If you are ready to cough up $50000, you can be a proud owner of this 275 hp giant which zooms up like rocket yet looking like a normal sedan from Mercedes Benz E-class stable. It is powered by a new V8, the E430 was first time introduced in January which was to replace the old V-8 model, the E420. This engine also is an inspiration for the new ML 430, which is V8 version and is a widely popular vehicle.
E-class name first came on scene in 1994 was a face up version of W124. W124 was introduced in 1986 in the America but same old name was used until 1994 when it was named E-class. It is a pretty engineering marvel, which produces more power at lower RPM than the old V-8 as it has a two stage intake mechanism. It shoots the two ton E class to 60 miles per hour in only 6 seconds. Using just three valves and two spark plugs per cylinder. It has been designed to meet emission standards and has a good mileage. Though fast off the line, E430 sucks up the highway miles as if it is nothing for it. If you speed up at 80 miles per hour, you may feel that you are just crawling. V-6 version of E-sedan is no kid, as it gives 221 horsepower.
However V-8 is icing on the cake. It is smooth, agile, and gives immense confidence to the owner with its superb performance. Though cost wise it is $4000 costly that V6. Five speed automatic transmissions is capable of delivering the power required, which is further propped up by a computer capable system which is capable of observing the drivers driving and it then adjusts its shifting in most suitable way.
Though the ride is not as smooth as on most of the other luxury cars like E430's competitor, the Cadillac. It's fine for handling, which is no doubt superb, but the few of the drivers could point out the noise in the car as it stumbs on the concrete passages or an occasional bump. The interiors of the cars is plush usual E-class stuff, which is conservative and to the need. While the sedan is midsize, the medium range Mercedes, the interior of the car is surprisingly spacious and has a lot of headroom and good seat set with back rest which will fit persons of all sizes. The car offers a lot of space for the leg and shoulder movement for all sizes.
The interior space of the car is expansive. The trunk space in the car is pretty small for a normal vacation tour for a week. E-class needs to have a look on this point. E430 is fully loaded with the safety features, like side air bags, anti lock brakes, and new electronic brake systems in it. This new systems are called brake assist. This mechanism actually stops the car on its own it senses some panic and applies the brakes faster than the driver of the car could have. It is available as five passenger, four door car which is real wheel driven with a price of $50,500, Engine 4.3 lets V-8, 275 horsepower at 5700 rpm, Transmission is five speed automatic and its curb weight is 3600 pounds.
