I have the 2015 E400 coupe and I love it. I had the C350 Coupe before and when the lease was up I tried the BMW435 and I was pretty convinced to get it until I drove this. There was no way to compare the luxury feeling inside. It really depends what you want from your car. There is no point to compare BMW or AUDI with MB. They excel in different areas and it's a question of taste and expectations. Personally I look for a smooth ride and a luxurious interior. I got this one in steel grey with red leather interior and so far I give it an A+

You can turn it off fyi

Here's a hint for you guys as to why you frequently get very similar 0-60 times in a car's various "modes": On many if not most cars, the throttle and shift mapping temporarily default to the most aggressive mode when the throttle is mashed, the logic being that the driver intends to summon all of the car's power whenever he floors it no matter what "mode" it's in.

Yes- ALL cars, as far as I know, do that! It's strange that the guy making a video about cars on the internet is so clueless isn't it?

my 1986 Mercedes Benz 560SEC (W126) has the same seat belt extenders. Not a new design but timless. Nice car, this E coupe. Will get one soon.

The tightening seat belt feels great!

That is one beautiful car. Great day to be showing it too, with the giant softbox in the sky! Really showed off the lines.

This test is pointless.. Mercedes have the little buttons under the throttle pedal that when you go wide open its pressed and puts the car into sport mode...

The engine reacts the same at 80% throttle or more. No EGR, no fuel map control. That's why it's the same time.

So sport and Eco net the same 0-60, NICE!

In Eco mode the Benz starts in second gear and upshifts at lower rpm than in Sport mode. Throttle response and shifts are "sharper" in Sport. Roman is correct that when you floorboard the throttle the car defaults to Sport mode but will revert to Eco mode if that was selected.

Thanks Roman! I shall be @FletcherJones MB this Thursday.

Roman should have pointed out that in Sport mode the transmission starts in 1st gear, in Eco it's second.

Sport mode usually makes no difference if you torque and floor in a straight line, you're maximizing the output anyway

People don't buy Mercedes for the 0-60 time. The essence of Merc is quite different from BMW and Audi, which people keep comparing them to. Once you drive some Mercs, it's pretty clear what they're going for.

maybe not specifically for the 0-60, but with an msrp of 50k+, an engine putting out 302hp, and the car being a coupe (and this awd), there is no reason this car should be slower than it's 3.5L v6 competitors. A camry V6 shouldn't blow the doors off this things

How much less is the consumption from sport to eco on both city and highway driving?

Deciding between a BMW 535 or this E class coupe. Which one would be a better buy??

What song is at at 1:12? Please when will you guys be reviewing the 14 highlander and 4runner?

hey guys, im on the hunt to buy a S60R. Just triying to wait for the right 6 speed manual to get. Id let you guys use my car for a used car review if you want i think that would be a cool episode

What about when driving around bends? i have a 2012 220 and its always in eco mode because its default, better mileage and ive never noticed any real difference when its in sport but the other day i wanted to see what it was like around a few turns/roundabouts where i live and it almost felt as if the suspension had changed or some other settings on the car had changed. MB salesman told me sport mode only holds revs longer but the cars balance and steering really felt better. Usually on a roundabout or sharp turn, i need to hold the wheel with quite a bit of force otherwise it tries to understeer slightly at higher speed but when it was in sport mode on the same roundabout, went round so nicely and exited fast off as well

@louisl1616

Steering on e class gets sharper 2015 or on it lowers

from my experience in the E39 5 series the difference in shift modes tend to be more noticeable in normal driving, the sport mode results in the car tending to drive in at least one gear lower (compared to 'normal' mode) and hence faster to accelerate and overtake when you are already driving at a particular speed.

Have you ever going to neutral for revving

Why dont you ever use the paddle shifters? Please answer that in one of your videos

Can someone tell me what he is using to measure 0 -60 with?

- "Say 'Hi' Nathan! - "Hi Nathan!" lol

how did you launch the car?

it's a shame I've seen this so late. the Mercedes has an option called Advanced Agility control; there you have a Sport button near the hazard. really a shame dealers fail to know and correctly advertise what they are selling. you should do the side-by-side advance agility vs agility control. the advance agility is roughly a 1 sec quicker to 0-60mph.

I’m thinking about picking up a 2014 E350. The W209 and then this generation are some of my favorite Mercedes coupe’s, the front end that debuted in 2014 is better looking than the newer Mercedes models in my opinion, even in the crazy car market right now for 20k can get a really nice example loaded with DisTronic plus under 80,000 miles, known to be one of the most reliable modern Mercedes with a 3.5 cylinder, I’m sure the E400 It’s a blast but it’s not nearly as reliable as the tried and true V6

Did you turn off the eco button that’s in the same heated seats button row ?. There is technically two eco buttons.

Test done at high elevation, over a second slower than most other videos you see. They also perform quite a bit better in manual mode which he didn't even mention or try.

If you prefer performance in corners and traction overall always choose a quattro. If you prefer comfort in a fast car driving on long trips choose the Benz.

At 64k it does not compete with the A5. S5 possibly based on price alone but they are different beasts. S5 vs this car would be a great mashup.

There's eco, sport, and Manuel control in my 2014 E350. Manual is faster unless I'm just biased?

dude if u gonna make a program about 0-60, u better use e550 or an amg..

On a rolling race things would be a lot different, on the sports mode the gearbox and the throttle will respond faster.

I like the front but not keen on the rear 1/4 and hip line. I prefer the saloon.

You can easily turn the tightening seatbelt feature off permanently simply using your steering wheel controls. I have a '14 E350 sedan.

Isnt the point of the clk to be an e coupe??

I don't think 65k is a lot for this Mercedes. It's not like this is the entry level model, this is an E-class

theyve had the belt tightening feature for 2 years already

Nice car

That would be the perfect bracket racer then. Wouldn't it?

I luv this car. I want it with the big V-6 clean diesel. IMO MB has the BEST crash technology and is the safest car in an accident of ANY car. I think with the diesel you could count on your grand children driving it to college.

E350 ? Doesn't the USA get the E400 twin turbo V6 ?

I had the c250 (2010 model) i know have a audi s3 i miss the comfort and drive of the mercedes. Speed dosent mean better people buy cars for what they want and need them for

Audi didn't jump on the bandwagon, the created a whole new wagon when it comes to headlight design! Everyone else has jump on their wagon lol!

A6 still has the best headlights...Audi are the kings of LED design Regardless what a great car this MB is

Haha still has the front wheels a bit tilted for a better turning radius. They've had that for ages. :)

The seatbelt thing is a nice idea but I can see that going bad if it malfunctions. It could just keep tightening up and hurt the driver or that thing that hands you the seat belt can break. Too many unnecessary moving parts is bound to break after awhile.

The idea of worrying about something breaking on a new, expensive car is pretty pointless. If you can afford one new the chances are you're not going to run it past warranty so it doesn't matter to you. If you're buying second hand it's just another system like the other hundreds that are in a modern car. By that logic you could say electric windows are just something to go wrong. Or opening and closing doors. Pretty soon we're back at a horse and cart.

I own a 2011 Audi a5 cabriolet and I think for the amount of money you can save by getting the Audi its a much better choice... mine was just over $53,000... and the seatbelt is also handed to you like the Benz but it doesn't tighten like that.

Turn off DSC and put in N for revving to redline. Modern cars (AT and MT) max rev to their best rpm for launching. Don't bitch about it, it makes you faster while reducing wear and consumption.

thats annoying that the times are the same in eco and sport!! i wish sport was faster

E350 cupe👌

Did ya do a 0-60 test??? Oh, wait. That's all ya ever do. DULL!!!

I like the interior...but it does look similar to a BMW.

The Eco and Sport mode don't do a bloody difference to your 0-60 time if you're flooring the accelerator. All it does is change the behaviour of the car so it upshifts earlier and makes the throttle slightly less responsive in an effort to conserve fuel in normal driving conditions. Either way if you're flooring it and trying to get the best performance, the car isn't stupid. Actually one of the more ridiculous reviews I've seen.

3:50 Really ? of course LOOL ! It doesnt matter if you are in Eco or Sport mode WHEN you are giving full power. And it was like that before aswell. Its nothing new. If you are giving half throttle than you will see a difference but when you are giving full throttle it doesnt matter, it will not shift early in Eco Mode. This would be very dangerous on the street, for example a truck is coming from the side and you have to get away from there fast, it woulf be quite funny and dangerous if the car would be slower in Eco mode when you are giving full power... makes sense right !!!?

Can't wait till those things break, German cars are notorious with electrical problems

where the hell is emme hallas?

please, head to head with bmw 4 series.

It sounds a bit underpowered on paper but the 7 speed auto makes up for it in terms of power distribution. BUT, I would take the Hyundai Genesis Coupe with the 3.8 for less than half the price and I bet the Hyundai would win in a drag race.
