Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Review: is it better than BMW X3 M40i?
I bought one new a few years ago and it was a disappointment. Great performance and fuel economy but plagued with gremlins and vw unresponsive
@@powertools2375 what issues did you have?
@ brakes twice, radio blank screen, fuel lines, fuel canister etc etc all within 24k mile. Vw saying is normal for break pads to only last 10k miles and pesky check engine light which two dealerships wrote off as bad gas without really doing an analysis of the fuel. Always used top tier gas. Vw customer service was no help at all. I really hated dealing with them. They are machines and stuff goes wrong but vw took no responsibility. Ina span of two years I counted more than 10 visits to the dealerships not counting oil changes(2)
@@powertools2375 very unfortunate ( This happens with all brands to be fair though. But definitely not something mass I believe.
@@romansrides6647 I agree but my main problem was with vw customers service. They said keep bringing it back and all is covered under warranty (except break pads) but I don’t feel you should have to change the break pads with the same frequency as the oil. Plus having the dealership keep fixing stuff even if it’s still under warranty is not ideal and you get no loaner. No vw for me ever again.
@@romansrides6647 and it’s more common than you think with the Taos being the least reliable vehicle in several publications.
The Limited was way too much for me. Just not worth it for day to day use and so i took the Laramie, Sport and pack 2 with Pano-roof and I love this truck. No one will understand till they drive one for a nice test ride. Compare to GMC, Ford or Tundra, the RAM IS the truck to own. Powerful and smooth as butter on a slice bread. Coil spring in the back is the ticket for a more comfortable ride.
@@alp3781 agree 👍 Solid choice. Is yours a high output version?
@ S.O. I don’t need more then 420 hp….lol. More than enough. I don’t tow much. The lbs/ft at 3k is so strong, more than needed. It’s sick strong block.
My daughter bought a '24 about 6 months ago. The thing has been flawless. Not a single issue with it. Way more options in it vs my wife's same year Audi. Taos has wireless CarPlay, heated steering wheel, remote start.... none of that in the Audi & the Audi was +$15k more. Taos is a crazy underrated vehicle nowadays.
@@loseerich493 totally agree 👍
Own a 2022 taos, already completed 102000, still it gives the same performance & fuel economy .
excellent!
VW did a terrible job at hiding the fact that Taos was born from a recycler part bins.
sounds implausible)
That must be the smallest infotainment screen at that price point.
@@doloresvancartier4249 it’s unified across all trims
@ even worse! Its the smallest infotainment in this category of vehicles, or in this segment if you prefer. Thats what I meant. Hell, a base Corolla has a bigger screen!
@@doloresvancartier4249 yes but why would you need a bigger one? It’s fine for CarPlay or Android auto.
@ this is way too small circa 2017. Why bigger? Ask that to every other automaker out there. Ask that to customers. See what response you get. Why would you need a bigger tv? A bigger iPhone screen? A bigger car? A bigger house? Seriously? Are you living under a rock???!! For that price the Taos is far behind the competition.
@@doloresvancartier4249stop being rude......
617hp and 625lb-ft of Torque?? Actually, the Durango Hellcat has 710hp and 645lb-ft of Torque😎👍🤌
@@RalHellcat my bad, I meant to say 717 hp 😉 Thanks
They switched out the blue satin trim. That is something I would miss in my 24 Taos SE FWD.
@@davidgood6744 on the inside?
@ The dash had a cool satin blue trim that ran from door to door and around the interior door handles. It looks silver now.
A Crown costs nearly the same as a Lexus ES300! But you get more in a Lexus. Its hard to justify the Crown unless they drop the price by $15k.
@@Chiklet42 reasonable statement
I am in the market to purchase a new vehicle ,it is between the Camry XSE or a Crown Limited. There is something a I it the Crown that screams unique and rugged .
How much was the fuel ⛽️ economy during driving? That’s is the most important part where majority TH-camrs forgets to mention or make reviews on it
I intentionally skip that since my driving style is irrelevant to average person driving habits. With tons of accelerations it won't show real world economy. Though my own 2020 Jetta consumed 31 mpg combined, that was 1.4T version of this engine
No dipstick no thanks
@@trip5086 ))
@@trip5086 I couldn’t care less. I go to a mechanic I know for years and I watch him change it. You can’t fight future tech and this is how it’s going to be. I trust the electrics. No issues at all.
Does this Jetta have one of those stupid CVT transmissions? I wouldn’t touch it if it does.
@@beetlejuiceification nope, it’s conventional 8 speed automatic transmission with torque converter.
I just viewed a vid (Realistick) "6 reasons to buy a 2025 Subaru Crosstrek", and apparently Subaru has upgraded the Crosstrek's engine form a 2.0 to a 2.5 (although it's a CVT).
@@gregholman2930 correct, it’s a bigger engine but CVT would be a no go for me.
Same here. The cvt transmission was a deal breaker for me.
It’s a decent cvt now, and I would much rather drive a Subaru than a vw.
The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Limited for $33k after a $2,441 rebate ( Scottsdale, AZ), would probably be the one I'd pick if I was in the market for a compact crossover, but no doubt the VW TAOS is a compelling alternative. I'd pass on the panoramic sunroof (don't like a big hole in my roof) which would reduce the VW to under $30k. I watched another review on the 2025 TAOS & his opinion was that he preferred the previous model engine better bc of the DSG. He said it felt more like a German engineered vehicle as opposed to the new 8 speed. The gentleman said people were complaining that the DSG had a tendency to jerk during gear shifts sometimes, but the new model doesn't seem as fun, it's been neutered.
@@gregholman2930 most people did not understand that the DSG was a robotic manual in a nutshell.
Subaru all the way out Taos was a pos
I love how they made Climatronic automatic climate control standard across all trims.
@@AlexT-iy9js agree
I'm confused How old is this video because you have an expired dealer plate on there? Am I wrong?
@@markhuber50 August 2024
All of the reviews i have seen say the car is quiet, it is but you do hear the CVT transmission while you drive, my sonata hybrid has some wind noise, but you don't hear the engine unless you get on it. Told myself i would never buy a CVT but the rest of the car is very good. so, I'm getting a red one today. Hopefully I don't regret it.
@@michaelhoapili4688 there’s no CVT in here. Though Toyota calls it a eCVT, it’s a planetary gear set. It whines a bit like a CVT during acceleration, but it’s not a CVT. You should not regret)
@romansrides6647 thank you
I love the gli jsut wish they gave you a option to black out it all including the interior I don’t like the red stitching or the red strip in the front and then last off if they would offer a awd version with the 270 horsepower engine or throw a v6 270 horsepower engine and get rid of the floating tablet screen this car would be perfect like litterally

i bought camry 25 SE 2 months back, its looks are better than XSE becusae bumper has black mesh instead of same color mesh grill, black looks good. crown looks good only on TV :)
@@yassermian9913 Congrats on your purchase 🎊
@@romansrides6647 one thing i dont like about xse camry and crown is that seats are perforated and i fear that if i spill something liquid will go in holes, whereas camry SE has flat "leather" seats.
I like that new shade of blue. I picked up a very low mileage Jetta S quite cheap for a used '24. Lot of car for the money. Only real negative is the sound system which is probably the worst i've ever heard in a vehicle since the 1980s. The larger wheels on the Sport might be a worthwhile upgrade, quite easy to break the base models tires loose w/ a manual.
@@mikedaleiden7725 Agree, Jetta is a good value proposition. And pretty quick for its 1.5T engine.

Does that have a Hemi in it? No? No thanks.

@@emiliodaloisio3312 I come from a Ford Focus 2017 RS which I could not drive due to back issues exacerbated by operating the clutch. Just bought a 2024 with DSG and although not as "fun" as the RS it is a quicker car (due to the DSG) and much more refined. It is faster than a type R and as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
a GREAT review, better than many of the others, here the driver goes into some detail regarding NVH over coarse pavement and ride smoothness over rough pavement. why can't more reviewers cover these key issues? i would love to test drive one, last vw i drove was a '79 rabbit [old man here] which had an amazingly smooth ride over bumpy pavement compared to the pinto i had before it. i do fear the new german [expensive and built to stay that way] car here may have the same unreliability my rabbit had, something was always going wrong with it.
@@ivanwashington3186 thank you for your feedback 🤝 Reliability is not that bad, but you would definitely want to change oil every 5k miles, check the coolant level and not shut off the engine right after spirited drive )

Junk cars. Terrible quality control, customer service is non existent. warranty claims denied. Just google and see for yourself stay away.
I owned and still own a VW. None of these issues existed for me. A lot was done under warranty. Sometimes it's hard to diagnose a problem, but specifically Jetta and Arteons worked good, as well as our family Taos and Tiguan. Maybe depends on a specific dealer
