Positive Review
From the black wood and leather steering wheel to the air cooled seats, this car has practically every upgrade possible, even the Graphite colored exterior and the dark red interior were upgrades. Both front seats have over 10 points of adjustments, there are 2 just in the lower back and one that closes on your back holding you stable thru turns. On performance, as with any low mileage Mercedes equipped with their latest technology, the car is awesome. It is fast, handles perfectly and gets great gas mileage.

I was under the impression this was fine German engineering. Buying CPO three years ago, as soon as the warranty expired, so did the fine German engineering. In the past year alone, we have had to put $10,000 in repairs with a car with less than 100,000 miles. Back to less than fine American engineering!

Slightly used. Park inside a parking garage at home. Bought for my wife to use but she never drove it. She is now retired.
Fairly new tires, about 6000 miles before service is due. Bright red with black top. Great condition.
I bought it CPO in 2016. Right bow have 95,000 miles on it service it at an independent shop. I change all the fluids (oil basicaly once a year and th coolant, transmission every 4years or 50k miles) she drives like new.
Great car. Most people I see think it’s a new car. Very classic and timeless styling. If you see one that’s been well cared for buy it.
Too many problems with the car. Bought brand new and now mileage is 50k. Spent $3k every year since last 5 years to fix issues. Battery dies down every time I don’t drive for 2 days. This car is piece of junk.

Do not buy the 2010-2013 E class coupes!!! Having owned a 70s, 80s, and 90s, and 2000s Mercedes-Benz and always pampered them, I know how to maintain these expensive cars. I was excited to own my next MB which was a 2011 E350 coupe from a dealer four yrs ago in 2019. I got this gorgeous car with 65,000 miles. It now has 110k miles on it. It is a stunning car with a pano roof and pillar-less windows, a strong engine and even sport mode. The problem with this car is that it has a self-raising and lowering steering wheel for when you open and close the driver door. This steering wheel system is a problem for these 2010-2013 E class Mercedes. My E350 has had to have the steering column adjuster rebuilt 3 times at $700-900 each time, yet no accident and always pampered. Now it’s 2023, and I have to replace the entire steering column and all its parts for thousands of dollars at my MB dealer. I hope to help others who are considering these 2010-2013 E Class coupes and sedans to maybe look at something else or you’ll be paying thousands to maintain these faulty cars. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Have a good one.
Few minor accidents, most recent rear ended in slow traffic. Always repaired by Mercedes benz car shop to best condition.

Low profile tires and potholes don't mix well
I have thoroughly enjoyed every mile of the 6,000 that I have put on this 7 year old car. I bought one that had all the service records and drives and feels like its 6 months old. This car purrs like a kitten, but accelerates like a cheetah. Zero to 60mph in 6 seconds is more than enough while getting 27.5 - 29 mpg on my highway commute. The standard Harmon Karden sound system sounds just right but a little difficult to navigate. I went with the luxury package over the sport model because I had to have the emblem and a car that looks more like an S Class that the sport model looking like a C-Class. I was hoping that extra inch of padding on the luxury tire over the sport would provide more cushion for the New England pot holes but I've already had one pot-hole induced flat in the middle of the Sumner Tunnel. The tow-truck driver put on the donut and says it looks like it has had a lot of use. So far no regrets, best overall car I've ever driven. While a Benz might cost more to maintain, buying a used one normally means they have been treated well by its previous owners.
