E350

Pretty mundane for this board, but I'm buying a car of my daughter and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the E350 - looking to get her an '08 this weekend.

Thanks

er, how old is your daughter? E class is more for 40-55 yo. If she is 16-25, i'd consider something younger. perhaps a C or CLK?

I like the E, its a great driving car IMO. But like another member said, if your daughter is younger, I would go for something a little bit more sporty.

E-classes have the best lease deals out there. Got an '07 E350 for the wife which lasted only 7 months before boredom set in.

I agree... E-class definitely does not suit a young girl. Get her a CLK350 convertible and she'll be very happy

The better alternatives are the CLK350 and C350, they are slightly smaller and easier to park.

She voted with everyone here - she wanted something a little "younger" - she opt'd for the low mileage lease turn in SLK.
