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

You can get rid of the bars at the top and bottom of the nav screen. push up on the command wheel from the nav screen and choose "full screen"

Have had the car since the year it came out, its held up really well, and by the way you can make the navigation screen full screen with a simple up push and then down push on the screen navigator

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.

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

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.

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.

@Oneness100

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.

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.

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.
