I will have some kind of update coming out on the AMG soon but I'm still waiting on the adjuster to call me, hope you guys enjoy this GLC 300 review in the mean time ;)
Hey! If your AMG is totalled, here's a possible future project for your vlog. For example, if your AMG is totalled, the insurance company will sale it as a "Salvaged flood" vehicle for probably $25k to 40k. You could buy it, or buy something similar to it, and rebuild it. Then, you could use the rebuild process as a vlog project. Your vlog will blow up! You will notice that a large majority of salvaged vehicles are low mileage lease vehicles. You could show how to get an near exotic car for 40 percent less. www.copart.com/content/us/en/landing-page/copart-rebuild-challenge-winners?cid=vn_rebuild_contest_2017_winners_lp
Here's some potential vlog projects. The idea is to play with your possibilities if you find that you have options to replace your AMG before jumping back into the water:

AutoVlog film them building your engine if that's the case
I thinks that the New BMW X3 is the best in its class
Ryan Gaines They both do
i be high as hell watching his videos and i actually pay attention to ever detail
I work for Mercedes and drive these everyday. They honestly surprised me quite a bit. The 9 speed gives it a big gearing advantage with the small 240hp figure. Sport plus is also fun to use lol.
Just bought mine yesterday !! LOVE IT !!!!!!
Your such an awesome dude Mike! So glad I found your channel, big love from England!! 👊🏼
Glad I came across this video. I am looking at a now-used 2018 GLC 300 SUV and doing some research. Your question "is it worth the extra $10k" is timely since the purchase price for the used car takes into consideration the depreciation making it worth it. Thanks for the review, my mind is made up!
Same.
You don't have to worry. Everything will be alright. Be positive.
Nice video man, liked the editing. Also best of luck with your c63!
I really liked you weren't trying to sell the vehicle. Your review was excellent because it provided valuable information to the subscriber. Thanks.
Great review Mike, thanks for going back to car reviews
Nice review, Mike! One thing about Mercedes that I don't really like is how they put the big emblem in the grill; and then just 2 inches up, they put another emblem on the hood. Look forward to seeing the AMG beast back in action!
Ive always liked cars with plenty of wood trims and an overall sense of class. Only mercedes provide me that satisfaction
Awesome video Mike!! As always keep up the great work!!
Wow!! That editing was top notch
I enjoyed this review! I did my own research 2 years ago looking for a compact suv. In 2015, it was still the GLK, however. So between the GLK, Q5, X3, Escape, CX-5, Sante Fe, I ended up buying a Lincoln MKC 2.0 with the reserve package (a must for the upgraded leather!) When it comes to pricing between all these cars, especially with luxury vs non-luxury there are differences that go beyond name brand. For me one of the most important qualities of a nice vehicle is the comfort and sound deadening. From the acoustic glass and sound dampening to active noise cancellation to better suspension components most people don't notice as much as I do and therefore worth it to me. Also warranty and service from a luxury auto dealer is much nicer than others, from my experiences.
I have a Rudy Red, 2017 Lincoln MKC Reserve 2.3, AWD with 20in rims. Love it's ride, handling and power.

Already ordered my new MB 300 and is on the way from Finland, should be here in a couple of weeks. Didn't get it fully loaded but close. Can't wait 😃
Chin up, brother. Can't wait to see your car back on the channel. In the meantime, nice review.
Nice review! But the beast is always the best :) Miss those vlogs :/
The Mercedes GLC 300 is a nice vehicle in it's class. It is probably worth the extra money, though the Hyundai Santa Fe has different driving modes also. My only complaint with this vehicle would be the leg room in the second row. There is none! Mike had his knees right up against the front seat. Looking forward to hearing about and seeing the C63s.
off-topic I like your black watch and your cool sunglasses. thanks for the review of the SUV I like it.
Great review 👍🏽
cool with the review!! mercedes for life!!!
It' a nice touch to correct errors with add-in edits. shows class.
Nice thorough review
Thank you for the review. It was very helpful. :)
You're like the Holmes on Holmes of vehicles! Subscribed!
Great perspective, really appreciate contrast with the Escape.
Love the videos! Did you mean best in its class?
Well done. That looks like a great ride for the money.
My wife loves her GLC 300 4matic!
I like that your so honest!
Thanks....very helpful. I'm in the market for a new (little bigger) MB...coming from the C300. Trying to figure out if I stay with MB or move into a new brand....
One thig I don't like about benz is that the LED headlights isn't standard. Even though the halogen is rated as poor. Other companies have led or xenon standard. Especially on a premium car. Even on the GLS. Top of the line benz doesn't even have "good" rated headlights. But if u get the upgrade, man they look nice
Great review!
Good review. Thanks.
I am currently shopping for one of these coming out of a BMW 535IGT. Thank you for a very informative video. I have yet to go test drive 1 with everything going on but I am anxious to check it out. I hate the lag in the BMW twin turbos and are very curious about a 4-cylinder single turbo performance.
And you are right I would never use the paddle shifters either! Not on a 4-cylinder LOL. My husband gets onto me cuz I don't drive my current car correctly hahaha! But I'm sure he will find it just as amusing with the 4-cylinder and will probably use it anyways... he loves the sports and the manual sports modes... likes to eat my gas up!
Anyways if I end up buying one I'm going to do a review video comparing the BMW 535 GT to the downgrade?? into the GLC. I am not a fan of the X1 or X2 and I do not want a SUV SUV. I would buy an X4 GT but they only have two seat belts in the back.
Very good review,you a natural 👌👌
First comment on your channel. Brother you look sad after what happened with your AMG. Who could blame you though. Chin up you'll get her back soon enough.
Great video 👍
Second! Great vid, man! I'll send the fan mail someday..
When you somehow watch the whole video 1 minute after its uploaded
#Timetravelforreal
I just bought the GLC and I'm waiting for it to be delivered. I went with the GLC over other type cars and other brands due to the driverless technology it has. My SUV was built on September 1 and should be delivered in two weeks maybe three.
Hey, how do you like it after 6 years?
@@acooca123 My dad has it now and loves it. I have the 2023 GLE 450 now.
@@josseppie awesome, thanks for the reply! Good choice with the gle. :)
Just a tip, great vid but for some of the pans, slow down a bit, especially for the cinematic pan of the back seat around the 30 second mark
Car is Awsome good video very informative
Mike - would this compete more with the Edge - it's hard to tell size but if you're comparing with an X5 or Q5 that's more Edge territory wouldn't you say? When the wife was in the market about a year ago for an SUV we looked at the Audi, Jaguar, Infinity, Lincoln and briefly at the Mercedes (but didn't drive it or the BMW) - she ended up with the Explorer Platinum - the only negatives with rolling an Explorer is they are EVERYWHERE and the MPG is pretty bad when she (a lead foot) drives it....
Great content (as always) keep your spirits up for your AMG - it'll get resolved hopefully without too much out of pocket - when I saw the video I was hoping it was just click-bait....
Hey Mike, how about a review of the mavic pro drone? I want to buy one and would like to know what you think.
Stay strong about the amg bro. Positivity
I really like this interior color combination! I still wished Benz would make the nav screen a , "fold away" system.That would really clean up the look of the dash, my opinion of course! Of course I's rather buy the GLC over the ford escape but neither would be "my" 1st choice...
Hey Mike, my wife and I went through something similar to your situation, but I was deployed when my wife was in her first car accident in my 2014 F-150 FX4, back in 2015. The truck was sitting at a body shop for ten days waiting on an adjuster. I told my wife to call the insurance company, the person at fault insurance company, if the adjuster is coming out today or the next day. After so many calls, he made it out there and the truck was finally able to be worked on. Sucks to hear about your situation. Call everyday if you need to bro.
Years ago this was the practice of auto insurance companies. However, this may have changed. First, this process takes 30-day from the date of the incident. First, there must a finding that the claim is legitimate. And, if the claim is an act of insurance fraud. If the adjuster determined the claim is credible and not an act of fraud then the adjuster will quickly assess how much it will cost to settle the claim. If the claim is expected to end with a "Total of the Vehicle" the adjuster will determine the amount of the total. Then, the adjuster will inform his/her manager and the amount of the expected Total will be added to a fund of expected PayOuts for the month. Then, that fund is placed in 15, 20, or 30 day "interest earning" note. On the 30th day of the claim, the totalled vehicle is paid to the vehicle's owner after signing over the title of the insurance company.
The moral of the story, is for totalled vehicles, expect to be paid on the 30th day after filing the claim.
Why does USA always get funky versions of European cars? In Australia this would only come with LED lights, completely different tail lights and headlights.
I've always wondered that...but I haven't noticed any major differences on any car brands other than Mercedes. I guess Mercedes wants to cheap out here?
Sir is there any update on your AMG coupe?
Until when can I expect it to be back because like you it's also my dream car.
Looks like it's good as your c63 broke down. Now you are uploading some quality contents.
I’d have to give you a thumbs up just for the intro music
My parents are getting me this for my 17th birthday can’t wait
Cool review thanks
I just realized that you were a huge part of the reason that i bought my 16' fusion and im not even subbed to you. That's gonna change.
I miss the beast 😢😢😢
Me too..
I can't stand how Mercedes puts those ugly ass halogen headlights in the base models. It just ruins the whole look of the front of the car.
Matthew Tyler I completely agree. I understand why its done this way. But it is ugly and the adaptive headlights are very expensive but it's one of the few items that actually increases the resale value of the car.
I don't understand why dealers don't equip most of their models with the LED lights because it's only like 700 dollars
check out the European versions. the right versions. American cars always get different head and tail lights otherwise it won't get regulated.
Matthew Tyler I agree.
Damn in my country it costs $4000 to get those nice Mercedes headligts
"Hit the head on the nail" THAT must hurt😂😂
Big ass Mario at 4:15 had me dying laughing lol
awsome video
Good job,nice review
Thanks Ali !
Headlights and taillights do so much to the car... oh god, and buying a car with a base size this expensive, (not a base model A-class or something) please try to keep away from those basic halogen lights
Vincent I couldn't agree more halogen look so cheap, whenever I see one I always think wannabe who wanted the cheapest lease so the got zero options
Andres Reyes Yes, and the interiour looks just fine and it has a nice, OK powerfull engine (GLC300). Those basic halogen lights cannot tell me that this is a 2018 model if I just see them for 5 seconds passing on a road
Vincent especially on so expensive cars with big engines... I'd personally spec this car completely differently: no full electric seats, not this color inside and out, and no damn wood.. and of course LED
interestingly enough way more Mercedes have halogen lights in the US than in Europe even though in both parts leds are optional
Best looking Mercedes Suv
My wife and I test drive the car glc 43 but Realize that you cannot get air suspension without premium package two or three. And you can’t I get Android CarPlay and Apple CarPlay. Is the navigation still good and would you recommend the air suspension
I can't say I'd have a GLC. My neighbor has an ML350 (now the GLE350), and I like the space in it a lot. It's around $10k extra though for the same options
Just A Car Guy Named Tom more like 20k-25k extra.
Best feature of this one, it can drive in the rain.
Anyone else bobbing their head to the intro beat ?
The old school walk around brought me back
Looks like an awesome vehicle
Good review
Valid point about the number of gears! I too sometimes wonder the rational behind the reasoning. I get the need for extra gearing, but how many is too many?
It seems really dumb when most of us won’t ever reach that 9th speed driving in the city but the reason why is revs the lower the revs the more fuel efficient if you always keep your revs between 1 and 2k that’s the sweet spot for fuel economy at least that’s my theory
good review overall, but there's no excitement at all in his voice compared to his older review videos, even before he got the amg
Would the GLC 300 be in the same lineup as an Escape, or an Edge? The GLC looks to be a bigger vehicle over an Escape over all. Escape is a tiny little tug boat. I like my 2013 Edge, love the design of the new Edge's as well, minus the tail lights. that sharp edge causing 2 different plains is a tad silly. Also Edge's look more aggressive then the GLC 300 and the comfort is pretty spot on. Though like you said, interior is the main factor. The highest trim on a Ford will probably never be as luxurious as a Merc. Different leathers, softer materials, elegant design. Still, love my Edge :)
Thanks..Glad I went with the Audi Q5
4:21 gee, no wonder the AMG got hydrolocked. Look at that straight air intake.
It might have missed me. But why do you get loaner cars if you still have the Ford? I would personally get a loaner in this situation because I would just like the "own" a new car for a few days. And I guess in your case it's really nice to make videos about, is that the reason??
What do you think maintainence cost comparing both Mercedes and ford similar year
I enjoy your videos and I hope you get your C63AMG fixed soon.
Thanks for a great review. I think the insurance will pay say $18,000 to fix a $100,000 car. I give you a lot of credit. If that happened to my car, I would not leave the house till I got it back!
I know that you once sold fords but I was surprise that you didn't compare it to the Lincoln Mkc
Any update on your C63S hope everything is going in a positive direction
I don't have much of an update yet, still waiting for the adjuster to call
keep at them insurance companies very quick to take your money but very slow to pay out. why do they need a adjuster to see it the dealer gives them a price to fix it so they say yes or no it wont make any difference if a adjuster sees it or not. insurance companies are the biggest scammers out there
maybe you should get an amg suv. I know you like your car better. I am sorry about your car RIP. will keep watiching to see what you get next. Best of wishes to you
You mean “Hit the nail on the head” right? 🙂 . Helpful review though, thanks.
You should check out the Mercedes A45 AMG, now that´s a powerful 2.0l 4cyl engine, almost 400 hp! Does not exist in the US. Awesome car!
The Loaded escape as save sum money
You said you couldn't see yourself playing with paddles in a 4 cyl. How about a WRX? (I would hope you'd get a manual but you get the point)
No new updates and it`s the weekend.
I hope i`m wrong but I have a bad feeling about what his insurance company told him.
Your correct the best fuel mileage will not come in until you got somewhere between 7 and 10000 miles on the car. But one thing most people overlook about Mercedes Audi and BMW is these cars are designed from the beginning for European driving. And most All European countries have speed limits drastically higher than the United States. The cafe standards are adjusted to fit American roads. But if you test it for yourself you will find your best fuel economy is between 85 and 90 miles an hour. And American cars are designed to get their best fuel economy between 65 and 70.
My guess is they'll have you return this loaner once the repairs on your car begin. The warranty won't pay for the loaner when the repairs are covered by insurance.
I wish you tell us the update on your Mercedes AMG. Like if they are going to give you engine and If it is under Mercedes warranty or if insurance going to pay for it instead.
He doesn't know. Hasn't received a call. So he's as much in the dark as we are right now
I had a 2014 Ford Escape I liked it n drove good but I had a lot of problems with it
Right after ive been asking myself where's autovlog updates
More gears is good for off-road and economic. Small block more pull power with more gears.
Are you gona do another live stream soon?
What is the big difference between 2018 model and the 2019 model?
With the AMG is more fun. I can't wait to see the C63 running again. Keep it up!
Same here
in the description it says Mercedes CLC 300 4Matic review.
My uncle has a Mercedes GLC, and I have to admit, it's a nice SUV, and it's almost perfect. If it had at least 6 cylinders under the hood, it would be perfect, however it has a turbo 4 which is a huge let down. But I guess due to government regulations, they had to use a turbo 4
The glc suv from Mercedes is the perfect size.
Great car , but I prefer the X3 , let us know about your rocket car , i would like you finally get you car back and everything fine.
