Our reviews give you two perspectives. Jakub takes the perspective of the car enthusiast, while Yuri represents the interests of the general consumer. You won't find details about engine compression ratios here, instead you'll have real world opinions on what it's like to drive and own cars. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Too much technology? Just the right amount of technology? Millenial Driving Machine?

What did you guys think of Seattle?
@@maxswenson7933 loved it
Please review the New BMW 3 series ...
Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
And love u both...
That Skynet test creeped me out a bit, so lets dial back the tech a bit before Mercedes becomes our Robot Over lords.
All that safety technology but the driverd will crash because they are playing games with their gimmicky infotainment and augemented reality instead of paying attention to actual reality. Absolutely decacent and retarded. Just because technology makes something is possible doesn't mean that we should do it. What's next, wearing a VR helmet while driving and while being in VR playing with the infotainment system of the VR car??? Give it a fe years and people will get stuck in the VR of the VR of the VR simulation of their car without even knowing it.
You can take Yuri and Jakub out of Canada, but you can’t take the Canada out of Yuri and Jakub
I can't believe you guys have only 300k subscribers. Your reviews are genuine, funny, informative and my favorite procrastination tool ever :) sending love from America!
They'll hit 1 million by Jan 2020
But once ppl hit 1m. They suck. So... 😐
These guys won't, they have different personalities, being canadian helps too
@@supra2k8 hopefully
Im literally putting off my calculus homework to watch these guys lol
“How may I help you “
“I want to review you”
😂😂😂 idk why I found that soo funny
Bro... terminator eye. Nice editing.
TurgBurglar dun dun dun du du
That was very cool! :D
I thought it was HAL from 2001
They always have great edits! The Volvo thor lights was one of my favs...
wasn't an edit...
I love how frequently you guys upload videos and more importantly how the quality only seems to get better. Keep it up!
Haven't even watched the whole video yet but rest assured the like button has already been smashed
Thanks a lot, now I can't hit the like button, you destroyed it! 😞
@@groovymotion5706 sorry sorry but I watched the whole thing now, the destruction of the like button was not in vain
Exhaust Sports Auto you can feel free to go to my channel and do some smashing of those like buttons. Just saying.
You guys are great at these reviews, basically always. Good dynamic, informative and entertaining.
I just want to say the coordination of the shutting doors with the drum kick at 0:08 was immensely satisfying. Love your attention to those little details!
I think now Mercedes is up of any premium European carmaker, its awesome. Regards from Argentina. Excellent video like always guys!
Who does your rolling car shots? It looks so good
We do everything ourselves 🙂
@@TheStraightPipes That is amazing. Really love em all.
@@TheStraightPipes But HOW??? Jakub usually drives the rolling shots and you have a camera car, so Yuri must be driving that - who is filming? Even everydaydriver's channel has a guy to drive the camera car. I mean you dont have to explain your magic to me, but you had people helping you film before, so I am just dumbfounded by that statement and cannot wrap my head around it. Sure you could have a static camera mount on the other car or out the back and insert the frame in post production thus making it look like the camera is on a crane by letting it wander over the picture, but it would be a lot and I mean a lot more work to do that... and it still doesnt explain how you turn the angle in some of these shots.
It's literally always just us 2. Unless we have another random person to help drive a car that we physically can't be in 3 cars at once. The rest of the answer is top secret
@@TheStraightPipes It is aliens, yep aliens it is! :D
This review was done in America and yet was still so Canadian at the same time.
Beautiful Mt. Rainier in the background.
Great video again! The part where the sun perfectly reflects of the star on the front, superb. Also perfect capture of the interior details and having the screen there to see while you talk about it, amazing. Must have been a lot of work to film all of it at the same time and put it together. Funny how you only took about 13 minutes to film the exterior of the car and switch drivers according to the car's clock between 11:19 and 13:57 :D :D :D
Every Video, the camera work & editing is done to perfection
Placing the one piece gauge cluster and center screen to block the camera that shooting them is a very nice trick. Took me a long time to figure it out. This is one of the reasons why I like every video in this channel beside the reviewed cars.
Really liked the review. The best part was cool mountain roads/views )) And i forgot already what car was reviewed.
But that is another high quality video from TheStraightPipes, thanks guys.
Awesome review! Super detailed and covered alot! Thanks! Nice editing too! I had 2 for 2 days. loved it!
Your reviews are award-winning! You should have at least 3 million subscribers! Great work!! And i love the robocop editing!( mind-blown!)
Loved the red eye look on the headlight when asking about Skylab. Seems to be a very futuristic car and excellent for nerds.
Guys...super awesome review. Not sure if you guys were messing around with the exterior features and how you guys were showing them off. I LOVE IT!! Keep doing it!
Even while vacationing, when straight pipes video comes up, I watch!
As usual: great job guys! Greetings from the city where A class hatch is made;)
Your videos are getting better and better every week! Seriously.
You guys are the best reviewers. Keep it up!
Love the thorough tech overview! Well done!
Literally *the best* automobile channel on TH-cam!
You guys will blow up quick on the subscriber for sure. Real people giving straight reviews in a entertaining manner. Nice work guys 👍 from California
Thanks
OMG!!!! I'm from Yakima and you two drove on my favorite local back road =)
You have the sickest back roads
That is some beautiful scenery. Totally made for some awesome and relaxing driving.
Great video guys!!! Loving the augmented reality sat nav!
I love seeing no hate against these guys, it’s awesome and it’s such a good channel with a great community. Keep up the great work you guys are fantastic!
Been anticipating this review for sooooo long
This has to be one of the best and the most meticulous of the MBUX and the 2019 A Class, and you guys nailed it!
Brilliant video as usual! I am definitely getting this in 2020 :D Regarding road noise, I think it'll be better with 18" rims.
Whoa 300K subs! Nice work, guys!!
These guys are freakin wayyyy cool. Why haven’t I run across this channel earlier. The review is perfectly informative and their personalities are entertaining! I’m subscribing.
Thanks! Share the videos so your friends don't miss out either 😉
TheStraightPipes Absolutely will do!
You guys rock! Love the review and I love Canada!
Another great video! Love the style of that baby merc! Any diesel models, (Like the CLA 220d etc)
"I would prefer to treat my robots like robots." Lol we're living in the future. Great review as always! You guys are the best
Kindly include other aspects like rear passenger seat comfort in the review just like box test. Other than that you guys are terrific.
We do that often. Don't skip any parts of the videos
Check out the channel Alex On Autos. He is great too, and covers all that stuff
@@kolt9051 Thanks
Whoa...where'd the extro go? I was so ready to groove to the StraightPipes extro music.
great video and great review guys!! and if you have a chance to review the 2019 Acura ILX when it's out in the market, I would love to appreciate it. thank you.
Actualy.. is perfect. the MBUX system has a prespective voice recognition so when you said, open the passenger's heat seat, it opened the drivers heat seat and that was correct becoze it understood that the command came from you that you were at the co driver seat. Anyway, amazing video guys you did a really good job. im expecting mine in september!
When I see so much technology in a car, I always remember how proud my dad was when he first bought a car with an « auto-reverse » cassette player! He always listened to the same cassette and knew perfectly the last song on each side and at the end of it he used to say : “look, this is magic, it changes the side alone”! I wonder what he would say about “Hey Mercedes, can you cut my hair”!
Jakub's slap at steering 😂😂👌
If the sedan is that noisy... imagine what it’d be like in the Hatchback. Great and thorough review. Well done. Thanks.
i was waiting for this i love this car
I’m REALLY hyped for this car!! Just wish the hatch would come to the states.
A year later ....tadaaaa it's here now lol
I have one right now as a loaner and it is surprisingly fun to drive on back roads.
I'm happy you made it down to Washington to do some work! I'm a relatively new viewer and really enjoy your personalities. You guys remind me of my friends and I. Great videos, great content, keep it up! I have a suggestion if you're ever down in the area again if you're testing a more sporty vehicle as far as roads are concerned: the Olympic Peninsula in Western Washington. Basically, highway 101 loops all around the Olympic Peninsula taking you around the mountain ranges and all around the northwestern peninsula of Washington. It's an incredibly scenic drive with vistas, lakes, mountains, enormous old growth trees, and intense twisty roads. There are many areas to branch off the beaten path and find other nice and twisty roads. I'd love to see you guys drive spiritedly through that area. There's a ton of places to visit as well along the route. Cheers, fellas!
You guys have awesome roads. Thanks
Loved the intro!!!
At first, i thought this review was to long, however, it was very interesting and creative. God job
Hmmmm. I'll need to figure out how to import a hatch, AMG version from Canada.
Great job guys, keep up the awesome work!

Just got my A200 AMG and im in love with it
Nice
Welcome to Seattle!
Enjoying all of your reviews.
If you’re still in town and craving sushi, hit me up 🍣
WOW, this Skynet 2019 looks great
You guys are awesome!
I’d like to see the AMG version up against the RS3. That would be enjoyable for you and us!!
Really good review. It’s like a new smart car, going from Blackberry to smart phone.
I was very sceptical towards the big screens of E and S class, but after a recent 2000+ km drive in an E220d 4Matic I changed my mind.
They’re not too bright at night, are not overloaded with unnecessary informations and are very, very easy to read.
The only big problem is access to one of the most frequently used function - skipping a track. I dealt with it using the middle console touchpad, but lack of a simple button is infuriating.
Thank you for making this review. I love the car and the way you guys do the reviews . I already ordered My A220 With almost all the options they have. I can't wait.
Angel 0202 How long do you need to wait?
@@chazyeast6819 My dealer told me 6 to 8 weeks..
Angel 0202 wow wow im jelouse!
You should make a video i want to see :)
@@chazyeast6819 I will once I get it. Keep tune...
@@angelsreview25 did you get the car yet?
This car looks amazing
lucky to live in Canada for that hatchback
"It augments it --- into reality"
Yuri 2018
Very entertaining and full of knowledge aswell! :D
I just got my baby a week ago..and let me TELL YOU!!!!!
She is amazing .. the technology is beyond anything and I couldn't be more pleased.
It's weird how Canadians and Americans say 180 hp is "slow". It's more than enough. We have C180s with 156 hp and a C Class is heavier and that is more than enough. 0 to 100kph in 8.5 seconds feels perfectly swift enough in a C Class. This will therefore also feel good.
SDav21 yeah I’m german and hearing 180hp is not enough is funny. For me 180hp is more than enough to hoon it around
Yuropoor mindset.
Damn that must suck. 5.5 to 6 seconds to 100 kph is adequate/quick but NOT fast. The 330i is adequate. The 340i is quick. The M4 is fast. 8.5 seconds sounds fckn awful.
It's all because how America has told us for decades that power is everything. Where as me, it's more about the cornering
Im from uk 180hp is enough for 1200kg's otherwise, ZZZZzzzz
I had to hit the like button for the screaming about subscribing and notification bell🤣👍🏾
Wow love that nav system that’s how all future systems should be
Cant wait until these drop in January 😍 would look bomb with red seats
Ordered mine! Delivery in January 2019.
You are amazing but i only watch when it is mercedes, but you are doing a fantastic work together, one question how do you get a big 63 on the display when it was showing the speed ?
Great review.
I am late 50s and have one. You need to come over to Australia and teach me how to use it. LOL.
I will put 4 days aside.
My brain hurt hearing about all the tech options! Thanks for making me feel old guys 👍🏻😂
I’ll be getting this on my 28th birthday this year! I’m also getting the 64 ambient lighting!
Good stuff
I'd still rather have an A250 hatch, though I think I saw one on dealer plates at the 404 exiting onto Woodbine/Steeles a few months back.
Love these guys.
Hey guys! I'm from Mexico and casually I live in Aguascalintes where the A class is made, that's cool
HAHAHA after the "dont forget to subscribe" shout i swear i immediately exit full screen to subscribe 👏😂😂😂
Great video as always guys, keep it up! Although I hate to break it to you, I have been using voice commands in my 16 Camaro to do pretty much everything from changing the radio station to turning on the heated seats! :)
The upload game is strong recently boys! ❤️
Awesome review thank u
I really love the saloon! Looks cool. Amazing technology, thanks for the insightful and detailed review as always 👍
Please make a video on BMW 3 series 2019 as well
There should be a “flip-phone” version for technology challenged people.
Omg yes 😂
we have an Opel/Vauxhall brand for this kind of people ';)
Or perhaps just for people that like the vehicle for it's styling and capabilities, but can't afford thousands of dollars worth of tech doodads.
If my mom had this car she would constantly call me about it. Besides being her son I'm her technology consultant.
Harris, we are all there ;) thats why the previous A generation was responsible (if I am correct) for CRAZY change in average age of MB customer. The A class target is not your mom, or mine.. it's not even me, as I am 36yo.
Love this one: "I reached through the steering wheel, that was insanity, why was I doing this" --Yuri
I asked my dealer in the UK and weirdly you can spec a saloon (sedan) with the 19 inch multi spokes that you guys have. Only one option with wheels currently. Very annoying. Nice to see a more indepth review of the infotainment and the bizzare questions you guys threw at it. Dual map mode looks quality. Keep up the good work. P. S.... I want to see Jacob in a pink straight pipes t-shirt next time.
Can't... Sorry.... Can't spec the multi spokes
Awesome video
Honda Civic EX has ACC and Line departure option since 2016 model!
Got to sit in the sedan at the US Open Tennis Championships in early Sept. Did show some non-car poeple the Hey Mercedes feature, they were surprised :D The accent was British though.
Didn't know about the slapping feature though :)
YES, love the PNW love (I'm from Portland, just 3 hours South)!
Sucks that us Americans don't get the AMG hatch. Also FYI, the RBR channel (aka Mr AMG) did review the A 35, so check that out if your'e interested. Didn't drive it of course.
Great review as always guys. #TeamYuri #TeamInfotainment
❤️ -yuri
Please do a A35 AMG review and specifically how hard is the sport suspension... does it need the dynamic suspension for the extra cash 😁
Greetings from Bulgaria 😁
I picked one up this Monday. Love the vehicle, but boy you weren't kidding about the options tacking on. I had to forgo the appearance package as well as some other tech I wish I could have gotten (heated/cooled seats, drivers assistance) and still, the MSRP came out to $39,945 which included most of the important tech only.
How fast does it feel?
A220s don’t last long so I’m guessing you traded it in?
@@Unknownn858 It ended up being a lemon actually. Mercedes bought it back. Got a Tesla now, much better all around
@@Deriggs007 good choice man teslas are cool cars despite the hate they get
@@Deriggs007 trading my a220 in soon it has too many issues
"Blue WRW camera trick" at 1:03. Sweet!
Usually circle vents turn me off but those look awesome
this car will change the Mercedes game is pretty cool
"I want air conditioning being blown up my butt."
-Yuri 2018
An actual speechless Jakub at 12:26! Love the hatch 😍😍 can’t wait til I’m 30 to be able to afford one hahah
Pre-ordered A220!
The software for the navigation/entertainment system was built by Visteon in Sofia, Bulgaria. I think it was a Bulgarian software company - subcontractor. Throwing some trivia here :)
such a great daily driver
I”m a Senior Citizen and I love the tech, so stop generalizing LOL! Great Review as always!
