A lot of the things that you didn’t like were changed or fixed in the 2019 models. Cruise control is now on the steering wheel, the black gloss center console now matches the rest of the trim pieces, etc. The big difference in the E and S is that my E gets 28-30 in the city on the economy dynamic setting and 38-40 on 18:26 the highway. An S will struggle to get to 25 mpg. The sport models are noisier and ride harsher. I have a luxury model and it’s quiet and comfortable inside.

Just got a second hand e400. I hope it isn't as plasticky as it looks! Thanks for the review. Edit: I....am actually REALLY enjoying the car! There is a rattle under the dash somewhere on and off - and the airmatic suspension is due for replacement (every 7-10 years) but the engine is fantastic and the ride is Wonderful and the interior leather etc looks and smells good. It's true what they say Mercedes is more expensive to maintain - but you don't service as often - and the V6 is so smooth and effortless. I've had it 6 months and I drive everyday - I look for excuses! It's a great place to relax. I get the feeling though that it's the set up - my 400e is 4matic and fully loaded - ex Japan - German build. It's really solid.

@@jayjaynuga6354 Hi there! It's really, really good - I'm very happy - in fact I'm going for a drive just now. I go for a drive everyday - whatever excuse! The V6 is a beautiful engine - no problems with it at all. It sounds great, it's smooth, effortless and very quiet - and it's fast. I love it. You just press it a little bit and it's passed everyone - and you barely hear it. I got the airmatic and the dealer says I'll have to change it in a few years - it's very expensive $8000 for all four plus the work - but I'll get a non dealer to do it with Merc parts for half this. No problems at the moment though. Dealer says the V6 400e is the most reliable W213 as long as you do the engine and transmission oils at Mercedes, and use high Octane fuel. I use high Shell. All the electronics work well, the drivers assistance is fun and reliable, the stereo is excellent. I lubricated the sunroof immediately - no problems. You have to check for rust on the rear subframe. I bought a diagnostic tool online (X-Tool $300) so I print out a diagnostic before general service ($500) and I intend to do 3 or 4 services a year. The lights are wonderful at night if you get the adaptive ones - they do everything and the road looks really good. Paint and body are excellent. Seats are excellent - interior looks new - I'm happy about this. The ride is so comfortable. You have to set aside at least $2000 dollars above the price you pay for it (I got mine at $18,000 ex Japan - 108,000kms - 68000 miles) so you can get all the fluids replaced and do a full Merc Service as soon as you get it. I'm just so pleased. I did the same as you and watched all the videos and did all the internet research - skip the diesel engines, actually any of the 4s because many have engine trouble and you don't know which ones. I think the 400e might be the last non - hybrid V6. They evolved over a long period so they refined the build (I'm 2017) and parts are no problem. I love the car. Press it a little and you've passed everyone - without even hearing it. You don't have to drive it hard to go quick - and it feels supremely capable and smooth. Check your VIN and make sure it's a WDD (German). It's a great car. I'm going to keep it forever!

Good video. I am a little bit shocked. I also have a w213 (e200). To be honest I really like the car, it drives so smooth, my seats are in good condition, I also don't have problems with the black round trims. Only the midconsule plastic has some scratches, but thats all. I chiptuned the car, it has 250HP now and 400nm, it feels so fast after the chiptuning. Yes ofcourse a SUV has more space, but I think the E class has enough space, enough for me. I have heard more stories about Mercedes cars in USA. Strange, but it looks like those cars are from lower quality then Mercedes in Europe. They are not German made is USA I heard

Thanks for an in-depth & honest candid review of the 2017 E300. I had the 1997 E320 in the past and it was a great car. I was in the market to buy a 2019 E300 but I felt let down when I test drove it. I felt the E300 was closer to the C-Class than being closer to the S-Class. It also lacked power & was a bit too loud in decibels & too plasticy in materials. But I thought I was too harsh in my opinion, so I searched for owner reviews on YT. Your review revalidated my concerns and thank you so much for that. I’m now considering the 2018 S560 instead. It’s slightly more money but it’s a lot better car and lot more comfortable. Thanks again to hold me back from making a $38K mistake.

Everyone that has ridden in my E300 is wowed by the interior. In my opinion you should buy it!

My E300 is peeling around the console. The chrome has been coming off since the 2nd year but other than that it’s holding up. This weekend I dropped the rack, the subframe and lifted the engine up so I could pull the pan and to replace the harness and diverter valve. I was able to knock it out without pulling the pan completely out. I couldn’t get the dipstick to come out to drop the pan all the way. But that fixed the P0D6A code that was showing on my scanner. The harness actually fell apart in my hand. My car has 58k on it right now. You can display the HP and TQ on the radio and I have the sport pkg with the massaging seats but they look identical to your seats. Our interior is identical. My car is white though. Honestly my car seems to be holding up better and mine is built in Stuttgart Germany. Maybe they put the interior protectant on your car. I opted not to use the Ultra Coat product. I do all the work myself and I get the parts from FCPEruo. They carry genuine Mercedes parts for service. I also get 40.22 on the highway consistently. To be honest I didn’t pick the E300. I took over my girlfriends lease because she was over mileage and we gave my Fusion Hybrid to her kid. You can get the smoke smell out. She smoked and it took about 6 of the Maguires car bombs to get rid of the smell. I don’t smoke so it drove me crazy. I had to do it a few times over a couple weeks to get rid of the smell and I also used Mr Bubbles spray cleaner on the seats and dash to help remove the smell. You can’t tell today that she smoked in it and that Mr Bubbles was a tip for the leather from DuroFoam when I ordered parts for my F250 diesel.

First World Problems???? How about this for a NEW!!!! car. Bought new E300 in 2020. In the 1st year of owning the COMAND system failed. Hence no mobile, no radio, no maps not safety controls basically a black screen AND A VERY UNSAFE CAR. After 4 weeks in service it was replaced. 18 months later same issue - replaced again. Exactly 2 years and 1 month later COMAND fault again. Here's the kicker though, the replacement COMAND only has 2 year warranty and guess what Mercedes said. YEP. RIGHT. Out of warranty. Bear in mind this E300e we have owned since new IN 2020 and always serviced by Mercedes has only 46,700Km on the clock and now everything is billable. Guess how much it costs to replace the COMAND module ....198,000Baht equivalent to about $7,000 US Will I buy another Mercedes...NEVER. Let me repeat that NEVER!!!!!!!!!! So our next car is a BMW 530M Sport that comes complete with 5 years unconditional warranty and 5 years complimentary service. OH YES... foregot something. Mercedes do not provide the first service as complimentary...they bill you for EVERYTHING!!!! Don't get me wrong the Mercedes looked beautiful, was lovely to drive but we paid an arm and a leg for it. But its Mercedes. They do not stand behind their product. Everything is your fault and they try to bleed you every way they can. Mercedes product warranty. FACT or FICTION? You choose!!!
