Thank you for an outstanding and exemplary review I repeat REVIEW you make a point and amplify or support your comment just fantastic. I ordered one a few days ago you have left me smiling and I cannot wait to get my car next week. Thank you from an ex Volvo driver of 38 years who has deserted Volvo as they do not make saloons any more (Big mistake) Thanks from the UK
Well, of course there's two USB port at the back, and there's also a climate control at the back. But it's a German car, so you have to pay for everything! The rear climate control is supplied with the optional "Thermotronic" 4-zone climate control, and the additional 6 USB ports are supplied with the optional "USB package".
Small add on - I can not understand why for reverse you need to push lever up and for drive to put it down. I would expect vice-versa, for reverse to pull down....
It's build quality was rubbish and it was looking a little long in the tooth. This one is a grower. It looks like a small S class, I think it's got much more presence than 205 and it oozes class.
I drove past a new C class the other day, and almost didn't notice it. It's styling is SO bland, particularly from the back. They needed to do something more.
$90,000.00 for a C class if it were me, I would pony up the extra $30,000.00 and buy the S-class I know it's somewhat elitist but if you want all the options the S- class is the way to go. Great review as usual.
@@reggie861 Didn’t realise you were in US. If that’s the case the C class starts at 45k in the US..so you’ll have to pony up an extra 105k (not 30k) - the reviewer is quoting Australian prices.
Also there is way too much technology on this car. No wonder we keep having loads of car crashes. No one knows how to drive these days. I wish car makers would stop stuffing all this unnecessary crap into modern cars. We don’t need it, anyone who does is a nob. A car should be a car not a supercomputer on wheels.
Damn, this is probably the best car review I've seen in ages. It's ACTUALLY a car review - with all the details, in detail. Brilliant job. I'm so sick of car reviews that are 4 minutes and test out 0 to 100 km/h then just list options out, or compare them to other cars to see "who wins". Those are just so common and useless. So great job and I really appreciated being shown through the tech and have it explained - no one seems to do that anymore either.
That’s a lot of money for a C class. I’m not a huge fan of the looks. I would prefer a 3 pointed hood ornament and a more elegant look. I don’t like the AMG line. A Mercedes Benz should be elegant and timely. This is too fussy for me.
Has memory for different drivers. My old 2009 Falcon had that. And you can call people using your voice, the 2009 Falcon did that too. It’s called Siri and worked seamlessly in the system. Not all that impressive!
Yes that is true.. but it's still just a POS FG MK I Falcon..If it's not a G6E Turbo or XR6 Turbo it's would be worth to the new owners about 5k retail if that...I own a C250 and prior had a MKII XR6 Turbo Limited Edition and the two cars are just light years apart in just about everything
So good you still doing reviews James, love them.

James did the ///AMG A45s when it first came out! I think he liked it also from memory.
New design is superb. Looks like Mercedes is finally regaining bit of that prestige back since the W124. Would certainly consider as my second Merc.
this is one of the most beautiful & fantastic car
Thank you.
All I needed to know .👍
Nice review!
Specially like the S vs. C joke. It's actually very true.
I thought I was watching Thomas on Autogefühl for a second there. Good job James, the longer format is great!
Superb review . Your more than the best
Top review mate!
Good review
Thanks Darrin!
Which colour and alloy wheels would you choose for the c class ?
Perfect review!!!
Does the C Class still come with a diesel variant ? ie: 220d ??

Easier to pull down than to push up, and you will be going forward more often than backwards.
I like the shape of the old.
Put the new into the old style
How much horspepower
nice presentation but couldn't help thinking you were trying to sell me that car
No lane keep in 80k car is a joke, I have w205 c300 but price spec for spec is now $22000 MORE WHEN W206 IS ON SALE
The old one looks way better than the new one. It’s a beautiful, timeless design.
No it’s not. It’s basically a dealers vehicle lol

@@andrewbarbarash3116I completely agree with you!
I just bought mine and it’s extremely classy, effortlessly makes you feel special!
I’m loving mine!
$aud90,000 for a 1.5L engine? Are they having a laugh? This pricing probably accounts for MB sales tanking over the last few years.
W205 looks better in my opinion, this is just a little too bland for me.

Hmm..a brand new S Class starts at around $270,000 in Australia.
@@madhumahadevan4228 Poor, you I live in the United States an S-class cost $150,000.00.
Yea 100% agree with you there!

Dont forget that its AUS$ not US$
If I’m driving a s class and u think it’s a c class then I will care. I’ve spent Bentley money on the top model s.
These bells and whistles are bloody useless. Just increases the price of the car.
To spend north $90k for a 1.5L is simply a joke regards the badge 😂😂😂
The best or nothing
The voice control is ridiculous, extremely stupid and annoying. Tried while test drive. It’s not just useless also annoying.

Amen
Didn't the previous C class have proper exhausts and now this one is much more expensive and just plastic fakes? That shows what MB are really like.
It depends on the variant, but the previous generation W205 C-Class has fake exhaust tips too on lower grades.
superb

All look the same but diffrent sizes. Sounds like Mazda :-)
You are the best reviewer hands downs.

damn, paying 80k+ for a 1.5l engine just sounds, i don't know, wrong
Don’t forget the piano black interior smh
S class has plat door handles
Awesome Review
i stop watching after he said 90k

@@MercedesW2O5_C250 yeah exactly. So hardly a feature worth noting 13 years later in a video about a Mercedes if a $5000 Falcon has it.
