What's wrong with James? I Think he is decent. I mean if he was the standard reviewer and one day Matt came along, then we would all be hating Matt instead. Why?
Stop with the hate on this new guy, he's not actually bad, we're just used to matt's personality. Let's be honest, we all want to see matt on a program like top gear so be grateful he's moving on to greater things
+Max Boulton I imagine John Wick isn`t someone of a high enough intelligence that he knows that the UK and Britain are the same country and that England, Scotland, Wales & NI make up the UK.
People complaining always forget CarBuyer is aimed at people actually buying the cars and for people actually buying the cars this guy is very good and he simplifys stuff and is easy to understand
It is indeed based on the A class hatchback but it is defenetly not just a raised A class, (Like the Allroad series by Audi) and so far i have always seen it referenced has an suv, even tax wise. :)
All these unnecessary hate comments toward James. They're just sickening. Horrible, nasty people. This is a human being, a person doing his job and you think it's okay to be cruel? Shame on you.
Even through the criticism of some small minded individuals I hope you continue to make these reviews. They're informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work.
+Simmer Life He's an terrible car journalist on camera he has a really annoying voice he says odd things like the controller for infotainment is melting into the dash and he personality isn't to my taste and I've got the support of roughly 3/4 of the channels subscribers behind me so ya your stupid .....
Very quick, to the point and easy understandable review. Only 47k? I was expecting around 60! Really liked this review, it's this guy's best vid! Keep on
To be honest, I actually like the car based on how the presenter, well, presented it. As much as I want Matt to be back at carbuyer, this guy is not doing a bad job. Not as comical as Matt was, but he still, a good job.
After reading the comments I was very sad to see so much preconceit with this man ... call him gay? Is he blame of it? no! Please stop with this, he has no fault to be as it is! I like this man and for me he can still make reviews!
Incorrect info in this review: Mercedes has been this SUV segment for several years with the GLK (so they aren't new to this) and have been competing with BMW X3 and Audi Q5. I hate seeing huge blatant mistakes like this in reviews!
+dcharizard91 If it helps mercedes benz released the glk in 2008 and it they gave it a facelift in 2013 after that in 2015/16 they renamed it the glc hope this helps :)
I replaced my 2011 S-class in April 2015 with the 2015 S-class because of three incidents of unintended acceleration and didn't feel safe driving it anymore. Recently I've been having problems with my 2015 S-class and I've only had it for eight months. All of the warning lights, which include AEB, BSD, engine, auto hold, power steering, AWD and ABS turned on while driving. Even power steering was not working as well. I had to take it back to Mercedes twice to look into this problem. I got my car back again two days ago after getting the speed sensor replaced and test driven by its service manager and foreman for over 450km. Hopefully the problem has been fixed once and for all to save me the trouble of bringing it back. I am so lucky to have two lemons from the same brand (one after the other). The S-class I bought in May 2011 was my first German car. I was very happy with it for the first few years until the first incident of unintended acceleration happened in August 2014. Such experience with my S-class shake my faith in the quality of this brand.
Great review, although I'm not a fan of the music. I can't believe there are so much hatred towards this guy, if you think you are better in anyway, why don't you post your own car review video and let everyone judge you? Too scared? The new Jaguar F-Pace is a much more handsome SUV, with great performance. GLC has the most luxurious interior, but it's COMMAND interface is one of the least user-friendly of any cars!
well, he's really getting good at this. i don't mind him reviewing cars anymore. maybe i just got used to it, or maybe he's just getting better. anyways. great vid from carbuyer as always, keep it up!
Thanks for the review. I am currently in the process selecting between the GLC and the VW Touareg... they are very similar in price in AUS, I guess the vw has better engine, V6 but less sparks in the cabin, and also is it going to have a new generation next year?? Having said that I am quite attracted by its price and also its very versatile use and quality build. Please help me to choose here!! Many thanks!!!
if you are looking for role model stop watching carbuyer and start watching rocky..the guy is doing his job just fine!! ...i would like to see more comments about cars..and not gossip..
Guys, stop being so homophobic. He actually improved A LOT. Very, very nice review indeed, thanks to James and Carbuyer. As for the car, the GLC seems to be the best option in that class at the moment, mainly because Q5 and X3 are much older cars. I also wouldn't put Lexus NX as a competitor since NX is much smaller, so it probably rivals the GLA/X1/Q3 (it's also not a very good car at all, but that's not the point). Mercedes also need to extend that engine range, just one engine in two output variations is much less than what others offer
1st: Mercedes has been in this sector for almost a decade with the GLK... 2nd Mercedes smallest SUV is the GLA I always watch your videos because I thought they would be truely professional and i hope that the will still be that way in the future.
i never would have guessed the GLK wasn't sold in the UK. It seems like people would have loved to have a Mercedes of that size. I don't get why they don't offer the gas engine there yet either because we only have the gas in America.
People really need to get a grip of their sad lonely lives. This a perfectly fine reviewer and will get better with time just like Matt, Rebecca and Ginny, who I remember from Granada Men & Motors. Chill out and stop being so manly that you hide behind the internet to slag people off.
I've watched more than a few car reviews and I don't see what the complaints are about. This presenter certainly does a better job than the majority of people reviewing for U.S. viewers. As for females telling me about cars I might be considering, nope, doesn't work. I rarely watch one of their reviews start to finish. I've had 2 M-Bs in the past and never again. Mine were very unreliable. Both left me stranded even though they had excellent maintenance. Why? Bad engineering (yeah, I know the myth) and bad construction. The body work was sound however.
I really liked this video. It was really helpful. Felt the need to write this to offset the kids in other comments trying to reconcile themselves with whatever 'homo' means.
What's wrong with James? I Think he is decent. I mean if he was the standard reviewer and one day Matt came along, then we would all be hating Matt instead. Why?
Yeah, James is alright.
+simon werling Because most people don't like changes, they did the same with Ginny and now they like her. They'll get used to him one day.
Totally true.
***** So exactly what's wrong with James except that he isn't Matt?
***** Why is he all those things? Explain please
You again 🔫🔫🔫
Yup
Yay! Off yourself please.
Stop with the hate on this new guy, he's not actually bad, we're just used to matt's personality. Let's be honest, we all want to see matt on a program like top gear so be grateful he's moving on to greater things
"Mercedes has always been absent from that list." What about the GLK?
+joppetie Not sold in the UK.
+John Wick This slow person talks as if Carbuyer isn't based and focused on the UK.
+John Wick And which Country do you live in?
+Max Boulton Exactly, Max.
+Max Boulton I imagine John Wick isn`t someone of a high enough intelligence that he knows that the UK and Britain are the same country and that England, Scotland, Wales & NI make up the UK.
I can't understand why people hate him so much, he's actually a good reviewer!
We want matt please
Guillermo D what?
+Guillermo D Being homosexual isn't an insult. There's nothing wrong with it. If you meant homosapien then yes we are all homosapiens.
+Guillermo D This is total nonsense!
Did he call me gay??
I am not btw, also that comment was very random
+Imran Mohammed Yeah but even if you are who cares?!
And let the hate begin...I already feel sorry for this dude :/
You're not the only one who feels sorry for him, I do as well.
+Callum Brown me too. I hope he doesn't read this. He is getting better though ... Or is that optimism
Yeah, he is getting better.
+Schroti I'm just happy he doesn't seem to care...the only right thing to do at this toxic place that's called the intern....ehm Planet Earth.
+Schroti I feel sorry for the mercedes GLC he is reviewing. I can see tears running over the headlights.
Seriously though, what is your problem with this guy? He's great.
Yeah and he does actually consider crisp storage too!
Guy seems like a psycho. great cast for the Gotham series
brilliant
what you're saying is that the guy looks like the joker, am I right?
GreatGrandmasterWang that's exactly what I'm saying
+TheGarvito Next Joker.
MrSimodedo your mom is the next joker
People complaining always forget CarBuyer is aimed at people actually buying the cars and for people actually buying the cars this guy is very good and he simplifys stuff and is easy to understand
I like this guy now! Quote of the review: "melted smartphone from a Salvador Dali painting" 😂
I like this guy.
Yeah I do as well, he's a good reviewer
+MrThreeWorlds seriously. what is up with the hates... he's good.
+MrThreeWorlds His only bad review was his first.
+MrThreeWorlds Yeah, he did it pretty well this time.
He reminds me of Will Mckenzie from the inbetweeners
The smallest Mercedes SUV is the GLA not the GLC.
+Comand86n2 GLA is hardly an SUV...if anything it's a crossover but it's more like a hatchback to begin with.
It is indeed based on the A class hatchback but it is defenetly not just a raised A class, (Like the Allroad series by Audi) and so far i have always seen it referenced has an suv, even tax wise. :)
+kraenk12 It's sort of an SUV. A mini SUV, like the Suzuki SX4, Renault Captur and the Volkswagen CrossPolo.
"Mercedes has been absent from that list"? Apparently this guy doesn't know that GLK exists. Thus, how can I even trust your review?
or the m class lol
+Christopher Jonathan The GLK was not available as right hand drive so it was not available in half the world. For UK he is right.
+Christopher Jonathan No GLK in the UK.
+sam hunt different class entirely.
+panathaninf uk isn't half the world mate
All these unnecessary hate comments toward James. They're just sickening. Horrible, nasty people. This is a human being, a person doing his job and you think it's okay to be cruel? Shame on you.
don't take it out on this guy, we all know we want Rebecca
All we want to do the reviews are matt and rebecca (if she came back)
she work for daily telegraph you can follow her on you tube
+rodrigo gdc He's OK but I prefer Ginny and not just because she's hot. :-)
she's into girl and I won't say hot Rebecca yeah not her replacement
thomas delobel I know Ginny currently has a "partner" (and a kid), but not sure if they're a guy or woman.
Even through the criticism of some small minded individuals I hope you continue to make these reviews. They're informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work.
At 0:02 seconds into the video my blood boiled one more unsubscribe 🤗
Same.
+Simmer Life that's not the only reason I unsubscribe I also did it because they weren't showing the cars that I wanted too see.
+Simmer Life He's an terrible car journalist on camera he has a really annoying voice he says odd things like the controller for infotainment is melting into the dash and he personality isn't to my taste and I've got the support of roughly 3/4 of the channels subscribers behind me so ya your stupid .....
+Jack 1 read the comments Dumass
+Jack 1 Thank you...good bye. Have a painful life!
Stop the hate against the reviewer. He did a proper car review. If you don't like his videos, don't watch them then.
Very quick, to the point and easy understandable review. Only 47k? I was expecting around 60! Really liked this review, it's this guy's best vid! Keep on
To be honest, I actually like the car based on how the presenter, well, presented it. As much as I want Matt to be back at carbuyer, this guy is not doing a bad job. Not as comical as Matt was, but he still, a good job.
This guy is good. Leave him alone you basement lords...
Ugh 0:25 it's not Mercedes smallest SUV hello the Gla?
+Jack 1 GLA is a CUV or crossover if anything.
the glc is also a crossover 😂
+Jack 1 GLA is a hatchback.
+SuperEugene41 How about you go to Mercedes UK look up GLA, then go to body style and get back to me. 😂
gla is a hatchback
Come on guys he's not that bad! Until he starts talking...
I now feel extremely sorry for this guy, even though lots of people hate him. I don't anymore.
After reading the comments I was very sad to see so much preconceit with this man ... call him gay? Is he blame of it? no! Please stop with this, he has no fault to be as it is! I like this man and for me he can still make reviews!
So much unnecessary hate. IMHO, This guy is okay.
poor guy :/ just let him do his job
I don't understand the hate for this guy? I think he is a great addition to the team.
Well done James, your doing a terrific job! Fuk the haters. thumbs up
Dunno why this guy gets so much hate? Can someone fill me in?
Incorrect info in this review: Mercedes has been this SUV segment for several years with the GLK (so they aren't new to this) and have been competing with BMW X3 and Audi Q5. I hate seeing huge blatant mistakes like this in reviews!
+dcharizard91 not in the UK that is.
The GLK wasn't aimed towards the UK and wasn't sold here, YOU get your facts right, you embarrassment.
+kraenk12 still doesn't mean that it didn't exist.
+dcharizard91 If it helps mercedes benz released the glk in 2008 and it they gave it a facelift in 2013 after that in 2015/16 they renamed it the glc hope this helps :)

Man this review was quite late
But James you did a really good one, you have improved much.
Great review, although I'm not a fan of the music. I can't believe there are so much hatred towards this guy, if you think you are better in anyway, why don't you post your own car review video and let everyone judge you? Too scared?
The new Jaguar F-Pace is a much more handsome SUV, with great performance. GLC has the most luxurious interior, but it's COMMAND interface is one of the least user-friendly of any cars!
what's with all the hate? its a good review. I do think the car looks like an oddly shaped c class though.
why the hate? he's a pretty good reviewer...
For someone so articulate and clearly has a love of art, why is he reviewing cars?
well, he's really getting good at this. i don't mind him reviewing cars anymore.
maybe i just got used to it, or maybe he's just getting better.
anyways. great vid from carbuyer as always, keep it up!
I think it's unbelievable how there is not a single comment about the car in the commentsection... Only about the reviewer?! What is this??
I think his review are pretty good
Thanks for the review. I am currently in the process selecting between the GLC and the VW Touareg... they are very similar in price in AUS, I guess the vw has better engine, V6 but less sparks in the cabin, and also is it going to have a new generation next year?? Having said that I am quite attracted by its price and also its very versatile use and quality build.
Please help me to choose here!!
Many thanks!!!
Cue all the comments about James...he's a decent reviewer, nothing wrong with him at all!
47,000 pounds is really expensive. In America, the equivalent dollar amount is not only GLE-class money, but you're close to getting a GLS-class.
if you are looking for role model stop watching carbuyer and start watching rocky..the guy is doing his job just fine!! ...i would like to see more comments about cars..and not gossip..
I don't know what this guy is doing wrong, other than him not being Matt. Grow up people.
He could never escape Matt's aura. After all, it's Matt who makes carbuyer carbuyer.
You're getting better. Keep up the good work!
This guy has got better, still no mat but he is improving. Give him a chance! Dosent deserve all the hate, he is trying his best
This guy is good, so stop hating guys! At least he keeps on going although some assholes keep on insulting him!
I like this guy, sure he doesn't have Matt's corny jokes and style but he makes the review cheerful
Guys, stop being so homophobic. He actually improved A LOT. Very, very nice review indeed, thanks to James and Carbuyer.
As for the car, the GLC seems to be the best option in that class at the moment, mainly because Q5 and X3 are much older cars. I also wouldn't put Lexus NX as a competitor since NX is much smaller, so it probably rivals the GLA/X1/Q3 (it's also not a very good car at all, but that's not the point). Mercedes also need to extend that engine range, just one engine in two output variations is much less than what others offer
this car won't replace the GLA right? that car is just too awesome. It's the best looking premium compact suv in my opinion
Am I the only one that actually likes his reviews???
this was a great review, why so many dislikes ??
1st: Mercedes has been in this sector for almost a decade with the GLK...
2nd Mercedes smallest SUV is the GLA
I always watch your videos because I thought they would be truely professional and i hope that the will still be that way in the future.
Come on guys give the man a break ! We all like Matt but he needs a day off also.Carry on James you're doing fine.
I was waiting for this review like 3 months now as I plan to buy the car... Guess what? no Matt review... I'm soooo pissed with Carbuyer...
I know this comment is rly late lol but come on when u wrote this, Matt had been on Carbuyer for over 6 years. Sometimes it is good to change
comment of the day..... "I'm just under 5 foot 11"
so you're 5 foot 10.......
'You can only have your GLC diesel powered'. Odd. Was behind a GLC450 petrol the other day but couldn't find it on the MB website.
I waited for this car to get reviewed for so long then I find out Matt isn't doing the review 😒
i never would have guessed the GLK wasn't sold in the UK. It seems like people would have loved to have a Mercedes of that size. I don't get why they don't offer the gas engine there yet either because we only have the gas in America.
I like this guy. He's well spoken.
ahh you didnt show the hidden compartment in the boot and the led In the dashboard like the heads up display
People really need to get a grip of their sad lonely lives. This a perfectly fine reviewer and will get better with time just like Matt, Rebecca and Ginny, who I remember from Granada Men & Motors. Chill out and stop being so manly that you hide behind the internet to slag people off.

Mercedes' smallest SUV?? i think you're forgetting the GLA?
I see all these comments telling us to stop hating on him but I haven't seen a single hate comment
They need to integrate the display properly, don't see why they've gone the stuck on route when last gen C class had it integrated.
electric folding seats are also available on the Audi Q7
Can you guys please do a vs review like the BmW x3 vs Audi Q5 vs The GLC
What a bunch of whiners. You get free content, free of ads, and you keep on whining about the presenter acting gay.
Give this guy a chance! I know everybody miss Matt but I think this review was pretty standard.
Fuck its not matt i wanted him to review a merc before he go
Can you review the Mercedes a class 2016
where is matt?
He is getting better.
I really liked this video. It was really helpful. Felt the need to write this to offset the kids in other comments trying to reconcile themselves with whatever 'homo' means.
He's back.
This guy does it very good don't get me wrong, but we still want Mat for some reasons. You just can't explain it, but we want Mat please
Matt brought the water
James brought the crisps
I think those two rear passenger cupholders were ashtrays.
MB has never been absent from the list. There was the GLK which is called the GLC now.
thank you for doing my video
Will there be a GLC63 AMG coming?!?
well written and reviewed.
Man , don't hate him that much , this video actually has 1k likes 😂
Wow people really hate this guy because other people hate this guy.
Wow, where are Matt and Rebecca ? This guy didnt take his medication this morning. I dont want to have trauma when i go to sleep!
Hey! James! Another rival to this car is the Porsche Macan.
As long as it's not that woman, Carbuyer's videos are quite enjoyable :)
If Matt isn't hosting the next video, it's time to unsubscribe...
Did Mercedes had GLK as a small suv in the same category like Q5 and X3?
Wait...isnt Volvo XC 60 is in the same class/segment as Lexus RX,Mercedes GLE(Formerly ML)?
Where is Matt???
Love the car, I just wish Matt was the one who reviewed it.
how did you end up working for carbuyer
great review. thank you
Agree, where do they get these knobs from??
Don't be too mean on him..... he's trying his best
does mat like it?
