Hello ..traded my e400 for a beautiful e300 with 47k miles ..car runs good but just wondering if the car suppose to sound they way it does .. basically like a cheap 4 Cyl car . lol.. especially at lower RPM.. is this normal ? Haven't owned a 4 Cyl car in a long time .. thanks 👍

 

Yes, it’s the nature of the beast.

 

The e400 is a 6 cylinder. Did you test drive the e300 before you bought it?

 

I bet, you will come back here and say this sounds way nicer after u get used to it. E300 4 cyl, doesn't look or sound good at the first sight, but continuous looking and hearing will make you like it more. I always put it in sport (not the plus) and the engine roar is good. I know its not the fastest, but definitely like the steering/maneuvering etc.

 

If your E300 sounds like a Cheap Hyundai, I would ask your dealer to look at it, or in this case, listen to it. I owned a few 4 bangers in the pass, this E300 is the best sounding 4 cylinder out of them all, especially in sport mode. Of course the E400 will sound better but its all relative, it depends on what you compare it to. For example, the V8 in my CLS550 sounds much better than the E400.
