Mercedes-Benz E 250 CGI Cabriolet Review

• Refinement: The cabin is relatively quiet with the roof raised, with the insulated cloth roof providing an ambience not unlike a regular hardtop coupe.
  
  
  Roof down, the Aircap system diverts air over the cabin, reducing wind buffet. However, the front seats remain perfectly habitable even with the Aircap retracted.
  
  
  Everything else is typically Benz: the body feels rigid with minimal scuttle shake and there were no wayward rattles.

• Suspension: The ride is comfortable but controlled, thanks to the AMG Sport package's 18-inch alloys and lower, stiffer suspension.
  
  
  Our car was also equipped with the Dynamic Handling package, which adds electronically adjustable dampers. Whether on a twisting road or a urban boulevard, the E 250 CGI's chassis is superbly controlled.

• Braking: The AMG Sport package brings perforated front brake discs, which enhance the performance of the already sizable stoppers. Braking performance is exceptional.
