Our reviews give you two perspectives. Jakub takes the perspective of the car enthusiast, while Yuri represents the interests of the general consumer. You won't find details about engine compression ratios here, instead you'll have real world opinions on what it's like to drive and own cars.

All that safety technology but the driverd will crash because they are playing games with their gimmicky infotainment and augemented reality instead of paying attention to actual reality. Absolutely decacent and retarded. Just because technology makes something is possible doesn't mean that we should do it. What's next, wearing a VR helmet while driving and while being in VR playing with the infotainment system of the VR car??? Give it a fe years and people will get stuck in the VR of the VR of the VR simulation of their car without even knowing it.
You can take Yuri and Jakub out of Canada, but you can’t take the Canada out of Yuri and Jakub

Beautiful Mt. Rainier in the background.
I think now Mercedes is up of any premium European carmaker, its awesome. Regards from Argentina. Excellent video like always guys!
Placing the one piece gauge cluster and center screen to block the camera that shooting them is a very nice trick. Took me a long time to figure it out. This is one of the reasons why I like every video in this channel beside the reviewed cars.
Great video again! The part where the sun perfectly reflects of the star on the front, superb. Also perfect capture of the interior details and having the screen there to see while you talk about it, amazing. Must have been a lot of work to film all of it at the same time and put it together. Funny how you only took about 13 minutes to film the exterior of the car and switch drivers according to the car's clock between 11:19 and 13:57 :D :D :D
Loved the red eye look on the headlight when asking about Skylab. Seems to be a very futuristic car and excellent for nerds.
Every Video, the camera work & editing is done to perfection
Really liked the review. The best part was cool mountain roads/views )) And i forgot already what car was reviewed. But that is another high quality video from TheStraightPipes, thanks guys.
Awesome review! Super detailed and covered alot! Thanks! Nice editing too! I had 2 for 2 days. loved it!

@@TheStraightPipes But HOW??? Jakub usually drives the rolling shots and you have a camera car, so Yuri must be driving that - who is filming? Even everydaydriver's channel has a guy to drive the camera car. I mean you dont have to explain your magic to me, but you had people helping you film before, so I am just dumbfounded by that statement and cannot wrap my head around it. Sure you could have a static camera mount on the other car or out the back and insert the frame in post production thus making it look like the camera is on a crane by letting it wander over the picture, but it would be a lot and I mean a lot more work to do that... and it still doesnt explain how you turn the angle in some of these shots.

As usual: great job guys! Greetings from the city where A class hatch is made;)
Brilliant video as usual! I am definitely getting this in 2020 :D Regarding road noise, I think it'll be better with 18" rims.
This has to be one of the best and the most meticulous of the MBUX and the 2019 A Class, and you guys nailed it!
Your videos are getting better and better every week! Seriously.

Actualy.. is perfect. the MBUX system has a prespective voice recognition so when you said, open the passenger's heat seat, it opened the drivers heat seat and that was correct becoze it understood that the command came from you that you were at the co driver seat. Anyway, amazing video guys you did a really good job. im expecting mine in september!
Been anticipating this review for sooooo long
Kindly include other aspects like rear passenger seat comfort in the review just like box test. Other than that you guys are terrific.

When I see so much technology in a car, I always remember how proud my dad was when he first bought a car with an « auto-reverse » cassette player! He always listened to the same cassette and knew perfectly the last song on each side and at the end of it he used to say : “look, this is magic, it changes the side alone”! I wonder what he would say about “Hey Mercedes, can you cut my hair”!
You guys are awesome!
If the sedan is that noisy... imagine what it’d be like in the Hatchback. Great and thorough review. Well done. Thanks.
At first, i thought this review was to long, however, it was very interesting and creative. God job
I'm happy you made it down to Washington to do some work! I'm a relatively new viewer and really enjoy your personalities. You guys remind me of my friends and I. Great videos, great content, keep it up! I have a suggestion if you're ever down in the area again if you're testing a more sporty vehicle as far as roads are concerned: the Olympic Peninsula in Western Washington. Basically, highway 101 loops all around the Olympic Peninsula taking you around the mountain ranges and all around the northwestern peninsula of Washington. It's an incredibly scenic drive with vistas, lakes, mountains, enormous old growth trees, and intense twisty roads. There are many areas to branch off the beaten path and find other nice and twisty roads. I'd love to see you guys drive spiritedly through that area. There's a ton of places to visit as well along the route. Cheers, fellas!

I’m 70 and I love my 2019 A200 sedan. Thanks for a very accurate fun review. I’m pretty sure there’s a bunch of tech I don’t use, but what I do is just awesome, BTW not a fan of the facelift removing the touchpad. Cheers
Welcome to Seattle! Enjoying all of your reviews. If you’re still in town and craving sushi, hit me up 🍣
Ordered mine! Delivery in January 2019.
I’d like to see the AMG version up against the RS3. That would be enjoyable for you and us!!
I asked my dealer in the UK and weirdly you can spec a saloon (sedan) with the 19 inch multi spokes that you guys have. Only one option with wheels currently. Very annoying. Nice to see a more indepth review of the infotainment and the bizzare questions you guys threw at it. Dual map mode looks quality. Keep up the good work. P. S.... I want to see Jacob in a pink straight pipes t-shirt next time.

Very entertaining and full of knowledge aswell! :D
I was very sceptical towards the big screens of E and S class, but after a recent 2000+ km drive in an E220d 4Matic I changed my mind. They’re not too bright at night, are not overloaded with unnecessary informations and are very, very easy to read. The only big problem is access to one of the most frequently used function - skipping a track. I dealt with it using the middle console touchpad, but lack of a simple button is infuriating.
I’ll be getting this on my 28th birthday this year! I’m also getting the 64 ambient lighting!

My brain hurt hearing about all the tech options! Thanks for making me feel old guys 👍🏻😂
lucky to live in Canada for that hatchback
It's weird how Canadians and Americans say 180 hp is "slow". It's more than enough. We have C180s with 156 hp and a C Class is heavier and that is more than enough. 0 to 100kph in 8.5 seconds feels perfectly swift enough in a C Class. This will therefore also feel good.

You are amazing but i only watch when it is mercedes, but you are doing a fantastic work together, one question how do you get a big 63 on the display when it was showing the speed ?
Got to sit in the sedan at the US Open Tennis Championships in early Sept. Did show some non-car poeple the Hey Mercedes feature, they were surprised :D The accent was British though. Didn't know about the slapping feature though :) YES, love the PNW love (I'm from Portland, just 3 hours South)! Sucks that us Americans don't get the AMG hatch. Also FYI, the RBR channel (aka Mr AMG) did review the A 35, so check that out if your'e interested. Didn't drive it of course. Great review as always guys. #TeamYuri #TeamInfotainment

I’m hoping this car comes to the US under the GLA-guise. As someone who commutes a lot, I’m a huge fan of the tech. I don’t even want an AMG of this for MPG reasons (again commuting) but I would love a hatchback. Extra ground clearance wouldn’t hurt either. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to drive over road kill and thought to myself good thing I don’t have this car slammed to the ground.
