I really love Mercedes, they are doing good job. I didnt like C and E class from 90s and early 2000's, but with w204 and w212 they were back on the track. Just beautiful cars. W205 and and w213 are great. Ofc new A class is something not like that small box that was before...
Matt please add the other videos of practicality 360° infotainment and group test along with the reviews on youtube..theres generally a delay of a day or 2 between these videos..its good for us to watch them together one after the other..😊 Also..please add the links to youtube videos directly rather than carwow website..
Not sure when this video was recorded, but the Configurator on the Mercedes-Benz UK website shows you can now get 4Matic option within the C-Class Range. So, it is available in 4x4.
I think carwow and Mat Watson generally do excellent and concise reviews, but one thing never mentioned is reliability and dealer satisfaction ratings. I realise this is probably an intentional omission as you’re a sales outfit (which is fair enough), however for me those points are massively important - especially if you were choosing between something like a Merc, BMW or Audi for example?!
I love how you guys separate the whole infotainment review into another video. All the other reviewers try to cram it in when it's not really a priority for most.
i just went to look at the new c class in a merc showroom and came out preferring the new b class.i think if you are looking at the c class,the e class makes more sense.on the other hand i found the b class a roomier option and a choice of power above 134 bhp either petrol or diesel a better buy than a c class.does anyone else agree with this.just something that made more sense to me after the visit.the new e class by the way is probably the best in its class. a truly amazing machine.
If you want to buy it today, it’s still a good choice. I bought an 2014 220d model, so 10 years old car and it still looks and sounds like a new car. I would it choose again and again and… I have a manual gearbox and it changes really soft. You will have the feeling of a real Mercedes.
A note of warning, if where you stay has less than desirable roads, refrain from getting the AMG package which comes with the sports suspension, the car becomes extremely unforgiving and harsh and any small crevice will find its way to shake the cabin :).Although I do agree that the AMG package is a beauty, the sports suspension can really mess up the driving experience of the car :)
Powered tailgate not standard you have to spend extra to get the premium pack. which was quite embarrassing when the merc dealer told me it doesnt i showed him the review and he said quote "this guy must be dreaming"
I don't get why everyone complains about the 2.1 engine. I drove a w205 220d and it was very quiet. The only part where it felt loudish was under hard acceleration.
Muy buenas presentaciones en estos videos de Mat. Ojalá los editaran con subtítulos en español, serían perfectos y más, mucho más disfrutables por la manera tan amena y sobre todo diciendo las cualidades y deficiencias de los autos. Alguien que los traduzca por favor.
I do like this car but I wasn't enamoured with the drive. it was soft but didn't take bumps well either. Mercedes offer more kit than the competition as standard and also quite good trim levels and packs with kit. I got a BMW 430d in the end. 6 weeks in it's awesome
As long as you get the MB command sat nav (bigger screen) the interior is very nice. MB is knocking out class leading interiors left, right and centre..!
I only took review seriously when done by you. Can you please do a review for a BMW 1 and 3 series? Planning to buy one...can't decide which one... Oh...and a review on the new Tesla Model S, will love to see your opinion (again, besides the Carbuyer review) Thank you and good luck
A bit embarrassing when you say that the amg line suspension is too firm and then claim that the sport suspension is the best compromise which you are reviewing when in fact you are actually sat in the amg line. Just goes to show how a narrative can be spread by journalists jumping on the bandwagon of others and not be as impartial as they would like you to believe. For the record, the AMG line suspension is a tad to firm, but it's not down to the setup, it's down to the run flat tyres. Stick normal rubber on it and it transforms the ride to how it should be.
I am confused! Is this the 2016 or 2017 model? Because i am hearing that MB is planning on changing the head & rear lamps as well as installing the dual LED screens borrowed from the E-Class 2017 and S Class for the 2017 model! The 2017 model is being manufactured during August 2016 typically after their summer holidays.... Does anyone have any information about this?
Hi Mohammed, we don't have any info yet - but we expect Mercedes to facelift the C-Class in the next couple of years to include the things you talk about.
yesss please i hope they do the dual screens like in the e class. currently im doubting between the c class or the audi a4 but im more leaning towards the a4 cos the navigation screen look way cooler and the virtual cockpit is freakin amazing!
Yes because no one else wants to hear about the C, Mercs top selling car.... You're all that matters. Thanks for the review Matt, looking forward to more!
I just wish they made the display retractable like they did with their previous models. I just know its going to be outdated in a few years. Wish the whole display thing in cars would be set aside a bit maybe move towards windshield hud displays. Im a huge techie but just dont like the look of a screen on a dashboard
Without having muchknowledge about how transmissions work i can say that the manual gearbox is phenomenal at least in th A180 D. Comparing the gearbox in my Renault clio from 2013 it´s the best gearbox i have ever worked with it´s smooth in fact very smooth. The Renault gearbox however is a mess it´s very difficult putting it in reverse for some reason and it is just not as smooth as the Mercedes. Now i do agree that having a manual gearbox in a Mercedes is a bit weird in fact it should be a crime. Something i have to ask though. is the automatic gearbox in that model you tried slow in downshifting because that is an issue i have had in the car i tested at my local Mercedes dealer it was very quick and responsive in upshifting but going down again was a bit laggy.
great video and you know the cheap stuff on the screen if you get the upgraded one it doesn't have that cheap plastic and you can get a different entertainment system at is better
This review is very confusing. The car is clearly an AMG Line, not a Sports model. Yet you mention that it has the Sports suspension. Is it an AMG Line with Sports suspension from factory, or just an AMG line, which means the suspension is not as harsh as you say?
My driving school had c class cars (manual transmition) and i remember when we were about to go to the ”risk education no 2” (when we will test braking on a very very slippery road. The nearest place to do this were about 100 km from my city so we were 4 students and one teacher in this jouney... the teacher was about 190cm so he had the seat about all way back so there wasn’t any space for our legs... and two of the sutudents were 185cm so... yea... not more space there either... one of us were only about 175 so she had it better but then me.... 195 cm.... baaam... no legroom. And then think about to 185 cm boys and one 175 cm girl in the backseats when there are a 190 cm and 195 cm men in the front😂😂😂 But i can say that i loved driving that car though... exept one thin... the gearknob just felt cheap plastic in the manual car... but the gear chancging was great, but just when touching the stick you felt like you sat in some cheap car😅
Great review! Buyers in this class of cars are really spoiled for choice now, cos 3-series, C-class, new A4, XE are all really, really good yet quite different. (I'd personally go for 3.0 tdi quattro A4) Btw, the spec of the C-class reviewed is really odd: it has leather dashboard and power boot lid (I know its standard) yet it has tiny infotainment screen and seems like it has no ACC. I think one should definitely spend extra 1-2k on 2016 technology when buying such car.
REVIEW THE FACELIFTED MODEL; ITS SOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!! Its definitely the class topper now, it has the E class engine and gearbox, and it has LOADS of standard equipment now!!
I can't stand the gear lever on the steering wheel. Feels really awkward. I'm happy that they have foldable rear seats, unlike my old 2007 C280 4matic. Though I don't like that they're kind of narrow, as mentioned in the review. Aside from that this car is great. Too bad no diesel version here in Canada, so gas mileage is not that great :/

That screen border has no place in 2016!
+SeemsLegal So true! Mercedes just make it on purpose so that people pay a few extra thousand pounds for the optional COMMAND online system.
+RMP1 I like it to be honest. By the way, it isn't. It is a little, but get the MTECH T-1... meh
+SeemsLegal i know it huge as hell, soooo ugly vs A4
Damn right..
Yea the interior is really nice but it is let down by that massive border and now Audi has a virtual cockpit option on their A4.
I don't care if it's not very practical, it's beautiful and sporty

the only thing that i don't like about this c class is that ugly tablet
And the rear, the rear lights don’t look mean enough.
Simo العربي the sport premium plus model has a better screen
Actually owned one it didn’t look that bad
The new screen looks way better
u can change it with mod after u buy the car tho

great new channel Mat. Hope youtube goes crazy for Mat's car reviews soon.
oh wait! we already are.
one of, if not the best car reviewer on youtube.
Hi Carwow, please do a review on the 2019 c class. 😊
I liked the review . Very informative and entertaining in the same time . You re definitely one of the best car reviewers ! Thanks

Did you get it?
bezel around the screen and a garmin navigation? makes me feel like its an affordable tablet.
Garmin sat nav is shit
i just went to look at the new c class in a merc showroom and came out preferring the new b class.i think if you are looking at the c class,the e class makes more sense.on the other hand i found the b class a roomier option and a choice of power above 134 bhp either petrol or diesel a better buy than a c class.does anyone else agree with this.just something that made more sense to me after the visit.the new e class by the way is probably the best in its class. a truly amazing machine.
Man I love Matt, glad to see him again.
The car in the review is not a sport model it's a 250d Amg pack
If you want to buy it today, it’s still a good choice. I bought an 2014 220d model, so 10 years old car and it still looks and sounds like a new car. I would it choose again and again and… I have a manual gearbox and it changes really soft. You will have the feeling of a real Mercedes.
Great to see Matt in this channel. Just paid farewell to carbuyer and subscribed to this one. Keep it up.
+Ahmed Al-Emadi, same here. The fellow who replaced him is a level of annoying beyond my comprehension.
A note of warning, if where you stay has less than desirable roads, refrain from getting the AMG package which comes with the sports suspension, the car becomes extremely unforgiving and harsh and any small crevice will find its way to shake the cabin :).Although I do agree that the AMG package is a beauty, the sports suspension can really mess up the driving experience of the car :)
Closing the boot part was funny lol
Carbuyer - I was there because of you.
Car Wow - well damn you, man - I'm here once again!
some of the review here are mostly repeated review from his carbuyer years (2010-16). However MY2017 car reviews are basically new on carwow
Powered tailgate not standard you have to spend extra to get the premium pack. which was quite embarrassing when the merc dealer told me it doesnt i showed him the review and he said quote "this guy must be dreaming"
It’s changed a bit from my C180 with AMG’s in 95 😆, I love the interior vents on this *ben
I don't get why everyone complains about the 2.1 engine. I drove a w205 220d and it was very quiet. The only part where it felt loudish was under hard acceleration.

I would like to see a review of a C300h of 2016 or 2017. I can't find one!
Good to see you again
I do like this car but I wasn't enamoured with the drive. it was soft but didn't take bumps well either. Mercedes offer more kit than the competition as standard and also quite good trim levels and packs with kit. I got a BMW 430d in the end. 6 weeks in it's awesome
I recently got this car 😍💪🏿 Best car I've ever owned. PETROL ⛽ AUTOMATIC
Why does the title say 2018 review when the video was published in 2016?
As long as you get the MB command sat nav (bigger screen) the interior is very nice. MB is knocking out class leading interiors left, right and centre..!
3:48
this is ironic because that engine (the OM651) is actually used in mercedes vans...
What the hell is that screen!?
Matt bro advertise the hybrid not the diesel
I just like the opening 30 seconds on all your videos. This is ....
You said that was the sport model, not AMG Line, but you can clearly see the AMG logo on the alloys?
*Carwow* !
You are the best reviewer !
hey matt!! great channel once again! keep it up.
although, i suggest you also put the car year in the video title :D
peace out.
really good review videos ,keep going , good luck Mat Watson and team.........
The screen and the system on it look like straight out of 2007. Hey Mercedes, MS called, they want their Windows Vista Media Center back...
the interior of a bmw feels 10 years old. The only good cars from BMW are the m3 series, m4 series, z4 and i8
But should we... avoid it? Should we consider it? Should we shortlist it? Or should we just go right ahead and buy it?
You’re driving the AMG version not the Sport one...I’ve got the same car but full spec.
Hoq the cars is 2018 and the year for video is 7 years ago? 7 years ago is 2016?
How can this be a 2018 review as the title states, when the video was published in 2016? What am I missing?
Insurance seminar 😂you know me too well
Hi Matt loving these new reviews can you do a review of the Ford S-max please
Soon. Maybe.
I only took review seriously when done by you. Can you please do a review for a BMW 1 and 3 series? Planning to buy one...can't decide which one... Oh...and a review on the new Tesla Model S, will love to see your opinion (again, besides the Carbuyer review) Thank you and good luck

malicalik 13 makes sense

That infotainment screen.
So for interior, which wooded style is this one? Linden Wood?
İ like the screen its elegant. Resolution is good and also the animations.shiny borders are atractive.
dr 70194 A bezel that thick with a Garmin GPS (wtf?) is actually embarrassing but at least the rest of the design makes up for it
After watching many youtube videos like this about the C class i went and got my own! Now I’m the one making the videos lol
mat nice to see you back can you please do 520d m sport please
Glad the ride is better in the Sport than the AMG model, shame though you are NOT in a Sport but an AMG model!???
I'll remember to copy your pose when I press the trunk closing button :D awesome review!
Review the E class, this C class is 2 years old, we already see this car too mach.
I can't have a review channel without a review of the C-Class though right?
Yes because no one else wants to hear about the C, Mercs top selling car.... You're all that matters.
Thanks for the review Matt, looking forward to more!
+SeaJayBelfast rubbish car
I love it! It’s very easy for me to maneuver & it’s comfortable enough for me!
Are the electric hybrids any good? With the way things are going, it sounds like a smart choice.
The infotainment looks like an afterthought bolted on there, the BMW solution is much nicer
There is an option to upgrade the infotainment system....
+Shihab rahman Mahim What, so it doesn't look like a tablet glued onto the dash?
BMW shoved it onto the top of the dash. If you really want it properly upgraded, you might want to look at an Alfa Romeo Giulia dash.
I just wish they made the display retractable like they did with their previous models. I just know its going to be outdated in a few years. Wish the whole display thing in cars would be set aside a bit maybe move towards windshield hud displays. Im a huge techie but just dont like the look of a screen on a dashboard

Ugonma Husselbury bad car
This review is very confusing. The car is clearly an AMG Line, not a Sports model. Yet you mention that it has the Sports suspension. Is it an AMG Line with Sports suspension from factory, or just an AMG line, which means the suspension is not as harsh as you say?
We are picking one of this one today :) x so excited
No way! Mat is that the same face mask you wear now during the pandemic aha, love the vids though!!!
He said he's driving the sport model but those alloys suggest it's the AMG line model? Which is the one he says we avoid? Confused
We bought a C Class after this review.
Then found out that some of the features aren't available in my country, India.
Cool car though.
Watson kindly make a videos on pick up trucks
This is actually an AMG line guys
My driving school had c class cars (manual transmition) and i remember when we were about to go to the ”risk education no 2” (when we will test braking on a very very slippery road. The nearest place to do this were about 100 km from my city so we were 4 students and one teacher in this jouney... the teacher was about 190cm so he had the seat about all way back so there wasn’t any space for our legs... and two of the sutudents were 185cm so... yea... not more space there either... one of us were only about 175 so she had it better but then me.... 195 cm.... baaam... no legroom.
And then think about to 185 cm boys and one 175 cm girl in the backseats when there are a 190 cm and 195 cm men in the front😂😂😂
But i can say that i loved driving that car though... exept one thin... the gearknob just felt cheap plastic in the manual car... but the gear chancging was great, but just when touching the stick you felt like you sat in some cheap car😅
You r driving an AMG sports version... Not a regular sport version
+Sajin S Anand yes I cocked up what I was saying...
+carwow thats ok Matt.. You are one of the best reviewer in the tube.. When can we expect a BMW M2 review?
+Sajin S Anand I know, cocked up... But what I said was correct
+Sajin S Anand I know, cocked up... But what I said was correct

Yooka: I love how the screen faded to black, then cut back up again to reveal driving footage. Is anyone interested in what else is available? Anyone?
Is that not the AMG line not the sport? Didn't know the sport had flat steering wheel and vents in rear bumper ?
I would prefer the front infotainment system to not have the mini piano black touchpad
I expected Mat to throw that trophy
My neighbours don't care that I have this
Adam then move house
Unfortunately people will not like you more when you are driving a more expensive car. Knowing that I would still prefer a more expensive car.
Adam they don't care because they know their peasants
It's only a Chinese car ..just a bit common.

Great review!
Buyers in this class of cars are really spoiled for choice now, cos 3-series, C-class, new A4, XE are all really, really good yet quite different. (I'd personally go for 3.0 tdi quattro A4)
Btw, the spec of the C-class reviewed is really odd: it has leather dashboard and power boot lid (I know its standard) yet it has tiny infotainment screen and seems like it has no ACC. I think one should definitely spend extra 1-2k on 2016 technology when buying such car.
I'll go with the C class
Watch the group test to find out which is best
REVIEW THE FACELIFTED MODEL; ITS SOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!! Its definitely the class topper now, it has the E class engine and gearbox, and it has LOADS of standard equipment now!!
I can't stand the gear lever on the steering wheel. Feels really awkward. I'm happy that they have foldable rear seats, unlike my old 2007 C280 4matic. Though I don't like that they're kind of narrow, as mentioned in the review. Aside from that this car is great.
Too bad no diesel version here in Canada, so gas mileage is not that great :/
Please do the Jaguar f-pace review.
Hey Carwow!!! It's this the c250 AMG model?
