Forza Horizon 5 - Mercedes E55 AMG Wagon, An Exquisite Estate Car For A-Class!

[@C1-Runner]

Seems like we're getting Estate cars in Forza again, always happy to see more of these get featured in FH5. 🙂

[@Hi_Im_Jay1020]

We like wagon over here 😊

Estates FTW 🗣

LoL the van at 13:52

@@Jokero_YT "You can't park there Sir" 😅

[@Ti-Sonic]

Kept mine in A-Class too, might need to retune it proprely but i had a blast using it so far, went for a little Brabus-like treatement. Also 12:06 : "oh, i hope nothing bad will happen- *HOLY MACARONI* " Legit, i didn't knew that shortcut at all, got used to braking at the right moment, but holy, never expected that racing line !

[@Jokero_YT]

Watch, they place 2 large rocks there in the next update. :D

[@C1-Runner]

@@Ti-Sonic It's quite alright in A-Class, a bit tail happy sometimes but still fun to drive in my opinion. 👍 As for that racing line it's one Rivals drivers use so you don't have to do any braking. There's a similar one in Coast Run and Costa Rocosa*.

[@jeanels7425]

Crazy how fast it goes for A class 🤯

[@C1-Runner]

It does actually have a high top speed but it does take a while to warm up. 😅

[@D0G_CN]

that car did way better then i would have thought, superb driving by you as usual 👍

[@C1-Runner]

Thank you for the nice comments as always! It's a very understeery but tail happy car, still does perform well I feel.

[@MyogiKuroi]

Great driving as always! I tried a B-class purist tune but it was really slow, A-class suits the car much better for sure. Very pleased to see an estate in the Festival Playlist!

[@Lada-cq2lr]

A class fits better this car, but overall it's the only Estate that I enjoyed the most, I love that V8 Kompressor

[@C1-Runner]

Thank you for the nice comment! I was initially going to use B-Class as well but switched to A-Class afterwards. It works okay in A-Class, might be a bit understeery but still very much usable.

[@C1-Runner]

@@Lada-cq2lr We'll have to wait and see how the Cadillac fairs as well, kind of excited for that too.

[@Lada-cq2lr]

@@C1-Runner Same and if the Cadillac will actually be good, I call this a good early Christmas gift for myself

[@C1-Runner]

@@Lada-cq2lr It feels okay to drive in the trial but we'll see how it fares once it releases. I'm hoping it will be good.

[@kspectre21]

I was really looking forward to this one, when I heard it was scanned from the same collection as the AMG Hammer Wagon I was wondering if we'd see it or if it was just destined for the Dev Build. Really fun to drive as well, I really like the style of this era of Mercedes with the twin rounded headlights.

[@C1-Runner]

I actually like this generation of Mercedes models alongside the 500E and the EVO, when I think of Mercedes these cars springs to mind. I'm hoping they'll add the sedan/coupe version at some stage.

[@kspectre21]

@@C1-Runner I'd love to see one of the E400 / E420 CDI sedans with the big diesel V8s, something very different but would also be decently quick even though it's not an AMG. Make for a nice B Class option potentially.

[@C1-Runner]

@@kspectre21 I think I'd be happy with any older Mercedes cars really. I wouldn't mind a Koenig Specials Mercedes or another tuning company being featured.

[@bryce_drip]

Nice racing, do you play on keyboard or controller?

[@VEX_____YT]

I know this might be lucky, but have you ever tried MG #20 MG6 ?

[@C1-Runner]

@@VEX_____YT If you mean the TC version then yes I have, it's more of a technical track car for A-Class. You can engine swap a V8 in it for it to be a bit more competitive, the stock engine isn't really powerful sadly.

[@Lada-cq2lr]

0:29 Why does it always happen? 😢

[@C1-Runner]

A tale as old as time, traffic spawning on the racing line and appearing out of nowhere 😐

[@Lada-cq2lr]

Yeah, to this point, it is simply RNG whenever you take these "blind" turns, hoping a traffic car won't "Surprise madafaka!" you outta nowhere.

[@C1-Runner]

@@Lada-cq2lr RNG is a good way to put it lol, not to mention traffic cars left by other players. Those are the worst. 🤣

[@galenpedersen4755]

I hate that the best version of this car I found(by far) is A dirt with all the swaps and ugly aero.

[@C1-Runner]

I'm not really a fan of dirt racing so I opted for Road Racing instead, I feel it still does okay despite it being a bit understeery. It will obviously benefit from having aero but I despise Forza Aero with a passion lol.

[@Lada-cq2lr]

Aren't we all? This is why I principally make Purist builds [Any purist enjoyer here?]

[@C1-Runner]

@@Lada-cq2lr Stock engines may be weaker in this game but I prefer having them over engine swaps. Don't like hearing the same V8 or V12 over and over again lol.

[@galenpedersen4755]

​@C1-Runner If performance gap too big I will use engine swap. But I try to use stock engine if any way possible.

[@galenpedersen4755]

​@Lada-cq2lr I prefer purist tunes, what do you consider to be requirements for purist tunes? For me, no swaps or appearance mods. I am fine with transmission upgrade as long as it has same number of gears as factory gearbox.
