A3 saloon is not a competitor for the C class.
Since when does the C-Class compete with an "Audi A3 Saloon"? I assume he meant the Audi A4.
No :) he ment the a3
I think the interior with the auto transmission looks so much nicer.
❤

It is sooo annoying you keep comparing Cclass with A3. A3 is a rival for CLA while A4 is the same class as 3 series and C Class, even if it is due for a new generation.
You should call this channel 'no idea what car'.
IMO this car looks so much better than the equivalent 3 series and A4 inside and out even in 2019.
I am looking at a 2015 220 AMG Line 2.2 cdi, great prices too at £15,000 50k miles.
It's Dawson hey could you tell me if you bought the car? I am currently looking at a 2015 220 amg line cdi 2.2 120k kilometers ran. Give some feefbakc plz or pm me
what an awful review, did he really say it gets noisy on the motorway?
*Mercedes' new C-Class* needs to be nothing less than brilliant if it's to beat rivals from Audi, BMW and Jaguar. Is it?
*Watch our video review to find out.*
#Mercedes #Audi #BMW #CClass #3Series #Jaguar #XF
I love this car
With any. Who
is better than bmw f30 ?
It's a compact S Class with a crazy price, the BMW 3/4 Series drives better and the Audi A4 offers a better value (next gen model right around the corner), so the does one thing well it's more luxurious than the BMW or Audi, the Jaguar XE not out yet, but with looking like it will be the lightest in class, by a lot, tough to say, tight the three German compact luxury sedan are the same, but completely different the drivers will pick the BMW, value buyers the Audi and people that want luxury the C, three completely different car, meaning it's not bad or great, note just talking about these four, you guys left out the Cadillac ATS and Lexus IS, which completely changes the argument
Cadillac doesn't sell cars in the UK and the Lexus GS (not the IS) finished last in a recent group test we did on the Audi A6, BMW 3 Series and C-Class.
Audi A3 = BMW 1 and 2 = Mercedes-Benz A, CLA, GLA
Audi A4 = BMW 3 = Mercedes-Benz C
+John Doe Wrong!
Audi A3 = CLA Class
Audi A1 = BMW 1 Series = A Class
Audi A4 = BMW 3 Series = Mercedes Benz C Class
Audi a3=mb a/cla=bmw 1 series
audi a4=mb c class=bmw 3 series=jaguar xe=lexus is
audi a6=mb e class=bmw 5 series=jaguar xf=lexus gs
audi a8=mb s class=bmw 7 series=jaguar xj=lexus ls
Not a Mercedes fan here, but this C-Class looks very good and the interior design is excellent. Personally I would still take a BMW 3 Series, but I´m sure many company drivers will be more than happy to spend time in this C-Class interior - Though get the upgraded air suspension and choose an automatic and it´s all well and dandy.
the infotainment system screen looks like a bit of an after thought to me.
The C class competitor is the A4, not the A3 saloon (there is the CLA for that). A deeply flawed review, which as with all What Car? reviews, seems to be pro VAG, anti Mercedes. For a proper in-depth review look at somewhere like Autogefühl.
the technical definition is a little bit different, the Torq may be higher, on renault is 350 nm if a remember right
Best review so far
Nice review. I think you shouldn't be comparing the C-class with A3, it's rather a A4's rival.
This is the first review that it didn’t do well. Every other critic gave it great reviews.
Is it possible to add the digital cockpit on this model?wıthout buyıng The facelift
Hi What Car, out on the road, which car out of the C Class 2013 model and a 2013 Audi A5 S Line has the quietest cabin? i like low road noise out on the road.. the quieter the better... can anyone help me with their feedback?
Bad review...
I am thinking of getting the c class 1.6 litre diesel I don’t know if that’s good or a bad choice any help?
you cant compare 3series, c-class and a3, a4 tho
Anyone experienced with the C180 petrol? Looking at a 2014 model, just for around town.
Good Review
Does the 200, 220 and 250 costs 1k pounds more than each other respectively?
who is the manufacturer of the airbag
Well done.
omg...i want this saloon
Could you be pleased to tell me why the hell you tested a C200 Bluetec with manual transmission? Mercedes will sell one c class like that.
lol good comment
No offence ! U are talking too much with less information , it's a car review (economy , practicality, ect) not some lecture, pardon if I'm rude
I don't like the location of the Satnav it seems like a Afterthought
it might be perceived like the driver forgot his Satnav , as result thief's might brake your windows attempting to take it out
They obviously don't like this car...
Im thinking of odering a c220 and I'd like to know if the heat and noise insulating glass is worth it. Im particularly worried about reducing the cabin noise.
Is that 1.6 engine from Renault?
How much is it
I’m buying this next week, can’t wait 😍
Update, I’m sitting in the car rn
Im buying it soon too , can you tell me about it ?
Clark Kent drives perfectly, been a good few months and haven’t experienced a single problem with it. Infotainment system is great, connects perfectly with bluetooth. Sensors are also nice. It has an indicator for when you’re too close to a car on a road. Parking camera is a great tool as well. Overall it’s a very nice car to own, you’ll love it
@@barrytheiguana675 thanks for the input 👍
Clark Kent all good bro, enjoy your new car!
Nice review. But comparing this C class with any Jag XF is no sense i guess
The 250 is definitely worth the extra £1000... who ever hasn’t driven a 220d and a 250d would never know the difference.
I have a 250d and I wouldn’t change it for most cars out there
Looking into 250d . What's real world economy figures?
I didn't understand why you are nice review by the way but comparing C class to A3 instead of A4
Other c classes I've seen don't have the same interior as this one. This one seems to have a hump like center console, while all other c classes have a swooping, fountain like design. Could someone please explain this bewildering situation?
Coz its manual :)
Its an XE competitor not an XF
Good 👍🏻
cool!
Just watched the carbuyer review then yours. Can you explain how caybuyer fella was waxing lyrical about how quiet it was then you say it's really noisy. Where is this discrepancy coming from??
Under the hood.
Look at the size of that Bezel on the screen!! Looks like a tablet from 2009 LOL. Plus its not touch screen. That would totally prevent me from buying this car. Rest of the car looks gorgeous though.
Audi A3 Sedan,,Is it really that expensive..... that's Cla competition........well the c-class is selling like hot cakes....its got such an amazing presence... but you need to have the LED headlamps to get the true beauty of this car...interior is top class...art.... Can't wait to see Audi's A4 response!
I dont know why I'm watching this. Cus I know I wont even buy it
@Jasbinder Singh I meant I don't really like the c-class lol
1,6 DCI is from renault , catch that
the a3 saloon is aimed at the cla! The a4 is meant to rival the c-class!!
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
If it is the version in the video, it is W205. If it is the model before this, it is the W204.
Meh, I could care less if the passengers in the rear can get in and out easily. If I'm buying the car then the only position I care about is the driver's seat.
Exactly you tell them fucker
I wonder why anybody would think the iDrive is an easier interface~ not better, easier
the amount of time i heard complaints about the the transmission tunnel is just too damn high. i just saw you move from the door seat to the middle seat with absolutely no effort, and your leg position was normal.... every review i see makes a big thing about that tunnel... it's starting to be quite pathetic actually.
The only other car makes you can compare with Mercedes is BMW, BMW is usually for non calming down persons (and who thinks they are car racers) now because I'm a motorcycle racer and know what actually racing is I found Mercedes of this particular class the best cat to drive and enjoy it, and I feel sorry about all other BMW car drivers, who usually behave themselves as "professional" racers, where in reality they have no clue at all what it is racing on the circuit and how tough it is in real world. Audi - good car, but they have plenty to do - to get to the same level as Mercedes and BMW produce, you cannot compare Jaguar or any other car, purely because they are completely different :)
Jaguar XE is the new benchmark in this class, everything else is second best...
agree, looks classier too especially in all black with chrome grill
Make Over Upgrade
70mpg to real world 40mpg. How do car companies come up with the exaggerated figures
xdaeq2 The figures are all calculated in an official government test, rather than one set by the car companies. Still, we don't reckon they're that representative of real-world driving, so we do our own tests. Take a look at whatcar.com/truempg for more information.
His pants seem really low lol
This guy complains about the space situation in the rear? Hey buddy, it's not much different back there in the Audi A4 and BMW 3-Series. It's adequate for small adults or children, and most buyers will accept this. Some cars are even worse in that regard (Lexus IS comes to mind).
every 2 min you said bmw ! is it an ad for bmw ?
No touch screen? Camaaaaaaaan man. It's a C class for crying outloud.
Just Mercedes Benz has to community..
70 miles to the gallon?? what??
Why is the A3 mentioned repeatedly? Surely the A4 is the nearest rival? Also, that satnav screen looks like an afterthought and why isn't it touch screen in this day and age (who wants to faff about using a wheel and mouse pad)? Surprised they didn't mention the 1.6 diesel is a Renault unit. Nice car otherwise!
Do you think that Mercedes picked the renault engine because it was a piece of crap? Let's not forget that Renault made the engines that won the F1 Championship in the last four years! BMW, Audi, Lexus or Jaguar can't even dream about that!
audi and bmw also don't have touchscreens!!
cristiandemirel1918 Hold your horses there buddy! Just because renault made the engines that won the F1 championship, it doesn't prove anything! There's too many variables including the conditions, the tyres, the driver etc. And lets not forget, Audi has won the 24 hours le mans countless times, BMW produce some of the most powerful engines out there atm and then you have Lexus for their impressive engine refinement and reliability.
Rayaan Shaikh not to mention the fact that the French introduced to market the first diesel car! I'm not saying that BMW, AUDI or Jaguar can't build engines, just that Renault can mingle with the best of them when it comes to engines!
I agree with the A3 comparison, that's just wrong. I haven't decided what I think about the satnav screen yet but I have a BMW 3-series and I'm glad it doesn't have a touch screen. idrive is so easy to use and I don't have the problem with greasy finger prints on my screen.
Well under 10 seconds is not that slow..
This is 2015
Hi What Car, the review sucks. I'm in the market for small luxury sedan but once the reviewer compares this c class to audi a3, it's very hard to take the review seriously. Another thing, please avoid to use the cheapest tester there is (diesel-manual). None of us potential buyers would be interested in buying the cheapest option, unless you're reviewing small japanese hatchbacks.
cervacio Sorry to hear you didn't like it. By the time we film a review we will have driven as many versions of the car as possible, but other factors mean we can't always film the perfect option. And our research shows that people consider all manner of cars, rather than just the ones traditionally considered rivals, so we are just trying to put things in context for as many people as possible.
cervacio he is testing the amg with night pack...not the cheapest one
German and British design of "luxury" is unsurpassed
Why is the guy whos fairly tall sat on top of the steering like a chicken. No one drives all tight and rigid.
***** Hey there, how tall are you? So I get a sense of the room space in the back! PLEASE AND THANKS.
Systolic120mmHg Tom is about 182cm, or 6ft 0in
Mercedes Benz holding it's value, LMAO. I love that Mercedes Benz value drops like a rock, so I can get one a lot cheaper used with low mileage.
Bull Bear Portfolio all cars drop price 50 percent 2 years after
Had the C220 as a company car, the worst car I here ever had. Road holding terrible, gears box poor feel ,, uncomfortable on long journeys, MB service terrible auto start stop stopped working after 5 months and despite a number of visits to the dealer who promised that it was fixed it still didn't work . Would never recommend this car
It is a darned nice car. If it was my money I would buy this car over it's rivals.
When you will realize that you are driving on wrong side of car and road??
Wow he dislikes Mercedes :(
i hate that screen, it looks like a cheap tacky add on from halfords
DONT BUY IT THEN
In all honesty not a bad looking car but the interior just awful. Those silver bits are not long lasting, the display is 100pc amateur hour, everywhere else is full of cheap plastic. Mercedes hasn't engineered a new engine for ages. That's just the c class, don't get me started with that tragic POS they call the E class.
Am I the only one that doesn't like the rear exterior design? I find it ugly looks Japanese.
I HAVE THIS CAR !!!!
Me too :D
Me three
The worse car in my life was mercedes c class w203.Electrical problems all the time,the rust was everywhere.I wouldn't buy even a vacuum cleaner from Germans anymore.Germans should learn from Japaneses how to make a quality car.
This review is boring and is not at all informative for American consumers.
I drive on the left side in my country here in Idaho but you drive on the right side in your country I bet it's super awkward on your first time to drive one of those cars that has the steering wheel on the right side instead of the left as the same for me to you.
If you like this beautiful Merc and want to know about it a lot more than a short review can get you, see my channel and start a Mercedes C-Class tour :) I'm a happy owner and truly impressed by this masterpiece!
Ok a3 is better. You know better
This reviewer makes you feel depressed. You start feeling very lonely listening to him - like the whole world is made of equally boring, unimaginative, drab, old-stereotype rehashing people as he is. Sad world, indeed.
Terrible screen to frame ratio
Mercedes has got greedy, and has ventured into models they simply can not compete with. Value for money has simply gone west for this company. The high end standards has lost its appeal. The new venture into the average car sector!! well its over priced for sure. And according to media reports not very good. Mercedes do not even offer a 7 year warranty on a S CLASS.???
They completely and utterly fucked up the C class. This thing looks like a rounded camry now, the tail lights are absolutely horrid. All the sport hard-edged style is GONE and replaced with a rounded cheap look. Same with the circular A/C vents, makes it look like an airplane cockpit not a luxury car.
Old people and Arabic taxi drivers will love this, but my money would be on the trendy new Jaguar XE, much more appealing to people who don't want a coffin on wheels!
I like Mercedes but... They have ruined the rear of the C-class
Mercedes Benz C 63 AMG best buy.
9 th
If you are old and boring. This car is for you.
first! BR BR HUE HUE HUE
Podaaa
They obviously don't like this car...
