13:44 The CLE 450 is exactly what you are looking for Thomas. Especially if you can get it in avantgarde trim. Then it looks more normal, doesnt have the fancy AMG steering and other bits, can be had with wood and even a white colored interior but still retains the 6 cylinder with around 380hp. As a whole its dialed down to more normalcy without the shitty 4 cylinder found in the CLE 300 or the C-class. It is the perfect car in the CLE line-up and it needs a review of its own with a comparison of sorts to the CLE 53

@@mks1702 IMHO white interiors were considered gaudy until Tesla made them part of their brand. I still think they look tacky and cheap (particularly the plastic “leather” in Teslas). A tan or similar colour on the other hand looks super premium to me - think Bentley and Porsche interiors. Even Pagani does a really nice light brown interior. They are “10x more premium” than most cars on the road.

@@PapiAndrey I’ll understand someday? The irony of your statement is that a white interior is a current trend created by Tesla. And like all trends it will pass. So the “someday” that you refer to will be a time in a the future when you follow some other trend and decide that you don’t like white interiors anymore. Meanwhile the classic interior colours will look good forever. Try not be to a slave to trends and what other people think 👍

It really came into its own in that form. A top down, mile-crunching thing of beauty with a sophisticated and effortless drivetrain.

I think this car is almost perfect. As a powerful GT sports car to drive with across Europe. Sporty for 7/10 driving in the corners and riding the boost from the inline 6 engine. The rest of the time it's supple and nice like an e-class that just looks great. If you dont need to bring a lot of stuff or people / children the this seems pretty perfect. Cruising in a pretty car with excellent equipment that sounds great with well damped suspension.

Dunno guys, its a nice GT coupe option from Merc. Somewhere in between low end cla45s and top end gt63s. It's heavy, comfy, long trip runner for every weather and road conditions out there yet classy to find the best hotel and restaurant in that town that you would like to go by a car trip. Yet, there still a lot of fun in that place, so you can test your skills at the track, lightly, learn something new about car and come back home with your kids that you took from the school. It's really like a Dodge Challenger GT in a lot of ways. And its not that expensive, so I think its a good place you can be in.

I love my 2018 C43 coupe 3.0 V6 BiTurbo, not too much electronic crap, performance exhaust nothing pumped in, 4.5s to 100km/h, just love it. Keeping it until I can afford an LC500 coupe. Very happy with my purchase.

fun fact: the reason the door feels so heavy is because Mercedes switched to steel doors for the lower end cars, so yeah, you can look forward to winter when the doors will rust away in a few weeks

It’s beautiful in photos. Then I drove it. Sure it had fast acceleration but it felt heavy and bloated. The slab of a dashboard didn’t help me feel connected with the road. Then I drove the CLA45s. It felt light and nimble and was faster than the CLE53.

I feel like the elephant in the room is how Mercedes is doing AMG like BMW has come to do M…everything gets the visual fan fare but the dynamics fail to follow suit. Because if you want that, you have to pony up to the next price category. You guys are great - cheers!
@YelCan
@YelCan 3 ай бұрын
Exactly. Engineering and performance standouts gave the values to the brand, but now we have cues without the standouts. Mercedes has made AMG into a cloak rather than a dagger. It’s all visual cues and just enough car to sell to those who want the brand more than what it stood for. The hood badge, as Thomas experienced it, is perfect: branding with the life drained away. The car - listen up, James! - is a cenotaph: overdone signifier with little - or here just enough to sell - signified. A not really car for not really drivers.

0:31 their sedan/coupe lineup was a mess though. C-class, c-class coupe, CL class, CLE, cle class coupe, CLS .... Repeat for E, S, and A (RIP) classes. Some of the names also don't match up with the "class" (c, e, s) that the vehicle implies it's based on engineering wise.

The interior is fine as it is! You don't need to have one of the full-fat signed AMG models to enjoy the AMG interior. I rented a 4-door CLA 200 when I visited the UK 3 weeks ago, which was specced with the optional "AMG Packet". This packet includes the stitched alcantara interior, the AMG steering wheel, sportier seats etc. It did not have the carbon interior decoration obviously, but in general it was similar to the CLE 53 tested here. Contrary to what Thomas says, in my opinion the AMG interior felt really nice even in a car with a 1300 cc engine.

One thing to note, the rear interior is not as wide as the outgoing E53. But the longer chassis is complemented by 4 wheel steering. Cheaper than E53 at least AND you have launch control. Other details this has is the carbon steering wheel that we couldn’t get on E53, as well as the embossed Affalterbach logo on headrest.

Combined power 455hp 523 ft lbs tq. You can put it in polestar mode and charge mode and essentially not lose your electric range and have full power all the time. Pretty cool……… for a Volvo lol
