I raised a question about the purpose of the so-called ‘visor test’ in the last video comments, and you guys responded! Holy-s**t. Actually I figured that out by watching another 20 videos in your channel, and I have to say you guys are one of the most entertaining channels on KZfaq! Such amazing chemistry. Awesome!

generationfourth Coz they did the ‘test’ super quickly in the first video that I watched, so I’m really unsure. I live in Hong Kong and we seldom need to block the sun from the sides as the buildings are too tall and the sky is seldom truly clear. Cheers!

I prefer the coupe to be honest. I never really liked the way that Mercedes does its convertibles unless its the S-class cabriolet. I also feel that after a couple years of owning the convertible in a wintery climate, it will look awful after like 2 years, so I would much rather go with the coupe. The only convertible that I would get is the BMW 6 Series Convertible. That thing is sexy.

I test drove a 2018 and part of my test was putting the top up and down with the key fob as illustrated at 8:57. It couldn't have been easier. My only thought is that they had a defective key fob, or maybe it just needed new batteries. It truly could not have been easier and was very responsive to a light touch

Remember though that the A Class tech is software related. On their larger cars like this, the tech is more hardware related. You won't get a 6 cylinder, massage seats, air suspension, night vision etc in an A Class. You are also not getting the same level of ride quality or refinement. The tech here is still amazing by the way. I just think it showd the target audience to an extent. Alot of people these days a taken by easily done software wizardry over amazing hardware engineering.

Fun fact about the key fob feature: that feature is present on ALL Mercedes-Benz cars, not just cabriolets (even my old 2002 Mercedes CLK430 coupe has it). On the non-cabriolets, it just rolls down all the windows and opens the moonroof. If you have ventillated seats, it'll also turn on the driver's seat cooler. On cars with keyless access (where you leave the key in your pocket, put your hand in the door handle and it unlocks, etc), you can put the top back up by putting your finger over the lock sensor and keeping it there.

I don't know if I've ever ROTFL at a car review video prior to today. Piano black buttons. :D Shout out to MB for their use of matte finish wood trim! I'd take the coupe with windows rolled down for overall looks, but the cabriolet for open air runs for at least three seasons of the year. A good friend's mom had a late '80s 300 CE and let me have a go in it just as I was learning to drive. Windows down with no B pillar and 0 - 80mph in such a linear rate of acceleration that you barely felt the speed w/o minding the speedometer.... gateway drug, that was.

The new one does have glass window over the hatch but can see the handle while he mechanism is working while roof operations. Just a thought lol

So...For all you "younger" folks the think the term "cabriolet" sounds better than convertible , the historical reference goes something like this... A "convertible" is the term used to describe any 4 seater rag-top/hard top that goes up and down. The era of a "cabriolet" is for the 2 door/2 seater version of the rag-top/ hard -top version of said convertible. Not to nit-pick these very entertaining young men, but this is the correct terms to be considered for future reference. Another great review of my favorite Canadian car guys! BTW...Coupe all the time, everyday, all year long!
