This car looks and sounds great ... Lots of power, sport but sedan, great as a sport car for a small family but still you could have fun with it when you are alone without the kids in the back seat... I don't know what I would do to it on the roads of BC...Love the colours inside and out... As always man great job ... All the best... Peace
Well done video. Good information, excellent speaking voice and showed a ton of the car's outside (who the heck wants to watch someone just driving inside the cockpit?).
Nice video, I picked mine up 2 weeks ago. Same wheels and interior color but polar white. Traded in 2016 m235i and very happy with the switch :) I should mention that button to open the valves is $1250
Janice Eve yeah, got the sport exhaust. Didn't think I would care but actually love it at times. You can be in sport plus and have it off or on. So pick and choose when you want the extra sound. But don't think there's any performance gain. Just over the top noise 😂
Thanks Ben for that video! Some very good info on the car that might move me from my 335i Msport convertible! Actually, the C43 coupe and convertible have my attention! Keep them coming Ben!
Unfortunately, some of us can't even afford a second-hand C180 petrol sedan after staying in medical school until our late 20's, let alone a C43 AMG. At my current salary, I would be able to afford this car by paying for it for the next 55-60 years and eating just bread while I'm at it. Those who can purchase this jewel of a car, I REALLY HOPE YOU APPRECIATE IT, cause you're the lucky ones!
Yeap school loans are a monster to have to repay! Thank God i a debt free as far as school loans are concerned. Getting a car like this is really not difficult. The problem is most people want it NOW. That's always the big issue. If you wait and save diligently for a few years, would'nt it be nice to walk into a mercedes dealership and dump like say $30, 000 down on this car? As opposed to having a $700-$800 car payment?
Fantastic overview...for the most part I'm an Audi guy, but the bland new designs of the S4/S5 have me realizing how much more design language the c43 has! Only complaint are the wheels....everyones doing the aluminum with gloss black look and I'm not the biggest fan. I can't get over the exhaust note though!
I personally think some of the Audi models are bland, but as far as infotainment/navigation systems I don't think they can be beat. The exhaust note on the C43 is absolutely sick! Check out my video driving it! ruclips.net/video/2MMTbRg-xsA/видео.html
I have the C300 with the Cranberry Leather interior, just like the one in this video. You answered my question “should I upgrade to the C43 when my lease is up 8/2018?” Thanks for the review!
I had a shoot set up with a BMW i8 months ago, and the owner backed out at the LAST minute with no explanation! As the channel grows it should become easier to gain access to a wider variety of cars. I'll try my best to get a hold of an i8 in the near future! Thanks for your continues support.
very fun car ........i bought mine last month. there are not very many of these in norcal, it is a bit of a sleeper, which i like. you can cruise in comfort mode and you have a mice C300 basically.......but when you are late for an appt., hit sport + mode and it will rock. especially good in the city with the 4matic.......you can take corners as fast as you want and not break traction........then the turbo rockets you up to speed. Well done Germany!!
An amazing job If you can can you please make a video of the c43 coupe because I'm deciding if I should get one and I'm asking you because no one does a better review than you
I just got a 2017 E300 a few weeks ago and I'm still torn over this.. going from a Lexus GS350 F sport I was afraid the C43 would be too small.. but now I miss the power.. the E class is so smooth but it almost sucks the joy out of driving ... lol. help what do I do!?
Interesting, I've been trading in BMW and Mercedes every year for 3 years and haven't lost anything but my monthly payments...2016 m235i , msrp $52,000, bought for 46,000 traded in 11 months later with 23,000 miles for $40,000, needed new tires even...if you pick the right cars, with the right options and negotiate the price you won't lose much on depreciation. I highly doubt I'll lose $35,000 in two years with this car,like you are speculating....shit, have you tried buying a 2006 M3? 11 years old and hasn't taken the depreciation hit you talk about in 2 years...
Matt Sandine those are sort of special cars though, being true M cars, unlike these which will likely depreciate like the old C450 did. Also I've seen MBs take a bigger hit (down 20% in 7 months, luckily I negotiated 10% off w/ euro delivery, etc), but still think I will come out ahead by leasing. If not-- I buy it out after.
my m235i wasn't a true M...mostly comes down to inventory...you see a ton of c300's on the road , so those depreciate fast...even though this isn't a true AMG it is more of an AMG than the c450 was. I haven't had much problems with any of my cars depreciating much from the deals I've made, but maybe I'm better at negotiating sale prices and trade in amounts than most people, haha....or I've just been lucky
awesome family car. I have an 18yr, 13yr and 14 month old....everyone fits great in this car. The rear facing seats have been great setting up in the middle of the back seat, giving the driver and passenger tons of leg room. I've tried five different seats and have it down to which are the best, so if you are in the market for a baby seat let me know, haha
Great review Ben !!!! 1) Does c43 replace c450 ? 2) No Sound system review How does Burmester Sound system (c43) compare to Bang & Olufsen in Audi S4 ? 3) Test Drive would be nice
Thank you. The C43 does replace the C450. Sound system reviews would be tricky because the audio quality would only be as great as what ever speaker system you use when watching the video. I'll see what I can do about a test drive....
all 43 AMG models are not truly AMG because the engines are not handcrafted. Only 63 AMG and even A/CLA/GLA 45 AMG have handcrafted engine. I feel this one is pretty much like the BMW 335i M Performance Edition, or M235i.
Ya Audi was going it too with the S line cars- I agree what makes an AMG is by definition the engine. That said it is a blast to drive and in that way it's AMG worthy.
AMG is more than just hand built engines, not handcrafted because i doubt a human hands can craft those parts, AMG is about driving passion as well. Yes, the engine is not assembled by one man, one engine but if you look it up, it is still considered hand built, just that there are 4 to 5 engineers attending to one engine. And as far as i know, AMG P1 doesn't have the one man, one engine assemble process but does that car not consider an AMG?
This guy always give the best information when reviewing cars
Totally agree. I have watched at least 20 c43 review videos. This is the best one.
@@akeykobe605 Wish I had found this one before the other 20! Tells you everything you want to know...
I just bought the C43 AMG two months ago and I enjoy every minute that I am driving it.
How much do u pay for payments?
Ben Wayne, by far the best car review video of all time. Loved your explanation and attention to detail.
What a wonderful review! He presents a different approach than the typical reviewer. His reviews are very much worth subscribing to.

surprised this channel isn't bigger, dope videos
Big Wayne
Thanks for giving me such a thorough and informative review without the foreign accent which I sometimes misinterpret.
Nice video, I picked mine up 2 weeks ago. Same wheels and interior color but polar white. Traded in 2016 m235i and very happy with the switch :) I should mention that button to open the valves is $1250

Great review brother, keep up the good work! ✊
Top notch car walk around. Up there with doug and the other top car reviewers
Really appreciate this video Ben. This is a beautiful car. I didn't even know it existed. I was looking for a C450...lol. Great review.
The C43 replaced the C450. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Ben,
You did a great job!
I appreciate that, thank you!
I can't wait for April..... Snow is gone I'm getting my self one of those white on red can't wait.... Thx for the video bud
Thanks Ben for that video! Some very good info on the car that might move me from my 335i Msport convertible! Actually, the C43 coupe and convertible have my attention! Keep them coming Ben!

Soon all your hard work will pay off brother
Working hard and smart isn’t luck.

great review, man! but it'd be nice to see you drive the car as well so we can see how the car drives. thumbs up!
Check out the behind the wheel video. ruclips.net/video/2MMTbRg-xsA/видео.html
My dream car ... ❤️ just like that grey and red inside
Thank you for a good and short review. Trying to decide the E43 and C43
Great review Ben!!
Wow! That's a really nice car
I have the C300 with the Cranberry Leather interior, just like the one in this video. You answered my question “should I upgrade to the C43 when my lease is up 8/2018?” Thanks for the review!
your information is actually good. im a bit confuse why only 3k subs here.. im subscribing.
Hi Ben love all your car reviews. I'm not sure but have you ever done a review with the BMW i8??? If not can you do a review on the i8? Thanks.
I had a shoot set up with a BMW i8 months ago, and the owner backed out at the LAST minute with no explanation! As the channel grows it should become easier to gain access to a wider variety of cars. I'll try my best to get a hold of an i8 in the near future! Thanks for your continues support.
Sounds great I'll keep a look out for the review in the future. Thanks!

Gregg Franks hows the fuel economy on it
Awesome video man learned a lot beautiful car
An amazing job
If you can can you please make a video of the c43 coupe because I'm deciding if I should get one and I'm asking you because no one does a better review than you
I'll see what I can do.
Got the c450 pretty much the same except the transmission and all the amg badging...
GREAT CAR. nice job on review...
Thank you!
Great job mate!
This is a great review.
quality video man!
Thank you!
Thank you for the great review!
Thanks for watching!
'this is the most popular amg sold over 1 million models last year! :)
yes nice car but i am not sure about the new engine comparison with the previous engines , sorry i am not convinced with the sound either
I'm really proud of my 2016 C300 right now, ill wait till later on then I'll sell my car for a C43 :)
You will love it i just got one to use as a daily driver.Great car..
I just got a 2017 E300 a few weeks ago and I'm still torn over this.. going from a Lexus GS350 F sport I was afraid the C43 would be too small.. but now I miss the power.. the E class is so smooth but it almost sucks the joy out of driving ... lol. help what do I do!?
The 2017 E43s just hit the market. It has about 396hp, I def would recommend going with that. The 241hp from the E300 is simply just not enough.
I'm new to your channel and I love what your doing, but i think you should share pricing of the cars.... thanks
Not a bad idea, thanks for joining the channel.
great review!
I wish I had a lot of money.
Wait 2-3 years and get it Certified pre owned low miles lease. This car will be around 25-32K in 3 years.
Adam totally agree if you go the CPO route on something that has depreciated like crazy you can own a luxury car that way less than a new Honda, etc.

Nice review sir
does the exhaust do the crackle pop like the c450
Thanks for sharing!
nice review. is this good for family car?
awesome family car. I have an 18yr, 13yr and 14 month old....everyone fits great in this car.

Good review thanks. Liked & Subed
how is the awd? 40 - 70? 50 - 50? 30 - 70?
Now which one is better the CLA45 or C43 ?
Can't go wrong with the Twin-Turbo V6
Hey curious what options are on this car?
Actually thinking of this or the new s4 as my next car.
flipboi952 Either one is really good don't forget to put an exhaust system! And don't forget to buy all the carbon parts!
flipboi952 get the s5 sportback, imo the s4 looks outdated
Lol I’m looking to buy this used now in 2020
Same! I’m deciding between this and an F10 M5
Keep up the great job!! Love the review...
Where this car made, Alabama?
Great Review! Professional and concise!!! Thank You!
Great car..nice review, but that red leather is straight up foul. I needed my sunglasses on to sit through it. lol.
LOLOL to each their own.
Good revieuw! Greetz from holland
Holland is in the house!
Big difference than the C63?
Nick Muszynski alot
Nice description, Ben, but this needs the Designo interior. This one is for noobs.
LOL
Great review Ben !!!!
1) Does c43 replace c450 ?
2) No Sound system review
How does Burmester Sound system (c43) compare to Bang & Olufsen in Audi S4 ?
3) Test Drive would be nice
Thank you. The C43 does replace the C450. Sound system reviews would be tricky because the audio quality would only be as great as what ever speaker system you use when watching the video. I'll see what I can do about a test drive....
Car and Driver gets 0-60 in 4.1 seconds
No driving???
The driving portion of this review was done in a seperate video and you can check it out here : ruclips.net/video/2MMTbRg-xsA/видео.html
This is how you should in your newer videos lol. Your personality is different.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nowadays it is all Biturbo - that kind of pisses me of - where is the naturally aspirated?
Don't shoot the messenger LOL
good video. I like it
can you help me?

ba
Those wheels are hideous..
You are hideous.
I didn't like them at first in videos or pics but ended up going with them in the long run...get tons of people admiring them
Matt Sandine me too. just went to dealer thinking I wanted the 18's and saw them in the show room. pics and video so them no justice.
needs BC forged wheels and H&R springs
Can't get a replacement battery for this car....
Great review, thank you!
