Just saying hi.

I recently purchased a 2013 E350, 4Matic, Polar white w/natural beige interior. It has a lot of nice options between the P1 and P2 options. It is a sport, but with the comfort suspension and 15K miles.

A couple of things I was reading and didn't know what to expect, since the vehicles on the lot in my city all have MB Tex, were how I would like the multi contour seats and the ventilated seats. I am happy to report that I find the seats hard, but supportive and definitely appreciate the seat ventilation to help cool them down when they are hot. Also, for big men, not tall (although I am 6ft tall) but wide with broad shoulders, I fit in the seat just fine and the seat controls are not bothersome to my wide butt. So there is that, if it helps. I can feel the side seat bottom bolsters but they seem to be okay. I was worried about my shoulders but I have enough room.

I've owned several Mercedes (S420, C230-K, E320 Wagon) and I also have a 08 Volkswagen Touareg 2, which has been a great vehicle. I thought I would try to go with a Lexus or maybe even a Kia or Hyundai to keep maintenance cost down and they all were nice, but they were missing something. Except the LS460, it was really nice but aesthetically isn't my type of luxury interior. Glad to be back again!

Nice ride! That is my ideal color combo, will be looking to upgrade into that next year as I'm sick of black!

I also bought my car from Texas Cars Direct! Great experience, minus the ****ty new tires they put on

congrats
