2015 E 400 Coupe
2015 New E400 Coupe Owner

Long story made slightly shorter. Six weeks ago I purchased a 2014 white E400 Coupe here in Australia. On the sixth day of ownership, another driver went straight through a give way sign (think stop sign for US folks) and totalled my car. I loved the car for the short period of time I owned it and was able to find a silver one in Melbourne for sale. I live in Brisbane which is some distance away and ended up purchasing a 2015 E400 but in silver this time round. The process of buying a used car even with an independent third party inspection was a bit nerve fraying but I am now enjoying the car very much.

First off, I love the lines of the car and while it doesn't do supercar speed, it does everything very well. I like that the car isn't completely overrun with tech, that said it did take me a fair bit of time going through the manual and getting to speed on everything. I think the only thing I haven't figured out yet which I am not likely to use much of is the automatic parking feature.

Overall the car is smooth when required and can bite when put into sport mode and punched. I think the V6 twin turbo has enough grunt without me potentially losing my licence. As it is the car is bit thirsty, I think if I had the v8 I would likely be taking the bus. Anyways, nice to meet the MBW crew.

Cheers, the safety features are great. Sadly there isn't one for being T-boned. Come on Mercedes. Time to create a new feature.
