2012 and 2013 E 350 4matic sport
I'm thinking of buying one of these soon. Are there any significant pros or cons for these two models? I've done the online and test drive research that I can, but I haven't talked with an owner of either model. Please give me the good, the bad and the ugly based on your personal experience. Thanks.

i dont think you will find much of a difference between 2012 or 2013. i do have a 2012 and my parents a 2010 which is a very big difference though. 2013 will probably be best as they would have sorted out any "issues" the 2010-12 would have had. My 2012 has been nothing short of amazing after 5 years of owning it and 65k miles. I do maintain it up to Mercedes's manual and the engine drives as good as it did in 2013 when i got the car. Also to note i dont have a 4matic it is RWD.
pros:
Everything about the car just feels right. The power, handling, ride quality, transmission, and braking are all smooth and all feel paired together well. Truly a car you wont regret buying.
cons:
I do kind of wish sometimes I had a bigger engine (E550) or a smaller car to park easier. both not really bad though. this car was #1 in its class for many years for a reason
