@@GCCarsCAas someone who bought the car, and it’s amazing the matte definitely shows off the lines like crazy (hints why it’s amg flagship color for this car)
This comment slipped through, oops sorry for the late reply! Thank you first off all, and yes, Mercedes decided to put the plate on the side on this specific CLE - which I quite like!
Yep! While the difference is more significant on the inside due to the "higher quality" pumped in noises, the CLE does also have a nicer real exhaust note.
Das Auto sieht in Real viel besser aus als auf den Fotos oder Videos. Ich durfte für ein Wochenende den CLE 53 testen. Optisch, genau meine Vorstellung. Wobei mir der "normale" CLE nicht gefällt. Das Touch Lenkrad empfinde ich als Rückschritt und auch die Software bräuchte ein Update da sie mich bei der Probefahrt im Stick ließ. Der Wendekreis ist trotz Hinterradlenkung leider groß. Aber das Auto macht Spaß und fällt positiv auf
Totally agree, the AMG CLE looks much better than the regular CLE and is stunning in person. As for the steering wheel, I do like the touch-based volume slider, but all the other controls would be better of as physical buttons... the carbon + suede mix and drive mode switches more than make up for that for me though! It's just a wonderful car and I'm glad you got to enjoy it for a weekend! -E
Appreciate the kind words! We decided to compare it to the M440i because a) pricing-wise it's a little closer to it than the M4 and b) we haven't driven the M4 yet... But once we do we'll definitely reference this review again!
Pricing-wise it's closer to the M440i than the M4, but you could make an argument for either. Although I'd say a hypothetical CLE63 would be the real M4 competitor.
After watching both our M440i and CLE53 review, are you team M or team AMG?
Team AMG for sure... Luxury and sportiness
Team Dark Horse!
AMG all the way
Bought a CLE53 80 days ago. Happy that I did. Really nice car.
Mercedes for sure
It sounds even better on the outside. It looks special
underrated channel the cinematography is amazing and so are the presenters
Much appreciated! We got some cool stuff in the pipeline :)
Sounds amazing! Better in real life-Just got the CLE 53 A4 cabriolet in Patagonia red 🎉
Merc 6 cylinder goes back to the 40's racing cars like the 300SL
And we're glad they haven't abandoned them yet!
Which one looks better... Matte or black metallic??? Im between these two colours... With silver-black wheels!!!
Both would look fantastic, but I think the curves of the CLE would show better with the metallic paint 🙌

Great review of a great car.
Front plate goes on the side ?

Wow...is Jesse a model?
Does the exhaust from outside sound better than the m440i?
Yep! While the difference is more significant on the inside due to the "higher quality" pumped in noises, the CLE does also have a nicer real exhaust note.
Way nicer notes on the outside than the M440i

As a bmw guy, I must say I really enjoyed this car 😫
Definitely a contender for this year's GCCars Enthusiast Car of the Year Award. That being said, there are a lot of potential winners this year 👀
great and fun video, thanks guys - but you cant compare a 53 amg with just an "m-sportsline" bmw. you shoud have compared a cle450 with a m440i

You should be comparing it with m4 not 440i
They're both pretty close on pricing and the M4 would line-up better with a potential CLE63.
The power on the m4 compares only to the top dog the 63 not a 53
Oha der GermanCommentGamer ist aber alt geworden
Tell me about it 🫠😂 - E
AMG is Terminator🤔
it was dead?
When they decided to put a 4 banger into the C63, AMG briefly died.
Not worth 88grand 😂
This car competes with Bmw M4 not M440i.
Pricing-wise it's closer to the M440i than the M4, but you could make an argument for either. Although I'd say a hypothetical CLE63 would be the real M4 competitor.
@@GCCarsCAcorrect. Cle53 is not even as fast as M4. M4 would eat it. Just Wait for the Cle63 🤗
