With the coupe version of the superb BMW 3-Series in close competition, the new Mercedes C-Class Coupe faced a tough challenge -- but this machine has come up trumps in most areas, and it looks great. Roomy inside, and with the sort of solid build quality we've come to expect from the German company, the stylish three-door handles sportily yet cossets its occupants. The wide engine range impresses -- even if the high pricing structure doesn't: Coupes cost a premium over the equivalent C-Class saloon. The 2.0-litre 220 CDI is the top seller.

and 9 years later I can finally afford it
Same mate. Best thing about these reviews is you can come back 10 years later😂
Cheers i've got about 5 years to go
9years later I still can't 😂
I am looking to buy one now. :-)
Brought my C250 coupe in 2020 and now in 2021 it's worth more than i paid for it!! Thats a full year of living the dream and now worth more! Result.
The panoramic sunroof gives this car a high level of class
@Mr. Cairo I have the car and the Pano roof defo adds another level of class
@Gabe Landeros I'm thinking of getting this car this December. How has it been treating you?
Matt, love your old stuff as much as more recent Carwow reviews. Top shelf work, sir.
I have been given a C220(14 plate) diesel as a hire car and it has to be one of the best cars I have ever driven on the the whole ever. It just cruises around effortlessly and even though there is not that much bhp (around 190 I think) there is over 300 ft lbs of torque so it is not slow and feels way faster on the road than the performance figures suggest!
Inside it is absolutely sublime, you just sit there with your elbows up and relax into the heated seats and realize your still doing 50 mpg without having to change cogs manually!
Unreal I cant comment on running/servicing costs but this seems really good and more prestige than rivials!
To try nit pic bad points would be:-
Front and rear head room
The doors are heavy but they are large of course
It is questionable what the point is in a 3 door car this large but when you see it in the flesh it makes sense! It looks so much better than a 5!
It isn't actually that sporty but that is not the main point of this car I don't think.AMG looks but affordable average performance.
Gearbox could be more responsive/faster
Golf clubs do not fit in without the rear seats flat.
I have to give it back at some point soon lol!
Man it's one of best car revievs I have seen on YT last time
I have a 2014 C250 coupe and it has been the best car I have owned next to my Volvo S80 which wasn't near as reliable as the Mercedes. So far my favorite car .
Diesel or petrol?
@@Damjan-vg4xy petrol
still my favourite car
Test driving one today. Left my C-class sedan at the dealer for a Service and they gave me a C180 with all the bells and whistles. So far I like it. It's economical, runs smooth, the gearbox is smooth, the power is sufficient. The steering feels direct and precise. And it's also agile. Gonna play with the settings after I finish work.
I saw a black one of these in a car park today, It really looks lovely.
Looking to get one of these soon, just having trouble trying to find one with a panoramic sunroof.
oh @Matt Watson , talking so chill and music perfect match could watch all day !
Tyres are noisy? It’s called friction and required for grip. Noise level will be dependent upon speed and the roughness of the asphalt road surfaces, which are generally poorly maintained in the UK.
nice radio stations you been listening too lol
I just love the guys reviews ... I really like his sense of humor and his voice :D that's why I only watch the videos that he's reviewing
Yes exactly. Hill starts would only be a problem is the pedal was used to release the parking brake, but it isn't, so I don't really see the problem
Getting get my C Coop in 4 weeks or so. C220 CDI AMG Sport plus Auto in polar white. Can't wait!!
Damn im considering this as my first car and wondered the whole time what mat would think of this car. Completely forgot that he worked for a different company before carwow.
Are the seats meant to move forward on there own as standard? or is this an added option from mercedez benz? thanks
In all your reviews for the C Class including the latest model, you have always talked about how the steering is not aligned to the drivers setting position.
I'd like to imagine that Mercedes sees your reviews and they still say,
'We'll do absolutely nothing about this!'
Iam puzzled
I own one and love it! Great highway experience! Vroom Vroom!
Got this. C250 coupe in White with panoramic roof and love it :)
Might buy one tomorrow. Do you still have yours? If so how did it hold up?
@@robg5509did you end up getting it 🚶♂️
Won't be disappointed with the C350. The 2012+ models have 302hp and 273lbs. of torque.
Meh
@@danked6731 you wish
I leased a C250 Coupe (1.8T) for 3 years and I must say the riding quality isn't the best. However , it has a brilliant exterior and interior design . Now I have a 3 series and despite being uglier, i like it a lot more. I recommend it for driving enthusiasts.
Which year is your 3 series
@@siyabonganxusa4667 i used to own a 2006 325, 2007 323 and now i own a 2009 328 . Fabulous cars
I’m thinking about buying one of these with the 220CDI engine and 7G-Tronic tranny, since they’re getting quite cheap to buy, and they don’t sip that much. Excellent car imo.
I stumbled upon this channel last week and i'm addicted, and i'm Canadian!
Are you still watching it?
Yes ! Matt is the best reviewer of them all out in the car review world ! Matt keep going your awesome
I got a handicapp. Im 6ft4, will i fit in this car?
New c class looks like an mini S class for spoiled's, this look way better, who agree ?
yeah you right, but its the berline version hope that the new coupe looks mutch better
you're right buddy! the newer version old school looks hated by all!
Ramy Fares For Oana Oprea she would enjoy such a gift
Ramy Fares 2017c205 cpupe is an extraordinary car, that badass back, 2013 merc coupe c class is a nostalgic car and very raw
I love this
He is talking absolute nonsense....the car has hill start as standard which means the car won't roll back for a few seconds so the foot operated hand brake is no problem. Plus when I drive my c coupe the tyres are not annoying and the head room at the back is fine, not the best but not as bad as he is making it out to be!
Really nice car like how its more rare than the audi a5 and 3series coupe also i think the current 3 series coupe looks better than the new 4 series personally
really have u seen a 4 series inperson?? i test drove it last week, saw the 3 series and 4 series side by side the 3 series coupe looks shit outdated compared to the 4 series,. 4 series drives like magic,beautiful car. looking forward to m4
Been waiting for this for ages!
Love the music effect!
This is the first time I've seen a new C class with the lighting package instead of the cheap halogen in the reflector bowl headlight setup
My car since one year, I´m still very happy with it!
Do you still own this car. If so how many ks are on the clock. And have you had any issues with it Cheers
I've just test driven the c250 in white. Lovely to look at, very nice dash. I'm looking out for the right price to buy one!! BUT, I did prefer the drive of the BMW 3 series.
Off centred pedals are classic MB. I personally don't mind it. I also like the foot operated parking brake. Again, that's a classic MB feature.
This is my daily driver, and hill starting is easier with foot brake.
1. Engage brake.
2. Rev while releasing clutch.
3. When clutch has contact, simply pull the release lever and you win.
Cheers, loving the reviews.
I know this was 10 years ago but if you firmly press the normal brake at a standstill it holds for you and only releases when you let the clutch up and to be honest I don't even use that. Just be quick with your feet
Doesn't the offset steering wheel make you feel a little bit twisted?
Nice Review! Also do the New Mercedes GL review!
will get one very soon
The manual version has a hold feature. If you push the brake hard or pump it twice car won't roll until you accelerate away. Pretty much a handbrake but without having to use your hands.
Both the automatic and manual have this 'hill start' feature. When you take your foot off the brake the car holds for 3 seconds. Handy in the manual but a must for the automatic
The background music sounds like late night Cinemax
I have a 1998 Dodge Neon. Should I trade it in on one of these?
Nice car, great review, music is too loud in this one though (although I do love the music) :o)
You have come a long way to Car Wow!
Mercedes, sempre, se destacando dentro todos.
Why, isn't the steering wheel offset to the left and the pedals to the right in your car?
The black editions look👌
Wow Mat really upped his game
I thought Parking brake automatically disengages when you step on the throttle...
When does he get used to that foot operated parkingbrake ? It's a Merc thing and it will last. And it doesn't provide any problems starting at a hill, i'm doing it every Morning and its no a problem at all.
My favourite car. Small, got character. 10 years, spotless, then got rear ended and totalled. What a heartbreak.
Will be test driving one tomorrow :)
***** yes! I love it!!!
danielxmiller uh
Review the new one please
What i have heard is that the english or right side version of the car that is a bit strange. My steering wheel is on the left and i have no problem with the pedals.
Got one of these and I love it!
So is this a c300 or c250 coupe?
I have a 2005 manual c180, and that trick u suggested doesnt work it will just rolls back, (i actually tried it last night). but thanks for replying anyhow.
what's up with the twisted driving position?
Matt Watson.... I just love your reviews!!!!! I am your big fan!! Please don't ever leave carbuyer!! :)
He did
@@jackl8915 but having a much better time in carwow now
@Prostreetcrazy the E class coupe is slightly bigger and comes with more features as standard and its based on the E class sedan.
Make a video on the the new s class because my uncle got it
Does anybody else have an issue with if off center seating. Is it very noticeable or back breaking and twisty
Fiona Banyai honestly don’t understand what Mat was on about when he said that.....
The pedals aren’t off centered at all, I own a C250 CDI Coupe and have had no problems whatsoever.
You won't need to push the handbrake on a hill start in a manual car, it has Autohold.
I have a manual 6 speed one and it's fantastic. 😊
Best styled mid-sized coupe, since the Calibra and the 300ZX.
How is it holding mate ? Planning on getting a c180 manual petrol
Barking brake?
Is this a 250 or 350 coupe ?
which one is cheaper
Bought a 2012 C250 CDI in black 12 years on 2012 plate and its such a crazy car to drive, the torque is insane and still turns heads in 2024. Design has stood test of time and its very nippy, back into seat nippy. Only things I dislike are the out of date Becker Map Pilot is basic in 2024 now and DAB radio antenna is worst Ive had. Other than that I cant fault this car 12 years on. Owned it for 2 months
Anyone on here buying in 2021?!
I have the manual... next time you come to a stop on a hill push your break in hard and the word 'break' will show on your dash (i think) and now when you take your foot off the break the car will stay put until you release your clutch.
MUSIC????
Hi guys, it’s Matt Watson here from carwow.
Best looking coupe in its class
While the headroom in the back isn't very large, the legroom seems pretty big.
theres a fulll review
you do not talk about the fuel consumption of the C 180, can you talk about the real consumption of this engine? also, is it powerful enough for this car?
Thank you
I own a c200 and I owned c180 they both have the same engine which a inline four turbo and it is amazing but it's only pushing out 184hp so it is not the highes in horsepower and the car tops out at 237 km/h so it's a gem of an engine with fuel economy and trying to find a gas station when you are on empty especially when you turn on the eco mode but on performance you would need a new air filter and a cat back exhaust a boost gauge and a tune for it to be a true performer my personal car I have deleted my catalytic converters and my resonators and I have installed an apollo cold air intake system but I still did not tune so it sounds great but you don't get the most of it until you tune but in stock form It's not a performer
Francisco Laparra Rodriguez i have one decent
That´s because the engine is in fact dowtuned, you can install a chip and get it to 197 bhp. Brabus has the same chip but with their name on it so don´t worry!
My mom had this car beginning of this year and through quarantine, now I want the car but she sold it, time to ask her if she can buy it back for me since next year is when I get my license
wow the white with black rims is quite attractive
Tend to agree, amazing car
OMG I love this car!!!!
Beautiful car!
of all the German cruisers, besides porsche, I know I have quality in my mercedes.
The wisest purchase I will make outside of my first mortgage :)
I like how he's on the Indian radio stations at the start.
This is mat Watson yes?
why does he sit so close to the steering wheel ive noticed in a lot of your videos 😂😂😂
what's the title of the music?
так и думал что это 180 тоже супер пупер тачка на своё время да и сейчас тоже смотришь красивая такая
Those pillars are large for a good reason; strength.
If you can't do a hill start without using the hand brake, well, practise some more.
Absolutely! But, moreover, I'm pretty much sure that the car has a hill start assyst, because it was fitted to older car than that, so it's pointless. Sorry Mat!
mercedes have a foot brake listen to what he says
OfficialCossy
You don't need any brake for the actual hill start. On manuals there's something called clutch control.
tavi921 ofc it has hill assist, almost every automatic car does
I'm adicted to this videos .
i guess some people like a more sporty experience..? and also asthetic preferences?
Why the background music?
Hey, nice shoes you got there! :D
I have it and I LOVE it!
i liked the music through the video
must be the UK cars that have offset pedels and wheel. mine is perfectly in line in the US.
the c-class coupe is an excellent car now about some comments of the narrator about the no so much sharp steering, no so much sporty feeling of driving e.t.c. are useless....the CAR IS BRILLIANT!
I still don't get the offset ergonomics..
Thanks for the review m8 :)
