AMG is OMG! The 2019 Mercedes Benz AMG C 43 Coupe

- You can’t discuss the ABCs of performance driving without AMG. The Mercedes AMG C 43 4MATIC is the kind of car drivers wake up early for to get curvy country roads all to themselves. Available as a sedan and convertible, Tom Voelk takes the two-door coupe out to the rural roads of Washington State. The suspension and price tag are pretty stiff, but the C 43 is wicked fun.

That’s got to be one of the greatest sounding v6s
stocking up on toilet paper back in Aug 2019?
Well played sir
almost been a year. wow
@@genthalili615 4 years now. wow
Star Wars nod in car reviews, automatic like 😍😍 Thanks again Tom 👍
Thank you Tom, Rob and Martin for your appreciated efforts.
I have been watching and been a sub for a long time but don't normally comment.
Thanks again for your efforts.
Love the time and dedication that goes into the reviews it’s professionally well done. Kudos for the Driven staff I greatly appreciate and enjoy the reviews. I can watch multiple times for reference also they never get old.
Tom, we always love your videos. Keep up the great work!
0:20 Only Tom can burn himself in a car review. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well, the truth hurts...
My wife has a 2019 C43 Sedan and its quite noble and sporty. Thus far, it beens great
Sporty? Find it hard to believe you have one
@@04tsxpower it is sporty
@@04tsxpower , yes sporty. I own one
@@jackseymour7964 so do I and if 0 to 60 in 4 seconds wow. Ridiculous choice of words
@@04tsxpower I don’t see your point
C student? Tom, You're A+ to me! Appreciate the work you and your crew put in. 👍
I just test drove a CPO C43, very impressed. A lot of hate for the fake AMG badge, but this is plenty of power and the steering was very good. The Sport+ mode was a huge change in noise and engine response. Finding a use one with the options you want is difficult, but I think the AMG Performance is a must have. Thanks for the great review, especially the handling comments, sorry about the drone!
Congrats Tom your at 101k subscribers you’ll be at 201k by next year watch and see !!!
And the seat plastic thingy that pops out looks so cheap and plastic
Black wheels are over done. When will car makers go a different route? Black doesn't scream special any more because everyone is doing it. So Tom, which c43/53 would you put in your garage?
Bloopers always garner attention
I actually like the "non-touchable" screen in my 2023 C43 coupe. No moving my gaze from driving. I just got good at using the center controller and steering wheel controls. And no smugged up screen.
Thanks for the review! I have the 2018 c43 and love it 👍 as for subs, totally hear you on that. I have a career mentoring channel for recent grads and adults looking for a change and there are always production issues behind the scenes and my videos are no where as complicated as yours! Love your videos - it’s got that old school vibe with a very modern touch. Great balance!
I always watch your videos more than once, there is so much packed in to one video. The photography alone takes a few passes to fully appreciate! Thank you to the Driven team, you guys rock!
Thanks, we put a lot of work into them. Its a matter of pride.
Top speed is limited to 155, not 130. Why do people keep getting this wrong...
Hey Tom I’ve got the same hair color. I bet your younger, lol
Definitely OMG. I am glad you mentioned the lack of a manual option. It still seems unusual to accept performance cars without them.
$75k? 🥴 - Great video as always, Tom! Thank you!
Liked the video more than the car.
A performance variant that's a viable daily driver (four comfortable seats, etc.) is my sweet spot (I like the size much better than the E, or Tesla S) and I have thought this coupe or the C43 Sedan might have been just the one. Unfortunately I livie in an apartment so can't charge my electric at home.I drive a performance variant BMW 3 series from the good old days (2004) which I'm looking to replace with something roomier than my Porsche C4S. Would have wanted to know how this sweet car would have been as a daily driver: visibility? too firm a suspension? sounds like the sport exhaust is unnecessary but good that it is optional; is it as quiet as a C without the sport exhaust? P.S. Love Tom Voelk's reviews. The most sober and in a class with only one other great journalist, Dan Neil.
Leave the drone in the woods. We need fewer of those damned things. Nice review regardless.
2:22 something else to break.
The 43 u can’t go wrong!!
Got the car. That V6 Sound still gives me magic feeling months later
Great review! Loved the bloopers at the end lol. Can’t wait to trade in my Audi s4 for a C43 🥲
Wait till the seat belt extenders break how much will they cost to replace lol
It should be electronically limited to 155 miles an hour. That's what most performance cars are. They're just kneecapping this model.
All the more reason to have it tuned, get rid of the limiter and throw another 100+ horsepower at the same time! :)
From i heard your voice..I subscribed....great style
THERE, I subscribed, now pay him.
Did Tom just call the trunk a boot!
Amazing drone shot over the corn at 3:43! How many takes did that take, lolz.
Also: I know the chances are nil, but what about lifting off these horrible plastic engine covers and showing us the real guts? Can't stand those things.
First take. I'm typically very good with the drone. This time not so much.
good video. more AMGs pls
Wish I could afford one =(
Bicycle riders hogging the road 😂 happens over there to i see
I am 64 years of age...I therefore,have driven many cars...I ENJOY DRIVING THIS CAR MORE THAN ANY OTHER...THE DRIVE IS ORGASMIC....so I bought a AMG C43 CABRIOLET....
I would easily fit 5 packs of softness in the back.
Hmm... That came out wrong :/
Please include conversations on the audio system
Appreciate the great reviews, Tom. I’ve been subscribed since 5K and I’ll continue to watch. As you said, your reviews are always entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work.
did martin got payed coz i want my share 😂
75 k whew! Yeah your sport on with the ride. My c450 rides terrible as well . As far as value you will loose 35 k right off the bat! Might want to check in a cpo or used. But like you said it does look nice. Also check out the c63 as far as pricing.
beautiful car all round . Gr8 daily sports car. Keep in mind even the porsche 911 carrera makes 380 bhp. This makes more at half the price.
It looks sooooooooo good at 8:00
Imagine tinting out the windows. It would look so cold.
they're already tinted don't be a hooligan
@@TomCook1993 No, they're not.
buying all the toilet paper before it was cool LMAO :))))
There was a big omission from this review. Given that this is a refresh, some compare/contrast from the previous model would have been extremely useful. Some people passed on the previous models due to the ride. Supposedly the ride was improved (among other things). However, none of that was mentioned.
Overall, an OK review that could have been much better.
I love your outtakes at the end.
You have to black the badging it looks weird without it being dechromed like most of the car
This is the best car I could afford currently, is there any other coupe options on the same price level?
what way to shit,.....jjejejejejejejejejej
Thanks I saw a angeles st53 today but thanks for tour info on this I can’t afford but why did y’all end up in a bush?
BMW m4 still looks and drives better than this,only thing I rate is the engine note.
Are you saying you’d allow someone to smoke in a less expensive car? Gross!
Hey Tom! might be fun for you to do a video on all the gear you use, from your camera set up to tripod to the drone. I would be interested in watching, and I'm sure many of your fans would too.
Great production and don’t take them selves too seriously. Keep it up!
Also available as a wagon here in Canada... sorry USA :)
As long as you Canucks keep Justin Bieber, we'll call it a fair tradeoff.
Tom, great video. Where was this filmed?
You could always close the trunks on powered trunks of Mercedes, at least the S-Classes as far back as 2001. I remember way back when I had my first S-Class I opened the powered trunk with the switch inside for someone outside and wondered if it would close it, if I pushed the rocker the other direction and it did, always a cool party trick.
"if you subscribe i can pay him" he is all about money ..
Love the bloopers. Cute.
Tom, I am a huge fan, but I'm a little disappointed that most of the car reviews you've done for the last several months are mostly luxury and/or hybrid. I'd certainly enjoy seeing you do more mainstream vehicles as part of the mix. Thanks.
I try to do a mix. Sometimes I just have to go with what I can get.
I just found your channel and subbed! Excellent review. You just put this car at the top of my shopping list. Was having a hard time choosing between this, an Audi RS3, and an M2. This seems to be the best mix of comfort and performance.
Excellent choices. Have fun. I'm also a fan of the M235i if you're looking to save a little money. Great performance car for the real world.
I never know, Sarah Connor have a husband.
so Benz do not name the cars after the engine anymore? It use to be the 43 mean 4.3 liter engine looks like not any more
No, that went away with the last en C63, which had a 6,2l, but close enough. Now the new 63's have a 4.0l v8, the 43's 3.0l v6, 45's 2.0l 4cyl.
Murphy's law did get chya that day--- wowzers.
please review the e53amg coupe - good review ill subscribe!
All of your efforts do NOT go unappreciated, Tom and crew! The AMG series in any Mercedes would, just for myself, be an occasional use vehicle (i.e. weekender). For my daily driving, I prefer a vehicle that is quiet and compliant with the various road surfaces and tire options. I really love the interior of this particular AMG!
It was good seeing your personality at the end, makes the review more...human. I don’t know if you have to be very professional for The NY Times, but adding a bit of your personality to your videos might help you increase your following like other automotive RUclipsrs.
Just subbed love your outtaake with the trunk great sense of humor.
Love your channel Tom! I've been watching your channel for years now. Hope your channel blows up!
How much is a 2018 c43 amg ?
Tom I haven't seen you do these since nwcn closed down nice seeing you around.
Hey Tom. Your videos are very well executed. They are informative, fun, and visually stunning. Well done.
Boot dont open if your car door is open
Great and thorough car review as always. I like the way the Sedan looks better than the Coupe. Would love to see a comparison review between the C63 AMG and the GLC 63 AMG.
Great job and great review Tom and friends! Please keep up the good work, and I will whole-heartedly recommend this channel as often as possible!
Great drone shots, Tom! Glad you were able to retrieve it from the thorn patch!
Thank you Tom!😊
Another great video review.👍
The antics at the end were an added bonus!😜
Good job!
Nice
Very professional filming
A good review + Tom = Great. From a former C43 owner
Stepping into a C43 soon
Great video Tom, keep up the great work, cheers from a Canadian fan.
There was a coffee spill?? If yes, please help my OCD, was it cleaned up?
93455Driver You don’t have OCD.
blueberrycobbler Just need to know that the mess was cleaned up.....even though it is a press car.
I own a 2017 C300 Coupe. Absolutely gorgeous, one of the most beautiful cars on the road. Love the exterior and interior. But I wouldn't buy another COMAND system Mercedes. With an MBUX system, I'd consider it (maybe).
Why not command?
@@wagner0110 The voice recognition has been very frustrating. I don't think it's a bad system necessarily, but the new MBUX system has gotten good reviews. I would prefer the next generation of tech.
@@vwhite3055 Really? That is strange. Mine works perfectly. I use it alot for navigation and calls. But for sure the MBUX would be nicer.
Tom thanks for the amazing vlogs as always.
I always love your videos and I want to see more.
It’s was fun to see the outtakes!
I imagine the non amg rides better but is a second or two slower to 60?
Jeff Sawyer exactly, people who want a more sporty ride chose this model
thanks from germany
cool video thanks
Lo haces entretenido e interesante!
👍 like ur vids, keep it up
aryyyt, subscribed :)
And in Canada we have the wagon! 😍
Thank you!!
Keep up the good work Tom.
More bloopers please!
Great Review as always!!!
