Is The Mercedes E53 AMG Coupe an RS5 Killer? | The Most Subtle AMG.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Even though the engine note is somewhat artificial in the M340i and Supra, a part of me prefers the sounds those cars make over the E53 AMG... What do you think?! Thanks for watching!! 650hp Mk4 Supra video coming soon :D

[@Foregrlz]

This E53 amg coupe OR the G82/G22 M4 competition coupe/M440i coupe? Not a big difference in price ; performance leans towards BMW.....I'd assume luxury leans Benz ......

I have this car in matte blue and I love it. It’s my first AMG and it’s perfect for me. It’s not too flashy but will definitely turn heads. I get compliments all the time. I live in Los Angeles so I don’t get to drive it fast very often but it’s super easy to hit 110mph if I’m not careful. It’s the perfect balance of being able to drive fast when I want but being really comfortable if I’m in traffic, especially with driver assist. My only complaint is the trunk is kinda small. I can’t fit my golf clubs in it as easily as I could in my Honda Accord coupe. I’m curious to drive a V8 AMG, I originally ordered a fully loaded C63S but with the chip shortage it was delayed almost 9 months. So I ended up getting the E53. Very happy with my purchase.

[@Foregrlz]

So do you use the fold down rear seats to get more room for your sticks?

[@jfull1914]

@@Foregrlzno that’s not necessary. They fit horizontally in the trunk with my main golf bags. But if I had a big tour bag or multiple golf bags, I’d probably have to fold down the seats.

lets be honest , the real reason we buy AMG isnt for the performance its for that sexy panamericana grille lol

[@ralphgascon7337]

I always thought the RS5 is more of a c63 coupe rival

[@wuzumaki]

You are correct.

[@makhuramokoka8782]

You are right. E55 should be competing with S5.

[@tlotlisomoswane]

@@makhuramokoka8782 rather the c43 amg coupe. So the S5 with the c43 amg. A5 competes with the c class coupes and 4 series. The E class competes with the A6 and 5 series

The best all around sedan "it seems". Good mileage (29 on the highway), great interior, good if not great performance and decent pricing. Not a v8, doesn't sound like one and isn't a "real" AMG (no handcrafted engine). But this car is the definition of "Jack of all trades". Cruising, some pulls, comfy interiors and good mpg.

[@InnerSect]

i had two e coupes, both were traded for two better cls's. The CLS is the ultimate choice under the S class. the e was great with the pano roof BUT the drive isnt the same as a cls. Both equally comfortable suspension wise, but the CLS has less road noise inside and better driving on the freeway.

[@v12-s65]

The E-Class is one class above an A5. The RS5 is quicker and more hardcore no doubt. But that's not the matter of this GT.

[@worldsfirstlol]

As far as i know its a 9G TCT gearbox NOT a 9G MCT!!! Unless its different for the US, Canadian market. In Europe the 63 and 63S has the MCT. Personally i drive an E53 Coupe too and i can def tell its a TCT not very fast and sometimes confused! It would have the launch mode if its an MCT!!!

Rs5 killer are the M4 comp and c63 s coupe, this is e segment platform it goes against the bmw 8 series coupe.

[@mariosshiakallis3521]

S class is against the 8 series, this would be more the 6 series

[@stefanmolnar4345]

@@mariosshiakallis3521 S class coupe is derivated from the s clas platform, 8 series is on a 5 series platform so no this is directly against the 8 series.

[@mariosshiakallis3521]

@@stefanmolnar4345 The e63s competes against the M5, in general the 5 series and the E class are direct competitors. Since the 5 series can not be a coupe, you move up to the 6 series. This is also seen with the c63 coupe and M4 and c63 sedan and M3

[@stefanmolnar4345]

@@mariosshiakallis3521 Bmw does not have a 6 series coupe anymore, the 8 series is ona. 5 platform its the direct competitor

[@jinlin1720]

How comfortable is this one compared with its non amg counterparts? In long distance driving

[@JayeBass]

10 HP doesnt make a .3 difference in the 0-60. It's the 10HP and 500lbs of weight savings. The e coupe is heavier than a cls

[@highgrade18]

AUDI RS5 is better looking from the outside but the inside of the Mercedes interior is better combine together you've got a "Meaudi"

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Agreed. The RS5 undoubtedly is a better looking car.

[@QuanPham-uq7ml]

NO E53 can beat any RS cars!

[@jwanilpatel3223]

In your dreams

[@mala6238]

The E-class is the counterpart to A6/A7 of Audi, not the A5.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

As a whole, that could absolutely be said (E-Class to S6/RS6). The E53 AMG and RS5 specifically though both have a starting MSRP within a couple thousand $$, are both coupes and have turbocharged 6-cylinders putting down similar HP. The E53 AMG could also go up against the Audi S6, however the S6 isn't available as a coupe, neither is the RS6 or S7/RS7. On paper and in practice the RS5 and E53 AMG go head to head almost perfectly.

[@sasothestrategizer]

@@mala6238 I agree with you. This guy is reaching a bit with his logic. I own a 2018 A5 and I’ve test driven a E-Class coupe and the Benz is bigger in every dimension. Price wise I can see something, but sheer size is something else.
