Zippy car for a 4 cylinder

Semi self driving features are amazing. Not a fan of no spare tire and run flat tires. sold it due to no spare and run flat tires, I travel a lot in sparsely populated areas of the country and having a flat would potentially strand me for 3+ days waiting for a new tire after a long tow.

Emerald Green Metallic German Engineering Machine!

This is my 4th Mercedes. This is the first time for the E-Class. My previous Mercedes were an SLK 250, a Sprinter, and a C 300. My very first Mercedes should have been the E class! The 2018 E 400 cabriolet is absolutely hands down the most amazing vehicle that I have ever owned! In the past I have owned a Jaguar, BMW, Cadillac, Acura, Lexus, and a Maserati. There is no comparison to the 2018 E400 Cabriolet! I ordered this car in October of 2017. This was the first time that I ordered a car, but I am glad that I did. I was able to customize it to just the way I wanted it. From the emerald green metallic exterior paint, the dark brown soft top, the Macchiato Beige/Espresso Brown Nappa Leather seats, to the light brown sen wood trim with the black piano lacquer console, and the Magic Vision and the premium interior lighting are both amazing. The back seat is very roomy and comfortable. With the top open, the noise is at a very minimum. A conversation can be carried on with all passengers. Don't forget the air scarves, a must for cool weather top open cruising! Do not hesitate on a 2018 E 400!

One of Three Edition 1 Wagons

2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class AMG E 63 S 4MATIC 4dr Wagon AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 9A)

I have read that some of the early AMG E63s cars did have some teething problems. But like the thousands of airline flights daily one only hears about the one that crash landed or, unfortunately, worse. Likewise, the likelihood is that 99% of the E63s owners/lessees have experienced no or very minor issues with their cars. I purchased my Edition 1 wagon in May of 2018. The build date is 04/18 and, as the title says, is one of only three Ed 1 wagons in the U.S. So far I've had zero issues and though this is a heavy car it drives much smaller. The wagon has super acceleration, much faster than my previous 2013 C63 with 481 hp and the transmission shifts are just as fast as the best DCTs out there. On the practical side, well this is a wagon so lots of room and the back seats have plenty of leg room. I feel that the ride is just fine especially in Comfort mode. Remember, this is a machine geared more to the sports side so the suspension is a bit taught but, in my view, not overly so. The interior is really nice and the dual screen dash is fun to play with and has many options and is quite intuitive. Test drive one! You won't be disappointed. This is an update: Car is still going strong with no issues to date. It seems to be getting more powerful with more miles and still a great ride. I've no regrets for purchasing this AMG E63s wagon and my wife really likes it too.

Less than expected and ultimately not engaging

I gave this “rocket” a year to settle in and grow on me however it never quite did. No longer in my Scuderia. While the engine and drive train are knarly and incredibly powerful, the Benz saloon chassis and other engineering get left in the dust, a tail of two cars in one, regrettably. Sometime things don’t go together and this is the case with a car like the E63S AMG. Perhaps my bad for assuming a Benz saloon can be a true sports car. Car was fast and loud, feel was numb to non existent. Fairly monolithic.

The champ of soft tops

I waited for the E class cabriolet to return to production after driving a loaner 2017 sedan. The cabin is superb; Loaded with intuitive technology and safety features. I opted for the designo interior and P3 package. The top goes down every chance I get. Thanks MB.
