This car has many standard features for a 2001, some rather subtle, that some brand new cars don't have. It has supreme traction in the snow and rain when fitted with proper tires. This E-class rides smooth as glass around town, has seating for 5, and can also easily carry 3 golfers (late for a tee time) 128 mph down the highway. There's even a button to flip the rear headrests down to increase visibility while backing up. I could go on forever, but long story short, the 2001 Mercedes-Benz E430 4matic is a keeper.

So where to start off with this piece of beauty that was beautiful? My parents purchased this car for me (a college student) back in August 2014 and sadly we had to lay her to rest because I got T-boned with my friend present, we were coming home from the Eagles game against the Houston Texans on Sunday, December 23, 2018. Of course I took the hood ornament to remind myself that she saved two lives. I was the driver and the car got t-boned on the driver side. Had so many adventures with my W210. Got hit really hard at an unknown speed (don't know how fast the guy was going who hit me so HARD). Suffered ZERO ABSOLUTELY ZERO INJURIES and same with my friend. This car did play an important role in my life and she was the absolute best car that I had ever driven and it makes me cry that she is gone forever. This was the last best Mercedes that Mercedes built because doesn't matter how fancy the newer ones are this Benz drove like a dream with little to no issues. I wish I could post the pics on here but I can't. It's rather ironic the night before the accident occurred, my mom told me to drive her piece of **** Honda CR-V 2007 which did not have an airbag in the driver door (did have a side curtain to cover the window), while my Benz had an airbag in the door and the side curtain airbag. The day after the crash I sat in my mom's Honda and saw where I got hit. In her car she has an armrest while the Benz had an airbag and that would have been painful if I was in the Honda and her car most likely would have tipped on its side and my friend being next to me would have been trapped. I most likely would have been in the hospital with my friend for maybe a week or who knows but didn't even have to go to the hospital because I knew I was safe and my friend as well. This is why I loved my mercedes and she will NOT and I said NOT be the last Mercedes that I own. Alright my dad has two (one for him and his old one in the garage for over a decade now) but she will not be the last Mercedes that I own. Its rather funny a ton of my friends asked me (BEFORE THE ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE) all of them said, so when you graduate college which car are you going to buy? I said back at all of them, do you know what kind of question you just asked me???? Also my mother really wanted to get rid of the car once I graduated and I wasn't going to allow her to do that to my baby. If you want my opinion, BUY IT!!!! This car is well worth the money for its power and safety. The only regret I had about this car was is I should have gone for the E320 Wagon because I have a big dog, Newfoundland, so she could not scratch the back seats because they were in perfect condition when we bought it from the first owner and two I'm more of a traveler in the summer and the Wagon would have been a much better suit for me personally. I know my description is all over because this car always drove me happy. Lastly, yes I was able to get a bunch of hot ladies to go out for dinner with me and me driving this vehicle. College gentlemen if you want to impress a hot lady go for this car. If you end up marrying her then great but if she says that it's time to get rid of that old car DON'T LISTEN TO HER because then that is a sign that she is sick and not being herself. The W210 can easily run up to a million miles easy and still drive like its a newborn while Ford or Chevy and the American vehicles would be driving like a grumpy old grandpa before it can EVEN reach 200,000 miles.

Simply put this car has power and handle in the worst weather condition! It's almost unreal how well it got through snow, rain, etc in the Northeast (Boston). It also carries the legend of the three pointed star ( great ride, comfort, dependability,room,etc ). I'm glad I didn't go the ML route and the G wagon just isn't my cup of tea. The e430 4matic is all the 4 wheel drive I need. My family loves it. I highly reccomend the Starmark warranty because you will want to keep this one for a long time. The A6 4.2 or older A8 AUDI is not even close to this one. If you need a awd sedan you'll now what I'm talking about.
