German Car Zone

So my aunt had Christmas dinner out at her house tonight and the whole family came over. One of my cousins showed up who has been looking to get a new car for sometime, she's worked hard in school, has since graduated and is doing very well. Anyways, she sat down, we chit chatted and she told me she had a surprise sitting in the driveway out in front of the house. So I went out and low and behold there was a Black '07 E350 sedan w/ 18" Brabus Monoblock VI's completely debaged (model designation only). So as you can see, it looks pretty darn nice!!! She was also cool enough to let me drive it, so I hoped behind the wheel in those big comfy seats and popped the key in the ignition. First thing I notice was how freak'n quite this thing is when you turn it on, almost like a Lexus. I Took it around the block and out on the street, never really pressed it out of respect for her achievement in obtaining such a beautiful and well made car. To say the least I was extremely impressed by the cars handling, the way it negotiates corners is very fluid and secure. It was fun to drive, not like a Bimmer w/ loads of feel coming through the helm, but classy-comfy MB style. Even w/ 18" low profile tires the ride was still Benz smooth too. She said she might be looking at the 08' C-class when it comes out for the sake of having something slightly more fun to drive, or wait for the 09' E-class if this car proves to be a good experience..

Wow, how come I only spotted this now!?

Good review, to the point.

I agree that the E-Class is fun to drive in its own way. I myself was blown away when I was able to drive the new E280 CDI E-Class (facelifted version). Wow, MB really did their homework and reworked the car bigtime. The new E-Class feels better in every aspect than our 2002 E320 Avantgarde.
