  3. 2016 Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe (10/16 - )

    2016 Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe (10/16 - )

    Having previously had three Mercedes, I thought I'd have a change and bought a Jaguar XE-S 3.0 Supercharged in May 2016. Big mistake! It suffered constant problems and crashing of its InControl Touch Pro infotainment so I legally rejected it. I replaced it with a C43 Coupe in Obsidian black with...

    Jaguar XE-S 3.0 Supercharged (05/16 - 09/16)

    After feeling the E400 Cab. was a bit too "blingy", I thought I'd have a change to Jaguar. The British Racing Green XE-S with 20" alloys was achingly pretty but I legally rejected it due to constant problems with its upgraded InControl Touch Pro infotainment - regular black screen crashes; not...

    Most reliable car you ever had

    My last C350 (petrol) Sport was excellent - not a single problem in three years ( not even a blown bulb). Similarly, an '07 Volvo T5 was completely problem free.

    Driving points/ban 100+mph on motorway

    I got caught at 115mph on my Yamaha R1 bike a few years ago but policemen said I wasn't being dangerous and issued a £60 fine and 3pts. They advised me to keep a better eye on my mirrors if I was going to carry on doing those speeds!!

    E400 AMG Sport Plus Cabriolet -- "good value"

    My old 2012 C350 would do 35-36mpg on a run and did an average of 28mpg over 30K miles. The E400 has only done 1000 miles from new so engine probably a bit tight; however it is struggling to get to 29-30mpg on a run and so far done an overall average (over the 1000 miles) of 23mpg. I live a mile...

    E400 Coupe or Cab

    I bought an E400 Cabrio to replace a 2012 C350 (petrol); same 3.5 litre engine but now turbocharged. Old C350 engine sounded awesome when revved... Real strident exhaust sound. Turbos have muted the E400 engine much too much. Harman Kardon HiFi was superb in C-Class but really muffled with boomy...

    61plate wheel alignment probs

    Every one of the three Mercs I've had do it. Don't listen to the lie that the dealer staff actually seem to believe about it being a "safety" feature! It's basically because Mercedes set up their suspension (and steering wheel angle - that's another story!) to suit the camber of continental...

    VW lying about 'cleaned diesel'...

    Tell me about it! When it came to replace my 2012 C350 (petrol) the only 6-cyl petrols available and that I could afford to buy were BMW 335i/435i, Jaguar XE-S and (what I went for) the E400 Cabrio... Can't wait for all the sheep who believed the hype about and bought (actually) inherently...

    VW lying about 'cleaned diesel'...

    Diesels are an inherently inferior technology; completely hopeless power without a turbo (petrols don't need a turbo) and now proven to be polluting lumps too.

    VW lying about 'cleaned diesel'...

    They just sound so horrible compared to petrol, even multi-cylinder versions! I'll stick with my 3.5litre petrol!!

    VW lying about 'cleaned diesel'...

    Everyone lapped up the scientific hype about diesels being better (I never believed it of course) to the extent that the then Labour government even introduced tax incentives to encourage all the sheep to buy the wretched things! The next stage will be, finally, that it is scientifically...

    Connecting the car to the Internet

    I tried to register my 2015 E400 Cabriolet with MercedesME and the website said the car was already registered to someone else! Still waiting for dealer to investigate and advise... I've never been able to connect either my previous C350 or new car to the Internet via my, admittedly old, iPhone 5...

    Frustrating!! Wash Dry Shut Boot Wet Again

    Maybe the E Class saloon is better in this respect than the Cabriolet!

    VW lying about 'cleaned diesel'...

    I've always maintained that diesel engines are hateful devices devoid of any performance (unless turbocharged - petrols don't need this lifeline) and couldn't understand why so many people became sheep and followed EU "persuasion" to believe the lies that diesels are better for the environment...

    Frustrating!! Wash Dry Shut Boot Wet Again

    I am getting this from my brand-new 2015 E400 Cabriolet - water cascades out from locking catch and drips down into the plastic scuff plate and sometimes directly onto the boot carpet...

    Harman Kardon - worthwhile upgrade?

    The Harman Kardon system in my last 2012 C350 was superb but the version in my new E400 Cabriolet is markedly worse. No where near as clear, bass is "woolly" and distorts at volumes that would never have done so in the C-Class.
