YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Very comfortable, firm seating,even after very long drives. The combination of lumbar support and heat leaves me refreshed after eight- and nine-hour drives. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2007 4dr Sedan 507-horsepower 6.2L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Lots of room and has adjustments on multicontour seats. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2006 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I could fall asleep in this thing. Great seat heaters and adjustability. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2005 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 The seat room for front passengers is excellent, and there is still enough room for rear passengers. We had an Acura TL before, and it was far less roomy than the E500. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review

6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Legroom felt narrow for passenger over tranny tunnel. see full Lexus IS review
2010 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Lousey seats: uncomfortable and build is cheap and not conforming to human posture. But, seems last several years most cars have lousey, cheap and uncomfortable seats. see full Lexus IS review
