I picked up this brand new left over (2017) E550. It has the $10,400 package and it's black on black with sport seats, AMG appointments, etc. Dealer gave me $20,000 off being a leftover. Full warranty. My mechanic said to me how much? But the car! This car is fast, aggressive yet subtle. Handles great and is quiet and smooth. If you put it in sport it's just ridiculous. I've had it for 2 weeks and LOVE this car. Coming from a 2011 E350, which I loved...this is just pure fun. Hard to beat a twin turbo 4.7 V8!

Due to the vagaries of car leases, I had a 2012 Audi A7 and a 2014 MB E350 Sedan before purchasing this 2016 E400 Coupe. The coupe is more my style and I rarely need to put people in the rear seat. While it's smaller than the E Sedan, it's still a midsize car. The differences between the 2014 and 2016 model years are mostly subtle, except for the engine, but significant. First, the E400's bi-turbo V6 is excellent with no acceleration lag and excellent torque at any speed. One of my biggest dislikes about the E350 was the low end accelerator lag. That is gone and acceleration is strong from the start with no hesitation. This engine sounds great, too. Gas mileage is very good for this type of car. I took a cross-country trip and got 29 mpg on the mostly highway drive. The car feels more solid and quieter than the 2014, but that's hard to quantify. The seats feel more comfortable, and they are great for a multi-hour drive. M-B made some changes to the buttons and controls on the console that made good sense. The entertainment system/navigation system is a little quicker to control than before. The quality of the directions is just okay. It sometimes wants me to route me in stupid ways that would add time to my trip. Driving through Phoenix, it wanted me to get on and off on every exit. But, usually it gets me where I want to go. The interior is very attractive. I was disappointed that the coupe loses the door lighting found in the sedan. It makes the cockpit a friendlier place at night. My interior, red Napa in a black cockpit with a black headliner is stunning. I've heard it said that the cockpit is a little old school in looks. Maybe so, but it still looks great. Very good materials and the placement of buttons and other controls is very good. The exterior looks excellent. I personally feel it is a great-looking car and I have no complaints in that department. For 2016, M-B added rotating headlights and retracting mirrors, both very good features. I like the safety features, too. The side view alert works well, as does the backup camera. The Nav display, by the way, is high def compared to the display in the 2014. The only feature I don't like is the way the panoramic roof was implemented. The glass may absorb UV and block heat, but the retractable net is not sufficiently opaque. It's the same netting material M-B uses for the rear sunshade. It's okay for that application, but overhead, it allows in too much sun. I've resorted to wearing a baseball cap in the car once or twice when it bothered me. I would rather that M-B included the 360 degree camera (in the Premium 3) package instead of the panoramic roof. They say the rear seat passengers enjoy it, but when you buy a coupe, you don't expect a lot of people sitting in the rear seat. If you did, you would buy a sedan. It's a fun car to drive. While not a sports car, the handling and the car are both solid and sitting in that cockpit is a fun place to be.

I bought this used, certified coupe 16 months ago and am quite pleased with it's looks, ride and handling. Presently, it has 39,000 miles on it. There has been only one minor adjustment required and it was covered under the warranty. It has the sport suspension and rides a bit stiff. If I was buying a new one, I would not get the sport suspension, but this is not a reason to pass it up.

ride, fit, finish, is great!!! Cost of general mantenance is high, but a necessary evil . Dealership reps. sales, ect are very personable and answer all questions Front end sets low as a result you must watch out for the tire bump stop in parking lots, not to drive over them I did and it grabbed the lower spoiler tore it up, bent left fender bolth needed to be replaced. So now I turn on the camera before I drive up to the stops

I've been driving my E400 for several months. If the regular maintenance is taken care of this car has absolutely no issues. I've noticed several of the reviews for the 2016 E-Class docking the safety of the vehicle, which I would quickly like to say is not true or fair in any way. I recently got into a head on collision where a Chevy Silverado decided to jump the median. The cabin stayed in tact, the front end... not so much. I was going around 40mph, and I walked away from the incident. From the inside of the vehicle you can't tell there was an accident apart from the airbags having been deployed. If you are looking for a safe vehicle, MB has always been an option, and the E-Class has always been my go-to. The only place I would take points off of this vehicle is the price, as maintenance is obviously expensive. If you purchase this vehicle and are not prepared to pay several hundred, if not thousands, in service fees, you probably shouldn't be buying a Mercedes. As for the ride, it's a little bumpy, but definitely and improvement from my 2014 E350. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be satisfied with the acceleration of this vehicle, as it really has some jump, even in economy mode. I think the interior is very comfortable, even with a tight set of back seats. The back seats fold down to allow for extra storage space, so I've never really had a problem hauling around bags and groceries; when the back seats are folded there's enough space to lay down in the back... I would not purchase this vehicle anywhere other than a Mercedes dealership, or without a maintenance package. My local dealership has been extremely helpful. Never had the car break down, but it has had an issue with the cooling system and the air conditioning, which was fixed at no cost within a week. Even with a coolant issue, the car was still driving, displaying a warning of reduced power. The display system in the interior is not easy to figure out on your own, so I recommend having the sales rep show you everything there is to know about the car or finding an in depth youtube video and taking the time to learn the car inside and out. Overall I think Mercedes has done an excellent job with this model, and I will be continuing my loyalty to the mercedes line.
