E350 4-matic
New owner here-- picking up car today!!!!!
Very excited! Specs:
2014 E350 4-matic Sport
--Lunar Blue/tan interior
--Loaded (HK etc, but no leather... original MSRP $66K)
--has only 3500 miles
--CPO extends until Feb 2020 (unlimited miles)
--48,900, 2.99% financing-- purchase
Awesome car! I'm coming from a leased 2013 Lexus GS350 F-sport. That's a great car too. Impressions: Lexus is more sport-oriented--tighter steering, amazing cornering, but the Mercedes is much more refined and the PERFECT suspension. (Btw, I much prefer the E350's Sport over the Econ setting after driving for an hour). The E350 engine feels so much more powerful than the numbers suggest--way better than the Lexus, which feels underpowered..
In regards to the E350 seats--apparently a common complaint here-- they are about 1 inch too short. Hard seats like these need to be longer. So, for me, I easily have found a comfortable position by keeping the lumbar support totally off, and tilting the seat back a little more than usual (while keeping the seat bottom flat, not tilted), so my butt sits further back a bit. This in effect lengthens the seat bottom and improves comfort tremendously.
