Its is fascinating though the stark contrast at times of how Merc owners view their C class when they own the sedan v Coupe.
There is many articles that have reviewed this which has surprised me at the disparity between the two within the same brand category.

German built will always be better. For example: another user mentioned how he's consulted many body shops and the paint used in the American plants isnt nearly as durable or protective as the German plants as there are stricter environmental regulations in the States. That and several users voicing their concerns over the build quality of the sedans. Glad I got the coupe (looks much nicer in my opinion anyway) but Im also glad its coming from the same country the brand represents.

You can count me in that group. I don't fault anyone for buying the Coupe, it just doesn't appeal to me at all.

I watched the whole video. Can I have my 5 minutes back? All he does is prattle on without citing specific facts or information. Whether he's right or wrong I think the point is lost when it's just some guy spouting off without anything to back up his "opinions".

2018 Mercedes C43 AMG Coupe
My coupe has problems. I don't believe Germany to make anything over slightly better in fitment than in the States or SA.
My car can't deal with the cold, creaks and rattles and switches literally sticking and popping/cracking off with NO human interaction...
