What do I get on an entry-level, don't have an extra dime for anything else model?
You'll be satisfied to know that if it's a stretch for you to get in an E-Class, at the base level you'll still be driving home with a very well-equipped, luxurious automobile. As has been a theme throughout this conversation, safety comes standard in droves. From nine airbags to electronic stability control to a full tire pressure monitoring system, you can rest assured that even if you don't have funds for some of the more advanced safety features like night vision, you and your occupants will be safe regardless. Other standard items that you can benefit from (that don't require an accident) include hand polished wood trim, interior ambient lighting, an 8-speaker sound system with in-dash 6-disc DVD/CD changer and auxiliary input jack, Bluetooth for hands-free calling, power tilt/ sliding sunroof, and most everything else you would expect a luxury car in this class should come with.
