older car the look is a little outdated, but not so much for the year that it was made. I wouldn't say it's an incredibly practical car because it is a little bigger than an average sedan and drives a little slower because it is so heavy. It is however very comfortable and the leather and interior in general have maintained a fresh look over the past 14 years. Because it is an 03 model I would not say it is fuel efficient. This car has a lot of little compartments in the front side of the car, including the dashboard area as well as the center console. It's great for storing things.
I've had great times driving locally on summer nights with the music up and the windows down.

My favorite features include the face clock on the dashboard and all the small compartments up front.
