It sounds like you rented the old model. There is a new one that just came out. I think it is the W213 model. We rented one in Europe last month and it was really nice. Much better than I expected from a "sofa on wheels". The new one comes with an amazing 9 speed transmission. A totally different experience than what you are describing.
Look, the e-class is not a 3er. Totally different market. But, the new e class is very nice indeed. Check out the review and test drive one if you get a chance.
