Bought my 19 E450 coupe 6 months ago, currently running at approx. 6800 miles in total. I have owned many models including 11 E60 M5, 13 A7, 14 550i and 16 RR sport. So far I am happy with the car. I would say this car’s overall interior quality def is better than BMW’s and Audi’s, and a little bit below RR sport. I feel the interior of the backseat rows could’ve been better by simply match what we have in the front row. In terms of sportiness, when the Sport+ mode is on, this car is absolutely a beast although number-wise (hp and torque) it’s way smaller than the 11 E60 M5 and the 14 550i that I owned in the past. The sport+ mode is a little bit frightening in a sense that sometimes I literally have a feeling that I cannot handle the power (maybe bc I’m way older now). An extra bonus is that, this car actually is the only car I have owned with a mpg matching the EPA estimates. So far I’m sitting at 23 mpg overall (6800 miles). So if you commute a lot on a daily basis, this car will cost you a lot less in gas while it is also capable of delivering excitement in driving. 3 options I highly recommend to get: driver’s assist pkg, bremester audio and head-up display. Firstly, I gained hand-on test experience with the “driving assist pkg” of MB, BMW and Audi (all post 2019 models), when I was shopping for a car. MB’s driving assist pkg is the only one that actually gives the autonomous driving experience, for a long distance commuter like me, it really helps after exhausting workdays. Secondly, Bremester Audio system is the best audio system I have experienced so far (excluding my rich cousin’s Aston Martin audio). It really adds on some luxury experience. Thirdly, HUD is something I did not notice how convenient until I have it. I rarely look down and check out my cluster and I seriously had trouble reading it when I switched car with my partner for a week. Lastly, DO NOT WASTE your money on park assist pkg... I actually actively looked for it, but so far I probably have not used it for more than 5 times. Lastly, the car has been very reliable, not a single glitch at all... although we all expect that from a brand new car. But sometimes it’s not granted, my partner bought a brand new 19 Q8 around the same time. As a matter of fact, she gets all these false alarms in tires and air suspension. I really would not regret that I did not buy an A7 when I was shopping.
Luxury sedan, but could be better.

Pluses: Beautiful design, interior and exterior. Can be driven fast, slow, in comfort mode or in sport mode, and handles very well. Very quiet and comfortable ride. Minuses: The navigation system is a little clunky to use and the traffic heat map colors are difficult to see (highlight color streaks are not very wide and also pale), although the screen quality is excellent with great resolution. I was a little disappointed in the lack of leg room in the back when the front seats are pushed back. I am 6'3" or 193 cm tall and there is not much room left in the back when I push back. My wife just bought a new Subaru Ascent SUV and there is a lot of space in the second row. Obviously they are different vehicles, but a luxury sedan like the E300 should have more space in my book. Concerning repairs and service, my brand new car died the 3rd day I had it - it had a major electronic freak out and had to be towed. According to the dealer the on/off switch for the car (a so-called gateway switch) was faulty and after a few days of inquiry they told me that the part was not available stateside with delivery time unknown? Independent from the dealer, I was asked to fill outa survey by Mercedes USA and unloaded a little in the comment section that this lack of supply chain I would expect from Hyundai or Ford, but Mercedes - really. Got a call 1/2 day later and suddenly the part was located and traded with another dealer, funny how that goes. In the end, it took 2 weeks to get the car back on the road. Finally, the car has developed a persistent creaking and rattle in the front. The seat adjustment switches in the door rattle incessantly and the creak started 3 months after purchase. Am not very happy about that I must say, especially as the Subaru is quiet as can be. Update on the rattles - it's been in the shop 4 times now to ID and repair the rattle, but not much luck. The tech actually told me that the loudspeakers tend to have a rattle problem all the time - metal on wood with no rubber gasket in between - HELLO? If it continues, I may get rid of the car and try the Genesis. Who wants to sit in a 'luxury' car and listen to rattling. Final Update: The driver seat also squeaks, but I just don't move around too much, so it's manageable. The driver side mirrors needed to be replaced twice after they suddenly started creaking with opening/closing. Finally, the main starter button now generally works on the first try, but again randomly graces me, its owner, with starting the car only after the third try - go figure? Otherwise, the car drives really well, has great acceleration, is comfortable, although partial leather seats would be nice, given the price of the car. It is exceedingly quiet inside, has an exquisite sound system, and has decent space in the back. I get about 29-34 mpg during a 45 min highway commute. Overall, it's a decent car, but in my book a little too expensive, given its quirky reliability.

My 2019 E450 wagon is without question the best car I've ever owned--taking into account S550 MB, E500 MB, Porsche 911, BMW 540I, an E350 MB wagon, and several others. The car is aesthetically beautiful, is extremely fun to drive with tight sporty handling and a great 3 liter twin turbo engine and 9 speed transmission that winds up and delivers lots of power whenever you want it--all with a great engine sound, and with really great fit and finish and build quality- the interior is very attractive and sporty with beautiful leather and wood and not a piece of that hard plastic material that ends up rattling especially on cold days anywhere. The interior is also very comfortable, very well designed with amazing safety and entertainment technology as well as ambient lighting. This is all not to mention the astounding practicality--- 7 passengers and a huge payload capacity. This car is perfect for loading up with mountain bikes or mulch and is also an elegant way to drive to a formal affair. Perfect.

It is hard to beat this car. It is total luxury, plus it is a lot of fun to drive. I was not considering a Mercedes, but on a fluke, I stopped and drove one. Within a week I purchased one. The interior is amazing - technology combined with pure beauty. The engine is a beast! It is the best of both worlds, beauty and beast!

2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class AMG E 63 S 4dr Sedan AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 9A)

Car and Driver gave this car a rare rating of 10 out of 10. I'm just a regular guy who raised his eyebrow at that expert opinion but was persuaded to go for a test drive and immediately discovered their rating was not hyperbole. That test drive dramatically changed my frame of reference for what a car can and should be, and I began hunting for a ultra-loaded CPO. This rocketmobile is for people who want supercar performance in a highly sophisticated and luxuriously comfortable daily driver. Its sporty exterior styling touches are attractive, but casual observers might overlook it in a parking lot while admiring other more aggressively sporty-looking cars that significantly underperform the AMG E63 S - which has the advantage of not especially attracting Officer Friendly. The interior is super-special and refined in many ways, a delightful place to experience the unique joy of driving this amazing car. Yes, it’s expensive, but as a total package of performance, technology, and quality, this car is a just-right “Goldilocks” of incredible excellence and minimal compromise in every respect. In the case of the 2019 AMG E63 S, you DO get what you pay for, which is a truly world-class automobile. A very high level of fit and finish quality is displayed everywhere in the 2019 AMG E63 S. The heated Alcantara and leather steering wheel is a pleasure to use - this is what paddle shifters should feel like. Massaging heated and cooled front seats that responsively hug you in road curves are a revelation. The relaxing heated back seat is fine for two average-sized adults, or three for a brief trip. Attractively modern dash displays are a flashy representation of the impressive technology almost overflowing out the windows of this car. I’m very picky about audio but I could type for a long time about the marvelously exceptional "High End 3-D Surround Sound" Burmester audio system. I held out to find a CPO with the upgraded audio and it was worth the effort. The acoustic package’s window tint, optional sunshades, and the nicely effective HVAC system kept the interior comfortable during a southern August; the cold weather package is ready for the winter. The carbon-fiber interior trim is a slick and sporty look that pairs nicely with the dark Alcantara headliner. My car’s obsidian black metallic paint looks great, and I prefer this “pre-refresh” exterior. The aggressive front styling and the trunk badges are more of a giveaway, but from the side, this car looks like standard sedan fare as long as the person next to you at the stoplight can ignore the quarter panel badges that say, “Try me and look silly”. Night package is available; my car has the metallic window and lower body trim, a nice match for the forged cross-spoke wheels with grey accents. The Performance Exhaust, a must-have option on this 600+ HP beast, extends the metallic accent theme to the rear. The carbon-fiber engine cover looks sharp, and I love the “One Man, One Engine” builder’s signature plaque. How great is a German engine built by a guy named Dieter? Beyond incredible, in this case. Subtle touches like rain-sensing wipers, soft-close doors, and automatic LED high-beams that look like an opening theater curtain in front of you when engaging in dark, close surroundings remind you this is a really special car. The AMG E63 S's power and handling are among the very best in this class of vehicles, so it can be extremely tempting to drop your foot in the right situation. There are plenty of numbers published like 3.3 seconds zero-to-60 and experiencing them in the car makes them even more mind-boggling. When the car is set to maximum insanity, the total sensory experience can only be described as video game-like. Work the paddles throwing it through curves and find your jaw in your lap at the performance of a car this size and weight. The laughably massive carbon-ceramic brakes, sure-footed 4MATIC AWD, and fat Michelins inspire tons of confidence. Drop it into Drift mode and hoon like a high-school loon. Try a launch and it'll pin you back in your seat and take your breath away. Really. What’s under that sexy AMG hood is arguably way too rowdy for responsible use on public roads. Choosing between listening to the godlike audio system and the uber-glorious engine is a mighty struggle, especially in Sport Plus mode - or create and save your own Individual mode. The engine’s power and sound are truly spectacular and can quickly land you cheek-down on Officer Friendly’s hood getting fitted for shiny new bracelets if you’re not careful. The thrills are non-stop, and I can’t wait to take it to a road course track day – where all my data can be monitored and stored in the dashboard’s track app. Really?!? It's got a dizzying depreciation trip ahead and a higher-than-average total cost of sedan ownership, but it's also one of the very finest cars of its type. Go drive one.
