2004 E500 4MATIC
One Happy Owner

Picked up my new E500 4MATIC today--my first Mercedes. Very happy with everything thus far--Sirius and GPS works great, even in the concrete canyons of Manhattan. I love this car! I was a bit concerned about many of the gripes posted here and elsewhere--especially the "wooden" feel of the brake-by-wire--but thus far, I'm extremely pleased. Will post pics when we get a new digital camera--ours just died.

Congratulations on your new ride!!!!
Don't worry about the gripes, they represent a very small percentage of MB owners and most that are built are great touble free cars (including mine).

Enjoy..........
