Mercedes E Class CoupeApril 2009
Recommended.
This classy, elegant and roomy coupe is good value. The models with four-cylinder engines handle well, but the E500 V8 is disappointing.

I own an E Class Coupe 250CDI Sport Auto. This would have been one of the best cars you could wish to own. Period. It is such a shame that these cars are failing due to faulty fuel injectors, mine at 5000 miles. I wish that Mercedes had checked these injectors during the "most extensive testing ever"

I got a lemon in the form of my CLK Diesel Auto. This car made more visits to the dealership than my previous 2 Mercs put together and had fatal flaws in the braking. Three years later, it is still patchy. It carries the 3d LED cluster on the boot-lid.The gear shifter came lose, window jamming, the list goes on! THIS CAR IS STILL SHY OF 60K MILES! I can understand the above owner's concern. I test drove the E-coupe and it feels right. It is not true that it is based on E- class. It is a clone between C and E. Apart from Glasgow Mercedes, the service is appalling. If they don't make reliable cars, the least Daimler Benz could do is to listen to customers.

Shame about the injectors one the e class 350 diesel - they went at 9,000miles having previously been 'reprogrammed' 2 weeks earlier. The front central arm / storage box is clumsy and strangely configured. Excellent sound system. Shame there is no rear central arm rest.

Have the e class 350CDI sport. Been excellent. No problems whatsoever and the Command sat nav is also v good. There have been problems with the 250cdi diesel engines which I believe has been resolved now.

I changed my Lexus IS250 for the E250 CGI Coupe Sport as soon as it became available here (Thailand). Two months on, I have to say I am delighted with my choice. I regularly drive 600 mile journeys and the Merc is every bit as good as the Lexus. Comfort is good, road noise is there from the 18" wheels, but performance is adequate. By the way, my car cost £105,000 here due to 200% import duty. Think yourselves lucky in the UK to have cheap cars available!

I left a comment on here in March, just after my cars injectors failed. After a year and 10000 mls, I now think this is an excellent car, early injector faults aside. If you are looking for this type of car. I think this is the best of the bunch and something of a bargin when you look at the standard spec. It is a pleasure to own.

Have been driving a manual E 250cdi cabrio sport and I am truly amazed at how this thing moves and handles like a sports car but returns nearly 50mpg and shows only 2000rpm @ 90mph in 6th gear!!!! It is truly an astounding piece of engineering! OK it`s not a Porsche but man o man it`s good!! A bit short geared and you have to move up the box quickly to make the most of it whilst accelerating, but it`s the overtaking mid-range that`s good and it pulls strongly even in the high gears.

I have owned an E250 cdi now for 2 years, like everyone else I experienced the problem with the injectors after about 3000 miles. I have again experienced The same problem this evening after another 41,000 miles! I am hearing rumours that Mercedes Benz knew that the replacement injectors two years ago were only going to last approx 38,000 miles. But before this problem happened they were hoping to have a recall to change all the injectors but they expired! I have been one of three unlucky owners experiencing this problem forth second time, is anyone esle aware of this issue?

I have owned my E350 cdi for a year now and still enjoy driving it. Yes its no Porsche, but comfort and class beats neck breaking acceleration and I really enjoy the options of flappy paddles or auto if I am feeling lazy. Getting an average 40 miles to the galleon which I think is good for a 3 litre car that really goes! I am sure I made the better choice as was looking at BMW coupe to start with. My Mercedes coupe is everything I need, a cruiser for the motorway and has all the gadgets you need, particularly the heated seats in this weather.
