Hello from Orlando
Good morning everyone. I just traded in my 2011 GT500 and took the plunge into a 2014 E350 sport sedan almost loaded minus the pano roof (really wanted that option lol). My first impression of this E Class was that I would not be satisfied due to not having the extreme power and looks. I was wrong!!! The E Class I picked up is the Sport version in Steel Grey. It looks menacing from the front and the AMG wheels gives it that look that it can keep up with the big boys. Yes, I don't have 680+hp on tap as before but this car is no slouch by any means. Yes sport mode doesn't feel as lively as the C400 I tested but this is a cruiser and I feel the transmission is doing everything just fine for my new taste. I will post pics soon, but before I do I need to get my windows tinted and I'm out pricing some new Vossen Wheels (CV3) to go on my new car. Have any of you left the sports/muscle car arena to step into one of these and if so how was the change for you?

Welcome to MBWorld and grats on the pickup. What you lose in power, you definitely pick up in luxury, quality, and refinement. As you say, she's still no slouch.

I added my E430 as my first passenger car in over 25 years. I have been driving vintage and modern Land Cruisers as well as my daily driver, '03 Duramax Silverado, which I still drive every day. The performance and handling of the Benz is something from another universe compared to what I have been driving.
