2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class generally appreciate its luxury, comfort, and performance. Many highlighted its reliability and smooth driving experience, often comparing it favorably against competitors like Audi and BMW. However, some drivers noted the car's high price and a few expressed disappointment with power for certain models, particularly regarding transmission performance. Overall, the E-Class stands out as a quality vehicle in its segment."
I have owned my 2012 E63 for about 18 months now. It has been totally reliable and trouble-free. It is really a sleeper, in that most people assume it is a more pedestrian E class. I have frequently been able to leave Camaro SS's and Mustang GT's in the dust at the stop light grand prix. I previously owned a BMW M5, which I really liked, but it is totally outclassed by this Mercedes. This is truly a world class automobile.
April 27, 2014It definitely has more than what Ive anticipated in terms of luxury, power, and comfort features....big difference compared to my BMW 528. Great value and I intend to keep it and enjoy driving it for a long time.
July 25, 2024Great value for an excellent car. Purchased 2013 model E350 two years ago from same dealer and had nothing go wrong in it. This one looks brand new and drives smoothly, which shows that the previous owners really babied this car. Combined with the purchase of a 3-year extended warranty that covers everything, I can drive with peace of mind for 3 years knowing that all potential major repairs are covered. These cars however can drive for many more years with no major repairs if you drive them properly and take good care of them. Drove 2006E in the past for 8 years without any issues at all, so I believe this one will last much longer.

February 2, 2022I can't get enough of this car. She is a Beauty when it comes to looks and a beast when it comes to power. Handling is a dream. I am glad I never got the AMG model.... Otherwise I would have too many speeding tickets! The lights in this car are amazing. It's succulent luxury.
August 31, 2014This is not a family car but is great for three season top down driving. If you want more than a hole in your roof you can't beat this Benz for fun and looks and price in it's class.I would recommend this car to anyone.
February 5, 2012The greatest blend of quality, comfort, and fun to drive. I have 2 W212 E-Class cars and they have been very reliable. I also have a W211 with 180k miles, so these cars are built to last and stay looking great.
January 27, 2021Great luxury car, german are the best (with brits :) at building luxury and sports cars. This one is just one of the high end of what they make. On top it is loaded with options, like blind-spot alert, lane tracking, premium package, Harman Kardon sound...
October 11, 2014Absolute beast of a car. A shed load of torque in any gear at any revs. Luxury and supercar speed and power in a 4 door family Sedan. This joins its brother from another mother, E60 M5 in my stable.
April 2, 2023After owning other midsized luxury cars this tops them all in my opinion. AWD, sharp handling when needed but floating road manners when commuting. Over 300 hp on tap but I still average around 35mpg on my highway commute to work.
May 18, 2015All rounder, classy car. Comfortable, practical, durable and reasonable cost of ownership but not as fun to drive as the BMW 5 series
