After being stuck in snow on a hill of a busy motorway, I decided to trade in my two year old C220 for a new fully loaded C43 coupe premium plus which I took delivery April 2019, this for me is the perfect daily driver, no weather conditions has ever stopped me and I feel totally safe regardless. When the 'go faster idiots' are feet away from your backside, I can show them a clean pair of heels with a great exhaust soundtrack. For a daily driver, for someone who enjoys driving, the C43 is the best option in my opinion, when looks, comfort, handling and performance are packaged together it's hard to better.
Thanks for the great video! I've had my 2023 C43 coupe for two months now, and loving it. Appreciated your comments about the head and heart, easy going vs. beast, and how the C43 coupe is a wonderful EDC. Glad I got the last of the V6 biturbo awd's!!!
I like the way you think and communicate. My C43 coupe is a perfect daily with all the boxes ticked. Compared with Audi and BMW equivalents and it won hands down. My biggest gripe is the foot rest size. Anyone with big feet and then wearing big chunky shoes will notice how there really is no foot rest. I fixed it with an aftermarket aluminium stick on. It even has the same round rubber grips like the pedals. I noticed even the E coupe has this same problem.
@@GoksCarLounge yes same issue here in Australia. only being able to rest the left half of your foot is dismal for such expensive cars, even more so the E Class.
@@GoksCarLounge I'm not sure if you understood that I meant New England as in American northeast coast. But from your videos I can see across the pond it's quite similar. 😊
When I first heard the C43's exhaust note, I was blown away. I didn't think the entry level AMG that the C43 is to sound that fantastic, I thought it would sound kind of muted and pathetic, and AMG would reserve the good sounding exhaust for the flagship C63 S.
Hey Dal, these are the full leather upholstery as opposed to the half leather half artico (aka Alcantara/ suede) think this car is still up for Sale if you like the look :)
@@aiuchi101 A35 interior is great to look at. Issue is it’s cheap and nasty plastics throughout the cabin. Trust me my A35 has been in over 4 times for creaks and rattles all over the place
I have a C43 2020 sedan. Personally I prefer the c43 than the A35. The c-class instead older, it's better daily, more space, more luxury and quality in the interior, it's better car all arround. Only thing it's less nimble as the compact A35, A class has newer tech, and then the 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder(I still have 2 turbo Saabs, I am used to the 4 cylinder, but the 6....). If you value the sound and the feeling of the v6, having a bigger and "more car", then the c43, instead it's older and just at it's end of life. If you value a more compact, some "sportier" feel, more advanced tech, newer design... C43 I higly recommend the exterior package. I have the brilliant blue with full exterior package and night package and looks awesome.
A good review but shuddering at you flooring it through the standing water on a country lane. If you’ve never heard of , or experience, aqua planing it has no respect for awd or any other spec.
Thanks bud! I haven’t driven the latest gen but the one before. Similar set up but the Golf felt lighter (naturally as it is) but C43 is more performance and more comfort.
@@hermannvliese3848 If you're able to afford this as for your first car, you're certainly spoiling yourself! I'm looking to pick up the coupe this year, and it'll be by far my most luxurious car I've owned.
What do you work with to afford such a beast? i work IT consultant hire for a company and as of now i dont make remotly close to afford such a gold of a car.
hello, my parents won't let me go for the c63s, but is a c43 okay as first car, and is it a lot of fun to drive ? (only been driving E400, and need a kinda fun car)
Only thing better in the 35 is the new infotainment system, stick the new AMG grill on the 43 and it looks way better as well as a bit better performance
Great to see Gonzalo Higuain doing some side hustle!
Looool pandemic has effected all of us
Lmfaooo

It seems we agree Bill! It’s a brilliant all rounder that’s for sure
I love my 2020 C 43, specially the exhaust sound and it gets louder as it gets older. I’m glad that there’s an AMG lounge on RUclips. 😎
Haha thanks for watching bud! Enjoy it!
Hey Gok, thank you for your time mate. Awesome video on all levels. Simply BRILLIANT!
Thank you my dude! Appreciate it :))

I know mate all these cars are a dying breed! Congrats on the new purchase and thank you so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it :))
Had one of these for the day when my glc43 was in for a service, loved it. Great video 👍
thanks Tom! :)

Thank you mate! Really appreciate it. The footwell is worsened for the uk as left hand drive cars don’t have the same problem.

Watched up to 3 minutes and 40 seconds and gave it a like for the quality of the content!! Keep it coming brother.
Thank you my bro! This was probably one of my favourites to film and edit. Please consider subbing too 🤓
Spot on with your summary of this car. Can't wait for mine to arrive!
Thank you Nick, glad you agree. Congrats on the purchase. When does she arrive?
Awesome video my G! Keep em coming 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
C43 actually sounds good on the road ! It’s not v8 loud but you can definitely hear it & change the grill makes it look 5x better 👍
Agreed!
What grill would you recommend on my black c43? I dont like the stock too much
Stepping into a C43 Coupe soon, here in Australia. Great review Thanks.
Congrats buddy! You’ll enjoy it I’m sure ♥️
This guy needs more publicity, video content and entertainment of the posts are quality
You THE MAN 🙏🏻 thank you brother 💙
@@GoksCarLounge come on bro look at the work you put in for the fans you have
Nuff love man. I want people to be entertained 👌🏼
Great car, just picked up an all black C43. I love the split personality!
agreed!
@@tanmayras1 what do you think real life mpg is? Thanks
Getting my c43 tomorrow. Can’t wait
How do you like it so far?
How is the sound? I heard the newer models are more muted due to OPF? :(
I love mine
BRILLIANT video! Thanks!
Thanks mate :)
You’re hilarious! Definitely see the level of thought you put into your work. Great video
Haha thanks dude! Appreciate the positive feedback 🙏🏻
Great info ! Keep it up !! Amg lounge is the best
Couldn't agree more! :P superspunk
Lane assist ? Adaptive cruise control ? Park assist ? Blind spot indicator ?
All can be had now
on the '22s and '23s. Maybe further back too.
really good video just subscribed. Looking to get a 2019 C43 in the next couple of months.
Thank you Dave! Don’t forget to check out Vertu Mercedes Benz ;)
@@GoksCarLounge Just checked they have not got any C43 at the moment
I love my c43. Luna blue coupe with cream interior. Just watch the new England roads with potholes.
They’re terrible at the moment!
@@GoksCarLounge I'm not sure if you understood that I meant New England as in American northeast coast. But from your videos I can see across the pond it's quite similar. 😊
Haha I did misread it. Yea they are awful here
@@jdub7771 i’m getting mine tomorrow and i live in connecticut! the roads are so bad here!
Nice one 👍
Thanks Elliot! 🙏🏻

It’s not the entry model AMG. That goes to the A Class and after it is the CLA.
How have you not got over 1m subscribers already. Top quality production and cinematography 👌❤️
Haha when I do…. I’ll return to this comment. Thank you buddy! ♥️
Just not sure why they couldn’t add a heated steering wheel with everything else they added.
Now I'm going to go watch all your videos !
Please do!
What seats are they? They look different to a C43 I'm looking at. Getting rid of my M2; this looks more livable for everyday.
Hey Dal, these are the full leather upholstery as opposed to the half leather half artico (aka Alcantara/ suede) think this car is still up for Sale if you like the look :)
great video man
Thank you bud 👍🏼
Great video, great review. I am biased as I own a 67 plate C43AMG coupe myself.
Nice work mate, love your passion.
Thank you Brian. Glad you enjoyed it 😁
great production! This level quality shouldn't be free haha !
Haha thanks K! I’ll try to keep it up!
A35 or slightly older c43 this is my struggle at the moment what to do 🤷🏾♂️
nice problem to have :P either way you won't go wrong (A35 will be cheaper to run) depends what's important to you...
@@GoksCarLounge thanks I think the A35 interior is selling it. Keep up the good work 👊🏾
@@aiuchi101 A35 interior is great to look at. Issue is it’s cheap and nasty plastics throughout the cabin. Trust me my A35 has been in over 4 times for creaks and rattles all over the place
I have 2020 c43 coupe...go with the c43, its made in Germany and the digital dash is very modern.
I have a C43 2020 sedan. Personally I prefer the c43 than the A35. The c-class instead older, it's better daily, more space, more luxury and quality in the interior, it's better car all arround.

It’s sad how this mid ranged sports car will have a bigger engine than the flagship C63 Mercedes are releasing next 😩
I know!! AMG I’m sure will have something special up their sleeves 😏
@@GoksCarLounge Not for me. 5.4L c55 all the way. It gets similar MPG to the c43 anyway and sounds much better...so much for advancements...
@@KingofInterns There is no way you are getting the same milage with that thing compared to a newer amg.
Found you at 1:23AM MST glad I did lol!
Haha thank you! Where you from?
Colorado in the states bud lool.
Why didn’t you carry on with the list. That was well interesting!!
Haha I dunno, I’m still learning about what people want to see and hear
Thanks to everyone for the great comments!
This is amazing
Thank you! :)
Had one for a while. I can see where a lot of people would like it as a daily but I think the C63 is just an overall better daily.
No amg performance Seats and red belts?😁
Just got my wife the c43 cabriolet. I don't care if it's a daily driver. Damn thing is fun!!!!
Congrats! And yes I agree!!
Hey man, love the review. Is this better or in the same level in terms of "comfy ride" and "performance" as the E43 AMG?
Thank you buddy! Comfort wise the E53 is better, performance wise there is not much between them.
A good review but shuddering at you flooring it through the standing water on a country lane. If you’ve never heard of , or experience, aqua planing it has no respect for awd or any other spec.
At least the tires aren´t as wide as the C63´s ;)
Choose c63s or c43 now, any advice? Seem you drive lots of AMG already. Thanks
Lives in San Diego
For a daily the C43 is better... depends what you are after
@@GoksCarLounge thank you, I just drive a CLA for 3 years, and wants a AMG so bad.
@@williamsdaily7419 Drove a cla 250 for a while too, just upgraded to a c43 2020 a few weeks ago. Its amazing!
How manys miles do u get on full tank
Have you drive the golf r? If so, how does it compare performance wise?? Great vid btw, subbed!
Thanks bud! I haven’t driven the latest gen but the one before. Similar set up but the Golf felt lighter (naturally as it is) but C43 is more performance and more comfort.
Bro i am really confused which one to get golf r 2018 or c43 2018 they are almost at same price in my country but i haven’t driven both
Did you average 27mpg by driving in sport plus? As I’m looking to get one this year
Haha deffo not. Comfort
@@GoksCarLounge do you think that this a first car will be too much or orb would be alright?
@@hermannvliese3848 If you're able to afford this as for your first car, you're certainly spoiling yourself! I'm looking to pick up the coupe this year, and it'll be by far my most luxurious car I've owned.
What do you work with to afford such a beast?
i work IT
consultant hire for a company and as of now i dont make remotly close to afford such a gold of a car.
I work for Mercedes Bud :) it’s not my car. If you want it enough you’ll find a way, if not you’ll find an excuse ;)
@@GoksCarLounge lol...makes sense mate!
Which car would have more backseat leg & headroom , the CLA 45s or C43 coupe??
Great question! The CLA would edge it, including the ease of getting in and out 👍🏼
hello, my parents won't let me go for the c63s, but is a c43 okay as first car, and is it a lot of fun to drive ? (only been driving E400, and need a kinda fun car)
Deffo more fun than a E400 yes!
this is not a "first" car.. get a job and go buy your own first car, youll appreciate it more.
oh that voice
mine or the car? ;)
@@GoksCarLounge both, i would say 😂
500K SUB BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR♨
Ok my friend.
how did you manage 27mpg on it? mine is like 19-20 not even driving that hard lol
Drove it like a granny... lol steady speed on the motorway bud.
Heart: M340i
Bruh! You never answered if its a good daily driver. Extremely low energy, boring video and unfunny humor i have ever seen.
Prefer cla 35, c43 looks dated now
The CLA is much newer yes
The AMG Lounge you not think it’s a better car all round? Only thing c43 has over it is sound and abit more performance init
CLA45s over the C43 ;) otherwise C43 IMO
The AMG Lounge cla45s is in c63 class so no question there. 35 and 43 both entry levels so same class init
Only thing better in the 35 is the new infotainment system, stick the new AMG grill on the 43 and it looks way better as well as a bit better performance
Good only where they don't have 3 inch deep potholes in the winter.
Es heißt A M G und nicht EhEmJi
