I kida wish I didnt buy the Hemi Charger now because I wanted to buy the E350 but I couldnt go back to a V6.
I would have an E350 right now and more money in the bank.

2002 Accord EX V6 which I still have and will probably put 10K miles on it each year until the wheels fall off. Best car I've ever owned.

Hoping my new 2009 E350 Sport will become the best car I've ever owned. Never purchased an extended warranty for a car before but this forum scared me into it for this one. Will only put 15K miles on this one each year until the Accord dies.

Honda CR-V, baby! Great for hauling kids. The S55 hauls them faster, and in much more style and comfort, but I get extremely nervous when they start a tantrum

I agree with the accord. I still have a 98 accord ex v6 with 220K miles. Besides the clunky transmission, this car does not know how to quit. Never had Honda motor problems. All my 5 Honda's have reached the 200K mark (or already there).

As for my 03 e500 125K, i am still having problems with it - oil leaking everywhere, doesn't look good. When it worked, i loved getting into it everyday.

I was driving a 2002 S430 before getting a 2006 E500 Sport AMG package. I miss the leg room in the back I had with the S-Class since I have 3 kids, but oh well

2005 Volvo V70 2.5T loaded with everything factory except Xenon and wood steering wheel. Euro Delivery in September 2004.
Versatility and excellent brakes missed...lack of rear seat room and numerous interior rattles not missed.
