I have a 2011 E350 with 208,000 miles. It runs perfectly and is hands down one of my favorite cars. Only gripe I have with the vehicle is city gas mileage. Thankfully all highway driving I get nearly 28mpg. Hope this help someone
I own this car and have also owned a BMW 525i. Prefer the MB hands down! Very reliable car and a true sedan if that's what you're looking for. I love my MB E350 and will not trade it for a BMW! BMW's are money hungry all the time!
Great review! Have you thought about reviewing the E550? Also, the screen real estate you mention for navigation will switch to full screen by pressing the back button to the left of the console knob. You can also press the talk button and say "full screen."
Ok..... 1st The electronics on these is insane. It tells what it needs when it needs it. It hard to explain. Every system has a back up. You just have to listen. 2nd These car are not built for U.S. roads. They are built for the autobahn. Sport mode is at 80mph. To accelerate quickly while driving YOU NEED TO PUSH DOWN ON THE ACCELERTOR TO FLOOR TIL IT CLICK. DO NOT COME OFF PEDDLE. When you have reached you have reached your desired speed you can cruise at that speed or slow it down. The Benz has many features. However, the must have made in Germany. If you do get it or understand you are NOT a Mercedes Benz driver.
I just picked up the same car and color, only difference is it's 2010, At 63 just retired I have a c-300 2018 which I selling and keeping the 2010 because of 39K miles. it was 16,999 I put down 4k now 13k, payment 240.00 verse a C-300 with 39k and payment of 430.00 so do the math. I don't need to impress anyone so you know where I'm going with this. retired you're on a fix income. So the smaller payment is a no brainer. Insurance is cheaper, and I can watch video's too. Can't do that without spending more and getting less in a later version of vehicle. 8/4/21
They are great cars if you maintain them properly. Their cabin tech doesn’t hold a candle to the latest Mercedes but if you don’t care as much about that then this car is perfect.
I've got a 2013 E350 avantgarde with real leather. 306 HP. Brilliant car, Ive changed the 17 inch rims for 18's with much better tyres, Toyo proxes. The Best car I have ever owned
I have mixed feelings about this video. Of course the car is not good on gas it's RWD. They have never been known to get good gas mileage & people who purchase them normally understands that. Also, how are you comparing a Accord or a Camry with an E class? They don't even compete with one another. This particular E class competes with the 5 series, Jaguar XF, Audi A6 & the Volvo S80 etc.. The E class is the better choice out of it's rivals when comparing to reliability.
sanjit uppal was a great video, my father has owned this car since 2011, and i inherited it this year since i got my license. he had very valid points, just Needs some experience
I have owned a 2010 Mercedes-Benz W212 E350 for over two years. It is now eleven years old. It has 90,000 kilometres or 56,250 miles on the clock. When I put my foot down it has fantastic acceleration. If your 2011 E350 has poor acceleration you need to get it looked at because it is not right. Secondly, as pointed out by other viewers you can easily expand the map on the Nav screen by using the small silver colored wheel on the center console to adjust to full screen. You can also adjust the same small wheel to zoom in and have the map at various distances. The E class in Germany are used as Taxis so they have good build quality decent amount of room inside and a big trunk for luggage. Mercedes
My 2011 E350 Bluetec just run down almost anything on the interstate even Bentley. Acceleration from 80mph to 140mph is just as wow as zero to 80. Stick with MB with Diesel engine
Are these cars still good? There worth like only 10k, i think only 10 years ago they were like 60k. Whats up with that? Im thinking about buying one. Should i not?
Fuck what they say bro. U didn't get it because ur 20 and u don't want the hate....???...well my friend thats why u differ from us.only the bold and determined own mercedes.the best or nothing is not just a slogan, it's a way of life.but yea Audi's are cool too.
People think very little about other people because the kind of people that would crack on you for driving a Mercedes are narcissistic dummies that have no access to a Mercedes.
Try Hards Gaming when you look on to the dash board you’ll see a button with an icon that looks like a coil spring you mostly see it on the E550 which shares almost everything with the CLS 550
That’s overpriced unless it’s in absolute mint condition. I honestly wouldn’t roll the dice on a 120k mile, 10-year old Mercedes. I’d look for one with lower miles.
Turn signal windshield washers and cruise control on the same side is new but will get to used to. Mid 20’s MPG highway is pretty good for a full size luxury sedan. Presenter kept dogging acceleration in Eco mode...Economy/comfort...what we don’t know is what was the condition of the tested vehicle is, fresh oil change, new plugs, tires, filters etc.... I just picked up a 11 E350 and feel power is pretty good even in ECO mode. When I get the phased maintenance overhaul I would project it to basically be a new car again. Filters, water pump, shocks, struts, belts, plugs, transmission service etc.....will do items in phases instead of all at once.
old post but dude i have paddle shifters and thats what there for passing hell man ill ride 3rd an forth gear all day long in manual mode...and i stay in the powerband thats how ya do it. love my paddle shifters. the 7 speed is a good transmission built for crusing tho. want speed..use the shifters.
+revmatch Hey thanks man! I subbed back, your channel looks great! I would love to collab! Just let me know what you want to do. My email is visionsofcars@gmail.com. Looking forward to it!
Depends on what you’re looking for. The benz will give you the best ride quality and luxury features while the g37 and GS are more nimble and fun to drive.
I got an E350 CGI and has 18 inch AMG wheels. Im going to change the tires and Im not sure what size to order. it has 245/40/18 front 265/35/18 rear is it correct? and the year is 2011 and has only 35,418 miles on it

He called it "gutless" in eco-mode. The music is terrible. He doesn't let you hear the motor or acceleration without having to keep talking. That's why all the dislikes.
70k miles is getting on the higher side. Make sure it comes with a warranty or you have a good mechanic who won’t rip you off. I’d recommend either looking for a lower mileage example or making sure you find someone you trust to fix it when it breaks. Also, any car you buy, make sure you get a pre-purchase inspection by a certified mechanic. Only costs like $100 but it will save you a lot of money and headache in the long run.
I found one of these. 2011 E350 with only 15k miles on it. 10/10 inside and out. I also found a 2008 Lexus GS350 with only 60k miles on it. 10/10 inside and out. Like he stated it cost more for the E350 as far as maintenance goes and it will come to problems as it gets older. While the lexus gs350 will go into 300k miles easy by doing your standard maintenance and about 100$-150$ less each oil change and check up. Plus that GS engine is bullet proof! But i love the E class as well. What would you guys do? And yes i know money wise the lexus, but would still love to hear some feed back.
@@yasirsherzad5338 It was amazing!! But i had to sell it, started my own Medical Transportation business. commercial Insurance for a year is up there. Best car ive ever owned. Still miss it. Just dont get the 300, get the 350. If possible get the 09 or 2010 and up, i believe they have bluetooth built in.
The tires are expensive, about $200 per tire for a good set like Michelin or Continental. Oil changes and inspections are also fairly expensive at about $150-200 per 10,000 miles.
The car has been dead reliable. The only repairs done recently were new rotors and a transmission mount. Other than that, it still drives great and has no issues. As long as you take care of it and maintain it on time, it should be fine.
I've driven my friends 2013 e350, the air suspension to me freaked me out coming from a 2004 530i BMW when I felt everything in the road. Although the Mercedes drives like a cloud, the connection to the road is what I like, BMW is what I prefer. The Mercedes is boring, don't like the suspension but that's personal preference, steering wheel is also too loose. BMW is much more firm and I like that. And you're right, BMW Maintenance and Repairs will add up and extra $4,500! Over a 10 year period as opposed to Mercedes. But year by year they are pretty similar, if you cannot afford a German Luxury Car (Audi, Benz, BMW, etc) don't get one. If you cannot afford to maintain a BMW don't think you can afford the others as they are all relatively close to the same in maintenance and repairs.
+Joey McMahon Jr I totally agree! I have an 06 Lexus IS350 and an 02 BMW 3-Series, both of which ride pretty harsh. The Mercedes was a completely different experience.
The e350 does not come stock with air suspension. Only the e550 comes with air suspension. The reason I know is because if it did you will be able to lift the car via lift button in the vehicle.
Thanks. Forgive my ignorance. I thought the E Class in that year has the better, faster shifting tranny. If not, what year did they get the faster tranny? Also, approximately, how fast does it do 0-60?
I don’t believe a faster tranny was introduced until the redesign in 2016 for the 2017 model year. I’ve driven the 2018 E400 and E300 and the transmission shifts much quicker. The tranny on the 2011 is extremely slow though. From my tests, the 0-60 time for the 2011 model is around 6.8 seconds.
I'm in the market looking to buy a car and was just getting back into looking at what's available. 0-60 in the 6's is just fine for me. Yeah, I don't like a log of lag, but I want something that's drivable. and I prefer to have it corner flat with good braking over being able to do 0-60 in the 5's or faster. I drove my father's Buick Grand National and that thing was very difficult to control, you had very little gas pedal travel before the thing kicked in and slammed you back in the seat as you begin to tailgate who's in front of you. I don't want a car that's too difficult to drive on the street. To me, 0-60 in the 6's is just fine for me.
+darson4eva Thank you very much! That was one of my first videos I made almost a year ago. I now have much better equipment to make my production quality higher.
Yah, I just saw the Camaro video and it is very polished. The down side of that is that now it looks a lot like everyone else's. This has more of a 'raw' feel to it which I like.
@@CarVisionLA I guess people should get a Honda Accord then, safe choice. After all the new car won't have any problems. It'll be safe/reliable. And then all they need to do is put all their money on a really safe interest-bearing account and wait to die. Sounds like the safe option.
Awesome video, man!. It made me buy one !

If you're not getting any power out of the car, you better get it serviced. My v6 E350 has no issues.

How’s the 550 been?
Trying to get one and upgrading from an E350
New V6 Accord or a used E350..He answered nearly every question . Great job.
Accord, easy.
When you buy a Mercedes you are not thinking about saving gas that is for a Toyota.
Thank you. Some people still don't get it. If you're worried about gas that much you're not going to be able to afford the maintenance
I don’t care about the gas, is it reliable is the real question
I own this car and have also owned a BMW 525i. Prefer the MB hands down! Very reliable car and a true sedan if that's what you're looking for. I love my MB E350 and will not trade it for a BMW! BMW's are money hungry all the time!
Obed Jimenez no;
Frank E. Dobso, Jr. n yes , BMW are absolute garbage unless it’s a 7 series and up
Shoaib K The 7 series is the worst of the bunch!
Just shows how things have changed for the younger generation. When I was in my 20s that car would be quicker than the Ferrari of my day.
It dropped to 8k-10k nowadays
Crazy how some one paid 50k when this car came out in 2011 thn 9 years later you can fine one around 10k
This is a very safe car thought!

@unreal world I agree💯 I went with the GS. No regrets here.
How’s your GS doing? I’m facing the choices at the moment 😅
@@yasirsherzad5338 It was amazing!! But i had to sell it, started my own Medical Transportation business. commercial Insurance for a year is up there. Best car ive ever owned. Still miss it. Just dont get the 300, get the 350. If possible get the 09 or 2010 and up, i believe they have bluetooth built in.
This car is loaded with problems. I have one and it's been nothing short of a nightmare. Save your self the money and buy American.
Looking into a E350 as well
How’s the maintenance cost?
I’m fine with Gas and Insurance
Just wondering about tires, oil and etc...
The tires are expensive, about $200 per tire for a good set like Michelin or Continental. Oil changes and inspections are also fairly expensive at about $150-200 per 10,000 miles.

Thanks for the reply, besides the tires and oil change, how has the car been doing? With reliability and other maintenance items
The car has been dead reliable. The only repairs done recently were new rotors and a transmission mount. Other than that, it still drives great and has no issues. As long as you take care of it and maintain it on time, it should be fine.
@@CarVisionLA same here i just replace power steering pump but haven't had any major issues just hit 100k
How many miles do you have now
This car has 51k miles now.
buy the diesel!
How many miles on your test?
I drove the car about 200 miles over 5 days during the review.
GREAT vid. Thanks my friend.
Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed!

I've driven my friends 2013 e350, the air suspension to me freaked me out coming from a 2004 530i BMW when I felt everything in the road. Although the Mercedes drives like a cloud, the connection to the road is what I like, BMW is what I prefer. The Mercedes is boring, don't like the suspension but that's personal preference, steering wheel is also too loose. BMW is much more firm and I like that. And you're right, BMW Maintenance and Repairs will add up and extra $4,500! Over a 10 year period as opposed to Mercedes. But year by year they are pretty similar, if you cannot afford a German Luxury Car (Audi, Benz, BMW, etc) don't get one. If you cannot afford to maintain a BMW don't think you can afford the others as they are all relatively close to the same in maintenance and repairs.
+Joey McMahon Jr I totally agree! I have an 06 Lexus IS350 and an 02 BMW 3-Series, both of which ride pretty harsh. The Mercedes was a completely different experience.
theorigin1891 my friends e350 came optional with it
The e350 does not come stock with air suspension. Only the e550 comes with air suspension. The reason I know is because if it did you will be able to lift the car via lift button in the vehicle.
Sunglasses? Really? People need to connect with the presenter. Sunglasses preclude that.
Thanks for telling me. I will work that into my future videos.
engelcrona he was prob reading of a script. And even if he wasn't the sun is disturbing why not wear sunglasses
Great video
Thanks!
what year is your beamer?
+Iliek Adaam 2002
Remember me :)
Is that the sport or luxury model?
Sport
Thanks.
Forgive my ignorance. I thought the E Class in that year has the better, faster shifting tranny. If not, what year did they get the faster tranny?
Also, approximately, how fast does it do 0-60?
I don’t believe a faster tranny was introduced until the redesign in 2016 for the 2017 model year. I’ve driven the 2018 E400 and E300 and the transmission shifts much quicker. The tranny on the 2011 is extremely slow though. From my tests, the 0-60 time for the 2011 model is around 6.8 seconds.
I'm in the market looking to buy a car and was just getting back into looking at what's available.
0-60 in the 6's is just fine for me. Yeah, I don't like a log of lag, but I want something that's drivable. and I prefer to have it corner flat with good braking over being able to do 0-60 in the 5's or faster.
I drove my father's Buick Grand National and that thing was very difficult to control, you had very little gas pedal travel before the thing kicked in and slammed you back in the seat as you begin to tailgate who's in front of you. I don't want a car that's too difficult to drive on the street. To me, 0-60 in the 6's is just fine for me.
you are the best broo
+Ahmad Fauza Kamarazaman Thanks!
Amazing 😉 , great video man
+random vlogger Thank you!!
You're a little weird man lol, but yeah just bought the car thanks for the video
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well produced video sir. I can tell you had limited gear but you made it look pretty good.
+darson4eva Thank you very much! That was one of my first videos I made almost a year ago. I now have much better equipment to make my production quality higher.
Yah, I just saw the Camaro video and it is very polished. The down side of that is that now it looks a lot like everyone else's. This has more of a 'raw' feel to it which I like.
Awesome Review Dude! :D
Thanks!
CarVision your welcome :)
The style and comfort of the E class. Forget the Honda Accord. The BMW is another option, I still like this benz best bang for buck styling and luxury
True but a new Honda Accord is comparable in price to a used 2011 E-Class.
@@CarVisionLA I guess people should get a Honda Accord then, safe choice. After all the new car won't have any problems. It'll be safe/reliable. And then all they need to do is put all their money on a really safe interest-bearing account and wait to die. Sounds like the safe option.
