Those blue lights in the interior look incredible. I would cruise around with the top down all night being warmed by the heated seat and air scarf just to see them lit up.
We need a whole video like that! Would be so relaxing
I’m sure there would be people with guns joining you for the night rofl
watch less bad anime
Indeed!!
Dammit...can't believe the whole subscription break worked on me !
You boys are killing it. Insightful, funny and well produced material. Keep it up! Can't wait for the Veloster N full review when it comes out.
I raised a question about the purpose of the so-called ‘visor test’ in the last video comments, and you guys responded! Holy-s**t. Actually I figured that out by watching another 20 videos in your channel, and I have to say you guys are one of the most entertaining channels on UA-cam! Such amazing chemistry. Awesome!
generationfourth Coz they did the ‘test’ super quickly in the first video that I watched, so I’m really unsure. I live in Hong Kong and we seldom need to block the sun from the sides as the buildings are too tall and the sky is seldom truly clear. Cheers!
that struggle when you see videos from the straight pipes and doug demuro and have to decide which one ..
BurakJ22 You know the right answer is here.
doug is great, but he's easily second. yuri and jakub are incredibly entertaining and have amazing synergy as a duo. hands down my favorite car review channel on youtube.
Both! I watched Doug's and Mark (Savagegeese) yesterday, Yuri and Jacob today, probably Brian (RCR) tomorrow.
Seriously good content from everyone.
Production quality here is simply superb.
Doug's videos are by comparision inelegant.
I watch straight pipes first cause Doug's videos go up to the 30 minute mark these days.
Door close intro in one take! NICE! Also, that key fob is ridiculous, and that cute kid trying to hit the button was hilarious!
Love your channel guys, for so many reasons...
Rex-test; visor-test; the basic ‘two-friends-in-one-cabin’ review...and the obvious: that head-bang outro!
Also- much great information on new models.
Love this channel...keep on keepin’ on!! 👍
(and damn... that Black-Ass Wood, son!)
Grant Stanfield Yeah, & i were kinda wondering whose "Ash"'es they put in their black color interiors at Mercedes...? ;)
I hate watching ad's, but for the straight pipes I watch the whole ad and give it a thumbs up!
Thanks!
Y’all are one of the best, if not the best car review channel I’ve ever seen. Subbed and bell on. Y’all deserve millions of subs for real.
Jakub's face with the piano black touch buttons..... LOL... Priceless!!!
I freaking love the production quality yall put in!
I gotta say this time around I am team coupe, that white with the baseball glove brown leather with wood trim and no b-pillar... Stright Class! Love the camera work at night, that cab looks amazing!
When this generation e class first came out, I thought the ambient lighting was kinda ostentatious, but it grew so much on me that it’s the sole reason I want to buy an e class. Btw, the night driving scenes are spectacular. Keep up the good work!
I have a 2018 Iridium Silver E400 Coupe. I live in Southern California, where the weather is sunny and beautiful the majority of the year. I love to drive with all windows down and the pano sunroof open. It almost feels like driving in a convertible.
one of the best TSP reviews of 2018, fired up Jakub and hard-hitting Yuri, 10:07 oh yehh sweet boy...!
The very day that I first saw this video, I saw an elderly couple driving their Merc Cabriolet with the crazy windshield wind screen deployed. I was in the know because I was subscribed and caught this video. Just saw them again, today, with top down and front wind screen deployed!
My dad literally picked up his E350 droptop at the weekend it is actually the most beautiful car ive ever driven in and it looks amazing with the AMG package with the little spoiler and more aggressive front and rear diffusers.
I see this all the time in the city of South Korea.. I see this thing depreciating in a few years and I’m looking forward to purchasing a used one! Great review!
You boys are on a major roll. Keep up the excellent work!
Jakub your face when Yuri mentioned gloss black buttons 😂😂😂
Excellent work as always guys. Best in the business by a mile 👍
That was a cool-assed intro. You guys switched it up nicely. I'm on the Coupe Team because @ nearly $100,000 price tag, that's pretty pricey. Great job on this video as always.
I have a 2012 E350 Cabrio, and that e400 coupe has me drooling
as I'm searching for my next E350 purchase, this video was very helpful - non-convertible it is. Thank you so much.
Totally the convertible! I love the full open-air experience, and I really don't mind the looks.
I honestly wouldn't have cared about rewinding satellite radio in any car, but Yuri has sold it in so many videos that there is no way I could live without it now.
Coupe or Cabriolet?

TheStraightPipes coupe!
Cab cab cab
ITS 4WD not AWD
Coupe
Cab if it came with a tan or beige interior
I drive e200 previous model, so windows down and roof open is perfect no cabrio is needed. LOVE IT))
I just opened up a massive selection of tabs containing all the car channels I'm subscribed to. And you know who's I'm watching first? ;) Great video, again guys.
Daniel Hemingway it was an year ago I subscribed to these guys and I remember unsubscribing every other car channel, well except for Doug.
TheStraightPipes..the best
Great job. Love the interior, especially the night setup. Miss having the standard opening music though.
You guys are awesome. I feel like Im on a road trip talking casually to some bros about cars.
I test drove a 2018 and part of my test was putting the top up and down with the key fob as illustrated at 8:57. It couldn't have been easier. My only thought is that they had a defective key fob, or maybe it just needed new batteries. It truly could not have been easier and was very responsive to a light touch
I never liked convertibles, but got a chance to drive a Boxster for a week, and the first time I did a shoulder check I understood the draw. This car was really sweet looking in real life, I’d be happy if this was my cruising car.
I’m on the coupe team. Can’t beat the swooping line when the windows are down 👌🏼
I love you guys for explaining the visor test.
You guys deserve 1M subscribers!
That car looks stuning! I would get the cabrio because I personally love convertibles
Please spend more time describing how it feels to drive - the handling, braking, engine characteristics. Most other things we can read in the specs or see in photos. I like your videos.
I love the air cap in that car I would ride around like that all the time nobody else has that and it would make me happy so I love it LOL #you guys are the best!!!!!!
Fun fact about the key fob feature: that feature is present on ALL Mercedes-Benz cars, not just cabriolets (even my old 2002 Mercedes CLK430 coupe has it). On the non-cabriolets, it just rolls down all the windows and opens the moonroof. If you have ventillated seats, it'll also turn on the driver's seat cooler.
On cars with keyless access (where you leave the key in your pocket, put your hand in the door handle and it unlocks, etc), you can put the top back up by putting your finger over the lock sensor and keeping it there.
Came here after three years because this has been one of those days you'd love to have one of these...and it's snowing! Such a channel I've been loving since long time ago. By the way... did anyone mentioned:
"Limp Bizkit - Re-arranged"? Think about it
Great vid guys!
The cabriolet looks like a cabriolet, but that coupe is something else. Another sick video lads, keep 'em coming. Yeet!
Picking one up at the factory in July.
Can't wait to drive it on the Autobahn for 1 month before shipping it back to California...
Really good review. Most of the car reviewers only show the car and it's features. Coming from a UX design student, I like the fact you mention the interaction between the car. The key fob function is defiantly a fail! Hah.
As someone who has owned a couple of soft top cars in the past, I'm team coupe all the way. Also, the greasy chip Easter egg was hilarious.
Awesome review... and I like the coupe... nicer roof line!
E400 Coupe with windows down for sure. Another great Mercedes review.
You should add speed bump or potholes test to your video. :)
cabriolet in the summer, on a Greeck islang, or Amalfi coast... french riviera why not.. nothing beats that.
Open top cars in bright sunlight is not my thing,at night --FANTASTIC.The coupe would be my preference as daily choice,but I still would buy the longroof version.
I prefer the coupe to be honest. I never really liked the way that Mercedes does its convertibles unless its the S-class cabriolet. I also feel that after a couple years of owning the convertible in a wintery climate, it will look awful after like 2 years, so I would much rather go with the coupe. The only convertible that I would get is the BMW 6 Series Convertible. That thing is sexy.
Convertibles aren't that hard to take care of, especially modern ones.
Cabriolet for sure. Nothing better than night cruising downtown with no roof!
Convertible down over coupé! Something about topless cars just makes the driving experience so pleasurable especially Mercedes because it’s so relaxing yet can still tackle the corners.
E400 is just such a great car I struggle to pic which type I like the most
When seven out of eight videos on your ‘Watch it Again’ playlist are The Straight Pipes....
Oh, and coupe windows down.
After reading the title, I can literally hear Migos Bad and Boujee 😂
Lmao yes my people
2018 Mazda mx5 RF
Think about it by Special Ed is the song you were talking about...love you guys...keep up the good work.
cabriolet top down. And by the way, please show the top goes up/down from outside too, it's really cool and I love watching it on and on!
Loving your videos guys. Not many good UA-camrs for cars in Canada. Thought I would add to the shopping cart discussion you guys started. Have you guys considered the old and new Porsche Targa.
In fact the classic one the back window for the hatch was plastic and could be folded away for a “shopping cart” style driving. The new one does have glass window over the hatch but can see the handle while he mechanism is working while roof operations. Just a thought lol
I have an 09 CLK AMG spec in black. And I think it looks cool with all windows down.
Remember though that the A Class tech is software related. On their larger cars like this, the tech is more hardware related. You won't get a 6 cylinder, massage seats, air suspension, night vision etc in an A Class. You are also not getting the same level of ride quality or refinement. The tech here is still amazing by the way. I just think it showd the target audience to an extent. Alot of people these days a taken by easily done software wizardry over amazing hardware engineering.
One day Jakub... One day a car manufacturer will be watching your vids and know much you hate piano black interiors and make the entire steering wheel... Piano gloss black. Safety hazard? Maybe but to see how youd react to it?... Priceless lol
Try me
TheStraightPipes theyll come out with an all piano gloss black interrior. Seats, visors, stick shift, steering wheel, knobs, switches, door handles, rear view mirror, seat belts, cup holders, key fob, motor oil, oil pan, and last but not least... Yuri dipped in piano gloss black... I dont know where im going with that one so I'll stop there... Yeah...
Yeah, & i were kinda wondering whose "Ash"'es they put in their black color interiors at Mercedes...? ;)
When they do that can they also switch touch screens from reflective gloss to nonreflective matte, and remove all chrom trim pieces that could reflect light into the drivers face?
I’m team coupe
Me too! I recently drove the E class saloon in Germany and it was Sublime!
you guys are awesome! i laughed good at the easter egg comment. gj
I don't know if I've ever ROTFL at a car review video prior to today. Piano black buttons. :D Shout out to MB for their use of matte finish wood trim!
I'd take the coupe with windows rolled down for overall looks, but the cabriolet for open air runs for at least three seasons of the year. A good friend's mom had a late '80s 300 CE and let me have a go in it just as I was learning to drive. Windows down with no B pillar and 0 - 80mph in such a linear rate of acceleration that you barely felt the speed w/o minding the speedometer.... gateway drug, that was.
Also love Jakubs "piano black" button face lol.
coupe windows down
You'd be bitchin if you couldn't hear
All day man...
So...For all you "younger" folks the think the term "cabriolet" sounds better than convertible , the historical reference goes something like this... A "convertible" is the term used to describe any 4 seater rag-top/hard top that goes up and down. The era of a "cabriolet" is for the 2 door/2 seater version of the rag-top/ hard -top version of said convertible. Not to nit-pick these very entertaining young men, but this is the correct terms to be considered for future reference. Another great review of my favorite Canadian car guys! BTW...Coupe all the time, everyday, all year long!
Thanks! I’ll be sure to do some more research and 100% clarify it next convertible vid -Yuri
Ik that if I brake without clutch that I’ll stall but what if I need to how do I avoid that. Also when I am in a space should I clutch and brake so I don’t go onto a curb and put it into neutral and pull the e brake to park or do I just brake???
That opening shot!!! :D
Unreal video guys, keep it up ! Live to see a Nissan Maxima on your show. That quilted leather though ;)
Soon
Update: manufacturers are now making gloss black button/screen/touchpads, see Porsche. You are mind readers! Great vlogs!
I was listening to a song that sounded just like the intro when I started watching this video. I didnt know if it was coming from the video or my music! Great song I must add
I for now on only trust you guys for car reviews!!
Great video guys!
I'm team coupe BTW.
Gotta love the curves of that car.
10:17 "Just think about it" 🎸Limp Bizkit - Re-Arranged
Winner!
TheStraightPipes wrong. It's obviously Think About It by The Flight of the Conchords
damnit, you beat me!
The remote opening problem is fixed by a module from mods4cars called the smarttop.
Click the remote unlock button three times to lower the roof, or lock three times to raise it.
Sick Photoshop skills on that neck scarf , they should call it the "fire strangler" after seeing your video.
Cabriolet everything down is so gangster 🔥🔥🔥
Give me the E400 coupe for these hot Texas summers. The large sunroof is enough openness for me!
Nice video as always but I guess Jakub didn‘t check out the configurater this time cause then he would have noticed that you can get the AirScarf in the Coupé too
Hey guys, Any chance of test driving the new Subaru Ascent? I'm seriously looking at this thing but there aren't really any reviews out yet. Love the show!
Cheers!
Cabriolet all day - can't wait for my 350
late to this video, but totally convertible! plus I live in california! so other then 2 months I can drive with the top down ALL the time!
love ur videos
In Australia in the summer I’d take the coupe any day. I find the summer sun too hot for cabriolet’s during the day here (I have an ND MX-5).
I'm 100% team Coupé, but I do love to have a Cabriolet in the summer though!
Porsche Panamera has that shiny black plastic surface with capacitive touch icons instead of buttons on the center stack area.....
If you get the blue top with white on the car, it looks so good with the top up!
Coupe windows down. Plus the one you drove is white, and white cars look amazing.
For this car, the soft top will appear if the rain come out of nowhere. I don't like the soft top design with the rest of the car. So top down all the way. The summer is coming and during the fall you have airscrarf. So, I choose cabriolet.
Did you talk to Merc about the top down with the keyfob issue for when you take back the car ?
they should do two knobs with screen that's default one in volume and the other in tuning, i guess, and when you press the closest one to the driver and they turn to ac controls; that way, you only have two knobs, but everything that needs knobs is covered
I love the reviews and the raw energy you guys bring when talking about cars. I feel like you are trolling the viewers regarding your obsession regarding satellite radio though. You spent hours speaking with various manufacturers to get rewinding stations? Is this real life? Can you also ask them to bring back tape decks?
Everything is real nothing is a lie
Best looking convertible - 1996-1998 ruby red Mustang GT with TAN top!!!
Love you guys!
So, how expensive does your convertible/cabriolet car have to be in order to be referred to as a “drophead” coupé?
Great video I like the coupe! But I’m interested a car called the dodge Daytona I would love to you make a review on it!!
In Europe you can put your top down and up driving up to 60 km/h. Doesn't this work in the US/Canada?
I think the key fob thing isn’t horrible, that hard press prevents it from activating in your pocket during a rainstorm.
*100% Coupé windows down*
BTW nice video
I‘m really into Mercedes‘s new designs.
Hey from Germany
Coupe Team!!!! those body lines
