Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! CLE or 4 Series?

[@Mylifeislegendary836.]

CLE is the class leader and miles better than 4 series

[@shaunmiller3342]

Definitely the CLE

[@nwilkerson2365]

I recently sat in that red cle interior. It is a showstopper in real life.

[@amroelnour]

Totally agree, looks much much better in real life 🔥

[@hishamhassan6426]

On scale of 1-10, would please rate the Build quality u felt when u sat there? Thanx in advance

[@amroelnour]

@@hishamhassan6426 its a 10 for me not gonna lie. I actually replaced my 2021 e coupe with a black night package and red interior and im loving it so far

[@hishamhassan6426]

@@amroelnour WoW!!! I don’t know U and yet i’m soo happy for U!!! Congrats buddy!!!

I like the way this guy brings all the info without unnecessary drama, very genuine and mature.

[@mr.raffaello8516]

Such a great looking car

[@joeb9763]

Nice job. Beautiful styling, I agree base engine is nice in my SUV but that definitely needs more power. I purchased a BMW 240i x drive which I thought was more sporty. Fantastic review.

[@nqobilemahlaba2230]

Great car that also looks epic. I hope this car has a great built quality with good materials unlike the c class. I hope there aren't any creeks and rattles like the C Class. Just above 70k for that car.... I'd rather take that 70k and put it in the current Audi S5 4 door sports back. I feel like I'd be getting more car for my money if I choose that vehicle. But that's just my opinion. Anyways enjoy and epic video

[@JulesDaGG]

First it was planned to bring a CLE63 SE Performance with a 2.0l 4 cylinder. Now it's planned to bring a CLE63 with the 4.0l V8, but much later, maybe in 2-3 years.

[@findtruth5329]

you make great content by the way! like your videos, shooting and voice!

[@dwnshft]

Thanks 🙏

[@dearcoolz]

I think the bmw 4 series coupe would be a better comparison here.

[@zooameba6386]

The seat area is the same size as in the C coupe and the doors are also the same size as in the C coupe

[@blu_is500]

I think the best combo (if possible) would be to get the CLE450 with the AMG appearance package. The car is too bland looking otherwise and I think the CLE53 would be too much exhaust-wise. Thanks for posting!

[@zooameba6386]

did you see the hole in the armature above the steering wheel, ugly as if it wasn't finished

[@user-yk1bp3rq8p]

Over 50k for a 4 cylinder 👁️👄👁️

[@zooameba6386]

Year 2024 NO sequential turn signals....Hey Mercedes Lights are very boring and back windows don't GO DOWN. I'm owner C coupe 2018 and this is more replica... they put together C and E class and they made C class again for double price. Have a nice day from Europe

[@Jdnicks00]

CLE means a C-class car with E-class price.

[@emmo119]

ngl i can't get passed the center screen. It cannibalizes the entire interior in my opinion and immediately make this a lease machine. I couldn't imagine owning this long term... maybe if the cle63 ends up being a v8 -- but even then at that price there's better options. A used w205 c63 is a significantly better deal imo.

[@findtruth5329]

why not the AMG?

[@findtruth5329]

ah, you did mention it! I was goin to buy the AMG GT63 but it's my first Merc so I said I'll buy the AMG CLE first. Or Id take your input lol any car, really. finally, money kind of not an issue.

[@dwnshft]

@@findtruth5329 if money not an issue then I’d get an AMG with the V8. The 53s are good but the 63s are AMAZING! Even the SL55 and GT55 with the V8s are full of character and theater

[@findtruth5329]

@@dwnshft 100%. The AMG GT63 is definitely the way to go.
