2017 Mercedes-Benz E300 - Phil's Morning Drive S1E2

[@t3dlifestyle650]

I absolutely love my 2018 Mercedes Benz E300! It turns heads, its a thrill to drive and I feel safe on the road with! I have owned more than a few of the German 3 (Audi A4 & A6, BMW 3, 5 & 7 series, Mercedes e320) and by far, my E300 is my favorite. I know this video was done years ago, but I enjoyed it!

Excellent review. I just purchased this exact car in the exact same color scheme with the P2 and panorama. I also opted for the 19' AMG rim. Pretty much exactly what you described to do. I agreed with everything you said. Thanks for posting this and showing how the options work. It is far superior to other video testimonials.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Thanks for the complements. I hope you enjoy the car.

[@zunaidkajee4540]

great review I live in south Africa and picked up my new 220d just yesterday. people might not realise how importance the safety features are. I have hearing loss of 80% because of a car accident and had to go for cochlea implant. if this tech was available that could have saved my hearing loss. anyway I only drove 10km from my dealer to my house and it was one of the best 10km I have driven. I sold my 2016 7 series to buy this and so far this seems far superior.

[@jasonomnia9295]

Zunaid Kajee Sorry to hear about your hearing loss, and how's the new car

[@MohammedAli-tb7zc]

here in Australia, they come heavily optioned as standard which means they are pricey. an E200 will cost 98k AUD driveway although it has the driver assistance stuff, 360 degree camera, the vision package and the list goes on

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

That's interesting. I always find it interesting what companies decide to offer as standard features in different countries. Thanks for watching.

[@anthonycooper598]

Nice option and choice to consider with the safety features and luxury items that are available in the car world. With gas prices creeping towards the price of steak prices. It's definitely at the top of my list. My wife just got new glasses so with self parking options. I won't see or hear I made a boo-boo today. I'm in a C class now. The S class is out of range for my budget. At 60 it's about where I'd feel okay with at my age. I have no one to impress but love the safety features. 6/19/18

Great review! Well put together! Keep it up son

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Thanks very much!

[@DJaquithFL]

Nice review. If you really want to showcase ant car you might want to consider a loaded version. Example this Mercedes lacks the Premium 3 Package with a lot of the cool stuff offered by Mercedes.

[@PedroKarsan]

great video. does the parking assist come standard?

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

On the E300 it comes as a stand alone option for $1050 or as part of the Premium 1 package which is $3950 but includes a long list of features.

[@tknight7]

What a great video and thanks for sharing this with us.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Thanks Tommy! I appreciate the kind words. We have two new episodes in production right now which will be out very soon.

You're welcome Phil. Does the Premium 2 E-300 have Front End Collision Prevention, Hill Hold, Adaptive Radar Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist/Prevention, Blind Spot Assist, Panoramic Sunroof, Cross Traffic Alert? I'm more into the Safety Features vs Horsepower.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Is the lighting a paid feature? I cannot find it when I build an E300

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Nope it's a standard feature on the E300. You'll find it listed as 64-color LED ambient lighting.

[@DannyPorsche]

Phil's Morning Drive great. Thank you.

[@samsonokoro5036]

Is the ride smoother and more comfortable than a Lexus ES 350 2016/17? I have driven the older model(s) E Classes and they weren't as smooth or as comfortable as the previous Lexus ES 350's.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

That's a great question Samson. It's pretty tough to beat the smoothness of a Lexus model. However, if you choose the air body control option on the E-class it provides a very comfortable ride. Both cars are great and hard to choose between. Thanks for watching. I hope this helps.

[@samsonokoro5036]

Thanks bro much appreciated

[@MalamIbnMalam]

Samson Okoro, The E-class though is kind of in its' own separate class of mid-size luxury since it's FWD. I would say that the Lexus GS competes directly with this car.

Which variant is this?

[@rahulsreekumar_]

where are you from?nice review.thanks.how much it costs for your model?

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Hi Rahul, I'm from the U.S. and thanks for the complement. The specific model I'm driving starts at $54,650. It has all wheel drive as standard the two wheel model drops the price by $2,500. The model I'm driving also has the Premium 1 Package plus a few individual options like metallic paint. The total was right around $60,000. Hope this helps you.

[@rahulsreekumar_]

Phil's Morning Drive :Thankyou phill.how much it cost for premium 3 package with 20" wheels?

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

So an E300 4Matic with just the Premium 3 package and 20" wheels will cost $70,995. The only 20" wheels that Mercedes offers are as an accessory through your dealer. There are two wheel styles that Mercedes offers both costing right around $1700 as an option but that does not include tires. The factory standard wheels are 18" you can choose 17" or 19" directly from the factory. Obviously you could also go with a non Mercedes wheel from a third party as well. A complete fully loaded E300 4Matic with the Premium 3 package the 20" Mercedes Accessory wheels and every other option comes to $84,354.

[@pbiceodan]

So you said Cons, and you did not point any out other then maybe it's very expensive to buy, but it's also very expensive to maintain?

[@topflightmechanic8692]

Thanks

[@isaiahdeshazier1520]

nice video!

[@didinos]

It would be very interesting (to me at least..) what the limits of the automatic parking are. it would be cool to watch a demonstration video in a how tight of a space can the car park itself. If you know your car, you can fit it in very tight spaces (going back and forth 5,6 times) what about the autopark? maybe it is not that important since someone who spent $ on a new Merc would probably park it in a garage, but when I buy a used one 10 years from now i'd like to know if it would fit in a narrow space :)

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

I agree that would be interesting. I know the car determines whether or not it can fit before it allows you to perform the automatic function but I don't know what the tightest space it can get in is in terms of dimensions.

Is it reliable? Specially in extremely hot weather like middleeast

[@ryanvegaahadi]

I'm sure it would be. Different car companies make specific cars for specific regions. I would call the Mercedes Dealer Ship and see.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

I agree with Ryan's comment. But I also know that Mercedes reliability has gotten even better over the last few years and I can't imagine you having a problem as it would relate to extreme hot weather. I would recommend the cooled seats though. Thanks for watching.

[@nikobellic1233]

thank you good sir, seriously considering buying a Mercedes but at the same time I'm looking at Lexus which very much reliable and perfect for Middle East extreme hot weather. I def need that comment so thanks again

[@nikkakillss]

[@rahulsreekumar_]

Thankyou sir.

[@ext230]

If this was a premium one package it wouldn’t have the rapid heating seats. Those came in the premium two package.

[@heyvicvicvictoria]

So people ask you for car recommendations all the time, you say? Would you happen to know if there is a compact suv/large hatchback-with-ground-clearance-above-about-6in? with fold flat seats for cargo area, heated steering wheel&seats, and Manual transmission?

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

My first question to you is do you live in the U.S.? If so off the top of my head the car that best fits that description is a Mini Countryman. It has everything on your list except the heated steering wheel. It has 6.3 inches of ground clearance and you can fold the seats down flat. I would recommend ordering the bench seat and the flat load floor to accomplish this. Also, several other compact SUV/hatchbacks have a manual transmission but it's on the bare bones model which means no heated seats or steering wheel. I'm not sure why Mini doesn't offer a heated steering wheel to be honest. I'll keep doing some research and I hope this helps. Thanks for watching my show.

In the market after 10 years and drove 3 different Mercedes yesterday. Wow great cars.... except one major negative. The center rear seat... what engineer can't seem to figure out how to do a center rear seat? We need 5 comfortable seats.... don't get it in any of the Mercedes we drove, nor any of the other top selling 'luxury' cars. Sad. My 2007 4Runner Limited Edition has far more comfort in this position. My parents Oldsmobile of the 70's was better by far and my grandparents Cadillac of the 60's even better. Dump the little car.

[@AtlanticPicture]

9:22 and how is the Cooled / Ventilated seat option on that $61000 car? You leave the car outside on a hot day and the leather/ette is melting.. What this has over most of the (size) competition is the badge, the prestige. I like the comfort, the interior is nice, the seats are awesome. The exterior should be more refined and less like a C and they should add ventilated seats to every car that has heated seats. Also spare tire should be basic. This '17 has a jack inside, but no tire, or place for a tire if you buy one. Run flats are heavier, way more expensive, and run worse as normal tires. Good luck going on a longer trip far from a dealer, and having a flat at night in a remote place.. That's right there is way more anxiety than range would give you in a Tesla - what you're aware of every minute.
