Yeah but considering the C class is only a 4 cylinder, only offering 200- 300 hp for nearly 40 to well over 50k with all the options is shambolic, not when you consider getting a 2-3 year old C63 AMG costs the same, and if willing to go a little older then you can really find a good spec one, it hardly seems worth it.
Calvin you completely missed the point of this car. This is not intended to be a performance car in any way, this is for people who like the amg look but with out performance features. It is a great cruiser, diesnt sound boy racerier and looks elegant 👌
The new Shape sprinters are incredible however VW/Man vans are even better. I’ve driven about every van you can think of over the past year (nothing older than 17) and the VW/Man is on top (even driven an electric Chinese van 😂) in terms of interior quality. But as a work horse I’d choose the Sprinter. Feels more powerful and it being rwd, just puts the power down much better.
Lights are for kids, pan roof adds weight, digital dash is also pointless, branded sound systems are a marketing ploy, memory seats are great if you're a goldfish

So it’s really a c200 then as it’s never been a 3 litre engine .This is what annoys me with newer bmws/Mercs the badge used to say what engine size it had so you could tell who had brought the base Engine option now it’s means zero and anyone can buy a basic version and pretend that they payed big money when in reality they cheaped out
The numbers do actually mean something and relate to power. I get the old way made a lot more sense and do wish it stayed the same, but with a merc and bmw, a 330i is higher spec & faster than a 320i (but they have the same engine) same as a c200 or c300. There’s about 50-100bhp of a difference though… i would say the c300/330i range suits someone looking at a c200/320i and fancy’s an upgrade, rather than someone wanting the beast and cheaping out 🤷♂️

@@zafert85 Like most Merc owners, they used to be BMW guys but got fed up with BMWs being super common, super expensive for parts (more so than a merc), there interiors being bland and there getting uglier with every new model.

The interiors on these are visually stunning. But when you start poking around and feeling the materials. The quality is nowhere near that of the equivalent BMW or Audi

That is quite a low spec Merc to be honest. In the C Class you need to be getting the Premium Plus. Worth it just for the better screen, better stereo (silver speaker caps) and electric memory seats. Plus you get the touch panel over the wheel. As I say that c300 is absolute base spec.

The problem with Mercedes and I also think Audi and BMW is that they are too accessible due to leasing. I believe when B.I.G. was rapping about it in the 90s and you had a Mercedes, you're somebody.

Felt the same when after owning a Clio 172 and a Mazda MX5 NB i jumped into a BMW 325i Coupe E92 with an Auto box. Very pretty, very comfy, very good and quite capable but it was just missing something. Sold it and got myself a Clio mk3 200 with a cup pack. Not a faster car, not an objectively better car but the joy of driving is back.
So I have a decision between one of these, an S3/Golf R, g20 320i or this. I am leaning for the c300 to be honest but could possibly get even a a250 instead. Any advice for me?
All very different cars (besides s3/golf r). A250 and c300 are quick but less intends for hard driving. Golf r is very dull and drab. S3 if you ask me …

I would like to surprise my wife with a nice comfortable car as she suffers from chronic fatigue and I travel 100miles to pick up my son now my mum is in the process of selling her mums house and I'm looking at getting around £20k. There are 3 cars I'm looking at for comfort 1,jaguar xf 2,bmw 3,mercedes But would hope i could get an opinion on all 3 just for a piece of mind. Many thanks
Test drove one and couldn't wait to hand it back. The drive felt dead in comparison to so much else out there. Paying big bucks for sorty bumpers and lights and uprated interior. Not worth it. In 10 years they'll be like the the millions of c classes that are worth nothing. How can merc justify those prices. E class, S class or C63/C63s all day long. Back in the day you knew what was on the road because it said so. Now 2 litre is badged as 300. Wtf and has the words AMG LINE 😆 rip of manufacturers making fancy names.

Mad to think it's a modern executive car and it's paint work is front to back orange peel
Always thought the infotainment system in the Mercedes looks like someone got an ipad and glued it to the top of the dashboard
Felt the same when after owning a Clio 172 and a Mazda MX5 NB i jumped into a BMW 325i Coupe E92 with an Auto box. Very pretty, very comfy, very good and quite capable but it was just missing something. Sold it and got myself a Clio mk3 200 with a cup pack. Not a faster car, not an objectively better car but the joy of driving is back.
Sold a 2.0tfsi dsg fr leon stage one and bought a 325i e92 and felt the same, think stage 1 +dsg and turbo made all the difference.
Mans sounds like Ali G lmao
So I have a decision between one of these, an S3/Golf R, g20 320i or this. I am leaning for the c300 to be honest but could possibly get even a a250 instead. Any advice for me?
Had all of them… s3 all day long
S3 no brainer
All very different cars (besides s3/golf r). A250 and c300 are quick but less intends for hard driving. Golf r is very dull and drab. S3 if you ask me …
@@youraveragejoe1 is c300 actually fast when tuned ? Im having a 2016 audi tts and looking to buy a c300 and sell the tts but i never drove one and dont know if tuned is quite slow for such a big car .
Any update on the damaged golf r?
Calv can you do a vid on a scirocco ?
Calvin quick question how much is the value of your total stock at binca i work as a valeter for motor match and they have roughly 2million at 1 small site so got me wondering.👍👊
The thing is he dont even know that that car has (lonch controle) its called starting help remps up to 2.5-3k rpm and ripps completely
Superb Video.
They look great! But a 250hp 4-banger is definitely NOT deserving of an AMG badge.
the c300 isnt an amg nor does it have an amg badge, its the c43's and the c63's that are amg's and have amg badges
@@willmcbeath4031 seems like you're mistaken or splitting hairs - the video literally says it's the "C300 AMG line"
Ryne Landers sorry you break it to you but the title is misleading, there is no such thing as a c300 AMG
AMG line is a styling kit :P lol
@@depress0coffee yeah, so they're slapping the AMG name on the car via the styling kit in order to associate the low-end models with the performance line. They could easily call it a "Performance Styling Package" and avoid confusion, but they're intentionally using the AMG brand to make that association. I stand by what I said - this car isn't worthy of the AMG moniker.
Yessss. Can't wait for the M240i
Its not like i do not want to like your video, its youtube that will keep pushing more car videos in my youtube feed and I wont be able to stop watching..
When say anover and free do you mean another and three ?
They are slapping the amg name on every thing would not touch post 2018 Benz. Never touch a c class
Mercedes are scrap now with cheap nasty plastics & Renault parts 🤮
Horrible white around the wheels
I can tell you what it is that does not make them feel premium.... the build quality. It is horrendous.
Hi great video and a new subscriber but i would like to ask a question. I would like to surprise my wife with a nice comfortable car as she suffers from chronic fatigue and I travel 100miles to pick up my son now my mum is in the process of selling her mums house and I'm looking at getting around £20k.
There are 3 cars I'm looking at for comfort
1,jaguar xf
2,bmw
3,mercedes
But would hope i could get an opinion on all 3 just for a piece of mind. Many thanks
Thanks for the ads.
You just can’t make a 2.0 four pot sound good. Won’t be getting rid of my straight six for a long time yet.
Test drove one and couldn't wait to hand it back. The drive felt dead in comparison to so much else out there. Paying big bucks for sorty bumpers and lights and uprated interior. Not worth it. In 10 years they'll be like the the millions of c classes that are worth nothing. How can merc justify those prices. E class, S class or C63/C63s all day long. Back in the day you knew what was on the road because it said so. Now 2 litre is badged as 300. Wtf and has the words AMG LINE 😆 rip of manufacturers making fancy names.
Song name at 0:53?
As always rope Work man
Have similar steering wheels on a fleet of works Sprinters. All 20 plates. The steering controls all failed. Build quality poor for such a premium badge .
I have owned a 2015 saloon and 2016 convertible both diesel the 300 petrol never seems to make much sense against diesel
I would love an Lexus ISF , possibly a GSF for that price
