This makes
commuting
relaxing. It’s quiet,
solid, and supple,
with an interior
that rivals those of
$200,000 cars.

Mercedes’s
mid-size wagon is
such a welcome
relief from the
lumbering SUVs
I usually find
myself in whenever
I’m covering long
distances.
—ERIC TINGWALL
I requested the
E-class wagon for
my wedding

how much I love it.
—BETH NICHOLS
In a world where
so many cars
are trying too hard,
I love the confi-
dence represented
by the E’s lazy
second-gear starts
and occasionally
floaty body
control.
