Here's a good review on the E450 Cabriolet
I agree with the review. Great cars. https://www.carprousa.com/2019-Merce.../review/337023 A few things I wonder about though, one thing it says at the bottom under specs the car has a spare tire, not in my car. Also says 3500 lb towing capacity? Really? Who would put a hitch on this car and do they even make them? Also a 17.4 gallon capacity fuel tank? I thought it was 21 like my Wagon, but maybe not, I do find myself having the put gas in the cabriolet more often, I thought it was because I do mostly around town and hard driving in my Cabriolet and easy highway driving in my Wagon, I guess that explains though why I'm always needing gas in the Cab.

Yes, the CAB has a 17.4 gallon tank. They are incorrect about the spare tire (I wish it did).

Funny, coming from a Cadillac ATS fuel tank capacity of 16 gallons, going to the 17.4 seems like a much longer time between refills for me. Plus I'm shocked at the better MPG I'm getting with this turbo 6 as opposed to my old turbo 4.

I average around 15 or so in my Cabriolet I’m in sport plus just about all the time. This is my fun car. In my wagon I’m close to 30 mpg as I’m mostly cruising along i75.

Personally I don't find it comfortable to drive around in Sport+ unless I'm on the open road and fully on the move. The throttle is much too sensitive for driving around town.

I agree....it literally jumps and begs to be driven aggressively. The last thing I want to do is attract the police with iit's growl and the change in my driving. As you say, when you get out in the open road, it's another story. It's like have another car at your disposal. Eco, Comfort and Sports mode are one thing.....Sports+1 is another.

I guess it’s what I got use to driving the red amg wagon I traded in for this car. Still no regrets doing the trade in for this car. Even though the amg was much faster I actually enjoy driving this car much more. This car turns more heads on the road to. I think it’s one of the best looking new car on the road.

I've tested this multiple times and it's always the same regardless of mode, which is a shame really.

THEre is popping from the exhaust on decel that’s controlled via the tune of the engine. It’s just a little louder too when that flap in the exhaust opens. I notice my cabrio is a little louder than my wagon all the time

I have heard the subtle popping sound when getting off the throttle, but that is it.
As for how the coupe compares to the sedan, wagon, or even the cabrio, I really couldn't say as I have no personal experience with other variants as a point of reference. I know that there is flow from both exhausts pipes at all times, but have not detected any physical difference between modes.

Same with my CAB. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the pops, gurgle, and growl the first time I drove it. It's no GT, but for me it provides that needed Sports+ sound. I have no idea why your Coupe wouldn't be the same, Stephos!

Yeah, it's a weird one but may well be down to some regional differences.
I've searched youtube high and low for a video that demonstrates the differences on an E450 coupe or cab but haven't found anything so far.
