Just ordered.....

My wife just ordered a new 2013 E350 Coupe 4M. The car should be built in early June and arrive here sometime in July. It was a toss up between the ML and the cpe. The sportiness of the cpe won out. She loves her W212 but thinks it's a bit matronly looking car. I'm not sure if it's the wise choice but time will tell.
I must say that her 2010 E350 has been a great car. She has owned that car since Aug. 2009 and there was only one warranty claim for a defective lock. That is amazing for a first year build car.
Excluding gas all we have spent is one A service and one B service.

I think the Coupe is a much better and fitted choice for a female, and that's not an attempt to knock it.

IMO, it just looks odd to see so many woman driving the W212, because the car looks so masculine and angular, just an odd fit to a feminine species.

W212 FL
Congrats, I agree with K-A . Coupes should be more suitable for females but these cars are C Class based not E W212 despite E badge on them
I prefer sedans for anything but if I ever wanted to buy a coupe my route would be E Class surely

Nice choice. Interesting toss up between 2 cars lol, though I do understand it.

Looking forward to your thoughts on it. Be aware that it has active TPMS (unlike most other Canadian models) if you're planning to purchase winter wheels/tires.
