I hope everyoneis doing well,
Im intrested in a 2017 W207 E400 it has 15,000 miles on it if I decide to buy it. it will be my daily driver. I wanted to ask the people that have experience with the E coupe. over all what to look for before buying and in general is it a good car to own for 2 years? thanks in advance.
Coming April, it will be two years for me with almost 20K miles. Everything is fine, no issues. Only wish MB had equipped it with heated steering wheel liked the sedan. I sure can use it here in NJ.
The wood steering wheel is very nice looking-- it does add a touch class. In the winter it's like a touch of ICE. When I bought the car, I understood that the steering wheel was not heated . . . I just did not imagine how much I would miss it. (My previous 2014 BMW 5 had a heated wheel.)
I have a 2016 E400 coupe, only been a few weeks so far but I love it. Mine was CPO'd.
I get 28 - 30 mpg if I'm driving in eco mode and driving normally, but if I drive in sport mode on back roads and have fun I go down to 10-15.
Eco mode is smooth and comfortable, and sport mode definitely has a good sense of acceleration.
Yours should also have CarPlay/Android auto so thats a great feature to have.
I love the car so far, I'm hoping it stays a pleasure to own, but reading all the posts on the forums definitely make me think it will be

I am on my 2nd e400 coupe (2015 & now a 2017). I’ve had zero issues with either coupe. I purchased both new. A great car! Enjoy!

thank you so much for your positive comments gentlemen. I have only one question left. is it comfortable? and I dont know if this one has messaged seats or does the W207 have it in general. once again thank you.

~ mine has the following seat options:
P02 / Premium 2 Package: active ventilated front seats
321 / Sport Package: multi-contour front seat (lumbar support - upper, lower, front leg area, side bolsters, etc)
these two items are the only seat options available for the e coupe. heated front seats were standard at least for the 2017 model year
it has these switches on both seats. what option is this?

Comfortable enough, not Saab comfortable. but you can drive for hours without feeling like you need to unfold yourself. You will have spent hours in the most bland and boring environment on the planet though.
I bought mine CPO'd in September of 2017, with about 12,000 miles on it (now has about 25,000). It has been in and out of the dealer service department quite frequently since then, although not for anything serious so far. Unlike my previous car, which was a 2011 BMW e92, this car has presented a fairly constant stream of nuisance issues, e.g., noises, vibrations, off-center steering wheel, etc. I've been trying to get all of them addressed before the factory warranty expires this summer, but it's been rather challenging. It took four dealer visits for them to get the steering wheel straight when driving in a straight line. The other big headache has been a deep vibration/rattle that emanates from the roof when driving over rough pavement in relatively cool weather. There are threads on this board regarding loose mounting bolts for the panoramic roof, and my headliner has been dropped three times in the past year for this issue; it's going back in next week for the same thing. Another issue they'll be looking at then is the Eco start/stop function, which is becoming increasingly erratic. Sometimes I can drive all the way to work (about 20 miles) without the engine shutting off once, and then on my way home it will shut off every time I come to a stop. My service adviser suspects the auxiliary battery may be going bad.
To be clear, though, the car has never left me anywhere or had any serious mechanical failures so far.
I have had mine for 4 years and it has been totally trouble free. I would buy another one without hesitation. Trouble is I don't like the new shape.
Totally agree with the boring new model. MB made a big mistake with the new body design. I bought mine in April 1017. Two reasons I did not wait a few months for the new model. One, I would not buy any first year model of any make after I learned my lesson with the totally new design of 2003 E500. Second, the new E, to me, was a disaster body design. I hope by the time I am ready for a new one, a better looking E will surface.
I only have the E350 AMG Sport model.
It is a very comfortable car to drive, I am 1.98m tall and fit no problem. I came from a SAAB 9-5ng which had amazing seats but the Merc is just as comfy.
Drove from Holland back to Scotland in 14 hours with no aches.

Mine is a 2015 bought CPO last AUG. It is in superb condition as the non big city Benz dealer I buy from only sells the cream puffs. It is Dolomite Brown with the AMG trim package. I consider this a sturdy, well made model and have had no issues.
I have a question of my own though. Some of these C207s have a chrome or plastic chrome front lower lip trim all the way across but some just have a thin center strip and body color on the rest of the below bumper area. Is this an add on or some variants made with the front end that way? The black one pictured has the full chrome.

the models with the AMG package will have that more aggressive front lip and will also be slightly lowered compared to the non AMG package (I think those models are just called Luxury trim) cars
Update: The issue with my Eco start/stop functionality was low voltage from the battery under the hood. A lifespan of 25,000 miles seems awfully brief to me, but it was replaced under warranty and this corrected the problem.

So the main battery and not the accessory battery? Unusual, but not unheard of.
