Yes awesome car. My wife ordered a ‘17 with the purple over cream interior. I love it as well. That little V6 twin turbo rocks! Handles great too. We got studded tires for it in the winter time and use it. It will go anywhere.
Just purchased a 2018 E400 with 9k miles, best Mercedes I have owned so far, I'm on my 17th been driving these for 25 years. I love the way it rides and how luxurious the interior is.
Congratulations! I had two C classes before this and I really love this car. I plan to own this for a while and at some point I may upgrade to the 20-in multi-spoke wheels if I can find them for a reasonable price. I also own a set of 18 in wheels for this which I typically use in the winter. Also really nice looking wheels and to be totally honest, I didn't notice a major difference in ride quality going down to the 18 so I believe the 20 would ride pretty well and I wouldn't lose quality.
I have a 2018 C300 and i don’t like it that much bc it’s absolutely uncomfortable driving it and there’s nothing special about it so i’m actually planning to purchase E400 instead how’s the car so far? is it comfortable on the road i’m afraid it drives just like a C class by listening to the noisy engine sound i feel disappointed
It's so great to have a tool like CZcams for entertainment as well to find just about anything one needs or wants to know. I just got my 2017 E 400 Coupe' ( 2 WD ) back from the dealer. I'd like to comment in another post about that experience. My last payment came out of my account in Dec 2022. Now SHE's ALL MINE! After my first visit to the dealer in the state where I live vs where I purchased her, I was thrilled with all of the attention MB gave to me for a state required emission test. Besides being " first class " ( my words after getting into my washed and vacuumed baby ) The service manager walked me back to the car and asked if I had any questions; which I did not have. He mentioned and pointed out this difference between my 2017 and the newer ones 2018 and up. Someone asked you about the rear end style in comments and had the service manager not mentioned it and pointed out the difference it might have taken more time for me to notice. Now that I know, I notice it automatically just driving down the road. I'm going to attempt to photography side by side the differences. If, as the saying goes " Beauty is in the EYE of The Beholder" then a new buyer may get to choose what they like better; if THAT even matters to them. Nearly every review that I watched was a RAVE REVIEW.
Congratulations! In the eye of the beholder for sure. Glad you got to compare and love the 2017! I bet some of the issues I had with the interior trim noise are not present in yours. They were fixed under warranty and I’m still happy and overall appreciate the attention to detail with the dealership and MB vehicles.
I was planning on buying the 2018 e400 coupe ever since it came out, but I was going to wait until at least 2020 to get one used. But I ended up buying a house and that kind of screwed up that plan. I still really want one, but might have to push it off another year or 2 now. Love this car. Also really wanted it in Emerald green, but those are super hard to find
You're welcome. Awesome car! If you get a dark color I recommend a good ceramic coating service. I did that 3 years ago and the car looked even better than new. Still holds up today.
Hi Chris, enjoy watching your review a lot. :) As a 2018 E400 coupe owner in Canada, I have the same 19" AMG wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires, which also come on Corvette C8. So far it works great even on snowy conditions. Mine doesn't come with air suspension either, unlike my 2018 GLE400. Airmatic suspension does a far better job on driving comfort though the system costs an arm and a leg when it comes to replacement. Also, one thing surprised me was that you could store videos in some thumb drive and play them full screen while idling! Last but not least, I love the message function and heated panels (center console and door panels) especially we have cold winters in the north.
Thanks for checking it out! Yes I love the heated panels as well! It's a great car. It has a really nice balance across the board of features, style, class, and you can make it sporty when you are in the mood!
I have been looking for an Airmatic E class coupe of ANY year for about a year now. I have driven many miles and test driven them. None of them have airmatic. Am I just unlucky, or is the airmatic in these super rare????
@@HoodrichShinobi To my understanding from car reviews, Airmatic for an E coupe was a pricy option back then, so the majority of original owners didn't pick it.
Thanks for checking it out. I had the C class before this as well- the 2015 C300. You're going to love this coming from the C class. When I first test drove this car, I literally felt in love- it was euphoric.
@@zachecho9167 A 2017 for sure at low 40s- that would be the previous generation. I think mid to high 40s is possible if you go with higher miles used (like 30k miles) for a 2018. Easily possible if you did a 2018 E300 or 350 sedan, but the coupes are pricier than the sedan and do not offer a 4 cylinder option. For that price range though, you may need to forgo some of the more expensive options like the autopilot for the coupe.
@@munton5150 hopefully some depreciation happens next yr, I’m trying to stick around 42 ish on it. Car markets been weird, sold my 15 c300 for $18k just to see them listed at 27k now
I have a 2015 E 350 4matic sedan and I am looking to get the E400 or 450 coupe, that's why I am here. I saw you do the foot under the bumper trick I guess thats what you would call it. On mines it works both ways. Kick to open and kick to close. One thing I have learned about Mercedes(this is my 2nd one) is that redundancy is key with them. The latch in you driver door to open the trunk also closes the trunk too by pushing it the other way.
That's awesome! That is a great car you have. Yes this one also works with the kick to open and to close as well. I also did another video where I compared the sedan to the coupe if you're interested in checking it out- it's basically the same generation but the coupe versus the sedan. It's on my channel. I always go back and forth between which one I would want more, but for now I love this coupe version. One of the reasons I didn't do the sedan is it looked too similar to the previous C-Class I owned within this generation of Mercedes. But quite honestly, I just fell in love with the coupe after I test drove it.
@@munton5150 I have the lighting package as well and quite frankly I like the first generation of the intelligent light system is awesome along with the LED lights is what made me go and get the E class. But the I'm in my car and I forgot to close the trunk days are over. I don't know any luxury vehicle that did that in 2015. As a matter of fact Mercedes doesn't even tell you about how you can close your trunk without getting out.
@@craigersuis I also have the intelligent LED system as well. It steers with the car and when you turn on the lights at night with the high beams it looks like you are in a military helicopter or something. I don't know how else to describe how amazing it lights things outside and the little light show that it does when you first turn the car on. I was picking up a pizza once and turned the lights on before as I was leaving and everyone inside had this look of awe. And then you have the whole selectable color with the internal LED lights. This car is the full package and the first time I really wanted to hold on to something for a while. The only thing I'm thinking about upgrading is the wheels. They are definitely very classy but they are not quite as sporty looking. In the review I did comparing to the sedan you can see the other set of wheels I have which are the 18 in. Now I have that itch to do the 20 in.
I love mine! I usually buy BMWs but this was good choice! I notice the BMWs have a more aggressive drive! But this thing has sport and sport plus! So it has the same performance in those Modes! And it does adapt to my driving! Lots of fun cooI features! I would recommend it! And no mine is not a least! There no more expensive than a Japanese cars! In my opinion!
in want to pick one up but I cant decide there's a 2018 and 2019 one 2019 has the new steering wheel, but double the miles and cost $10K more but I'm thinking i can get the 2018 and change the wheel lol
Hi Chris, Great review! I just bought this and Ive been trying to find a video on how to re-set the machine learning but cant find it - can you please share a link to a video that you found on how to do it ?
@@munton5150 because the car is mass produced its built for the lowest restriction for a certain country and just go with that for the whole fleet. So a stage 1 upgrade consists of taking off the ECU and remapping it making a higher torque and BHP.
@@munton5150 nice one chris... all depends what you want from the car really. I also had back box delete along with front splitter and side skirts and boot spoiler. The car looks gorgeous now. Happy driving!
It has been very reliable for me (2018). Zero problems with it yet as far as the engine or anything major like that. Just minor stuff like a little bit of noises inside of the car with the interior trim, and the trunk wouldn’t close properly at one point, but that got fixed under warranty.
That's a fair comment. It's actually funny you say that because I'm about to film a new video about how the car is holding up. I ran into a few minor things after I filmed the previous video.
DUDE! How come your dash is different than my dash? Is it because I have everything but the kitchen sink in mine? I am optioned out nothing else to add. I like your dials better than my animated dash.
The full digital dash looks so much better. The analogue dials are not well designed and look very cheap. I love an analogue dial generally but Mercedes should have done a better job.
It has been rock solid so far. I have not had a single issue with the car in terms of reliability. I am still under warranty but yeah nothing yet and at about 23,000 miles. I had a minor thing with the gas cover not closing at one point and they fixed that under warranty and then I had a minor issue with vibration sound ( only audible when you had no music playing) in the winter time on the instrument panel but they just fixed that under warranty as well with a piece of felt. It was kind of annoying but I only noticed it for the first time this winter when the temperature dropped. But yeah very minor stuff. Most people probably would not have even noticed that.
@@munton5150 very nice thank you. I’m looking at one with 3 owners , 55,000 miles No reported accidents but the car didn’t start when I went to go see it in the delearship
@@butterjones6347 that’s interesting. I’ve never had any kind of issue like that. I’m planning to keep it for at least another 18 months or so. I would ask them if it had been regularly serviced because with mine, I’ve run the recommended service without ever missing one and that’s pretty important to the longevity of these cars.
Not really. It feels very refined and controlled. But you can make it feel fast in sport +. It has more a controlled aggression feel to me overall. It feels very big and powerful. Like you are moving a lot of weight with a lot of power.
@@zb385 Yes it does. 0 to 60 in 5 seconds flat. I almost bought a CLS and when I tested that it felt much faster with acceleration. That one was the V8 on the CLS, so it was a much more powerful engine but it actually made me feel sick from the acceleration it was so fast. This one feels just right.
Beautiful car, so so much better than the gross newer models.
