Hi Joe, I found one like this one near me in black, slightly used for $58,800. Love that brown interior. I prefer big Mercs in black. A great touring car too I think.
In 10 months we will have the first 2018 lease returns of this generation, for under $30k this will be a great moment to get your luxury car experience
Great looking Mercedes Benz. I think the S class coupe has the best looking seats, but I do love the wood trim that goes cross the dash onto the doors.
Nice review of a nice car! However, you did not mention it is the only true "hardtop" available on the market nor show us the nice effect of all windows down, nor the wide opening sunroof panel! Those elements greatly add to the beauty of this vehicle.
Hi Joe. Fun review as always. However, a couple of zonks from me on this one. First, you should drop the click bait titles. You didn't mention the A5 once in the entire review. Why ask a question that you had no intention of answering. Second, you have already reviewed the E53 AMG. Granted even it's not a full AMG, but that is the closest we have in NA. There was no compare/contrast with that model. My final point, I think that you should review cars in the context/market in which they compete. For this car, it is clearly meant to be a GT car. Compare it to other GT cars above and below its price range. You have driven several already while many of us have not. Your perspective would provide valuable input for those looking to purchase a vehicle in this category. I really appreciate the honesty and enthusiasm of your reviews. If you can just take that next step your content will be even better.
Joe, Why dont you adjust the driver seat for you, and on the back seat analysis you seat right behind? That would great.. the eay you normally do, we do not have a precise idea of how much leg room you have on the back seat..... Please fix that if possible....
Not sure if anyone mentioned it already but the A5 competes with the C Class not the E. The E Class is the competitor to the A6. The previous E class coupe could arguably compete with the A5 as it was built on the C Class chassis however not this one. Cheers.
I really like the way you review all the cars. You give a lot of good information and I really think you are one of the most honest reviewers out there. And I do want to know if a car has a place for me to hide my Twinkies and can a cup holder hold my big gulp. Keep up the great work!!
I’m trying to buy a used e400 now. I need that emerald green color, but they are so rare. I’ll probably end up having to buy one from a dealer 1000+ miles away
After all that hard braking during the test drive, at the recap at 19:25 the front rotor is still coated with rust. Hmm...did you drive through a deep puddle right before you parked it?
@@RaitisRides Yeah, I was just goofin. But for real there are 4 comments from guys (that obviously never hosed off a car) wondering why the rotors are rusty and that they need to be zonked and polished.
How can you see out the window? I agree keep the formula it works there are some fun quirks but serious enough to use your reviews to actually buy a car.
@@RaitisRides no problem it's funny because I own this car and I had the same issue not sure if it's this car or what but they told me to do that at the dealership and it fixed it.
Congrats 💪McGhee. Any chance you can provide a link to Tom's news interview Joe? I would love to see the story. Hopefully those 💪won't completely block the camera shot. PS: I really hope I am not butchering his last name.
Hey Joe, another favorite question. What car has had your favorite interior? You a simple guy? Or like your deatails? I’m pretty simple, as long as it’s reliable, I’m all for it.
2019 C43 AMG I own it. Best car I've ever had the pleasure of owning. Tuned by Renn Tech and Dyno comp with custom AMG flash MAP 405 awhp 470 llb ft 0 to 60 3.8 seconds Yes I have the AMG exhaust with OPF delete It's a monster for sure so C43 over the E450
Really depends on what you are looking for in a car. I test drove an e53 Amg, and although a beautiful, larger and smoother car than the c43, it felt huge and much slower on the road and I was ultimately bored driving it. The c43 had me smiling from ear to ear from the start as it’s more on the sports car end of the spectrum than the e53. The exhaust note is awesome and just felt more lighter and fun to drive. I didn’t test drive the E450, but I would imagine it would feel even slower and sluggish than the E53. Test driving them though is the only real way to see if it’s what you want 😃.
Trust me the C43 is the ultimate choice I traded in my 2018 BMW 340i M sport JB4 tuned ! The C43 is on a whole nother level especially when tuned you release the beast inside 👍💪🙏💯 And for the ones who don't know or question it... Call Mercedes up yourself and ask if the C43 AMG is a true AMG car ?? The answer well yes of course it is and it performs like it too
I drove one and as sleek and low as it is, it drove way too soft for my liking.. I thought it would handle better and be somewhat sporty to drive but it wasnt...... I also looked at a E53, and it was a bit more sporty and quicker off the line, but when you consider it was about the same as a new BMW M550i ... I think I like the 550 better..
Compared to most UA-camrs, for only having this channel for 2 years you grew very fast. Good work 🙏🏽
Thanks my friend! I can't do it without your support!
I stumbled upon your video.... I must say you're one of the best sales people I've ever seen. Coming from a salesman... Kudos to you. You're spot on.
I have to say, I like your reviews very much. Very precise and unbiased unlike others in this segment. Keep the good work!
You know you’re hot when you get a notification and by the time you click on the video there’s 60 views and 3 comments. Dang awesome work Joe.
Thanks Charles for saying that! I really appreciate your awesome support!

Thanks for the time frame. I am taking advantage of this.
Ur dreaming dude, more like $50k.
@@imthesameboyiusetobe Just got my 2018 E400 Coupe for 45k with 18k miles. Not bad at all but not in the 30k for sure.
@@johntease6782 I have always wondered how 'sporty' the E400 is to drive. I know the 6 cylinder diesel dishes out a lot of power, but is it fun?
I just picked up a 2015 E550 biturbo V8 and so far it's been great. 30 mpg on my last road trip. Can't beat that.
any issues at all?
i really miss days when Benz named their cars after the engine placement
I totally agree with you Melvin!
Nothing has changed, E450 in this case means that it's got the power of a 4.5 liter V8.
LifeStoriesTV awww. Someone wasn’t paying attention to the video. It’s a twin turbo v6. Open your wars next time you watch a video or comment.
@@mrcuboid Huh?? Did you not read my comment? I said it's got the same Power as a 4.5 V8, I did NOT say it was a 4.5 V8.
I didn't realize MB had dropped that until I watched this.
That Wagon in the background is what I prefer 👍🏾
I can understand why!
Another morning in the office, another video from Joe to binge watch. Keep em' coming!
I am glad to see greens are making their way back into the showroom floor.
Can't wait to see the AMG specs......Benz hardly disappoints.....
JMO but MB design in general has gotten better year after year. This one is beautiful and the interior is perfect.
Great looking Mercedes Benz. I think the S class coupe has the best looking seats, but I do love the wood trim that goes cross the dash onto the doors.
Dang Joe you were whipping it in that right turn. Had some confidence with the Merc huh?
I was feeling good and in tune with her!
I'm going to have zonk the camera placement during the test drive. The window sticker.
Hey Joe... Nice job... Nonstop videos!
is it allowed in USA to drive w/ half of front window under paper?
jsut asking
It's not, but doesn't seem like he cares.
I am in awe of those door panels, but more in awe of the Tennessee Titans. Go Titans!!
Nice review of a nice car! However, you did not mention it is the only true "hardtop" available on the market nor show us the nice effect of all windows down, nor the wide opening sunroof panel! Those elements greatly add to the beauty of this vehicle.
This guy is very well spoken, great 👍🏼 video man
One of my favorite car
I am so glad that I can bring it to you!
Hi Joe, great vid and review, but I think you've got the top speed a bit wrong... I think it's 155mph, limited.
that fart noise coming out of the exhaust sounds just like my c300 lol, was expecting more on the V6.
I totally agree with you!
It’s nice. I love coupe’s. Another great review. Keep up the good work.

The sticker on the window really bothered me during the drive 🤦🏽♂️
Joe, I think the direct competitor to the E class is the Audi A6 lineup
A new E coupe is in real a C class.
The old 320 coupe and the CE coupe is a real E class in the jahre 1990..
Thanks for sharing that input Jerome!
@@antoniocalimero1173 This is true!

I have the 2019 E450 coupe and i still love the car.. #BenzGang
Mercedes are beautiful to look at but too expensive to own for me. Leasing might be a better choice. Nice review Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Hmmm at 362 horses I was expecting a better sound coming from the exhaust. Beautiful car overall though
I totally agree with you!
Love the camera work in this video. That’s the only thing you was kinda missing 🙏🏽
Great 👍🏾 review! Bring the AMG E 63 S to the channel! I’m hoping to take a look at it this coming week.
I’m digging the T-shirt Joe 👌🏾
Thanks Webster! They are available on the Raiti's Rides Spread shirt store.
Not sure if anyone mentioned it already but the A5 competes with the C Class not the E. The E Class is the competitor to the A6. The previous E class coupe could arguably compete with the A5 as it was built on the C Class chassis however not this one. Cheers.
Yes, this one is in a level by itself
I actually specced out one just like this! Would you say its worth getting the E53 coupe or just stick with the E450 and a tune?
OMG Joe I was just this second on your channel browsing around 😎. LOL the same time.
Jay Patel Sup Jay
@@mattagui5718 Sup G
In my humble opinion the E450 got the best design flowing lines
I'm not sure about these wheels maybe the multispokes would look better.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Andre!
I love your videos, the on road stuff would have been better without the sticker blocking the windshield
Hey Joe, can you review a 5 series between the years of 2011 to 2016?

Paddle shifters. Which do you prefer? Mounted on the steering wheel or on the steering column?
i would keep the whole vent black and the horizontal match the car color...idk
I’m trying to buy a used e400 now. I need that emerald green color, but they are so rare. I’ll probably end up having to buy one from a dealer 1000+ miles away
Could always order a new one

Haven’t watched it yet and I already love the video/Car.
🤔 those drls look a little like the support wires of of a standard light bulb, without the tungsten filament.
V6
Jeremy Clarkson POWER!!!
Good review. Thank you. 🚘
Why is there rust on the tire already?
Was hoping to more bark from the exhaust
I'm waiting for the 2020 audi s5 and rs5 review
Does the dealer charge extra for the rusty rotors, or do they give a “Thanks Florida Humidity” discount? 😂 Awesome car.
LOL
How can you see out the window? I agree keep the formula it works there are some fun quirks but serious enough to use your reviews to actually buy a car.

That colour looks gorgeous
Man, do you do Buick reviews?There is a new and improved Buick Encore SUV releasing this year.Love your videos by the way keep it up.
Super pumped for the Alfa brother.
Joe loves a chat. Beautiful car. ty 4 vid
All you had to do to get that rust off was drive it a little... back it up with the brakes barely touching. Would have looked better for the review!
Thanks for your feedback Chris.

Test driving them though is the only real way to see if it’s what you want 😃.
Jason McConnell I agree 100%. I would go one step further and say even without the tune, I would still get the c43...which I did lol.
I’m looking for luxury and sport .. But i think i’m going for c43 im buying one this week :)
Trust me the C43 is the ultimate choice I traded in my 2018 BMW 340i M sport JB4 tuned ! The C43 is on a whole nother level especially when tuned you release the beast inside 👍💪🙏💯

The answer well yes of course it is and it performs like it too
Thought A5 competes with C-class coupe, not with E-class. No?
No 5 does
Adjustable Seat 💺 Bolstering on the E Class, S Class but not on the C Class. The infotainment has a “ Seat 💺 Setting “
That is such a very good point Richard.
@@RaitisRides So what’s the answer Joe ??
I don't give a damn what nobody says, ppl complain about German engineering, but ain't shyte like it!!,, Hail: BMW, Benz, Audi!!!
Lovely Benz!
👍💯video💯👍
That great is very unique!
E450 Coupe is closer to 4.9 secs in 0-60. Mercedes only says 5 flat so it doesn't enter the 4-second mark like their E53 coupe at 4.3 seconds.
Beautiful Car. I want 1

2:35 Brown rotors from water
I thought the frontend was damaged from the thumbnail
Is it just me or is there not enough chrome in the front?
I have to Zonk that non, gear shift, the dial ain't cuul and yes the paddles have to go. I hear ya man
E Class is A6, 5 series territory
Thanks for the info.
No, a E coupe is in real, a C class!
I think C coupe is the competitor of the A5, not E Coupe.
