New 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 & E550 Convertible Review

Posted By: Park Place Motorcars, Mercedes-Benz Dealer - 2011-05-16

Mercedes-Benz E-Class convertibles are available for sale to clients in Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, Austin, Oklahoma City and Little Rock from Park Place Motorcars.

For 2011, some of the most popular models include the 2011 E350 Cabriolet and the 2011 E550 Cabriolet, which offer year-round enjoyment with the convertibles' finely tailored triple-layer soft-top and comfortable seating for four. When you experience the E-Class Cabriolet, you will enjoy the time of your life.

With the careful design from Mercedes-Benz engineers and available E-Class features, you can choose roof down or roof up based on your mood, not weather temperatures. The E-Class Cabriolet convertibles virtually eliminate drafts to create an environment where a cooler evening feels like a warm afternoon. Also taming the wind is Aircap, a wind deflector on the windshield that opens with a press of a button. For rainy and snow days, the inch-thick and insulated soft top wraps you in style and comfort within 20 seconds. Optional cooled and heated seats along with Airscarf cut the bite on extreme weather days.

Powering the E350 is a smooth 268-hp V6 engine with seamless seven-speed automatic transmission. For more power, the 2011 E550 Cabriolet serves up a scorching 382-hp supported by its 5.5-liter V8 engine and standard paddle-shifted seven-speed transmission. "While the car is thoroughly modern, it's the good old-fashioned V8 power that wins us over," writes MSN Autos in its review of the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class convertible.

Accessorizing the sportier E550 are an aggressive front fascia, 18-inch wheels and sport-tuned multilink suspension with Dynamic Handling. Aside from designing comfortable convertibles with minimal drafts, Mercedes-Benz also invests a lot of time in ensuring its cars remain a leader in safety since inventing the crumple zone 60 years ago. The E-Class body structure uses high strength steel in specific areas of the convertible as well as special reinforcements to support the car without a fixed roof.

Mercedes-Benz supplies Cabriolets with high-strength steer roll bars that deploy in milliseconds when the car detects a rollover. Pre-Safe monitors for instability and acts when it recognizes imminent collision or rollover by closing windows, tightening front seat belts and adjusting passenger seat and front head restraints to better support and prepare passengers.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet is a great car for travel - short or long. Whether you're going across Dallas and on to Fort Worth, or taking a road trip to visit the new Clinton library in Little Rock, Arkansas then consider driving there in the comfort and style of a new Mercedes-Benz E350 from Park Place Motorcars.

Both the Mercedes-Benz E350 and E550 are so popular that Park Place can't keep them on the lot long enough to post them in the inventory online.
