BC Canada Road Trip and Luggage Packing Record!
Just wanted to share a cool pick of our '14 E350A in Pemberton, BC (30 minutes north of Whistler). We did 2000 miles over 8 days and I can't believe how comfortable this car was to drive and ride in - MORE comfortable than the '14 E350 sedan we had pervious, albiet a bit smaller.
Speaking of smaller, I also want to share the item list of things I got into our cabriolet for the road trip - It was a ski and golf road trip:
2 pair of skis
2 pair of ski poles
2 ski boot bags with ski clothes and helmets
2 full sets of golf clubs
1 large garment bag of clothes
1 medium size duffle bag stuffed
1 large size wheeled carry-on bag stuffed
1 small soft sided cooler
1 soft sided briefcase
1 16 lbs. Boston Terrier
2 people (driver and passenger)
Awesome vehicle. And no we couldn't put the top down with all that in for traveling between destination, but we could at each destination with a few things removed and stored in the hotel room.

2014 E550 Coupe and 2010 E350 Sedan
That's awesome! You found it more comfortable than the sedan? I love my coupe, but when I get in the 2010 sedan, it's a bit more cushy feeling with the softer seats and whatnot.
That is REALLY impressive you were able to pack all of that.

Its mostly the seats in the cabriolet that fit and support me better than the '14 sedans' seats that were too broad and flat with no side lumbar adjustments or under-thigh height adjuster. Also the handling in cabriolet is just so much better (for me and the wife) as we felt the sedan was just too underdamped and had too much body roll - My wife would feel sick after 15 minutes in the sedan on a curvey road. There is also probably differences in your '10 and the '14 I had and your '10 may actually be more comfortable.
