The Mercedes E-Class is a mid-size sedan that is larger than the C-Class and smaller than the S-Class. An E-Class with Bluetooth allows you to connect your phone to the car. You can answer the phone using a button on the steering wheel and talk on the phone using the car stereo speakers while you are driving. This lets you focus on driving instead of operating your cell phone.
