    The 2015 Mercedes C-Class has received a complete redesign that changes the "baby-Benz" from class average to a class by-itself. As I discuss in the video, much of the change for this generation is down to the 2014 Mercedes CLA250 ( • 2014 /2015 Mercedes B... ) taking over the role of "the cheapest Mercedes in America". By adding the CLA to the line-up, the base C-Class no longer has to compete with the Audi A3, BMW 320i, Lexus CT, etc for entry level sales. Thanks to this rework of the Mercedes price ladder, the C300 is able to boast the most interior refinement of any vehicle in the class, more standard features and more power as well.

    I still prefer the luxury trim, particularly on the C. The grill is wider and more pronounced, giving it extra character.

    • @bobhope4288
      @bobhope4288 Před 9 lety +13

      I'm willing to bet your grandchildren disagree with you about the luxury's grill.

    • @mountainhobo
      @mountainhobo Před 9 lety +9

      Bob Hope Hopefully they will be less arrogant than you are, when I have them.
      Mercedes still offers both trims, so I don't care what boy racers choose.

    • @bobhope4288
      @bobhope4288 Před 9 lety +12

      Hum, I was trying to call you old, I was not trying to be arrogant. the luxury grill is the "Classic" grill harking back to merc's of old...young people don't want their car to look like an "old mercedes"
      Who brought up boy racers? Older people tend to prefer the look of the "luxury grill" while younger people tend to like the sleeker look.
      You've got the crotchety old man thing down though.

    • @INEEDMOREZOMBIES115
      @INEEDMOREZOMBIES115 Před 9 lety +6

      Bob Hope Now that is untrue. I'm 18 years old, so I could be considered young.
      I'm considering the MB C300 with the Luxury Package. Not due to heritage or anything like that, but it seems as if it demands respect with the hood ornament, reflects class and sends a message to those who look at it.
      I suppose he brought up 'boy racers' because the moment a 17-20 year old male hears the word 'Sport' in the name of the car he is considering to buy, he immediately thinks of burnouts, lots of low-end torque and the growl that a V8 makes when you slam the accelerator. I can vouch for this thought due to the fact that most of the male peers I have are just uneducated in the field of automotive engineering. Just because something says 'Sport' or, in this case, 'Sport Package' does not mean it will go faster or accelerate more rapidly.
      All in all, Just wanted to make a point.
      You don't have to be old to prefer a classy look over a stylish look.

    Thanks so much for explaining the reasoning for the screen sitting on the dash instead of inside. It does make the front seating area appear roomier by making the dash less bulky. I hated it when I first saw it last year. Now it's doesn't seem such an eyesore.

    As to the MB C300, this car looks very solid. I'm glad MB got rid of the awful dialpad cluster on the center console. What are your thoughts on the technology in the car for long term, say in 5 years?
    Last, I'm cross shopping many of the entry luxury vehicles. How do you think this car stacks up against the Genesis?
    Thank you for your time!

    @darksideofmind91 Před 9 lety +11

    I know you rarely do, but I think you should include in your review something like a 30-40 seconds of exhaust note, for every car (I don't mean you have to rev it up to 7k rpm, I just mean this to hear the sound of the engine, since it's an important part of the car). Think about it ;)

    This is the 1st person I've seen that truly gave a non biased, honest review. I agree with most of his talking points. Audi & BMW has some catching up to do in terms of their interior. Although BMW has the best in dash technology. And ATS definitely is the best handling car in this class. And I never thought I'd say that over BMW. Keep inind ATS & C300 are the newer cars so we'll see what the other 2 has up their sleeves.

    Good video. I took a test drive of the BMW 328xi with the M Sport package yesterday; the car had more body roll and less steering feel than expected and the rear seat seemed accommodating for my teenager. I had not considered the C Class because the previous generation was cramped in the back and not very agile, but will take a look at the C300 now.

    Alex, great review, what is your opinion on ride quality with those steel suspensions of Sport Pkg on the review car? Are they super stiff? Have you tried the new C300 without a sport package for ride quality comparison? Again awesome review, very very thorough.

    • @AAutoBuyersGuide
      @AAutoBuyersGuide  Před 9 lety +5

      The C300 is tuned toward the softer side of the spectrum, so the Sport package is stiffer than the standard C300 but not as stiff as the sport springs on the other sedans in the category. The suspension is slightly stiffer than the BMW 3-Series or Volvo S60 in standard form, but not as stiff as teh S60 or 3-Series with their sport packages.

    • @AAutoBuyersGuide
      @AAutoBuyersGuide  Před 9 lety

      Eugene Neale It's all about the value. The C-Class is a great car, but the price tag is a little bit steep. Then again, I think that is good for Mercedes as a brand, but personally I tend to favor the "deal"

    The only way that you're able to get the Burmester sound system is by adding the Premium package 2 to the vehicle, which mandates leather seats. So, this car does in fact have leather seats, at least it would according to the Mercedes website.
