Yeah but considering the C class is only a 4 cylinder, only offering 200- 300 hp for nearly 40 to well over 50k with all the options is shambolic, not when you consider getting a 2-3 year old C63 AMG costs the same, and if willing to go a little older then you can really find a good spec one, it hardly seems worth it.
Calvin you completely missed the point of this car. This is not intended to be a performance car in any way, this is for people who like the amg look but with out performance features. It is a great cruiser, diesnt sound boy racerier and looks elegant 👌
Lights are for kids, pan roof adds weight, digital dash is also pointless, branded sound systems are a marketing ploy, memory seats are great if you're a goldfish
The new Shape sprinters are incredible however VW/Man vans are even better. I’ve driven about every van you can think of over the past year (nothing older than 17) and the VW/Man is on top (even driven an electric Chinese van 😂) in terms of interior quality. But as a work horse I’d choose the Sprinter. Feels more powerful and it being rwd, just puts the power down much better.
Just recently got one almost totally similar except not facelifted. Blacked out and dark rims like this one. Insanely delicious car. Bought it for me, because i loved it, but lol i have not been lacking compliments.
I've got a 2019 C300 AMG Line Coupe with the digital dash and it just adds that little bit of premium, compared to the 2016 430d I came out of this car gets a lot more respect on the road. Great car for doing long journeys and gets around 40mpg. I would go E class coupe next time....

My mates got a c43 coupe and that is a beautiful motor and sounds really nice. Think that the c class coupe is a heavy car and needs 400 bhp power wise to be entertaining.
So it’s really a c200 then as it’s never been a 3 litre engine .This is what annoys me with newer bmws/Mercs the badge used to say what engine size it had so you could tell who had brought the base Engine option now it’s means zero and anyone can buy a basic version and pretend that they payed big money when in reality they cheaped out
The numbers do actually mean something and relate to power. I get the old way made a lot more sense and do wish it stayed the same, but with a merc and bmw, a 330i is higher spec & faster than a 320i (but they have the same engine) same as a c200 or c300. There’s about 50-100bhp of a difference though… i would say the c300/330i range suits someone looking at a c200/320i and fancy’s an upgrade, rather than someone wanting the beast and cheaping out 🤷♂️
@@CentralScotlandEnduro my issue is that the lesser model can be speced up to look the same as a bigger power model .If the car makers stopped that then you Could at least see the difference between the models
That is quite a low spec Merc to be honest. In the C Class you need to be getting the Premium Plus. Worth it just for the better screen, better stereo (silver speaker caps) and electric memory seats. Plus you get the touch panel over the wheel. As I say that c300 is absolute base spec.
@@charliescarmedia5603 He's talking about the different specs you can get for a C200. For example, C200 se, AMG Sport, AMG Premium, AMG Premium Plus (Burmeister sound system, larger digital display, sunroof etc). The C200 comes in all of those specs in the UK.
Beautiful motor. Feel like these cars are made for the finance market personally. I feel like if you want a proper German these days you’ve gotta buy the M/63/ RS models .
I drove a c300 and a bmw 435d xdrive and yes the merc looked better but I chose the 435 as its faster 4 wheel drive,brilliant fuel economy and a better driving car by far.
I have a 2021 sprinter van with same steering wheel and i find them touch pads on steering wheel not good, when changing speed on cruise control always seem to touch that to and change something
The problem with Mercedes and I also think Audi and BMW is that they are too accessible due to leasing. I believe when B.I.G. was rapping about it in the 90s and you had a Mercedes, you're somebody.

I cant see a courtesy car being a good example of a Merc, definitely cant see it being well spec`d, probably not even an amg never mind premium or a premium plus. And how can a car have too many gears? mine is a 9 speed auto and you don't even notice it changing gears, so how is that an complaint? And why do you not like economy gears for low full consumption when cruising? You also know if you put the car in sport mode it turns off the economy gears?
@@bengenovese6591 Ive never heard of anywhere giving out fully spec`d Merc`s as courtesy cars, i don't believe that for a second, when i needed a courtesy car it was a cdi, lowest spec possible, and that's because i point blank refused the ds3 they were trying to palm me off with
The interiors on these are visually stunning. But when you start poking around and feeling the materials. The quality is nowhere near that of the equivalent BMW or Audi
I actually really like these. My dad owns one of these but as the estate version instead, it’s an AMG Line Edition 2019. If I had 28k I’d probably go for a M140i, could probably get a very nice one for that price…

I stand by what I said - this car isn't worthy of the AMG moniker.
It’s not all about power to some people ffs… do you think a middle aged lady is gonna care about having 500 horsepower in her car? Probably not. That’s actually quite a good power figure for that price. Similar to the golf gti with cloth seats and 230 ish hp …

Felt the same when after owning a Clio 172 and a Mazda MX5 NB i jumped into a BMW 325i Coupe E92 with an Auto box. Very pretty, very comfy, very good and quite capable but it was just missing something. Sold it and got myself a Clio mk3 200 with a cup pack. Not a faster car, not an objectively better car but the joy of driving is back.
Bmw 140i are for children and man with a mid life crises, the thing the car is messing is the digital cockpit. But this is a well rounded machine make no mistakes about that. I think the title of this video needs changing!!!
I can put my finger on it mate. Im in germany got a 2009 honda accord 2.4 sounds the same..4 banger...here they are trying hard to cut emissions..thats it. No one really drives german cars anymore. Not reliable like they used to be n too expensive to repair...but beautiful. Anyone who has a german car has another for the winter. Sucks cos they still phenomenal looking cars
Hi Calvin lovely videos you're doing but I was so interested when you started e46 touring m3 project, and now it feels long time forgotten 😐😐 is it ever gonna be any progress on it lad or its a failed project for some reason unfortunately? Everything happen in life so it's not the end of the world , but would love to hear what's happening? Couldn't you make short quick video to update everyone, not to respond to this personal comment only. Thanks and good luck to you.
I genuinely think the newer c class coupes are some of the best looking cars on the road. When it comes to premium looks Mercedes has BMW/Audi smashed in my opinion. I doubt I'd go for the C300 though - best dishing out a few more £££ and getting a C43. (If you can't get the C63)
@@johnguidetti5839 Mercedes hasn't been a premium brand for over a decade. It's just a mass produced Uber car nowadays for low class people to pretend they're wealthy in.
Calvin quick question how much is the value of your total stock at binca i work as a valeter for motor match and they have roughly 2million at 1 small site so got me wondering.👍👊
Test drove one and couldn't wait to hand it back. The drive felt dead in comparison to so much else out there. Paying big bucks for sorty bumpers and lights and uprated interior. Not worth it. In 10 years they'll be like the the millions of c classes that are worth nothing. How can merc justify those prices. E class, S class or C63/C63s all day long. Back in the day you knew what was on the road because it said so. Now 2 litre is badged as 300. Wtf and has the words AMG LINE 😆 rip of manufacturers making fancy names.
Its not like i do not want to like your video, its youtube that will keep pushing more car videos in my youtube feed and I wont be able to stop watching..
So I have a decision between one of these, an S3/Golf R, g20 320i or this. I am leaning for the c300 to be honest but could possibly get even a a250 instead. Any advice for me?
All very different cars (besides s3/golf r). A250 and c300 are quick but less intends for hard driving. Golf r is very dull and drab. S3 if you ask me …
Have similar steering wheels on a fleet of works Sprinters. All 20 plates. The steering controls all failed. Build quality poor for such a premium badge .
The retail value of this car is £28,750. What would you buy instead?
435/m240

It's good there's finance deals out there but best when your young to have an investment behind you first before taking a committed expenditure
I have a 21 plate c300 outside my house to deliver to Mercedes slough tomorrow nice car but what I don’t like is the delay on the gearbox all new Mercedes are the same select Drive and nothing for a couple seconds
Hello everyone, please tell me what the name of the rims ???
Looks nice. Didn't notice much difference in the interior. Would be nice to see all 3 parked together. What was the silver model?
There is no difference in the interior, just an updated infotainment system
They are slapping the amg name on every thing would not touch post 2018 Benz. Never touch a c class
I can tell you what it is that does not make them feel premium.... the build quality. It is horrendous.
Felt the same when after owning a Clio 172 and a Mazda MX5 NB i jumped into a BMW 325i Coupe E92 with an Auto box. Very pretty, very comfy, very good and quite capable but it was just missing something. Sold it and got myself a Clio mk3 200 with a cup pack. Not a faster car, not an objectively better car but the joy of driving is back.
Sold a 2.0tfsi dsg fr leon stage one and bought a 325i e92 and felt the same, think stage 1 +dsg and turbo made all the difference.
Mans sounds like Ali G lmao
Where can i buy that front lip??
This or a bmw 430i (2.0)???? As I’m between these two for my next car, I have a 1 series atm and love the way it drives
Horrible white around the wheels
What brand is the front lip from? Looking for a lip but can't find anything for the facelifted C205.
Bmw 140i are for children and man with a mid life crises, the thing the car is messing is the digital cockpit. But this is a well rounded machine make no mistakes about that. I think the title of this video needs changing!!!
Calv can you do a vid on a scirocco ?
I can put my finger on it mate. Im in germany got a 2009 honda accord 2.4 sounds the same..4 banger...here they are trying hard to cut emissions..thats it. No one really drives german cars anymore. Not reliable like they used to be n too expensive to repair...but beautiful. Anyone who has a german car has another for the winter. Sucks cos they still phenomenal looking cars
Hi Calvin lovely videos you're doing but I was so interested when you started e46 touring m3 project, and now it feels long time forgotten 😐😐 is it ever gonna be any progress on it lad or its a failed project for some reason unfortunately? Everything happen in life so it's not the end of the world , but would love to hear what's happening? Couldn't you make short quick video to update everyone, not to respond to this personal comment only. Thanks and good luck to you.
Think they could’ve integrated the screen a bit better…
I genuinely think the newer c class coupes are some of the best looking cars on the road. When it comes to premium looks Mercedes has BMW/Audi smashed in my opinion.
I doubt I'd go for the C300 though - best dishing out a few more £££ and getting a C43. (If you can't get the C63)
Mercedes and Premium? Hahaha they have as much class as a Peugot, common as muck nowadays.
@@t8506 Because Merc is popular doesn’t mean they ain’t premium their in the business to sell cars right…?
@@johnguidetti5839 Mercedes hasn't been a premium brand for over a decade. It's just a mass produced Uber car nowadays for low class people to pretend they're wealthy in.
@@t8506 They’ve always been mass produced cars like Audi or Bmw you silly or something lool
@@t8506 C class coupe Uber yeah
I would love an Lexus ISF , possibly a GSF for that price
I’m stuck between getting this car or the a class w177 for my first car🤕
Always thought the infotainment system in the Mercedes looks like someone got an ipad and glued it to the top of the dashboard
Yessss. Can't wait for the M240i
Calvin quick question how much is the value of your total stock at binca i work as a valeter for motor match and they have roughly 2million at 1 small site so got me wondering.👍👊
If ever there was a shady chav used car dealer 🤣 and he pronounces coupe as coop 🤣🤣🤣
You just can’t make a 2.0 four pot sound good. Won’t be getting rid of my straight six for a long time yet.
Yo Calvin pls do a video in the banger if the week on the mk6 st
Test drove one and couldn't wait to hand it back. The drive felt dead in comparison to so much else out there. Paying big bucks for sorty bumpers and lights and uprated interior. Not worth it. In 10 years they'll be like the the millions of c classes that are worth nothing. How can merc justify those prices. E class, S class or C63/C63s all day long. Back in the day you knew what was on the road because it said so. Now 2 litre is badged as 300. Wtf and has the words AMG LINE 😆 rip of manufacturers making fancy names.
The thing is he dont even know that that car has (lonch controle) its called starting help remps up to 2.5-3k rpm and ripps completely
lets be honest.. its just a diamonds grill on the wheels...
hey. really like the spreadsheet but its impossible to tell what age the car is from looking at those figures. Love the vids tho!
apart from some...or is it that im just not looking properly
Its not like i do not want to like your video, its youtube that will keep pushing more car videos in my youtube feed and I wont be able to stop watching..
So I have a decision between one of these, an S3/Golf R, g20 320i or this. I am leaning for the c300 to be honest but could possibly get even a a250 instead. Any advice for me?
Had all of them… s3 all day long
S3 no brainer
All very different cars (besides s3/golf r). A250 and c300 are quick but less intends for hard driving. Golf r is very dull and drab. S3 if you ask me …
@calvinscardiary is this factory colour?
Any update on the damaged golf r?
Have similar steering wheels on a fleet of works Sprinters. All 20 plates. The steering controls all failed. Build quality poor for such a premium badge .
