Dodge Viper vs. Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the E-Class to the dealership as the Viper. The Dodge Viper pales in comparison to the E-Class when it comes to gas mileage. Producing an exact fuel economy evaluation is so tricky that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the E-Class and the E-Class perform about similarly regarding gas mileage. Regarding MSRP, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class costs tremendously less than the Dodge.

Utility
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class will most definitely prove handier than the Dodge Viper for those of you with frequent child-cargo.

Convenience
You'll quite certainly have to take the Viper for a fill-up more often than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class's front cabin compared to the Viper.

Dimensions
The Dodge Viper's tank is about the same size as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class's, though the Mercedes-Benz E-Class's is a little bigger. The Viper and the E-Class compete for the same parking spaces. The Dodge's shorter wheelbase will give a sprier feel in daily traffic. On the other hand, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Viper are genuine sportscars. As far as horsepower, the Dodge Viper packs quite a wallop and will knock the Mercedes-Benz E-Class down a few rungs. However, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is definitely nimbler than the Dodge Viper, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, keep in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Viper has a more massive engine than the E-Class. Note that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the Dodge Viper is tremendously more powerful than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Dodge Viper isn't quite as generous as the E-Class's.
