No matter how rich I become, the C-Class Mercedes-Benz is good enough for me. The car is just right.
bmo shareholder apple shareholder
True mate. He didn’t review the c300 with all the packages, drives amazing, looks amazing and more premium than audi and bmw. I went shopping for the best car in the c class range and found it to be best for my money. Recently purchased and loving it.
@Csab bruh
@@richlili gotta give it to audi.. it's 2021 and the mercedes still doesn't have a touchscreen or standard leather seats
@@tylerhansen99870 that’s the same for Audi regarding the leather seats. And I actually prefer having a knot for the screen instead of touch.
I agree, even after 5 years!
Dear Marek , great job you’re my role model for reviewing cars in arabic (Egypt)
Honest and direct to the point ,differentiating and not affected by any brands
i love this car but damn this is a damn good review. I like the truth keep it up
Good review, thanks!
Great and honest review. I like the new 2019 BMW 3 series better even though I was never a big fan.. I'm beginning to love the 3 series.. interior, exterior and the engine
Agree a few points with you Marek. Test drove this model and found that; in Comfort mode.
-ves:
- slow to pick up speed in low gears.
- Upon slowing down, sometimes slow to pick speed back up.
- Steering’s stiffer (compared with the version before this) during parking.
- Steering wheel feels less luxurious.
-noise, does sound like diesel!
+ve:
- Softer, more comfortable suspension over bumps and holes.
- Think the new head & tail lights are beautiful.
- Large and high res dashboard screen is nice.
- option: Easy enter&exit seat adjust.
- Visual for adjusting sound volume.
Nice video. I just subscribed.
Answer to your first question: I prefer classical instrument cluster.
I like tablet style infotainment display, just like the one in that car.
I have the C250 gasoline prefacelift as my company car and it absolutly works fine
I dont think that sound insolation nore steering is poor, maybe the steering could give me more feedback about what the front tires doing, but its direct enough
Quality inside is fine, there‘s no rattling and an great mix of materials, apart from the cheap „piano black“ in/on the centre console
C class in black looks great
I really like your video style. When can we expect a Peugeot 508 review?
I wish I knew. Peugeot Poland tells me they don't have it yet.
@@MarekDrives No worries. Looking forward to the next episode!
I agree that the sound insulation without the acoustic glass isn't great. While its good for a normal mid size car, from a premium car it can be expected more. Otherwise the interior makes up a lot for that. It has much more càche than the outgoing 3 series or even the actual A4, while the latter is even better in regards of haptic and quality. Would I buy the C Class again, no...I would go for an E Class or 5 series next time, especially for the improvement in comfort.
Finally someone who has the same thoughts about the Merc C Class as me. I like that your reviews are not glossed with sugar. Most other reviewers sing high praise about the C Class, but my experience driving that car for 2 weeks was very disappointing when I had the 3 series on loan too for comparison.
What were the problems, sir?
Nice job. I love people who are honest, it is shame that this kind of dude, who tell you the truth about any car, the real drivers problems, for example for suzuki swift you cant see upper traffic lights or this model that is not so premium even if we talk about mercedes, that he have only 100k subs. And others who tell the lies and talk nice about bad things in the cars have 10m subs. This is a strange world. When I buy my car, first thing I watch video from this channel, and everything this dude say is on the spot. He honestly told in the video that you won't reach far in 4x4 mode on that specific car, and he is right. That was suv and not true off road car. I hope that this man gets respect he deserve!
Agreed with you. Usually car reviewers (especially mainstream ones) feel disconnected from their audience, especially since they drive a lot of flashy high end expensive cars, and I can get that sometimes after you drive an S class yeah the 3 series will feel cheap. But Marek is level headed in terms of consumer connection.
I accidentally clicked on your non-English version of the video and noticed you 'sound' more 'energetic' in the other video. What's the backstory? All kidding aside, continued appreciation for the quality of your work. Have a great weekend.
You may be right. Should I be more energetic in my English reviews as well?
@@MarekDrives Creating multi-language content is more than enough work for a person. You have very strong communication skills and your attention to detail shows. Maintaining high production levels consistently is no easy task.
Thank you as always Marek. Enjoy your weekend.
@@MarekDrives I rather like your slightly sardonic style in English! 🤓
As asked in your video: I really do not like the double screens (which are implemented in the A- and E-class) > looks like 2 larges iPads are connected to each other en put up. I prefer a traditional setup with a seperate 'cockpit'.
I think premium is about qualities that run deeper than tech and gizmos. It's about interior ambience, refinement, long term durability, fit and finish and the thoroughness of engineering.
And thoroughness this C Class lacks unfortunately.
6:16: Hi Marek, thank you for this review. You speak from 6:15 about the average comfort of this car. This is the second review online i find for the face lifted C Class which talks about the average suspension. To be honest i drove this car myself for 3 days (standard suspension, no AMG) and found it myself also quite bouncy for a Merc which surprised me. Since i saw such comments missing not only from your original review when this c class debuted 6 years, where not only you but also other youtube reviewers mentioned a comfortable ride, my question is following: did they mess up something in the facelift? I'd appreciate your feedback as i am looking this car for my dad and was planning to buy it soon. Unfortunately it has to be a Merc but the E-Class is too expensive.
You must buy Airbody system and that is all great...
You surprised me! This was a really good review and gave me a lot to think about as I am (was) planning to buy this car.
MH just buy this car...this test was totally wrong....but buy 220 diesel motor...and Airbody...

Whys he keep mentioning mondeo it’s like comparing a mansion and my back shed
Are you planning to test the ford focus? Thank you. Nice reviews 👌
I am. I'm not sure Ford Poland is though :)
Mate you said they didn’t do seat memory function they do you need to add it when selecting packages 🤦🏽♂️❓❓
Thanks for the review which I viewed several months ago when I was looking to replace my BMW 5 series.
I was almost put off taking an extended test drive of a C Class such was your dissatisfaction with the car.
I’m so glad I didn’t. The C Class was one of four cars I was considering and test drove a Mondeo Vingnale, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and the C Class. Of the four, the Class was head and shoulders above the rest in terms of the cabin feel and quality and I certainly don’t agree that the C Class cabin is dated - it’s nothing of the sort. As regards the ride quality of the cars, they were fairly closely matched although the Mondeo was well behind the others. As I wasn’t in the market for an aggressive, hard driving car, comfort was much more important to me and once the C Class was matched with the Airmatic option it left the others behind in day to day driving.
This highlights the problem with reviews such as this in that they are very subjective and it’s inevitable that the testers/reviewers bias will have an impact. As will my own bias having chosen to buy an AMG Line C Class a couple of months ago and been very happy with it indeed.
The experience I would draw from watching car reviews is that it is essential to test drive a car yourself and make a decision based on that experience rather than just watching/listening to the comments of a TH-cam review.
I fully agree that everyone needs to make up their own mind. Reviewers (should) point out positives and negatives to look out for. I'm glad you found your perfect car. I stick to my opinion that this is the most mediocre car in Mercedes' current line up :)
Marek Drives we will have to agree to disagree, although I will concede that you will have greater knowledge and experience of the full Mercedes line up than me. All the best 👍😀
@@captainscarlett705 Did you buy the EQ Boost model which was test driven, or another? That could make a large difference as well.
He complained that you cannot make the back seats go down to store big items without opening the trunk. Wouldn't you open the trunk anyway to put the big item in the trunk? He also complained that the C 300 isn't fast enough... that's why there is a C43 and C63.
Finally, an honest review instead of the usual nonsense.
Have you faced a lot of wind noise from the front doors glass/mirrors as it is in pre-facelifted version?
It's loud in general, hence it's best to add the acoustic comfort package.
In my country a c160 avantgarde with agility control suspention actualy 300 euros cheaper then a mazda 6. The acceleration is the same. The mazda suspetion is very unconfortable in our roads, and the interrior is full of plastic. The drive experience is better on the mercedes because of the rearweel drive. The inerrior is quieter. I think you get much better over all quality than a ford mondeo, skoda suberb, VW passat with full of plastic. In the c class you will see the value for your money.
Hi Marek! What about 2019 C300 ? What are your thoughts on that one? Thanks!
I haven't driven one.
Im thinking of buying a benz because of the way that brand makes you feel... simple as that...
Thanks for video. What do you think about c class estate 1.5 4matic ?
Not much.
@@MarekDrives didn’t you drive ?
I've just priced up a car in the UK and got offers for 32k which isn't too bad.
To me one of the best smaller Saloons arouns, cant get many better, your pricing seems to be all over the place, comparing this to Mazda’s and Fords is ridiculous, this is in a completely different league, i recently just switched from a bmw 3 series to this, and its the best decision ive made
The first reason is the comfort and psychological feeling of driving a luxury brand. None of the mass produced brand offer this level of comfort and noise insulation (with exceptions)
haha, Marek makes the funny videos. A C 200 is there only to make your neighbours jealous, who have a Mazda or Peugeot and don't know a lot about cars. I grew up in Mercedes-Land, countryside close to Stuttgart and there every farmer had a MB 190E / C200 - low spec, just having the star at the bonnet was a must. But this thinking is out-dated, but exists now in China. In the future people think generally differently about cars.
So, what do farmers around Stuttgart drive these days?
When I was in Germany for Opel Grandland X test drives I say locals in the villages look at it with approval.
@@MarekDrives I don't live anymore at the countryside, know farmers only from advertising folders (today everything is so organic and all farmers are smiling happily at the brochures) but I guess they really love Grandland X and these SUVs
Marek..great review.honestly.not at all a bootlicker like the most merc reviewers on yt.you didnt just make a presantation but you made sensible comments on this "premium" car.of course at this price point its not a premium car #not
I am looking for a new car and am a BIG Mercedes fan, but after reading thousands of complaints (reliability sucks/extremely expensive repairs on cars
I am looking to upgrade from a bmw 4 series. Would this car be a good choice? I am interested in C200 MHEV 1.5l petrol year 2020 in used condition. Would this give me a good mpg compared to a 2l petrol engine on 4 series?
No.
Where do you get your crazy prices from? I see a bunch of well equipped c200d on sale here in Sweden for less than 35000 euro. That includes all the safety tech, Amg line, metallic paint, towing hook, acoustic Windows, navigation, reversing camera and remote engine heating for the winter. Very well priced, at least here i Sweden.
Forgot to write that i am talking about brand new cars, the facelifted 2019 MY.
For my English reviews I usually take German prices. This is the official online configurator price, which excludes any dealer discounts. In Poland this particular test car was specified for 55.5k euro.
Okey. The bit i reacted on was that you have to spend at least 80-90k to get a nice one.
With a more powerful engine it's going to cost about that much.
@@MarekDrives And who wants this engine? Breaking hp is what counts.
Lol he’s trying to be ‘fair’ and picked out all the negatives points. He should really do pros and cons, not just one sided review trying to stand out from the rest. Poor move
My first Merc was a 1994 C-Class. It was a premium, luxurious, quiet, comfortable, reliable tank. I followed with an E-Class and SLK and loved them. Then I tried a 2008 C-Class as a gift for my partner. It was unreliable rubbish; 10 miles past the warranty the entire front steering rack required replacement (US$5000) and had to fight with Mercedes to cover it under warranty. Old Mercedes were great, but since the mid-2000s, they look great, but they are just rubbish.
Weird.
The style is still one of the best, it never ages. The driving is not sporty or direct, but responds well to your actions, it's predictable and enjoyable. A slow motor is a slow motor.
Only the 2020 3-series is probably finally trumping the C-class. Audi is out by default for not being rwd.
The price is only a few thousand more than Mondeos and what not, but you can tell the C has the quality way over them.
Hello Marek.I wanna buy a new c200 with airmatic and fully loaded.I want ur opinion about it.i cannot spend 80k for a bigger one and taxes here in Greece are huge for 2lt plus engines.U need to pay 1k for every year u own it.So is it worth to get the new fl c200?
No.
No cause of the engine performance?
Just purchased a 2015(Sept reg):
MERCEDES-BENZ C220 AMG ED PREMIUM + CDI A 2143CC
How do I determine if it is a W204 or W205.?
I would be grateful for your advice
W204 is the previous generation. You can tell by the looks.
Borgward bx7 pleaseee
Dear Marek, you are wrong here.....This MBC is much much better than any VW or Ford Vignale....I have new MB C kombi 220 d , this car is simply amazing. You can pay additionally for Air body, it cost only ca 1800 eur and this gives you all comfort. My car was costing as a fleet car instead of list price 59.000 eur was price 38.000 eur, which is good price. So, go for MBC , you will enjoy.
New Mazda 6 would be my choice currently own 2016 a4 3.0 tdi 272
thats a step backwards. A4 is much better
Well done ! Very good English . I think it is a shame that Mercedes has gone outside to source some of it's engines , namely from Renault . A Renault derived engine in a C class car is not acceptable in view of the price . I would possibly choose a nice E220 CDI with 20.000kms on the clock to offset depreciation and still have the MB driving pleasure .
1.5 is pure mercedes engine in the C class. Only the A class has a renault engine
Having to walk around to the boot of the vehicle (a real hassle I know - NOT!) to release the rear seat backs is by design. It is designed so you can place luggage in the boot, flick a switch in the glove box to prevent the boot from being opened and then lock the glove box using the mechanical key. You then remove the mechanical key from the key fob. Then when you're at a hotel, you can have your vehicle valet parked and the boot is secure. The valet cannot open the boot by normal means nor can they access the boot by folding down the rear seats (they'd have to have access to the boot to do this). I don't understand why you make this carefully thought out feature sound like a design flaw.
No doubt you're probably right but it seems stupid to me, (1) How often does a valet park your car and (2) If the valet is trusted to park your very expensive car, he or she can probably be trusted not too pinch your golf clubs, hand made shoes, diamond encrusted coffee cup, or whatever else you keep in there.
I've noticed that a lot of these new 48V mild hybrid vehicles from Audi and Mercedes actually don't save any fuel at all. I've been driving the new A6 50TDI and Audi claim around 6L/100km combined, I've been getting 10L/100km... So all this new tech doesn't help at all.
From my experience they work best with relatively large-displacement petrol engines, where economy benefits are easy to spot.
@@MarekDrives What about performance? Wouldn't it be nice to get some HPs out of EQ boost? It's not much I assume, but I think it would benefit you while overtaking. What do you think Marek?
Also, which Mercedes cars have this EQ technology?
This thing is going to have a tough go of it with the new 3 series being revealed. I wonder how the new Genesis g70 will stake up against this as well. This car is kind of like warm porridge. That's not a good thing.
With respect to the new double screen, I think it is a much cleaner design solution than that iPad type screen but I guess it was too big of redesign for this refresh to install. Kind of embarrassing given the A class has it now.
Mercedes 2016/17 CLA is the best looking
Hate those square screens.
I would prefer a 2.0T in C Class. No 1.5T.
who else prefers the orange turn signals at the rear, other than the break light functioning as a turn signal?
It's dictated by regulations, rather than aesthetics, no? In the US you can have a brake light blinker, and in Europe you need an orange light.
@@MarekDrives Oh okay, didn't know thanks. But I prefer the orange lights it looks nice. 😍
Most buyers of this car only care about the badge. They will buy it even with less specification and poorer dynamics just because it says Mercedes.
Okay so what’s bad in that?
There are people with better income and they have right to spent the way they want.
@@n4jdi409 Nothing is bad in it if only they were educated enough to know the pros and cons. Most people like apple fan base buy these cars for the badge alone and are completely clueless on what the car can deliver in various segments.
@@n4jdi409
You're getting a C200. You're getting nothing for this money
Addictive_LiquoriCe elaborate please.
its not just about the badge... its the positions of all knobs and buttons, the service when your car need service, i like to pay more for this if i also like the car. why they start at such low prices? because not everyone has the same needs.
How this C class feels compared to French, Japanese, British or Italian alternatives? Still interesting thoughts.
There is no French alternative.
How I know is my C200 2019 is AMG
Please make test of Renegade

no, i dont like double screen dash board at all
I strongly disagree that a premium car needs a big engine. There are lots of guys buying premium for silence. I'm quite sure that this 1.5 liter 184hp car can easily do 130kmh having some extra space under the pedal to overtake. So, I'd buy premium for silence. For comfy ergo seats even not fully electric ones. For burmeister audio system.
But it's not quiet. That's the problem.
@@MarekDrives OK. Just my curiosity: what car is comparable in terms of silence to this c200?
It's your average compact hatchback level.
sv1jbf it is not a premium car, it is pretty shitty
I would rather take new Peugeot 508 than any of the current comparable 'premium'.
So this car is slow, not very comfortable, not fuel efficient and outdated looking. Great stuff. Sounds like a typical Mercedes to me.
It's a luxury car..quit complaining about performance. Focused on fuel efficiency thus the ECO mode.
Or you can buy a used one...this cars depreciate like crazy. In 3-4 years you can find one for 50% or less of the price. Of course you'd better pay an extra for a 4 years warranty...
There's no point for buying c200 while u can buy c300 for the same price
This car is designed for buyers who see a Merc as an aspirational brand - and who realllllly have to "reach" to buy the low spec, C class. In Canada, the car barely costs more than a fully loaded Honda Accord Touring. What is a premium / luxury brand...? 6 cyl minimum 300-350 horsepower, all digital display(s), semi- autonomous driving tech fast shifting ZF or DC tranny and three primary materials inside the cabin - wood, leather and metal.... NO plastics or faux materials. If you talk to Merc mechanics they scoff at this car... the low end of a "real" Mercedes? E450....
It's cheap in Canada if it just barely costs more than a fully loaded Accord. A fully loaded accord is around $35k US while the C class starts at $40k. 5k isn't barely i must say.
Regading introduction, I must say that I disagree. Maybe it was like that 40y ago, but today... Today mb and other german premium are more in infotaiment than car itself. For example A class; Renault DIESEL(R.Diesel died in 1905) and torsion beam?? But hey, car talks ! Toyota ( lexus) are really inovative with their hybrid power trains, Tesla too, but they are still too exotic
for me the only sedan left for me in the mercedes line up to like is the c class simple because it doesnt have those huge hwawei like tablets...i hate them.
Marek, the question is simple. What car should I buy? 'cause you destroyed both of my choices in your reviews. C-Class and Mazda 6(mazda you even destroyed twice, even in this review).
BMW 330i (if you like driving) or Toyota Camry (if you just want a car). You're welcome.
Is this the AMG ?
No.
What price is this car now? Please give me reply friends, thanks you.
50000$
The combined wide screen in newer models is just embarrassing ... the joining part between the central screen and cockpit screen is obstructed by the steering wheel, which is an odd and “lazy” design. That’s why I don’t like Tesla. And I like the separated screens in this model
My Mercedes C Clas is awesome , Don't know why yours is so scrapy 😂
By how is it scrappy? It's a really nice vehicle inside and out.
This car should have memory seats and electric seats.have no idea why ur doesn’t 😂
Damn,so many Benz fanboys ah ah
Why would someone even try to convert metric units into any other ? If yanks dont get it,well,bad luck.Its finally time for them to adopt something normal.
Super negative review. You bashed on this car so much there are pros to the car as well. There is no back knowledge on this vehicle. And a Mercedes car is a car that you can customize and add what you want. It is a lot of money but what do you expect for a foreign car. I could not enjoy this video or find enough knowledge on this car. Because of the negative energy.
New car? What planet are you living on? How is this possible?
Thats the base model with the least tech.
C 300 D (y)
It Seems Like The Guy Hates The Car Don't Understand what's going on 🤔
Very negative review, a Benz is a Benz and cannot be compared with a Kia or Ford.
Same goes for: BMW, Audi, Porche, Bentley, etc etc
etc,etc and VOLVO. he,he.
wait for 2 years and buy it for half the price
Still not worth it.
@@MarekDrives Maybe you should do a video of cost of owning a German car and Its depreciation over the years. That would be a great topic
mine is comfortable.
idk y yoirs is not
cause mine is reliable
there always guy like you, said everything is expensive with practically mindset. You dont care about lifestyle, luxury feeling and enjoying the ride quality. Always thinking... oh I can have this/that for just half of price... why this is so expensive... its not worth. Just do some normal car brand such as Toyota and Mazda and VW. It is suited you.
I like lifestyle, luxury feeling, and enjoying the ride quality. And the C-Class offers none of the above.
C200 for that price!? The car world has gone mental off their meds. Such crap and the maintenance is even worse I'm sure.
Crappy as a Renault. Expensive as a Merc. :)
True that
Sadly, this review is all over the place. Not your best, I'm afraid.
Mercedes ignores passengers. Even the E class back seats are tight
He rell hating
So this is an overpriced mediocre car which offers nothing new but is somehow a better buy than .. I don't know, almost any other car in the same league, because it's a mercedes? No sane person could compare this car to the competition and say, yes this is better than the rest and I'm gonna buy it. People who buy only by brand name deserve the mediocre experience, the shitty customer support and the tax on stupidity.
60 thousand euaro, wtf too much
It's a joke.. don't even get keyless entry standard..
What an utter pessimistic review! It`s like he hated the car before he tested it.
I admit I didn't like W205 from the beginning, and Mercedes did nothing to improve the car during the facelift.
@@MarekDrives They did nothing? What?
truth hurts. mercedes c class sucks. i sat in a w205 and its damping is really bad just like my w204. sound isolation is also bad. Even the Audi a3 has a better interieur, damping and sound isolation than the c class+ the rear seats are longer and more comfortable in the A3. Mercedes has become a big joke.
@@MarekDrives what about e clasa e300? A few words please?
Terrible review. The car is fantastic but your review is atrocious - don’t ruin the car rep.
I wouldn’t even call this a review. Very one sided video
Lol he doesn’t know about cars , such a crap review
Ban the car! Ride the bike.
Get yourself a Ford and done deal...
I guess you wont be testing any more Mercedes Benz's after this review 😏
But having driven a C class myself i must agree with you - not really premium driving experience at all .
Good think than that dumb insecure yuppies don't cross shop much
I have one more lined up in about a month, but none of this cheap stuff ;)
@@MarekDrives Well I guess Mercedes didn't mind because after all you were just recomending to spend more on their cars 😉
I guess a product is worth as much as people are willing to pay for it. I personally enjoy more in searching for the best one for the €.
