Thinking of getting a 2012 E350 Cabriolet

just test drove a 2012 E350 Cabriolet at my local dealer. We currently have a 13 GLK and 95 SL320, both of which are great vehicles. We are thinking of trading in the GLK and selling the SL and moving to one Merc.
The E350 seems to check off all the boxes for us and is in pristine condition.
Any one that owes the E cabriolet that wants to share their thoughts would be appreciated.

You won't find a better convertible for the money. What did you wind up doing? Check out the V8s, they are really worth the extra money if it doesn't blow the budget.

We just got back from the dealer and we traded our GLK in on a 2010 CLS550 Grand edition, it wasn't even on our radar but we took it for a test drive and fell in love. Hope we made a good choice
Thanks for the reply

Nice, I love it when people buy cars out of passion. Best of luck with it.

Same thing happened to me. Took my year old GLK in for an inspection. There, on the lot with a big Christmas ribbon on the hood, was a black C63AMG. Guess what I drove home? Wifey was NOT happy.

You won't regret it... I love my E350 CDi cab.
The drive, ride, performance & equipment are excellent imho...
Back seats are comfortable for shorter trips
Enjoy :-)

My Man!

Seriously. I had an E350 coupe. Loved it, wish I would have kept it. Second time around would definitely be a convertible E550.

We just traded a 2009 Jag XF for a 2012 E350 Cab. We also have a 2012 GLK. I love the E350 already. I can't think of one annoying thing (yet), except for maybe the constant on/off of the parking assist icon.
