The 2003-06 models had a very problematic brake-by-wire system, where the brake pedal electronically controlled how much braking force was actuated. Thank God, there was a mechanical backup, because these always failed, requiring an expensive trip to the dealer.<br /><br />Avoid the 03-06, and it's not too terrible.Ed Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-3207453024865718182014-02-20T08:16:14.978-08:002014-02-20T08:16:14.978-08:00@Sanchez: Yes.

My friend us...Thought you were looking for manual?<br /><br />My friend used to have W211 E350.<br />From what I can remember quite a problematic car.<br />Many frequent electronic hardware problems here and there with big bills to pay. Of course different weather and climate conditions and such. But I think this generation is infamous for not being up to level of W210 in terms of reliability and is very pale compared to W124.<br />Sancheznoreply@blogger.com
