- Paul has decided that driving a Mercedes makes him friends with Lewis Hamilton, and part of Mercedes F1 technology. Todd isn’t so sure. Join them as they drive the updated C300 and talk about F1, powerful 4 cylinders, and much more. Plus they have an argument with the voice in the car. Join us for a Test Drive!

Totally agree with Todd - the gimmicks draw in the buyer, and the little annoyances make them want to next level up.
In your conversation with the car, Paul says "At least its entertaining". I think he meant to say "Isn't that aggravating?". MB is going the Alexa route. Great video.

You guys are the sugar that helps the reality of modern cars go down.
Hi, from Japan!! I don’t need Ms. Mercedes talking. Instead of loosing Ms. Mercedes, I hope the price goes down. She is a nice and pretty lady, though. By the way, I have heard some air freighters will arrive at Nagoya Japan in few hours for bringing F1 cars and related equipments for Japan Grand Prix.
I love that the car forgave you. Maybe try Merc instead of the full name. Love the F1 reference, it's nice to hear. I just need you guys to test it with two less doors. Here's to hoping!
Did I miss a discussion on whether the transmission shifts well on acceleration and quick deceleration as well as in stop and go driving?
Also overall ride quality at high speed? Road feel? Smoothness?
671hp out of a German 4-cylinder, what could possibly go wrong?
People not doing maintenance...
@@AmericanBusinessman422 so what's your excuse for people that are immaculate with their maintenance and still have endless issues? I've been a mechanic for over 20 years and see this a lot with German vehicles.
Efficiency is the BMW B58 inline 6…32 on a highway trip. With 400 hp (382 reported) and 0-60 in 3.8 (Motor Trend).
I appreciate your videos. In this case, I’d like to hear about when and how the different power trains kick in.
Painted white with tan/black interior it looks elegant and awesome as a Merc should look. I like the lines and curves of this sedan. 100% agree give me buttons and knobs! So much easier and safer!
Having an engine that'll take twice the power reliably is a very good thing; e.g., Nissan Xterras use the same long block as their twin turbo super cars.
Thank you for the review
Honestly I think I’d rather get the previous gen with a v6
The previous gen c300 was not a v6 do you mean you’d get that gen with the v6 option?
The lack of the PHEV in the US is insane. 60 miles of EV range is incredible.
Awesome review as always!
Ugh, the seats look like they have cheap, ill fitting seat cover/pads on them.
Performance wise, yeah, the G70 the way you want it is the same price as this, but much faster. The 4 cylinder model of the G70 has the same performance as the C300 for much much less.
@Todd do you think a rear facing car seat in the c class?
I wonder if the noise from the other cars was amplified somehow so you hear emergency vehicles and other cars on the road to help you avoid them.
I had a brand new one (125 miles) as a loaner when my E 300 was being serviced. I was appalled at how terrible it was (for $52,000)!
Say more ?
Sorry guys, you didn't convince me ...
G70 the way you want it- rwd 3.3t sport prestige is $55k. They're not a deal anymore.
Just get a base, there is no reason to pay an extra $9k+.
That's the performance model...
C43 and C63se has the same engine. C300 does not. also, this generation just came out for 2022. you are thinking of the previous gen.
5:10 did he say that this generation has been around since 2014? 2022 wasn't a refresh, it was a new generation, the W206.
I am a boomer and I, too, want buttons and knobs. Dislike the haptics.
I'm 26 and I want the damn buttons.
That’s a great looking car, I’d love to have one on my driveway, Mercedes = pureclass
Your mechanic would love you to have one too
@@senseicorey9979 He would but I’d sell it before it went out of manufacturers, warranty or service plan
model 3/y performance & m340i exist in the same price bracket
Those aren’t good looking
Only the c300... In europe it starts at c180
Very pretty car
What you have is a 30K Buick with a 30K star on the grill & steering wheel.
and an iPad ..
No.
You keep talking but you did not explain the car specifcations ,comfort,bavk seat space
I love the older Mercedes-Benz of the 90's, and it seems M-B. have lost their minds with technology and screens as the company named after the man that created the ICE car charges into the EV future. At least the C-Class is a looker compared to the 4-Series and M3.
The trunk is too tall and too short, the tailights don’t fit the car, the grill looks sad.
So the power of a 2.0 turbo accord...
When i think about the future of cars i get nauseous. I don't know if it's from excitement or disgust.
you can switch off the " hey Mercedes" function. Just havebto go in the menu and do it. Wasted hapf of the video just talking about its annoyance.
With the interface and bad UI of the Mercedes. Id take the Genesis ANY DAY.
I know it’s seemingly entertaining to complain about the “Hey Mercedes” feature, but the easy way to get out of it. If you activate it by accident is to simply hit the exit button on the steering wheel. Failing to do that does make you look like a boomer that doesn’t know how. 😂
Is it a button or a haptic slide? 😂
@@RockstarBruski you actually just press the exit arrow (not a haptic slide)
NVH is built in by design. Audible safety. Classic mechanical feel MB 👏🏻👏🏻
Make it quiet for that kind of money period. Also , in other Mercedes vehicles that are quieter , what’s the logic there regarding noise built in for safety? In fact, a complaint or concern lately but local fire departments and emergency services, is that cars have gotten to insulated and people are often not hearing these sirens until it’s almost too late. Just food for thought, 0 malice here
why don't cats have emergency communications in them so emergency vehicles can pop up on your screen and stereo they are approaching? Seems like a simple thing to add to all vehicle designs.
This is all new not a refresh, and the coupe and convertible are now the CLE not the C.
t has the same chassis as the W205,
I love talking to my car.. what’s the big deal?? 🤷🏻♂️
Mercedes interiors are ugly with those tesla 2015 screens. No somber integration into the panels, but rinky dink hovering screens that will be a bitch to clean around.
Kia sportage is the nicest example, but 1994 toyota supra was the best. Make a modern version.
So now we wait for your s63 test, as you name dropped that one.
This or a S3 ?
Apples to oranges. The question is C300 or A4?
The downfall of Mercedes has begun
hold on,. your telling me that c class cost 60000 dollars. send the astroid
Say it’s Name! Oh PLEASE No!!!
The best or nothing. This isn’t the best MB. Looks like an Altima from the rear. Super expensive with options. Interior is the best part. Reliability will be another issue.
Mercedes has the image of Buick.... an old person's cruiser. I'd take a Tesla M3P in red
Bahahaha
good luck with depreciation
@@fancypants5490 you mean the depreciation of Tesla's Stock price, or the value of the car every time Elon lowers the sticker?!?! :P
The stupid domestic automakers Chevy, Ford, Dodge / Chrysler have no clue building performance cars. 6.4 lt, 5 lt, 6.2 lt and yet not much faster than this C300. Now with workers on strike, let them go bankrupt and do not bail tem out again this time. By the way, I agree with SCOTTY KILMER' for those who watch his channel, 671 hp out of cylinder means a hell of a stress and only time will tell how long this engine lasts.
cringe!
Exterior is getting cheaper and cheaper looking. Interior gimmicks is ensuring these vehicles are disposable. My 1990 190E is a true Benz.
You can get a Tesla model 3 after tax credit in $30,000. Here you go, a luxury car much less than this fake Mercedes.
Tesla model 3 destroys this vehicle in every way. Pass.
Nope.
Connected to F1? Stop the coke. There’s NOTHING transferred from F1 to this vehicle.
Turbo tech
