Been driving my E400 coupé for 3 years now. Love it. Lease is up and I can’t part with it. It’s a keeper.
How can you talk about the e400 without mentioning the lack of a B pillar. Everything else was great but the lack of the B pillar is what sold it for me.
Love this 2018 E coupe....now looking for a used one !!!!
MrMustangrick used one??? it just came out. Buy new amigo
Hope you got your car man! I'm shopping for used ones in 2021 17k miles for about 40k not a bad deal!!
@@thiskid691995 I got the sedan I’m looking to trade in my for the coupe I found this same color but not 4matic for 31000 dollars with 25k miles I’m thinking if to get it
Yes, the car looks great. I also agree with MB's small/medium/large philosophy. The shock only suspension is fine, as I don't want to even know what it would cost to replace certain parts of the airbag suspension. Another also, the roads where I live in Central Texas are mostly flat, so no need for ultra flat roadholding. I just want a big, luxurious and fast coupe.
I came here because I saw one of these parked on my street, honestly they look amazing and the size looks perfect if you are a 6'+ (1.80m+)guy who feels the c300 coupe is too small
facts I saw one at stop and shop and had to look it up
man those interiors from mercedes....
Looks like Starbucks from the inside
Do you like it or dislike it?
I really love watching auto reviews from MotoManTV because their videos have the best angle (camera on the backseat right side) which I can clearly see the host operating the vehicle; some of the auto reviews have the worst angle ever because all I can see is the face of the host instead of watching him driving the car. Kudos to MotoManTV! Keep up the good work.
I think you nailed it: I want my standard Benz to be wafty and smooth. If I was sport, I’ll go AMG.
dchris91 Grow up bud.
dchris91 Oh ok man
@dchris
woa chill bro
Totally agreed with you, that the adaptive dampers should be standard.
This car design is just perfect. Two thumbs up. Love the rear lights better than the S550.
Spot on about the suspension!!!! I test drove one a month ago and loved the car, but the softer suspension held me back from buying it. I wanted something that I can dial in when I'm in the mood for a more performance oriented drive. I hear an AMG version of this car is coming!
I love your review of the E400 Coupe. Very informative....and entertaining. Great job!
What a beautiful piece of art , i would love own one oneday
Merry Christmas Motoman, staff and Kumho!
Kumo wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and is sorry he could not be in our special Christmas episode coming up on Monday due to an injury . . . He plans to return upon recovery in 2018 . . .
This car makes me want to break all the Dave Ramsey commandments and go into serious debt
Hold on a minute there, Tex . . . Two things: 1.) You KNOW I would send my minions after you and 2.) I have a car coming in February that makes ME want to break all the Dave Ramsey commandments . . . It will be blatantly obvious when you see it . . .
I could never go through with it and be able to sleep at night. Can't wait till February then!
@@MotoManTV what was the car
I guess the 43 AMG version (if they make it for the Coupe) would be the best of both worlds, even though it will probably be at the 90-100k range with options included.
I had thought that the adjustable dampers and the four wheel drive systems were physically incompatible - not that I'm any kind of expert!
I must own one. In that color!
I would love to see an AMG 63 version of this one.
im pretty sure it will come
No it wont also there wont be a cls63 amg either
There’s a new one coming up with an inline 6
I'm sure she will get blacked lol
There is no S65S only a S65 and the actual S65 model is currently not available as right-hand drive, only the S63. The new S63 also still uses the engine of the E63s as standart, but has no option to switch from AWD to RWD. I guess Mercedes thinks its unsuitable to drift a S-Class.
The rear airbags shouldn't be optional at this price point.
Rear airbags shouldn't be optional in any car at any price. The cost is next to nothing.
It will be only a matter of time before ncap (or one of the big scorers ) make it mandatory to get 5 stars, and all will finally give in and install them.
Great review as always!
Im stuck between this and BMW 5 series.Any opinions?
100% bmw
Happy Holidays. Keep the great vids coming!
Thanks for watching Kenny . . . We have our 2017 special Christmas episode coming up on Monday . . .
Kenny McClymont MERRY CHRISTMAS :)
Watch the autogeful review and that one has adjustable sport suspension with option on air or springs. I can only assume diff specs in Europe. Bring on the e50 coupe with 450hp
When you by a MB you get four tires and a steering wheel. The rest is extra.
i like the way Clarkson seperates head restraints from headrests. This one seems to have a head restraint- one more car in the driving department, not about feeling great in it.
$8x,xxx is redic. Love that green paint, but I love my green too much
@MotoManTV any word if Mercedes will make a E43 or E63 coupe anytime soon? With adjustable dampers and an AMG engine?
I have been looking at the E400 Coupe for a very long time. Now I'm almost ready to buy. But MotoMan! I think you are absolutely right. I thinkThat This 400Is a Cadillac El Dorado! And so I have to re-examine if I want it or not. And what I am worried about is that a test driveI would be nowhere near long enough to make a decision--on the size the comfort and or sportiness.
I remember the 1973 Cadillac Eldorado. Oh my God!I I would've given anything to have that. Seen it in some of the movies only made it more so. Now however, once in a blue moon I
now see someone driving one. And it looks absolutely stupid.~~
My next purchase will be the most expensive car that I've ever owned. And I will most likely have it for a very long time. I am not sure what direction I want to go. I still need tautness, and that German precision. Had a brand new BMW 328 in 1995. Incredible. Is is taut like that? Is it smooth like that?
right slot it’s a great car with a lean more towards comfort than sport. It’s a jack of all trades. For instance today it’s raining here in Texas. My previous 911 I would’ve dreaded the ride home.
With this car it’s enjoyable.
A week ago it was perfect weather and I put down the windows and opened up pano sun roof. Enjoyed the spirited ride immensely.
This car is for mature grown people 39+
If you’re a street racer with Msports dreams def don’t get this car. An m4 will cost you less and deliver that german taut precision. This car is more along the lines of a six series coupe.
Big yah for the bmw. My neighbors wonder why my bmw is never in the shop or having engine problems. I just laugh.
Hi MM for this does this car have the latest COMMAND nav with the ‘big’ icons and if so has the Apple CarPlay integration improved ? Ie can you use CarPlay audio and Merc Nav Maps at same time ? Thanks
There is no nice way to say this: The Apple CarPlay integration in this car is abysmal. It is the similar to the one I talked about in this episode ( ruclips.net/video/sTd29TiRy9U/видео.html) only with a different screen. Here is another take on the Mercedes Apple CarPlay integration (ruclips.net/video/rsBkxv-HW9k/видео.html). Probably the worst integration I have seen which surprises me coming from Mercedes. Other than this fault, the car is beautifully engineered.
MotoManTV oh thats a real shame if you watch here from about 3:04 ruclips.net/video/405b91QSbP8/видео.html at about 3:33 he returns to the Merc menu and it shows the Nav icon and CarPlay in the bar at the same time. Does the E400 screen look like this ? Thanks
In my 2017 E300 I use Merc navigation and amazon music on carplay all the time.
Nav will drive you in circles and the dealer says “sorry, no fix”
MotoMan, please sir we need new videos like the Hyundai Curb design process!!
Let's just say you will like Season 9 . . . You can see a glimpse here: ruclips.net/video/uk6bvMhjuOA/видео.htmlm38s
OH WOW!! hahaha!! Thank you, sir! can't wait for some design studio footage!
You asked, I like it, as it stands. But for another 2K, I would like the adjustable dampers suspension option. It’s a gorgeous car, and 2, 3 or even 4 years from now, with low miles and some depreciation, it will stack up as a compelling choice, even against modestly priced (30-50K) new cars. They stand the test of time.
And I agree, the 6 is perfect, perhaps with or without AMG “43” trim. Not a fan of the 4-cylinder in that size car. Paired with the 9 speed, ummh!!
Uau that C class looks good!
looks great!
Perfect exterior / interior colour combination. ( for me.) Difficult choice between this model and the S500 coupe. Some say rear space in the E400 is more useable than in the S500. Can this be true? Merry Christmas everyone! :-))
TheMister Mann rip the cheap arse looking dial LCD display. And im with you. I like digital displays , just not the way merc is doing it.
Its a real deal breaker .
Grandma jeans just needs a Lamborghini
The thing about this car is: There is the C-class coupe available as 63 with the 4.0 liter V8 and then there is the S560/63 which they just updated so if there would be a 63 version of this car they would probably kill either the C class coupe or the S class coupe because there is not enough difference between the 3.
I mean what would you say if a customer would ask you what the difference between the E class coupe and the s class coupe is ?
The hood seems to high off the ground in proportion to wheelsize. Too much metal above the wheels.
I love it
this car is for the most important client mb has... the ladies who do lunch... its got more style than her red bottom shoes and she would rather arrive stirred not shaken. this car is for Mrs Doctor Huganflugan, that's also why it cost almost 90k because that what she would expect to pay. the profit margin on this car must be in the stratosphere.
Shannon Stjulien
😆.
Have you ever purchased a MB?
Their SUV’s are very nice and more practical for women who shop.
I own a nicely loaded GLC 4 Matic, and would never go back to a car.
Yes, it’s more bread and butter for MB, but nothing to knock. They are very luxurious inside if you get them well equipped.
Indeed I have. My dream car is a Mercedes S Class sedan with a V12 engine. And to be fair I wrote ladies who lunch not ladies who shop:) when I wrote that I meant nothing negative I was only trying to identify the target client for this car with this spec.
Dr. Huganflugan? I thought I was reading one of Rose's St. Olaf stories from the Golden Girls for a second.
Nickolai What a load of bs. Look at the new JD power study, Mercedes is in top 5 most reliable brands.Why do you think that the majority of taxis in Germany are Mercs?As a taxi car, you need it to be reliable and not lose time and money in service shops

dcr33313 lol very quick, but , if i may point out she is also a lady who lunches. lol
That’s a 21st century German version of my daddy’s Buick Wildcat.
Good point.
Love the design but don’t like the Russian doll idea. Suits the E and the S but the C Coupé doesn’t look quite right to my eyes. An E class should come with a 6 cylinder minimum too with a V8 option. And yes at its price point who would care if it were slightly more but came with adaptive air suspension
Hmm..how many models did the merc released in a year??
But if this is supposed to be Germany's Eldorado, why don't they offer the sound deadening option like they do for the E300?
I wonder how reliable it is. For that kind of money not much more should be added for options.
You are right about costs, no different than people with bad credit pay higher interest rates that is hard to afford repayments, vs people with good credit that can afford a higher interest rates. It's really about laughing in peoples face to say "I'm better than you".
Motoman.... CHRONIA POLLA....! KALA CHRISTOUGENNA.... all the best...! from Crete!
Καλά Χριστούγεννα, αδερφή μου
Thank you! (I see that you are keeping up with your Greek!) We enjoy your personal attitude and presence in all tour videos... Keep up the good work!
i watch videos of people driving 10+ year old mercedes that were really expensive at the time and the one thing that everyone warns about with those cars is the adjustable suspension. maybe that's why they offer the conventional dampers. a re sale thing ? i dn just a thought.
It is perplexing why MB doesn't offer adjustable dampers. Why offer optional AMG wheels and an AMG "line" option without making adjustable dampers available? None the less it is a nice car.
I really love your Phrases 😊bist du fertig für Weihnachten? Ich auch 🎁😉frohe Weihnachten aus Deutschland
Fantastic interior and front but spoilt by the rear
I believe Mercedes makes air suspension optional so as to not step on S-Class Coupe sales.
To add; they want the customer who is going to make this car fully loaded switch to the S.
Love the coupes - always liked the coupe design from MB. But I don't like the IP. The video game atmosphere takes away (IMO) part of the satisfaction of the pleasure of driving.
are the rear windows powered?
*POWER!*
Gohan yes they are
I just can't get past the should digital 'dial' set up that merc is doing.
A little body roll isn't a bad thing.
i want an e63s of the coupe sigh
thumbs down. why did you think this was an AMG? Makes no sense.
I’m not liking the nickel and dimeing from the German cars. They actually wanted $300 for Apple play on my 7 series. And extra for M rims on top of the M package just like the AMG rims above the AMG package.
I love MB but they all look to similar now. There’s no real distinction between classes anymore.
Maddog8148 yeah they’ve definitely adopted a theme. I thought the same before seeing them in person. They’re more distinct than videos/pics let on.
Correct...and I’m waiting for MB to try and get that front end logo even bigger 🤪
@@Lions_Gate buy a Honda. It will run forever. MB you will have to bring your checkbook after every service.
I would definitely lower it an inch if I didn’t have the damping option
Sadly this car still has two 3cylinder engines under the hood, not the new m256.
Came here to see some insight into the technology of the car, and instead we get a rant about how fast power should be delivered while taking corners 3 times the speed that anyone buying a Mercedes or BMW or Audi or something similar would be going. And all that time wasting making videos lasting 15+ mins - you can cut a third of that time by just focusing on the essentials, and not blabbing like a housewife.
BINGO...BINGO...BINGO
gotta love depreciation, can pick one of these up for 25k to 35k 5 years later.
Yep 35 for mines
@@kinglock925E400 or E300? Which is better?
@@prizeokoli8855 the E400 coupe has more power I love my coupe more then I loved my E300 it was a 4 cylinder but E400 no b pillar it’s a nice car
@@kinglock925thanks for the response. I'm thinking between E400 2017 and E43 AMG 2018. What you think?
Similar to the q60 coupe in the back
Yesssssss....unless one misses the 10 foot diameter logo
E43 Coupe and E63.
When base price means absolutely nothing!
You are spot on...so...Who asks the MB dealer “where are your base priced MBs”?
Love the colour. Same colour as mine.it's a twat to keep clean. And only looks good when clean.
Love it, but wouldn't choose it again .
Which colour would you prefer, white?
@@flesz_ actually as crap as white is (on most cars, pre pearl), its easier to keep clean than deep dark matalics.
My last car was emerald green, really dark but green in the sun light, looked great, twat to keep clean. My late at car is Bohemian purple. I said I'd not get a deep colour again after the green one, but I did.
Given my job and where it lives I should of got a 'normal' colour.
drive a cadillac or a oldsmobile...I would say if you car.
that's a 2 ton of metal. the amount of sport available is fractional
On the spec sheet it has no charge option
"677 lowered suspension with selective damping"!
I don't understand what the confusion here is... The dynamic select toggle is clearly visible on the right side of the center console. Maybe he means the air suspension is not included in base price..? Very confusing presentation on this matter that is considered as cardinal in this video yet a common knowledge among anyone who has sat in a newish MB.
bturbo tween turbo v6 mistake inaf power for $90,000
I am not fan of white or light colored interiors (except on a retromod classic Chevelle in Laguna Blue with white racing stripes). However this green is Excalibur worthy,and it rolls over the Mercedes frame like the hills of Dover.
Excalibur as in the movie with Sean Connery or as in Sammy Davis' poor choice in cars?
Gramble
Just throwing it out there. e63s shooting brake
To me Mercedes has lost the plot. V8 AMG SUV's but a mid size coupe with no V8 option at all. For me I'll manage Mercedes expectations by saying no thanks. Give me an E550 Coupe and I'll be back but at the moment they've abandoned the sweet spot between the awesome but hard core c63 and the too big and soft S500.
dafuq, they all have the same interiors....
Always the same song with you american reviewers. This is not a sports car but for travel in style and comfort (and reasonable mpg as well). Even the 2L 4 cylinder is good enough for that but only seem to count horse power like a noob camera buyer counting mega pixels. Absolutely laughable. Besides what happend to land of the free ? Look at he back of car. Ruined. And the yellow plastics we have on our children’s bicycle and thankfully not on our cars.
Jesus loves you.
omg....Bible thumper trolling MB vids? Definitely needs a life. The Bible might help you if you actually read it but no MBs when it was written
Waaaayyyyy over priced 🧐👎🏽👎🏽
When the 4 door looks better than the 2 door
Alumnikiid said no one ever
Mercedes is for old people
Caddy too
your nose is too big
OH MY GOD!!!! I had NO idea . . . how could I have lived this long with such an atrocity!?!?!?!? THANK YOU for your astute observation . . . .
It’s for the sunglasses but he has none?
exterior looks bland
Design? No, as a Mercedes owner I do not like this car. Especially the front. Who needs all these (fake) air intakes in the front skirt (looks like Darth Vader's helmet)? And it has not the Mercedes grill anymore, no standing star on top... It could be anything but a Mercedes.
Michael Myers coupes or AMG models don’t get the standing star. Seems a Merc owner would know that.
But it has a 10 foot diameter logo on the grille....just so you don’t confuse it with a Kia
Neighbor just got one. Wife walked out and wanted to know why he bought a Toyota until she saw the monstrous logo on front end.
A poor man's S Coupe. Way over priced for what it is!
