I used to work for Mercedes and always felt the same way about quality. Just couldn't put my finger on it.

[@ryanjrlindsay1548]

Congrats on your wedding buddy

[@JP-io3dv]

You mention it’s got a 9-speed ZF gearbox. It’s not as Mercedes’ don’t use the ZF, they make their own where as most other brands buy in the ZF.

[@moa6324]

Done well with removing that hideous oversize splitter 🤢 looks nice now

[@patrickjm3487]

Beautiful wife and kid man you deserve some family time with your beautiful family mate!!! Any nice VW Passats TDI model do you have any of them mate don’t mind about the miles as long as it has service history with it thanks buddy enjoy your home time

If someone is averaging 29mpg, they really shouldn’t have a diesel. Shows most journeys are short and eventually they are going to have DPF issues. I have a 430D and she averages 40mpg, that’s mainly motorway with some heavy foot blasting now and then. Mercedes isn’t my thing, digital cockpit looks decent though.

[@lloydbrock2711]

I really like the way you appreciate cars for what they are Calv. Getting rid of unnecessary body kits and tints etc so the car can be as it was designed to be. Good use of the word chav too! Big congrats on tieing the knot too 🍾

[@andrehurley3404]

Not a ZF gearbox. Mercedes use their own gearboxes

[@cbrrob1670]

Looks much nicer without the skirts and splitter, just needs normal clean number plates. Such a classy car.

[@mrmcveigh]

You can’t compare that to an M5. Get an E63s and then compare.

This resonates with me I’ve typically bought BMW’s in the past but recently bought a 2019 E Class coupe based on the looks/interior only to have felt disappointed by the car compared to my previous less hi tech BMW’s

You’re a bit unfair, you haven’t tried the amg yet and you make a comparison between the m5 and the e350..the e63amg comes with way up much better materials

Shame about the convertible roof, otherwise a nice looking car.

[@santana9537]

Agree 100%. Interior visuals are banging but the quality is disappointing. Used to be obsessed with Mercedes’ since a child but the scratchy materials and hard leathers even in the modern flagships gls and s class make me wanna cry 😂

[@freddiejones4598]

Yeah Mercedes interiors have been awful for years. Look superficially nice but Terrible quality and everything creaks

Also they don’t use real leather anymore accept on their proper 63 amg’s. It’s plastic

Are the 09 E classes any better

[@santana9537]

@@neilmurphy845 well they are an older generation but I reckon they’re a lot closer to a ‘proper’ Mercedes’. 2015 onwards is when I think they initially started to lose it

[@locky1227]

The E class definitely has something over the C class (as it should) but one interesting fact it’s hardly any bigger but just seems to have more road presence - beautiful car in my opinion and l love the mat ( 😁not official term) finish of the wood affect - I don’t do the mileage to get the benefit from a diesel I just wish Mercedes did a E63 coupe !

Why don’t you Review Ricky’s M3 touring!! It’s a real beast of a car!!

[@RSTurbo50]

Im so with you on the Mercedes thing. I cant quite put my finger on it either. Iv had countless Mercedes cars over the years including an E350 CDI Coupe, a C55 AMG and more recently a C63 AMG W204 model.....my issue was that each Mercedes I have had has had issues. My BMW's on the otherhand have all been super reliable. I currently have a BMW M235i and that thing is a real hoot.....although Mercedes AMG/AMG Line cars look great, for me the way they drive, the road presence, the excitement that comes from driving them is not on par with a BMW.......

[@suhail1200]

I think it's preference n depends which dealers u go to. There will be good and bad for every company. For me it's the opposite, every Merc I had was flawless no issues however slight small problems with bmw.

[@zak6931]

@@suhail1200 there’s a reason merc are used for taxis over BMW’s and Audi’s-far more reliable if serviced and looked after.

[@dreamcrusher112]

Calv love the videos. Would you chose this merc over a bmw 435d cabriolet that you did a video some years ago.

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

Thanks mate. Yea I’d deffo rather have this over a 435d cab. I’d say this car is more comparable to a 6 series in the bmw range.

All 2019' comes with the fullscreen dash. Mercedes is light years a ahead of BMW and the rest of the market with tech, looks and design. But they are not drivers cars they are classy/luxury cruisers. BMW's are a better driving machine, as they state themselves but that comes with a very outdated design Insde and out.
