    I'm with Yuri on the brake pedal being a dealbreaker. It doesn't matter how good everything else is. If the most basic driver inputs are poorly tuned, it will annoy you. With cars this expensive, I can't comprehend why they get put into production with absolutely terrible driver inputs, steering and brakes especially. If Honda can figure out how to make electric brake boosters that feel natural, I don't see why Mercedes can't.

    I own a C300 and a Mazda MX-5. I give that as a reference that I appreciate fun handling. You even had the AMG version with the firmer suspension than I own. The C300 is not a sports sedan. It is a fantastic luxury sedan. If you want nimble reflexes and sports car handling, this is not the car. It still does have German well dampened and tight suspension, but you pass over imperfections in quiet luxury. Not too isolating or too floaty, but also not too involved that you can't relax. The brake pedal hasn't been something that has bothered me at all. It is very pleasant to drive, has all the pickup needed and gets good gas milage.

    Honest C300 review! Thank you for mentioning the brake, that was one deal breaker for us. The interior materials felt really cheap for how much this car costs but the interior design looks fantastic otherwise. One nice thing they did was that the mild hybrid doubles as a twin turbo to get rid of that turbo lag. The biggest deal breaker for us was that the car felt like it was breaking down during our test drive. Between shakey sport mode and the crappy breaks, we were honestly worried we wouldn't make it back to the dealership. At one point there was a crunching sound coming from the underside of the car. We kept our GV70 reservation, still waiting and 9 months late. For us, it was the GV70, G70, 330i, C300 in that order. For the midsized, we got the G80 but the E450 was an awesome car but a bit pricey. Price/reliability aside, I would say E450, A7, G80, A6, and i540. We test drove a brand new A7 for 15 minutes and the check engine light turned on. It went right back to the dealership.

    • @Jcrash1
      @Jcrash1 Год назад +10

      Funny thing is, I took a c300 for a test drive about a few weeks ago. And as soon as I left the lot the check engine light came on. Couldn’t adjust anything on the gauge cluster or do anything in the infotainment during the whole test drive. So I completely agree with you saying you felt like it was “breaking down” Definitely not going with this generation. LOL
      Edit: also, the first thing I noticed was how terrible the breaks felt. Right before this I test drove a GLB35 AMG and that car felt like a S class in comparison to the new c300. I couldn’t drive the c300 smooth for the life of me, I felt like a brand new driver again.

      @@Mikroserr my G80 is a 3.5T 2021 model. It is extremely solid, higher build quality than the A6/A7 IMO. No issues in the 14 months that I have owned it. I was worried about it being a first year redesign but Genesis had a great warranty and they have been ranked highest in quality over all other luxury brands. The car is absolutely amazing, my only gripe is that it has more body roll than I would like but it is a large sedan. I dont think there is another ICE car on the market that I would be happier with. The only thing A6/A7 did better is that they were punchier under 70MPH due to the 48V mild hybrid but lost most of their power at higher speeds where the G80 kept pushing. The thing I liked more about the E450 is the interior and the engine's dynamic range but if you got a G80 2022 3.5T with sport plus mode, that would narrow the gap considerably. Neither of those two items were worth an additional 15k to me, especially when the G80 was as good or better in most other categories.

    • @coreyk288
      @coreyk288 Год назад +14

      I agree with you. The way they look at it is based on customer behavior. In more luxurious cars the buyer is more likely to focus on specification as a matter of competing with others, meaning they will be more willing to pay more to say they have more, on top of the car itself just being nice to begin with; ego pays more to say it has more. Where as someone who is going after a civic or corolla is buying a car that competes to pack in as much as possible for a competitive price. They know these buyers want the most for their money because every penny counts, where as the buyer for high end cars is less concerned with their pennies and more concerned with spec competing. At least this is what ive gathered from being on both ends of the financial spectrum in my car ownership/purchasing history.

    I quite like this car. Test drove it two times now. The brakes do feel very soft, but I have no problem braking smoothly. Actually, it seems very smooth to brake. Doesn't change the pressure on me either.
    I was surprised at how much I liked the interior as well. I normally shut down and hate a car as soon as I see the giant iPad, but it seems to be done very well. I like it better than the Tesla Model 3's interior user interface, at least.
    I do think I like the Audi A4 interior a little better, and I think the G70 handles and steers better. But it feels dramatic, has decent space, and the base sound system is the best in all the ones I've tested.

    Slightly older Audi style rotary knob + touch screen is the ideal infotainment. I don't know what is so hard for car companies to get about this. When you're driving you don't want to have to actively stare at a screen that you're trying to hit while you bounce around from road imperfections = rotary knob which you can learn to at least partially navigate without having to look at the screen + gives you stable, definite input while you're bouncing around.

    • @TheStraightPipes
      @TheStraightPipes  Год назад +2

      Some cars have launch control. Typically turbo or supercharged, but even Naturally Aspirated and Electric sometimes have it. Basically you mash the brake and mash the gas. The car, if programmed with it, says launch control. The rpms stay at a constant rpm and if it has forced induction it builds boost. You let go of the brake and you get launched. Brake boost is the same thing, you pre torque the engine so it's not leaving from idle rpm. But it's not an official launch control so it's less effective. Sometimes it's even worse than just mashing the gas from idle

    I just gotten a new 2023 Audi A3 which also features a 48V MHEV system, and the first 1/3 brake pedal is definitely more artificial which I chalk down to the regen brake, but a week in later and I largely can smoothly brake to a stop. It does feel annoying at first, but seeing the engine shut off even at highway speeds & averaging close to 7.4L/100km even with quattro AWD makes it totally worth it.
    I'm genuinely curious as to how Mercedes has implemented and tuned their 48V MHEV that is causing such abrupt stops here.

    If Mercedes wanted to do smaller engines for emissions and regulations purposes they could at least have done a 5 cylinder engine for their amg 63 models. 5 cylinders still sound good. The theater and drama is half the fun of owning an AMG.
