I've driven a 1996 E320 and it is a fast car despite its aging 4-speed Auto compared to the 1997 E320's with their 5-speed autos.

Test drove a 1995 E320 SE and I managed to break the traction loose just putting the foot down a little more than usual from start.

However the week before that I also drove a 1994 E320 that was in worse condition. That one was rather sluggish...
