In another fun and informative TFLcar review we drive the latest Mercedes-Benz E-Class convertible to the West coast of the U.S.A just outside of Portland Oregon. So how does the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E550 Cabriolet drive with the top down when the sun is shinning? Check out this first drive review as Roman gets to flog the new convertible through the tree-lined streets of the Western Oregon.

congrats FLC for being the first review on youtube of this model!

@ADMG 9 лет назад

hahaha love Roman´s reactions! Well, anyone would react like this driving one of those.

@bneyens 11 лет назад

Thanks Roman, nice video

@Lucascatozza 11 лет назад

U have good reviews , thanks

@JOPBEAR 11 лет назад

Hey are you guys going to do a full review of the the 2014 cts?

@snuggles03 5 лет назад

Why didn’t you deploy the air cap feature?

@GRAFHC 11 лет назад

Hahaha... I like Javier, very good sense of humor. Nice addition to the video. Lucked out with a good partner on this review.

@Narrowcros 11 лет назад

Yah I was thinking the same thing, nowadays most MB V8s almost make 400, so what are the turbos doing. Week V8 it seems

@venom5809 11 лет назад

Javier is cool as hell.

@rare6499 11 лет назад

Great video Roman. Nice car, subtle, powerful, classy. Very nice, even if it is expensive. As the guy below said, you could have an AMG C class, but this is aimed at a different market. Not everyone wants a car that's tuned and set up like an S5 or an AMG.

@jmp4thbenz 10 лет назад

I love it

@JDRVP 6 лет назад

Rentech dynoed the e550 @435 hp and over 500ftlbs of torque. MBZ is always conservative in it's performance data.

@76carmel 11 лет назад

Roman -- is it me or have auto manufacturers enjoy going out to Oregon for their press releases?

@Sergio-rv5ei 11 лет назад

You guys should make a video of the 2014 lexus is 350

@Narrowcros 11 лет назад

I agree with you with the torgue figures and dont get me wrong that is a great thing. I know whats going on here the same engine is in the AMG model and yet it makes quite a lot more HP

@anwaarsamai 11 лет назад

Can u guys at the Fast Lane Car do a video with a Kia Sportage, Toyota Rav4 2013, Nissan Qashqai and a Mazda CX - 5? I think it might be a super review .

@SpazzyWombat27 11 лет назад

Do they have an AMG cabrio?

@robseibertgulfcoastrealest3243 3 года назад

At what age and mileage in an E class convertible is it the sweet spot to purchase used, daily drive 12-15k per year for two years, then sell with respectable value and reliability remaining on the car? E350, E400, E550

@Kdee105 2 года назад

I bought a ‘14 E550 over a year ago for 17k at 102k I thought the miles were a little too high, but it looked good in the photos so I flew out to look at the car anyway and let me tell you man I was blown away by how well it was maintained they could’ve told me it had 20k miles I would’ve believed them. They had all the documents of when the car was serviced by Mercedes only which was consistent pattern. Test drove it I was sold still don’t regret buying with that many miles. The car has held up very well since I bought it, not a check engine light at all. The cabriolets are more expensive than the coupes and it depends on the options the car has a low optioned one with about 40 - 60k miles I wouldn’t pay anymore than 30k. But a high optioned E550 can still run you at almost 50 grand.

@Gefreiter44 10 лет назад

Ok, experts, I own a 2013 E550 cabrio, in fact, the only one I've even seen in my 'hood. I'm no track expert by any means, but I've consistently gone 0-60 in 4.5 seconds in "Sport" mode. I'm not surprised that C&D did it in 4.3 (coup). Mercedes says 5 secs to 60 in their specs but they're traditionally very conservative. My son owns a 2014 Aston DB9 and I can give him a real run for those 12 cylinders he's got! And if we wanna be picky, it's 402 hp and 443 lb. ft. of cam spinner (^ ^).

@uyende90 10 лет назад

did he said oregon haha, perfect place for this car...

@maximusextreme3725 10 лет назад

I am sure Javier had to go along, how else do you ensure the "shipment" in the hidden compartment makes it to its destination.

@crazycapsfan123 11 лет назад

Roman, it was 4.8 seconds. Pretty quick for a 550

@cameronbatchelor5320 11 лет назад

ever been to the tillamook cheese factory? the drive there from Portland is just too amazing!

@tonyakinremi7712 11 лет назад

Thanks for Uploading this Vid. Heard MB will no longer have a V8 in this model. If True that would be A Shame.

@renshoota 11 лет назад

I think they look more distict now than in the early 90s late 80s. W201, W124 and W126 looked pretty much the same just longer and bigger grills in the order above.

@MRFUCKOFF202 11 лет назад

The S4 is light and AWD. You're also quite misinformed. The E550 does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds (/watch?v=XyU99XP5vTg, car & driver tested 4.3 seconds) while the S4 takes 5 seconds.

@MrTONYTONYM 11 лет назад

So? You gonna buy it?

@NikoBell12 11 лет назад

You're envying people who live in Oregon? You guys live in Colorado, that state has some of the most gorgeous roads. :O

@renshoota 11 лет назад

True, with proper maintenance this car would last u a lifetime easily.

@renshoota 11 лет назад

It starts at 60,000, U will have very few that are optioned as well as the tester. I think most people think that 80,000 grand was the average price, most of em won't cost that much or even close.

@renshoota 11 лет назад

After ticking every option and service offered it topped out at $87,031. That's with a ton of stuff most people don't need or want.

@aaronsu8763 11 лет назад

Cant wait for then to make a e63 amg coupe and cab

@slabsides1 10 лет назад

MB is my favorite car company because of the crash technology and longevity factor. I want the E-coupe 4-Matic clean diesel. 401 horsepower for a twin turbo is WAY underpowered though. Anybody should be able to get 401 horsepower today from a V-8 without turbos. A $90,000 twin turbo V-8 SHOULD be pushing at LEAST 500+ horsepower. For 401 horsepower you MAY as well use a twin turbo V-6 and get the fuel economy like the new Porsche Panamera.

@liljay300000 10 лет назад

lol you don't understand what they are doing with there engines now a days.

@MunzMjs 9 лет назад

Dude have u bothered to check the torque figures?

@JDRVP 6 лет назад

A Renntech tune gets it to 540hp

@romeomashile8367 6 лет назад

With a tune this one can do atleast 500hp i think.

@MrNicholg 11 лет назад

Fair enough. I guess it's probably due to the size of the rear window.

@wsc31 11 лет назад

Given the nature of this car I am not sure that there is any great need to know the numbers, 0-60/EPA/actual costs etc. It will not matter to the folks who will buy this car, other than for bragging purposes. All anyone needs to know about it is clearly seen in the silly grin it put on your face. The way you communicated the thrill and fun of this car may very well sell a few units. Thank you for the ride along on that beautiful road.

@sgbradley 11 лет назад

I watched & timed you 4 times & 3 of those times was 4.83 - 0 to 60 mph I hope you were using a bad camera so it could get 4.6 :D

@MrNicholg 11 лет назад

This is essentially a CLK, maybe a little more roomy than that previous model, now built on the actual E platform, iirc. You pay for AMG spec or you pay for a convertible top. Gramps might prefer the wind in his hair over Nordschleife times.

@renshoota 11 лет назад

Fuel Milage

@Sergio-rv5ei 11 лет назад

5 or 6 second

@renshoota 11 лет назад

Not because it's 8 cylinders, think about the difference in displacement as well.

@Alleykattt 10 лет назад

5.14

@manny44 11 лет назад

I timed it at 5.67

@rousseau327 11 лет назад

would never shell out the money, or would never have the money to shell out, lol.

@Smilelines100 10 лет назад

Car and Driver instrument tested this car at 4.4 sec. 0-60. www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2014-mercedes-benz-e550-cabriolet-test-review The Audi S5 cabriolet is 5.2 and the Audi RS5 cabriolet is 4.9.

@billwhiteathome2080 6 лет назад

The E-class is comparable to the Audi A6, S6, and RS6, not the less powerful Audi 5 series.

@UltimateCARNUT 11 лет назад

wow 85 for that?

@renshoota 11 лет назад

Exactly, A "C" The 550 is the top of the range for the E coupe, there is no AMG model. People are forgetting that the price of mercedes are really low now compared to the early 90s and 80s. 90 grand could not buy you a W124 500E in 1992 if corrected for inflation.

@renshoota 11 лет назад

It costs even more in Europe where it is made bro. Because so many people lease in America a lot of people drive expensive cars they cannot afford, just like the housing market.

@MrNicholg 11 лет назад

A Black top will look cheaper with Silver, especially as it ages. But that brings up the real $85K question...No folding hardtop? Even an SLK has a painted roof.

@Erich2142 11 лет назад

Scrap? Mercs are very reliable and will live for years!

@abdallashabibi152 11 лет назад

Around 5 or 6 Maybe 6.5

@Whotta 11 лет назад

A fully loaded one, I might add

@MrNicholg 11 лет назад

That's a lot of cheddar.

@niinobambiino 7 лет назад

comparable to an audi a5? a more reasonable comparison would be an S5.

@hannahkim5258 10 лет назад

6 seconds. Damm

@trumpet12345 11 лет назад

Further, you also see the kids often leverage a business for down payments and such, but never firmly establish themselves and rather are always on the verge of the car being taken and hurting the business.

@renshoota 11 лет назад

A Bentley convertible doesn't come with a hard top either, so what's the big deal?

@elvinrosas3697 10 лет назад

4.9 sec

@freibier 11 лет назад

It's a luxury car with a ton of high tech options, and you're also paying for the star on the front. Mercedes can get away with stuff like this, customers for E class and upwards do not care much about the price (or about mileage) - if they buy a cabriolet like this, it's probably as a second car.

@trumpet12345 11 лет назад

Doesn't surprise me, I've seen it happen amongst some of my peers that either caused the business to fold or they just wanted to make a quick buck and tossed it aside once the grandparents died and the parents hand over the rings. I guess I wasn't specific when I meant "their children", I mean the children of the second generation.

@MrNicholg 11 лет назад

0-60mph: Faster than a Murano CrossCabrio, just barely.

@bleachman9000 11 лет назад

it competes with neither of those, if you want to know, the closest Audi fighter for this would be the S5 cabriolet.

@TheGamingAviator 11 лет назад

5.11

@anatoliynykilchyk7699 11 лет назад

the c is too tide inside

@Von_RX 11 лет назад

4.82

@rousseau327 11 лет назад

Lol that's not my point. My point is, if one has the money to buy an expensive car, they often will. And you proved me right.

@Veyronp87 11 лет назад

nice ride, but 85k??? is that a joke?

@Airforcing 11 лет назад

about 5.5 seconds

@peternazir9321 11 лет назад

It was 5 seconds

@Narrowcros 11 лет назад

Problem with the C-Class is the next generation is coming next year

@tahj677 11 лет назад

Such a nice car but I can't see myself paying that much money.

@renshoota 11 лет назад

Not a 550

@trumpet12345 11 лет назад

huh 85k; would never shell out that kind of money on a car. I picked up a Prizm for a bit more than a grand and had more fun learning how to touch up a few nagging problems such as sensors, body work, belts, etc. No one wants to steal it either.

@PainEditz 11 лет назад

0-60 5.6 secs

@trumpet12345 11 лет назад

You'd also be surprised that is often a grandparent that sets up a business, the kid becomes too involved, and their children end up being the furthest removed from perspective and gain a sense of entitlement and get their way through their parents and not the original grandparent. Things easily become cutthroat once lawyers and company control are involved.

@NikoBell12 11 лет назад

But what if you want a Mercedes convertible with more luxury than a C Klasse. -___-

@heemie16 11 лет назад

5.4 sec 0-60

@letsgowarriors30 11 лет назад

82k is too much money for this car. You could get a C63 AMG coupe or an RS5 cabriolet. Both are more fun, sporty, and fun to drive.

@Batsassin 11 лет назад

ew why is the top red, that just makes it look bad.

@lithiumkc8 11 лет назад

Tillamook Cheese

@jkim13055 11 лет назад

this motor is underrated and it can make a lot more easily if you want it to.. its not like MB (or any brand) would jump from 382 to 500 HP in one generation and trim level. Shouldn't judge from peak figures either, this makes much more torque from a much lower RPM. Might only have 20+ HP, but it has a boatload more torque and cut an entire second off its 1/4 ET and added more than 10 MPH from the older engine.

@chrisindoha5680 11 лет назад

5.38 sec

@16Nightmare16 11 лет назад

0-60 4.8 seconds.

@affansiddiqui4218 11 лет назад

anyone else have a Cadillac commercial

@Erich2142 11 лет назад

I bet you wont see one for 60k in 3 years!

@luke5288 11 лет назад

i guess 4.7

@kirbyswarp 11 лет назад

60k as soon as it exits the dealership, and scrap as soon as the warranty runs out.

@TheSantiayo 11 лет назад

for 85 you can get a c63 amg

@andrenj1970 11 лет назад

twin turbo V8 with so little power compared to even old V8s without power adders hmm.

@The_Osprey 11 лет назад

I agree. Red on Silver doesn't do anything for me either. This is a serious chick car.

@onoff314 11 лет назад

Not even comparable really..

@keithragan298 11 лет назад

i got 5.00 flat

@nbrigdan 11 лет назад

I hear that's a cabrio... lol

@TheJasonwootten 11 лет назад

0-60 in 5.28 seconds

@kirbyswarp 11 лет назад

Looking forward to picking one up for 30k in 2 years lmao

@apalsenberg 11 лет назад

It may look like an E and it may say E, but it really is a C.

@Mamo878 11 лет назад

"E five hundred-and-fifty"? Um, that's an interesting way of saying it. Kind of like saying Porsche nine hundred-and-eleven. ;-)

@mikesinaro 11 лет назад

Damn technology has come a long way...my 2000 maxima only has a bonestock V6 and still is more thirsty then this fun little convertible. Then again comparing Nissan to Mercedes is like exchanging stares with a statue...fucks the point?
