It's hard to really say which German sport sedan is the best of the bunch. We can proudly say that this 2012 C250 is the best C-Class yet and truly offers something unique for each buyer. Those in the market for a new compact sport luxury sedan have a tough choice ahead of them. Make sure and test drive all before making your decision. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Is anyone watching this in 2024?
Yuh u want one too?
Yea just found one for 4800 in Dallas
How many times did you say "Germans make you pay for everything" lol
+Chris G The number of likes you got on your comment....that many times...
Im not sure if you mentioned it in the video but do you by any chance know if german cars make you pay extra for everything?
hes stupid sometimes
They do though I’m 7 years late in answering this question 2:53
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I love the way he does his reviews. He's brutally honest, and very opinionated. Yet, he still says positive things about each vehicle he reviews.
I thought I would look back at one of your old videos. Still very enjoyable.
Glad you liked the C class. I LOVE the direction they are taking with their newer cars.
"with german cars you have to pay extra for everything" x57
Is anyone watching this in 2019?
Yup
Jus got one, yep
Yep
Brought 1 a month ago so yes.
thinking about buying one.
I wish more people thought like you. Right away people have the balls to say their Hyundai is better than MBZ, Audi and BMW just because their Hyundai is chocked full of tech one might not really use and those things don't really make the car better. I'd take a base Benz like this simply because of the solidity, safety, stellar ride and handling and refinement. Sure it will cost me a bit more in the long run but it'll be a nice ride for a very long time.
Really helpful video. Thanks for posting, I am looking at one in 2020.
Me too!
great review!!!
I love these W204s. I test drove a W203 C280 and thought it was a great little premium car. Firm yet comfy ride, quiet, smooth engine and trans, overall good quality interior despite numerous quality issues and solid feel. I hope I can own a C300 in the near future.
noticed you when back to the old way of doing reviews! Great! I liked the old way much better than the new way (hated the camera work for the Acura RLX)
Very good review! Could do one with the Coupe C250!
i love it love it i want this so bad i just was telling my family i have to get one soon! the refresh is awesome!
I literally this week, picked up a 2014 E300 4Matic Sport Sedan, ( fully loaded ) and I swear, the entire is so refined and high-end, it's like this face-lifted W204 C-Class is a shrunken E Class inside. I love BMW's too, and my G37x was more fun on the road than a basket full of Dalmations on Mtn Dew ( lol ) but Mercedes REALLY knocked it out of the park in value for this Model. I'll be honest enough as a Car Guy to say the 3 Series and G is a bit more involving, but the Quality, solidity of the chassis, and interior refinement of the Benz make up for that small deficit. Take care guys! :)
I used to like it when you held the camera POV. It's too static now and we don't get as good a view of everything you describe! Nice reviews keep it up.
Great review. He covered it all
Izbh
😐😑😕😐😁
Great review champ! Loved it and now Im gonna buy one. Thank u and keep up the good work! Tc
Ha I just watched fcb vs bvb this morning
Did you end up getting it
Beginning with the 2012 model year nav was standard on all C classes. No leather stitching because it's MB-Tex (vinyl) interior. Leather is one of those many options that this car has.
I think its a great idea to keep the indicator stalk lower. It should be much more comfortable while on the highway. It allows you to change lanes and toggle the high beams while resting your left arm on the arm rest completely.
There was a moment when driving on the highway for hours this week in my Mazda when I thought how practical it would be to have the indicator stalk slightly lower down.
Any thoughts?
Anyone watching this in 2018?
2019
Yes 2019
2020 checking in.
Might buy one
2019. Literally about to buy the V6 C250
Great video and you should do the c350
GREAT REVIEW BRO.IM LOOKING INTO GETTING THIS VERY MODEL.STILL IM UNDESISIVE.THINKING ABOUT IT STILL 😎 👍 👌
Well lets see, just purchased a 2013 C250 Sport. Ride is great and on the stiff side wonderful handling. Between the turbo and the 7 speed trans the power is effortless. Acceleration is very nice and so quick. Still have not used the Sport mode, haven't needed it. Steering is quick and nimble. Turn signal stalk is exactly where it should be. Love this car and it is going to the window tint guy soon.
Michael Hickey same luv my 250
Alejandro Navarro any maintenance problems?
Michael Hickey any update on this please ?
Guys fuck this I’m getting a corvette
gg medina hah you just gave up.
I bought an identical 2012 C250 10 years ago. I still have it, just 37k miles on it and I just discovered the rear seat armrest has cup holders! 😄
🤣
Interesting.
Actually the body style was released halfway through 2007. I remember it was February and I stopped by the MB dealership to see a load of these sexy looking cars(looked better than any other 2007 rival) and that I wanted one when I got older. Well, now the 3-series and A4 have gotten better. Just have to wait for MB to completely redesign the C-class again. Great video! :)
Well I love my 2013 C300 AMG. No matter what others think. Gets me to and from.
Very insightful
Do German cars make you pay extra for everything??? ;)
Yes
Austin Barton Sure they do.
Austin Barton u a bitch
Still better than American junk which gives you cheap plastic and no redeeming features even after you pay all that extra
Muhammad Harris Ejaz I don’t think so American cars are bad but not as bad as the German cars 🤣 I mean my uncle has 4 f150 2001 and still running like new he stilll take them to Mexico fully loaded and never break on him my dad had a expedition not a single issue either 🤷🏻♂️ I never own a Mercedes but I did own a bmw that make me never buy one ever again
Man, I have a C-class Mercedes for 8 years. I haven't changed anything and the car is perfect like the first day it came out of the factory.
I don't know how more reliable a lexus or acura can be.
Like 2 or 3 times more reliable lol
I've owned a lexus and now have a Mercedes, the lexus was bullet proof, mercedes has a few faults especially with electrics
@@TheLeGeNdPvEyeah, sure 😂😂😂
I brought this car on a impulse buy 2 years later this car has grown on me now it's a 2013 sport model. Pickup passing power love it. And rides so smooth and quiet. It's more of my weekend car or road trip ride for me. Since I did buy Pre owned came with backup camera and navigation. If I ever get rid of this car Mazda 6 2016 I would think about a swapout. I like simple dashes not so busy and this car has that feel to it and look inside. One gripe would be bigger backseat which I never gonna be back there. I always feel I am driving on clouds.
love, love this car. I feel so connected and open the sunroof vroom.. I hate the fact it has low ground clearance and the majority of C250s i've seen on the road have damage airdams. 20,000 miles still going strong and turbooo.
I mostly see damaged air dams only in Miami. Funny, everyone else has figured out how to use the neat little camera in the dash and they back their cars in.
beverns Yes, thats Mercedes fault! including fragile foglamp that break on passenger side ($500).
I love my C250 Coupe, after 2 Audis and 1 BMW I can say MB is the best interior, best command center and Stereo system with the Harman Kardon. Audi is the best on curves and BMW is the best on engine power and has more interior and trunk space. For my daily drive the C250 is great, fuel efficient and fast on mid range speed and thats what you need driving to the office and back home! Awesome AMG seats standard for all coupes!
Thanks for the comment. I might buy one.
I have a 2015 C250 Coupe..good mpg, fun to drive, good braking and steering and it has been very reliable. The Turbo four makes a good amount of flat power in a wide band of RPM.
I’m looking to get one , how reliable is the 2012 Mercedes 250c
@@joshualopez3008 I have had no issues at all with my 2015 C Class. It is fine auto.
2020, I just bought a 2012 250 and I LOVE IT!
Peter Hunsader Any updates?
@@CHIRONandADAM Runs great so far. I bought my son a 300 c also. Great rides.
any trouble with command center ?? My radio does not work - no volume. Checked reset, fuses. Still nada. Hearing fiberoptics and expensive repair. Anyone, anyone ????
Me too.
I have a 2012 c300 love it and do a video review of the 2004 c class you drove
I like the redesign of the interior of the 2012-13 models. The interior of the previous models got many complaints of being too cheap looking. I would love to have a C350 with a back exterior and beige interior with the sport package.
oh gurl... of course you had XM BPM playing on the radio. haha great review, I was actually considering a C Class but then I found an amazing deal on a 2010 Saab 9-5 and thought it would be nicer to have something that is very unique.
I really like the sound of that engine!
damn what shit do u drive then
Note that the turn-signal stalk and cruise control stalk is now reversed on the MY2013 model. I used to have a MY2009 C250 and now a MY2013 C350. Much easier to hit now it's higher than the cruise stalk, which is also now shorter (hence harder to accidentally hit)
I have a 2013 c class 250 coup ..love it ,fast and economical ...
with german cars you feel that you are driving in the clouds :)
250 is really rough you kinda feel everything
nice review, but for laughing.
If I was german, I would ask you to pay for the time I've lost.
😂
I really like these cars! :D
Thanks for the prompt reply.
The earlier face lifted C Class models have their indicator stalk there like it is shown in the video, but the later face lifted models have their indicator stalk where the cruise control of the earlier face lifted models
Glad I got the Coupe. I got mine in May used 2nd hand, the interior in the coupe is even better. I got leather stitched bucket seats that look 1000x better than the 4 door, the inside doors look way better, the backseat looks amazing, and it has paddle shifters, that this 4 door doesn't seem to have. Now planning the turbo upgrade to push it to 350HP. Oh and the only thing that is probably a bad thing about the Coupe or all coupes in general, is the rear visibility. I always had a 4 door so I had to get adjusted to the limited visibility. But it makes up for it.
Question can the backseats fit adults comfortably?
Totally agree on upgraded interior. I myself am looking for a 2 door used between 2012 and 2014. Less than 60,000 miles. One owner. I’ll find one. Just be patient. I want to keep my 2012 sport 4 door model. Just too happy with it.
Yeah, you are also right. There was a sport version too.
please review and test drive the new 328i sport line! it is definately my dream car right now haha. affordable, powerful, practical, fun, AND efficient.
The last time I drove a C300 was back in 2010 and I recall not being too impressed with it. I found the engine to be somewhat ordinary and it felt dated. The updates Mercedes made to this 2012 model make the car feel fresh again and I much preferred this C250 with its smaller 1.8L turbo engine.
the c-class is not the cheapest way to get into mercedes... the cla is ;)
haha nice vid though
***** actually YOU do your homework. if you wanna get technical, this guy is american as am I, and they don't sell the A or B class here. and actually NO! wrong - the CLA is $450 cheaper than the GLA.
+VinAr Run well the guy in the video was referring to the USA which is why I corrected him. goodbye.
+Dan Sullivan +VinAr Run
Well you both are correct and wrong. The videos from March 2013. The CLA didn't start selling in the EU till April 2013 and the US till September 2013. At the time the cheapest in the US was the C-class and Europe as said above. You think your smart trying to up a reviewer on a 3 year old video. Ego much.
Tim K it wasn't released until sept 2013 but it was announced before then, still making it the cheapest mercedes.
Also another good Mercedes is the C63 2009-2014 a naturally aspirated v8 engine, amazing sound you guys should check it out
I am seriously considering replacing my Infiniti with a C350 or a CLA. We will have to see. But I absolutely LOVE driving all the new Mercedes cars. Just solid, and smooth.
With the 2013 3 Series, BMW recently made the sunroof an option on lesser trim 3 Series and the 1 Series I believe always had it as an option. Cadillac also goes the way of making you pay extra for a sunroof on the ATS and only makes it standard on the highest trim of the CTS. The others (Mercedes included) all have a sunroof as standard. If I had the money I think I'd take an Audi A4 Quattro 6 speed with the Premium Plus package.
Just bought a 2012 C250 with 123k love it👍
123k miles on it?
@@abdifitahali7666123,000 kms or 76000 miles.
how much
Try to get your hands on the new 328i. I'm sure you'll be impressed
When you do your test drive reviews can you turn on your headlights when you drive i like to pay attention to the Gage cluster. Thanks!
Amazing car !
Could you,during the test drive,show just the view on the road,it would be awesome! Thanks
LOVE the new c250
I own a C class 250 2012 and I love it. Mine does have a back camera.
Oh! Mine is fully loaded, with heated seat, sun roof all the bells and whistles. Pre owned. Love it!
I have a 2014 C350 and they swapped around the turn signal stalk to be above the cruise control.
After 9 years this mercedes still a cool car
Should I get a C class sedan or G sedan?
Sofyan,
Would you trade a 2010 C300 4matic Luxury for this one, a 2012 C250 Sport?
Do you believe the C250 has a better engine than the C300 or should I rather go for the bigger engine?
Value your professional opinion on this one.
Thanks a million.
Thanks for the well wishes. The car is unique in that there aren't many out there. The poor resale value doesn't bother me as it is not my intent to resell the car. I am aware of the increased risk in issues with finding parts if/when something breaks but I have not had problems with my 9-3 so I'm willing to take the risk.
You can't make a bad decision with any of them as they're all good. All it boils down to is what exactly you want in a car. I think I'd take one of these or the 328i with SP.
Commonly referred to as options. If you want heated seats I recommend letting them know, they will add it in for a small fee.
super review thanx
Now one thing I missed is do a lot of things come standard or do the germans make you pay extra for upgrades? ; )
Not sure about the turbo engine but I’m happy with my 08 350
Why there is 150+ thumbs downs to thus video is beyond me. This guy is obviously not paid by Mercedes Benz. Everything he saying is up front and real
I guess thats why we didnt have it. We had the C230 YEARS ago but the C300 was base in recent years
Anyone watching this in 2020? 🥴
Here is One who just woke up and is yawning to death!
Me. I’m getting a job in January and starting to save up for it. I’ll have it by the end of next year😎👍
do honda pilot next :)
I know ... Because I picked one up last Friday :-))))
I have an 01' CL 600, and I know what you mean about the long hood and wide feel of Mercedes-Benz vehicles the steering is a bit devoid of feel but it goes very precise through corners and it gets awful fuel economy but the power is fairly good
I hope you can do an Audi A4 1.8 soon to see how it drives compared to this. :)
Bro you messed up within the first 5 seconds why not just retake lol
Great vid
there's no a or b class in the USA...however the A class variant called the CLA should arrive here sometime in a few months
I have bought a c250 cdi amg sports + model and it's looks great inside out and drive's superb you can feel the power although it's a 2.2 engine but it's great.
Definitely try to upgrade to the C 350!
+AP Car&Tech - Will this car have a lot of problems ?
nope! So far I haven't had any problems with my C 350 coupe.
+AP Car&Tech i have c63 amg and bmw m6 all of thes are good cars
BMW M power Yeah!
Review the 2009-2012 maxima sv with navigation package !
There was a C250 in Canada for quite some time. At first it was called the C230 but renamed to C250 in 2010. It had a sluggish 2.5L V6 (200hp) and was even offered with 4Matic. A friend of mine has one and even when you fully depress the accelerator nothing seems to happen. The 7AT in these Mercs are smooth but slow as hell.
Yes, a big improvement over the pre-facelift, but still too agressive styling for a Merc :o( Looks like they may remedy that with the next one :o)
This is the first year of the "C250" moniker, previously the base model was the C300 and it had a 3 liter V6. Great video btw, very nice car.
I beg to differ. I have a relative who purchased a 09 Camry in the same time I got my 09 Outlander (both new). That relative has nearly spent close to $2000 of that in unscheduled maintenance alone in her 4 years ownership. My Outlander only had 2 unscheduled garage visits in my 4 year ownership, one for bad fuel sensor and another for a loose heatshield...
PLEASE REVIEW CLA
Well you do make a good point there. Certain German cars should be better in the reliability category but I honestly think (and this is in my personal experience) that German cars aren't as unreliable as many say and Japanese cars aren't as reliable as many claim especially the ones made after 2000 when cost cutting became prevalent.
I just test-drove a couple of diesel variants of this w204 model ( here in the UK, where 80% of the cars from this era are diesels. Coming from a Lexus is250 -I really liked the steering and the handling of the C-class, the comfort and the overall posture on the road that it possess. But i just could not put up with the diesel rattling, especially on idling and on low speeds, constant rattling and reverberation and vibration. Even thought the low lev power and acceleration ( especially on the 6 cylinder diesel) - is tremendous and mind blowing. But it is really a pity that here in the UK the biggest petrol engine this face lifted version if the C-class has been offered - was the 1.6 liter 153hp engine...such a shame
Is it reliable tho?
can you do a review on the 2013 335i or the 335i xdrive model? and msport line if possible? thanks!
I thought i needed a rear camera at first but i learned to park without it. Push button is nice to have and i'd rather have it but it's not that much of a big deal than having a key start the car. Heated seats, i never even use. It doesn't heat the seats that well, you can't even tell the difference unless maybe if you drive in the nude.
funny doing a c250 vid but the 2theredline noise at the end is from a c300!!
Plz do a Audi A4 1.8T review :)
Are these reliable or should instick to the v6
Hey can you do a review of a c300.
"The hood" you don't really know where it ends...hahaha good one.
.
could you do a video on a Chevy Cruze 6MT
I guess that rule applies to the W204. I've seen W203 in a base model, elegance, avantgarde and then sport.
