 I've owned a bunch of different nice luxury cars over the years including a Cadillac CTS, 3 Series BMW, 5 older Mercedes Benz cars and when I was trying to figure out what to buy I compared the E Class to several others like the Acura TL, Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series.This car is by far the nicest I've owned or driven.It is very stylish and even with the 3.5L V6 it gets up and goes!!!!The Paddle shifts make you feel like a race car driver when you are getting on the freeway.Mine has the Sports package and the P1 Package and it looks killer in black with the low profile 18" wheels.I get compliments on it from any one who sees it or rides in it.Great car!!!44k Miles so far so good.
