I love Matt's expression at the camera when Ginny moves over the transmission tunnel closer to him, brilliant. I'm a big fan of Mercedes' new design style, both inside and out.
BMW’s too much for me, everyone has one here. And it’s always the drug dealers and people that try to show off flashiness. It’s a turn off for me to buy one around where I live.
Carbuyer With all the respect, you should've matched them on specs and engines. The Audi is really put down because it was a base model. Although you mentioned the touchscreens and such are not standard, you compared these 3 cars' interior and exterior based on the cars you had, and not the "Range" you mention over and over. Again, I love all the videos carbuyer produces, but this one felt a bit unfair.
Jan Nissen Of course, headroom depends also on seat height. That said, this C class does have more slope (like the so-called 4-door hardtops) which is always going to be felt inside.
MRT for sure. My 2013 a4 looks so much better than this Audi. Better look better wheels better drivetrain... interior looks amazing as well. Strange comparison.
MrPeterthepilot Both stereotypes It was sarcastic if you didn't notice...they're posh and think theyre better than everyone becasue they're from Britain
It's funny because if you look at the other reviews the BMW comes second because of something they did with their suspension. It also site higher with more wheel well which I hate.
BMWs are desirable in the UK because the roads we have here suit the BMW rear wheel drive characteristics very well. The roads are often small, twisty and fun to bomb down in a well balanced and sharp steering saloon or coupe. I own a 320d saloon and the low end torque, turbo and handling mean that I love driving it on UK country roads. When I take it onto the motorway (interstate), the suspension and ride are a little bit jarring. If I were living in the USA, I would probably go for a better cruising car, like the Audi or Mercedes. They don't cut along, they breeze along. My dad has the A4 avant and it makes perfect sense for the more senior driver. Comfy suspension, dependable and practical drive.
I'm still looking to buy a car and in the past two weeks, I've test driven a BMW 3series efficient dynamic and a Mercedes C class. I, personally and based on my 27 years of driving experience, think that BMW is slightly a better car than the C class. The differences are so tiny but tangible if you really have the eagle eyes and sixth sense.
Wait a few more months for the new A4 to be launched then do another review... They're comparing brand new models with a 2008 design... and it still holds up
I rode in all of them and nothing charms me as much as an A4. It's like a mother on wheels. Smooth suspension, incredibly sensitive braking, small and nimble to get you through many holes, AWD rapes snow, and very nice turbo that kicks you when speeding up is needed (NJ merge lanes, which don't exist).
***** Its cheaper casue the interior is crap and the engine needs service more then twice as often as Saab says. Unless you go for the diesel witch is not from Saab :D
Jen and Matt work great together, I couldn't of asked for more in a review, informative, graphic takes, even filmed great, and amusing in the best way, loved this
Pound for pound BMW is the better choice of the 3.Sure Merc has the looks and the premium "high" owner's interior but BMW has the style, avangard , and the best driver experience.Carbuyer, verdict spot on (former merc owner)
From all the good points of the Mercedes over the other two cars, I can't believe they didn't make it win. What the hell came over them? Mercedes-Benz C Class: 1) smoother 2) quieter 3) most relaxing to drive 4) best-looking 5) holds it's value better 6) more leg room in the rear 7) better quality cabin and parts 8) better designed cabin / more ergonomic 9) more reliable than the other two 10) lowest emissions How can that not win? As a W204 C Class owner myself (this one is a W205), this one looks really nice inside - love that cabin. I'm glad the Audi came last, as I think it deserves to come last One last point, The diesel on the Merc was noisier than the Audi according to Matt. However, Audi diesels are the second noisiest diesels of ANY car make in the UK (bar none), after Skoda, and that's a fact, not just my opinion, so I don't know where he's got that info from. Just to clarify: Noisiest diesel engines of any car in the UK = Skoda Second noisiest diesel engines of any car in the UK = Audi
Just bought the new C class, it's amazing but you need to put the AMG pack on it or you get that glossy scratch prone plastic splashed everywhere. AMG line replaces it with stunning black ashwood.
Don't quite get where they're hearing the C Class engine to be loud! Maybe if you put the foot down but once the engine is warmed up and cruising it's almost silent. Maybe the other two are slightly quieter but compared to most cars on the road these days, it's very very quiet
What a bad review, get all cars at the same spec and the audi comes up, they got an entry level model and reviewed that against top of the range models. Poor!
Beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder if they think the C-Class is the most stylish. Big bulgy headlights, ridiculously oversized badge on the grille - its the car equivalent of Medallion Man! The interior is stylish though.... Good comparison review though. Works well have 2 presenters.
Well, I love the new C class, but variation in the video is the worst for me, I don't like the exterior without AMG package and with a star on the grill at the same time On the other hand BMW has M package and red interior which is the best looking variation for me personally I mean it would be fairer if they compare THAT 3 series with a C class with the AMG package and red interior with black marbled wood with a matte finish to decide which one is more attractive visually
Carbuyer Why no Lexus IS300h? As a company car its the cheapest option to go for so it would have been appropriate to include it in the test, especially since Lexus are trying to change their image. Maybe you could try to shake things up and look at alternative vehicles, not just the obvious, predictable and badge snobs' German choices?
Ok the Mercedes is the best for your money because it has good fuel economy the best interior good looks and the best for reliability how come it did not come 1st
Well done Ginny & Mat, great review. Agree with the 3 being a better package, those seats are amazingly comfortable. C class severely let down by the head room.
hell yeah, have my new BMW 2016 3 series this whole year and I love it. I use to drive c-class around town for my old job, nothing can compare to the sports feel and great suspension you'd expect the ultimate driving machine to have!! #BeamerAllDay
fantastic review, practical review; honest review and my fav BMW won :) ! Becoming a huge fan of your channel and review guyz way to go. I'm an owner of E46 2001 318i now im moving on to E90 320i 2005 :) ! Proud to be fan and owner of Beamer babies :)
oh dear, kids everywhere complaining that their car hasn't won...sad... but here is, what I think (btw, i'm a merc kinda guy, so for me it's the merc, that I recently drove) surely, the audi is a bit outdated, you gotta say, that it is almost the oldest car of the audi range and it has to be replaced, yet it also is the smartest, carbuyer is right with that. it's a vw brand car and you can feel it. Personally, the design isn't my kinda think, but it looks okay and a bit sporty, but as i said, a bit old. the bmw, well...it just isn't my kind of car, i absolutely don't like the headlights, for me they look terrible touching the grill, the side line is sporty, agreed, and looks rather nice and the back is cool, too. The inside...well...beemer drivers love, i'm not convinced by it, the shifter doesn't look as cool as in the 5 series, the wents look old, some nobs look like there are out of cheap plastic and the steering wheel isn't pretty, too. For whatever reason, I quite like the red seats. well and the merc...i like it very much, from the outside and the indside...as they said, it just looks special. i can tell, that they are right with the materials, everything you touch feels expensive and well built. it just so much better than the old c-class and thats why the media likes the merc very much. the ride in this car is just incredible, it actually feels better than the actual e-class, much more like a 5 series but lighter. enginewise, because the merc is newer, its engines are more economical, the audi's are a bit old and the bmw's are trimmed on sportyness, which makes it less economical. yes, the bmw is the sportier one, again the audi is a bit old, but i can tell that the merc is becoming sportier, especially by those settings you can chose from. it just drives amazingly, thats what i can tell, i don't wanna say that the others will drive like shit, why should i? i don't know, that's the case... for me then, the merc wins, because it's the most economical, the most technically advanced, i personally know tha command system better and the new c-class looks so special, not actually in that configuration they got, but it still looks very nice to me. The Mercedes is more expensive than the other one's, right...but it's that little bit more special and i think that's worse it. I'm ready for the hates :P
That's why I bought Mercedes C200. If you take it like this it's a winner no doubts about that. Take it with petrol engine!!! Take it with 7G-Tronic Plus. Take it without dwarfy sunroof! Take it with Burmester Surround Sound System. The rest of options is not as critical. 100% satisfaction. 100% comfort and silence (not in AMG trim though) and pure pleasure to travel in it.
Didn't really like the new 3 series for the longest time, but this new C class definitely makes it look better (and it has grown on me quite a bit too).
it really does just come down to what matters most to you when you're looking for a car like this. The BMW is a true sports sedan with luxury on top. The Mercedes is a true luxury car with sport on top.
Mercedes won almost all categories: looks exterior and interior, build quality, ride comfort, noise isolation, value for money, and most efficient. How the hell bmw won this comparisan?
I agree that the auto boxes are really good now. I was adamant that I wanted a manual c class, but after having driven the auto I decided to order that instead, it suits the car a lot better.
Evan Fish .. you like luxury stuff, hence your preference. But it's OK, you are young, if you don't get rich, you'll curb your preferences accordingly. Also, no one can say BMW are not luxurious, in fact they are very much so. So, even for you a BMW would fit into luxury category, but it will fit better with your age group. Mercedes, sadly, as LOLBT said, it's for old people (comfort, best cruiser, etc, etc, all boring)
Haroon Hes Matt Watson from Carwow right now. He does drag races with Yiannimize which is someone who wrapped a car for KSI which is a member of the sidemen. Probably the most popular UK youtubers other than Pewdiepie which lives in UK
which one do you prefer .... i don't like phones, whats ur opinion on windows phone. Don't tell me its Audi. Love Merc.... for its a dream car for most.
I really don't get why the commentators on this video are comparing low-tier luxury vehicles with brands of mobile phone operating system. The BMW's the sportier drive. That's its USP, it's personality. In the same manner, the Mercedes-Benz was the more luxurious vehicle. There's no such thing as "the real deal" because they have their own buyers and their own unique personalities.
I would say: 1-C-class 2-BMW 3-Series 3-Audi's A4, however wait for the new generation late next year and it will be quite differnt Note I usually prefer Audi's to other 2, but I have to be honest with this. The C class looks the best, has the best interior, less break downs, more comfortable, best seats. Yes the BMW is more sports but if I wanted a sports car I wouldnt go with a saloon
If you want Performance go for a BMW. If you want luxury, poshness and space go for a Mercedes and if you want a car that will never match against these two, go for an Audi.
The BMW is the benchmark for a reason. The Mercedes is hideous and if that is the sportier model, it's only for women. It is way too soft. The Audi looks like an appliance. It is a shame VW is disquising Jettas as A4s and charging thousands more. The Audi is also FWD just like the VW it's based on. A BMW is a BMW.
Your right BMW is a BMW. BMW and Volkswagen are the only genuine German brands that aren't owned by anybody. Mercedes is owned by Daimler(truck brand) and Audi is owned by Volkswagen.
Are you a bit thick? The A4 is based on the VW-group platform with longitudal engines, together with A5 A6 A7 A8 Q5 VW Phaeton Bentley Continental etc. The Jetta is based on the MQB platform with an transverse engine configuration together with A3 Q3 Golf Rapid Octavia Leon etc.
Mats Silvander .. he is still right. May not be a Jetta, but that means that all the others based on this are too expensive for their money. Also, did you hear?! they'll make a "new" platform that will be common to Golf, Passat or any other derrivates of these 2. Buy VW!!! Essentially a 3 models company, but with 10's of names for them.
The Audi bashing made this kind of boring, would have been interesting to have some kind of Jaguar or a Volvo in comparison. I know the idea was prob to have these 3 known german "posh" brands but it was basically a Merc v Bmw comparison as Audi was "so old" in comparison, also i think a Jaguar or a Volvo would have brought a different dimension to the review to a certain extent.
I test drove many of these cars and bought a 2015 BMW 328 I M it is hands down the better car for the money and Mb and Audi can't touch the BMW warranty .
Fritz Rottmann Keep dreaming..... Kaisuke971 is right BMW's are getting better and better as they keep coming, even the BMW i8's technology is so advanced it right there with the McLaren p1, Porsche 918, and Ferrari laferrari(Million dollar hyper cars)
***** Well so far the BMW 3 series is still class leading, to be honest I don't think Jaguar has a chance. The only real good rival for the BMW 3 series is the Tesla model 3
Never drove Audi before...but C-Class is luxury, comfy and stylish, As now i'm a teenager i prefer fun and sporty so i go to 3 series...don't get me wrong! I just like sportiness over comfortness
Lee-harry C If you can look at his Google+ profile picture, he already has glasses, so the glasses are NOT working for him, therefore he needs a surgery.
Ok here's my opinion as I've owned a 3 series base model, if you get a 3 series get it well equipped otherwise it doesn't feel premium. it's more of a drivers car than the Benz but they don't make the BMW like they used to in the past, they were very solid cars because not many people could afford them. Now they just spit them off the production line and where I'm from every one has them they just lease them then drive the shit out of them and wait for the next person to take over the car. If you get one used their mostly roughly driven might cost more in maintenance. The quality of BMW is cheap compared to the Benz, the new c class Benz is a very solid car, high in luxury, performance is nice there's 3 modes so sport + you can feel it. Ambient lighting is awesome and now they sell the Mercedes logo projector which shines the logo on the floor when the drivers and passengers doors are open. Also you get very good gas mileage with the Benz. The BMW 3 series grill/lights has never changed it makes it so boring after owning it a while. After all if you google it Mercedes was the first car invented by carl Benz. I know how people say it's an old mans car, I can say not the c class the e class and up are for the older clientele. If you move into real amg line which the engine is signed by the person who assembled it those would blow bmw m class or any of it away, here you see 16 year old buying them and modifying it mostly, also the new c class without the premium packages and amg sport package is not a good bet. Some BMW are banged up have broken bumpers and dents in them driving on the road, people buy them then get into fender benders and can't afford to get them fixed. In the end it if you want 1. Performance 2. Luxury Go for BMW for the money If you want 1. Luxury 2. Performance Go for Benz If you can afford real amg go that much better bet than BMW. My conclusion Mercedes Benz All the way Classy + Performance Now they have the 2017 c350e in hybrid, 275hp, with burmester sound and other options as standard in china they were showing this new hybrid c350e at a value of $100,000 usd fully loaded. Thanks
I love BMW. But you get a better overall deal with Mercedes if considering a comfy cruiser. With a few options the BMW becomes way much more expensive than the C class. If considering Audi think about this: you're just buying a Skoda Octavia with a nice expensive wrapping to pretend you're in the same class as BMW or Mercedes (which is fine, but not my philosophy).
I love Matt's expression at the camera when Ginny moves over the transmission tunnel closer to him, brilliant. I'm a big fan of Mercedes' new design style, both inside and out.
I came in, looked at the like/dislike bar, realized there weren't many dislikes. I then said: "The BMW must have won".
(And I was right)
spot on BMW rocks!
11volt i
BMW’s too much for me, everyone has one here. And it’s always the drug dealers and people that try to show off flashiness. It’s a turn off for me to buy one around where I live.
Tulia that's exactly the reason I get put off buying a bmw
And I really like how this video goes smoothly, detailed but not boring. And the chemistry between the reviewers. Like like like!
Base a4 vs high end merc c and bmw 3
Tanay Khandelwal - as we mentioned at the start of the review, the cars aren't matched on specs or engines. This is a review of the range as a whole.
Carbuyer With all the respect, you should've matched them on specs and engines. The Audi is really put down because it was a base model. Although you mentioned the touchscreens and such are not standard, you compared these 3 cars' interior and exterior based on the cars you had, and not the "Range" you mention over and over. Again, I love all the videos carbuyer produces, but this one felt a bit unfair.
Carbuyer
you could have waited for the new a4 to come out before making a comparing video like this.
And AUDI is a gen older than 3/C... Weak review.
Thats what i thought what the hell !! Unless they couldn't get the car in time for the review :-)
4:04.... I see what you did there 😂😂
so...
1.BMW
2.MB
3.AUDI
Design: BMW
Interior: Mercedes
Driving: who knows? I've never driven these cars...
I'd take the BMW
Complaining about the Mercedes' head room isn't fair because you have the sunroof installed. Without it, the headroom is just fine.
The sunroof steals maximum 3-4 cm of headroom, which still is fairly small, even with 6-7 it might be a bit close to touching your head on the roof.
Jan Nissen Of course, headroom depends also on seat height. That said, this C class does have more slope (like the so-called 4-door hardtops) which is always going to be felt inside.
Thank you so much sir or madame for the insight
Why compare a base A4 with fully equipped C class and 3 series?
For logical comparison like this, it's very essential to have 3 similarly priced car.
Very harsh to compare the base A4 compared these still though. I know your comparing the whole range, but yeah. Should have been a mid-range at least.
MRT for sure. My 2013 a4 looks so much better than this Audi. Better look better wheels better drivetrain... interior looks amazing as well. Strange comparison.
A4 S line 2016 saloon is quite nice imho
Typical British taste. They will choose the BMW no matter how good the others are!. And I don't blame them. BMW is quite desirable in England.
I dont undrstand how BMW is more desirable than audi and mercedes in the UK, but alright.
'All Brits are Douch-bags'. Now there's an intelligent comment........!! FFS!!
MrPeterthepilot Both stereotypes It was sarcastic if you didn't notice...they're posh and think theyre better than everyone becasue they're from Britain
It's funny because if you look at the other reviews the BMW comes second because of something they did with their suspension. It also site higher with more wheel well which I hate.

Bmw f30 facelift or mercedes w205 has the best quality interior?
Where is Rebecca ? :(
She left from the channel :(
She now realized that the cars are not kitchens
Wait a few more months for the new A4 to be launched then do another review...
They're comparing brand new models with a 2008 design... and it still holds up
Woman: ah, you see Mat, this Mercedes doesn't have a gear knob.
Mat: Then what is that you're holding ? bow chicka bow wow
I rode in all of them and nothing charms me as much as an A4. It's like a mother on wheels. Smooth suspension, incredibly sensitive braking, small and nimble to get you through many holes, AWD rapes snow, and very nice turbo that kicks you when speeding up is needed (NJ merge lanes, which don't exist).
What about the Volvo S60?
Hakan Tatar Alright, Saab 9-3
***** Saab ftw. 9-3 over all this generic shit.
kirbyswarp I'd take the 2014 aero over any of these cars, it's cheaper and most likely better, less computers in it..
great indeed but still not as decent as those
***** Its cheaper casue the interior is crap and the engine needs service more then twice as often as Saab says. Unless you go for the diesel witch is not from Saab :D
my dads got the bmw and all i can say is that it put a smile on his face on twisty roads. awesome car
Jen and Matt work great together, I couldn't of asked for more in a review, informative, graphic takes, even filmed great, and amusing in the best way, loved this
The NEW MERCEDES C CLASS IS THE BEST OUT OF THEM ALL!
Pound for pound BMW is the better choice of the 3.Sure Merc has the looks and the premium "high" owner's interior but BMW has the style, avangard , and the best driver experience.Carbuyer, verdict spot on (former merc owner)
From all the good points of the Mercedes over the other two cars, I can't believe they didn't make it win. What the hell came over them?
Mercedes-Benz C Class:
1) smoother
2) quieter
3) most relaxing to drive
4) best-looking
5) holds it's value better
6) more leg room in the rear
7) better quality cabin and parts
8) better designed cabin / more ergonomic
9) more reliable than the other two
10) lowest emissions
How can that not win?
As a W204 C Class owner myself (this one is a W205), this one looks really nice inside - love that cabin.
I'm glad the Audi came last, as I think it deserves to come last
One last point, The diesel on the Merc was noisier than the Audi according to Matt. However, Audi diesels are the second noisiest diesels of ANY car make in the UK (bar none), after Skoda, and that's a fact, not just my opinion, so I don't know where he's got that info from.
Just to clarify:
Noisiest diesel engines of any car in the UK = Skoda
Second noisiest diesel engines of any car in the UK = Audi
Just bought the new C class, it's amazing but you need to put the AMG pack on it or you get that glossy scratch prone plastic splashed everywhere. AMG line replaces it with stunning black ashwood.
+Disinf3ctant I really like the gloss black plastic, although I will say, the black ash is nicer.
I've seen one for sale with wood trim (not dark black wood), brown wood. And light grey or white leather. In brilliant blue. It looks incredible
Mercedes all day every day.
+Ronald Boutan for who? mafia?
You are part of the mafia buy a g wagon the locking noise sounds like a gun shot
c class should be first
Don't quite get where they're hearing the C Class engine to be loud! Maybe if you put the foot down but once the engine is warmed up and cruising it's almost silent. Maybe the other two are slightly quieter but compared to most cars on the road these days, it's very very quiet
That Audi dashboard design is unacceptable for 2014. A camry has more interesting interior than that
This is easily the best comparison of those three ever. Well done !
Nice review. Ginny is doing good
What a bad review, get all cars at the same spec and the audi comes up, they got an entry level model and reviewed that against top of the range models. Poor!
BMW defiantly is the best!!! Audi isn't good and Merc looks way too flash, BMW just right!!! :-)
You should go specsavers
why the Audi is boring and the Merc to flash
Fuck bmw
Beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder if they think the C-Class is the most stylish. Big bulgy headlights, ridiculously oversized badge on the grille - its the car equivalent of Medallion Man! The interior is stylish though....
Good comparison review though. Works well have 2 presenters.
Well, I love the new C class, but variation in the video is the worst for me, I don't like the exterior without AMG package and with a star on the grill at the same time
On the other hand BMW has M package and red interior which is the best looking variation for me personally
I mean it would be fairer if they compare THAT 3 series with a C class with the AMG package and red interior with black marbled wood with a matte finish to decide which one is more attractive visually
Ramiz Farzaliyev -
as we mentioned at the start of the review, the cars aren't matched on specs or engines. This is a review of the range as a whole.
the c class looks wrong to mee. its just like a squeezed up s-class
Carbuyer
Why no Lexus IS300h? As a company car its the cheapest option to go for so it would have been appropriate to include it in the test, especially since Lexus are trying to change their image. Maybe you could try to shake things up and look at alternative vehicles, not just the obvious, predictable and badge snobs' German choices?
Rayaan Shaikh ''who no'', that grammar
Calm down grammar nazi. It was meant to say why, idiot
those fake conversations looks so stupid... don't do that, please
Tadas reviews are always scripted
I think they were great. Maybe because I watched at 1.25 speed
Loved the video...Thank you. Can you make another video comparing 2015 E-Class to Audi A6 and BMW 5 series
Um I understand their the big three but where's the Volvo S60? :O
Ok the Mercedes is the best for your money because it has good fuel economy the best interior good looks and the best for reliability how come it did not come 1st
Because everything you said was a lie.
Reliabilty based on older models . New models dont pre judge .
Well done Ginny & Mat, great review. Agree with the 3 being a better package, those seats are amazingly comfortable. C class severely let down by the head room.
the new c class is a perfect car.
+vsboy25 perfect for drug lords and old farts
dontusehername its a car that embodies everything that is class.
vsboy25 the backend looks weird
Comparing higher end models of BMW and Mercedes, and a base model Audi, great way to make comparisons.
hell yeah, have my new BMW 2016 3 series this whole year and I love it. I use to drive c-class around town for my old job, nothing can compare to the sports feel and great suspension you'd expect the ultimate driving machine to have!! #BeamerAllDay
Gay boy
fantastic review, practical review; honest review and my fav BMW won :) ! Becoming a huge fan of your channel and review guyz way to go. I'm an owner of E46 2001 318i now im moving on to E90 320i 2005 :) ! Proud to be fan and owner of Beamer babies :)
oh dear, kids everywhere complaining that their car hasn't won...sad...
but here is, what I think (btw, i'm a merc kinda guy, so for me it's the merc, that I recently drove)
surely, the audi is a bit outdated, you gotta say, that it is almost the oldest car of the audi range and it has to be replaced, yet it also is the smartest, carbuyer is right with that. it's a vw brand car and you can feel it. Personally, the design isn't my kinda think, but it looks okay and a bit sporty, but as i said, a bit old.
the bmw, well...it just isn't my kind of car, i absolutely don't like the headlights, for me they look terrible touching the grill, the side line is sporty, agreed, and looks rather nice and the back is cool, too. The inside...well...beemer drivers love, i'm not convinced by it, the shifter doesn't look as cool as in the 5 series, the wents look old, some nobs look like there are out of cheap plastic and the steering wheel isn't pretty, too. For whatever reason, I quite like the red seats.

enginewise, because the merc is newer, its engines are more economical, the audi's are a bit old and the bmw's are trimmed on sportyness, which makes it less economical.
yes, the bmw is the sportier one, again the audi is a bit old, but i can tell that the merc is becoming sportier, especially by those settings you can chose from. it just drives amazingly, thats what i can tell, i don't wanna say that the others will drive like shit, why should i? i don't know, that's the case...
for me then, the merc wins, because it's the most economical, the most technically advanced, i personally know tha command system better and the new c-class looks so special, not actually in that configuration they got, but it still looks very nice to me.
The Mercedes is more expensive than the other one's, right...but it's that little bit more special and i think that's worse it.
I'm ready for the hates :P
That's why I bought Mercedes C200. If you take it like this it's a winner no doubts about that.
Take it with petrol engine!!!
Take it with 7G-Tronic Plus.
Take it without dwarfy sunroof!
Take it with Burmester Surround Sound System.
The rest of options is not as critical.
100% satisfaction. 100% comfort and silence (not in AMG trim though) and pure pleasure to travel in it.
Miss rebeca(
How is BMW handling compared to Acura SH-AWD handling?
2:39 The whole review
do you think it would be possible to put km per liter somewhere on the screen when you say how much miles per gallon it does?
4:02 I see what you did there😏
Didn't really like the new 3 series for the longest time, but this new C class definitely makes it look better (and it has grown on me quite a bit too).
this was a love letter to mercedes till the end, when bmw won
There is nothing to say about Mercedes C class because it’s always best 😎
4:03 Good man Matt
What is mat watson doing in carbuyer
I am really disappointed with Audi. Always been a huge fan of the A4/A5, it just seems like they forgot to update the designs
that's an outdated model wait for the new A4
Jas Sandhar They are coming with an updated redesign of the model this year. From B8 to B9. Let's wait and see how that compares.
+Systolic120mmHg it still sucks
***** Just like you.
it really does just come down to what matters most to you when you're looking for a car like this. The BMW is a true sports sedan with luxury on top. The Mercedes is a true luxury car with sport on top.
This review should be re-done when 2015 A4 hits the market
Love the new style of review, just like a conversation; Excellent!
Mercedes won almost all categories: looks exterior and interior, build quality, ride comfort, noise isolation, value for money, and most efficient. How the hell bmw won this comparisan?
Please compare in the same way Golf, Focus and 308 II.
The real question is which one is more reliable?
none of them
Double-O $¢rilla mercedes
What about the face lifted Volvo S60??
"The BMW is the ultimate driving machine... I wouldn't have the manual"
Eh what?
Hristo Mitev If you're buying a car for driver engagement then you're missing a huge part of that by getting an auto.
I agree that the auto boxes are really good now. I was adamant that I wanted a manual c class, but after having driven the auto I decided to order that instead, it suits the car a lot better.
So u compared a A4 fwd base model to a bmw 330d with m sports package and merc c220 cdi with sports package..
there will always be iPhone/Mercedes people, and Android/BMW people...
and Audi/Blackberry people lol
Dragos Galben True! In my opinion Mercedes are the best luxury cars! :D
Dragos Galben its more like old people like Mercedes and young people like bmw, the same with the phones...
LOLBTLOLBT Im 16... I prefer Mercedes, and Iphones. lol
Evan Fish .. you like luxury stuff, hence your preference. But it's OK, you are young, if you don't get rich, you'll curb your preferences accordingly.
Also, no one can say BMW are not luxurious, in fact they are very much so. So, even for you a BMW would fit into luxury category, but it will fit better with your age group. Mercedes, sadly, as LOLBT said, it's for old people (comfort, best cruiser, etc, etc, all boring)
I think they are siblings, the video was superb, I love the Carbuyer RUclips channel
They're right the BMW 3 series is the best small exec in the world period.
Which one Is costy to run?!
would pick c class in this lot.
The BMW 3 series is a fantastic car overall. We're driving a 2017 that we're very happy with
4:02 Top Lad
He's gay
Haroon he’s not. I don’t think.
Haroon Hes Matt Watson from Carwow right now. He does drag races with Yiannimize which is someone who wrapped a car for KSI which is a member of the sidemen. Probably the most popular UK youtubers other than Pewdiepie which lives in UK
The buttons for media radio in mercedes are in front of your eyes to see it easily. The position of the buttons are at the right place
This was by far Matt's worst review.
This woman degraded the quality of this review so bad.
Does the C class have a manual transmission?
Yes,it comes with manual but not at all versions...
Mercedes is mainly purchased for the feel of fanciness while with BMW you get it all, the real deal!
Just like iPhone and Android phones :p
which one do you prefer ....
i don't like phones,
whats ur opinion on windows phone. Don't tell me its Audi.
Love Merc.... for its a dream car for most.
I really don't get why the commentators on this video are comparing low-tier luxury vehicles with brands of mobile phone operating system.
The BMW's the sportier drive. That's its USP, it's personality.
In the same manner, the Mercedes-Benz was the more luxurious vehicle. There's no such thing as "the real deal" because they have their own buyers and their own unique personalities.
amen
Rather stupid comparison that is.
I would say:
1-C-class
2-BMW 3-Series
3-Audi's A4, however wait for the new generation late next year and it will be quite differnt
Note I usually prefer Audi's to other 2, but I have to be honest with this. The C class looks the best, has the best interior, less break downs, more comfortable, best seats. Yes the BMW is more sports but if I wanted a sports car I wouldnt go with a saloon
If you want Performance go for a BMW. If you want luxury, poshness and space go for a Mercedes and if you want a car that will never match against these two, go for an Audi.
My dad's always said "a merc should always be black or silver" the white looks nice with red interior though 😍
Mercedes is the best
Which one is best?
The BMW is the benchmark for a reason. The Mercedes is hideous and if that is the sportier model, it's only for women. It is way too soft. The Audi looks like an appliance. It is a shame VW is disquising Jettas as A4s and charging thousands more. The Audi is also FWD just like the VW it's based on. A BMW is a BMW.
Yes, yes it is, Kenyon.
get with the times - A4's and Jetta's haven't been on the same platform in years.
Your right BMW is a BMW. BMW and Volkswagen are the only genuine German brands that aren't owned by anybody. Mercedes is owned by Daimler(truck brand) and Audi is owned by Volkswagen.
Are you a bit thick? The A4 is based on the VW-group platform with longitudal engines, together with A5 A6 A7 A8 Q5 VW Phaeton Bentley Continental etc. The Jetta is based on the MQB platform with an transverse engine configuration together with A3 Q3 Golf Rapid Octavia Leon etc.
Mats Silvander .. he is still right. May not be a Jetta, but that means that all the others based on this are too expensive for their money. Also, did you hear?! they'll make a "new" platform that will be common to Golf, Passat or any other derrivates of these 2. Buy VW!!! Essentially a 3 models company, but with 10's of names for them.
After the first two minutes, I thought Mercedes sent you a check before shooting this. In the end, I realized I was wrong. Great review!
That's exactly what I thought!!!
Thats why bmw wins
The Audi bashing made this kind of boring, would have been interesting to have some kind of Jaguar or a Volvo in comparison. I know the idea was prob to have these 3 known german "posh" brands but it was basically a Merc v Bmw comparison as Audi was "so old" in comparison, also i think a Jaguar or a Volvo would have brought a different dimension to the review to a certain extent.
Or yeah, like also mentioned, Lexus & Infiniti.
Jaguar doesnt have a matching car yet. The smallest Jaguar XF compares to 5-series, E-Class and A6.
yeah - what was the point of comparing the Audi when this is it's last model year...? that's a waste.
Ashvin Ujhoodha Three is thé Jaguar XE but it's not on the market yet.
I own a BMW (e90),good car but their audio systems are awful. You have to pay hundreds to upgrade to the HK or Alpine systems.
How do these cars compare with cars like the Skoda Ocavia and the Peugeot 508?
its like comparing cycle with cars.
not to be rude though.
I test drove many of these cars and bought a 2015 BMW 328 I M it is hands down the better car for the money and Mb and Audi can't touch the BMW warranty .
+mpadil At least Mercedes owners can afford a good and fast car...
+TehZured no doubt MB are very good cars I just prefer the BMW over it and Audi .
Dang you shouldve went a year older and got a 335i for a similar price
+TehZured c300 are not fast
Joseph Northington
faster than it's competitors. I also have a supercharged 2016 mustang. That's faster than any bmw ever made by more than a second
Who do you prefer working with Ginny? Batch or Mat?
Stop hating: the BMW won, you cannot argue with that.
mercedes will destroy bmw in a few years this bmw time is at the end mercedes will win for sure
Fritz Rottmann We'll see... What i see is that BMWs are getting better and better (just look at the i8 and the upcoming 7series and M5)
Fritz Rottmann Keep dreaming..... Kaisuke971 is right BMW's are getting better and better as they keep coming, even the BMW i8's technology is so advanced it right there with the McLaren p1, Porsche 918, and Ferrari laferrari(Million dollar hyper cars)
***** Well so far the BMW 3 series is still class leading, to be honest I don't think Jaguar has a chance. The only real good rival for the BMW 3 series is the Tesla model 3
***** Well just another A4 yet, nothing special i guess
Hey Carbuyer have you made an updated comparison 2016 video ?
This review was brought to you by Mercedes Benz.
But bmw won.
He apparently didn't finish the video before rushing to the comments lol.
Never drove Audi before...but C-Class is luxury, comfy and stylish, As now i'm a teenager i prefer fun and sporty so i go to 3 series...don't get me wrong! I just like sportiness over comfortness
Real men will choose bmw
Real men choose an S class
Only a pussy would
Real men don't give two fucks lol
+1jiatin Real men choose whatever the fuck they want.
+1jiatin The C class is such a girl's car. The only people I see driving it are girls.
Good review by the new CarBuyer team!
It's really a shame that until now the bmw still doesn't have LED daytime running lights on their car....
It does have them. two circles and an eyebrow strip.
it's a shame that your optician still lies to you
Perhaps you need to an eye surgery.
You need glasses mate
Lee-harry C If you can look at his Google+ profile picture, he already has glasses, so the glasses are NOT working for him, therefore he needs a surgery.
Ok here's my opinion as I've owned a 3 series base model, if you get a 3 series get it well equipped otherwise it doesn't feel premium. it's more of a drivers car than the Benz but they don't make the BMW like they used to in the past, they were very solid cars because not many people could afford them. Now they just spit them off the production line and where I'm from every one has them they just lease them then drive the shit out of them and wait for the next person to take over the car. If you get one used their mostly roughly driven might cost more in maintenance. The quality of BMW is cheap compared to the Benz, the new c class Benz is a very solid car, high in luxury, performance is nice there's 3 modes so sport + you can feel it. Ambient lighting is awesome and now they sell the Mercedes logo projector which shines the logo on the floor when the drivers and passengers doors are open. Also you get very good gas mileage with the Benz. The BMW 3 series grill/lights has never changed it makes it so boring after owning it a while. After all if you google it Mercedes was the first car invented by carl Benz. I know how people say it's an old mans car, I can say not the c class the e class and up are for the older clientele. If you move into real amg line which the engine is signed by the person who assembled it those would blow bmw m class or any of it away, here you see 16 year old buying them and modifying it mostly, also the new c class without the premium packages and amg sport package is not a good bet. Some BMW are banged up have broken bumpers and dents in them driving on the road, people buy them then get into fender benders and can't afford to get them fixed. In the end it if you want 1. Performance
2. Luxury
Go for BMW for the money
If you want
1. Luxury
2. Performance
Go for Benz
If you can afford real amg go that much better bet than BMW.
My conclusion
Mercedes Benz All the way Classy + Performance
Now they have the 2017 c350e in hybrid, 275hp, with burmester sound and other options as standard in china they were showing this new hybrid c350e at a value of $100,000 usd fully loaded. Thanks
BMW
Mercedes
Audi
Great video guys. Keep up the good work.
She's got lovely silky hair. I want to know what conditioner she uses....
Good car review by both presenters.
She uses castrol magnatec :)
Max Gafa Touché! :-)
I love BMW.
But you get a better overall deal with Mercedes if considering a comfy cruiser. With a few options the BMW becomes way much more expensive than the C class.
If considering Audi think about this: you're just buying a Skoda Octavia with a nice expensive wrapping to pretend you're in the same class as BMW or Mercedes (which is fine, but not my philosophy).
Audi obviously looses
