2018 E400 Coupe vs 2017 C43 amg
Hi everyone,
I'm 25.
I currently own C300 2013 and want to upgrade.
I can't decide between 2018 E400 Coupe (31k miles) and 2017 C43 (20k Miles). Both cars are white and cost the same.
Things I like about E400: Shape of the car, luxurious interior, ambient lighting, 18months/ 19k warranty left.
Things I don't like about E400: Analogue cluster
Things I like about c43: AMG Exhaust sound, acceleration.
Things I don't like about E400: simple interior, 9month warranty left
As you can tell I don't know what I want lol
I undestand that e400 provides a more luxurious drive, but c43 provides a more fun drive. That is why I think it would be smart to consider any car issues that I may incounter along the way. Which car i would spend more on maintenance?
Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

hmmm try to go on an extended test drive and drive it like you normally would. Sure, the c43 is fun - but if you are not always speeding or stuck in traffic, whole different story. Also, check insurance costs, maybe one might end up being a deal breaker

Owning both a 2015 C400 and a 2014 E350. I would pick the E class, the smoothness of the ride and comfort for me out weighs anything the C43 offers, But I'm also double your age so that may factor in as well.
