I think the best Merc steering wheel was found in the cars from 2018-2020. Looked great and just the right balance between physical switches and capacity buttons (there was a two which you swiped to choose options on the main infotainment and driver’s display).

The biggest pity fall for this generation Merc is interior quality, everything creeks every material feels cheap, all you get for “luxury” is a screen, which will undoubtedly look dated in 5 years. On the other side, have a look the previous E or S class, it still looks modern and luxurious 7 years after.

The interior of this car looks and fits better in the C class than the S class. I have a W222 and my uncle just got a W223 with the White interior. The S-class interior is supposed to be wide sweeping from left to right. The W223 screen wastes too much space while the widescreen of the W222 didn't. The S class should have the EQS’ HYPERSCREEN.

Very detail oriented review. You and Matt Maran are the best car reviewers that provide all the info I need. Thank you for such a great video.

Mercedes need to bring the hood ornament back. it was real classy and had an awesome presence which is sorely missed. and i do not want an iPad in a car. i want the car interiors to look like a car.

Fantastic video Raz. Could really feel the passion back for AMGs again and the new AMG C43 looks very compelling. Actually think the 4 cycl turbo is going to be great in the C Saloon & wagon

A superb, comprehensive review. Thank you.

Amazing review! I’m really considering the new C wagon, either the 300d or the 220d all terrain… with black interior! :)

I’ve fallen in love with this car C300 2022 can’t stop thinking about it lol

I am a huge Benz fan and have ordered over 7 factory brand new self specd out cars from Benz. And I have to put this out here, the door panels are the most horrible design yet to be seen in a Benz car and the air vents does not fit in a C Class its something that could be in a B Class. My verdict is that the designer of the interior, seats, door panels needs to resign immediately! This is unacceptable and a shame to this brand, the quality on these door panels are on pair with a Kia. It's all squeaky and pure soft plastic I can't believe, Mr AMG did not poke on that matter.

Great review. I don’t care how nice it looks IT HAS TO DRIVE

Looks much better than the previous c class

Thank you for posting this video. Really enjoyed your honest review. I’m still a fan of physical buttons, not these touch screen menu. Will it tempt me from my 3 series? Certainly seems worth a look. Thanks again

Button controls and analog information panels were much more refined and simpler to operate. In fact with screens it is necessary to look away. With buttons, you knew and had in memory where each function was.........I miss them

“This is the NBA on NBC”… lol. The music reminded me when I was a kin in the 90’s

Definitely agree on some of the notes, I do think this is a step too far into the everything is touchscreen operated direction. I would like to see more of a blend between touch screen and real buttons with tactile feedback. Also agree that the doors are very bland and needed something else added in the design. I will be interested to see your review on the new 330 model for BMW as a comparison to this.

The fake exhaust tail pipes are horrible, hate this trend so much.

Not in the older w205!

I subscribed as soon as I heard the old school NBA theme song

I drive a 2018 A250 AMG Line with Adaptive Suspension which in my opinion is a must if you like a balance between sport and capable handling and comfort. During the last service of my car I got an A220 non-AMG loaner without Adaptive Suspension and it was so soft and waffled through corners like a full-size 1970s American landyacht. The Adaptive Suspension in my A250 is amazing. When I want to drive in Comfort Mode (which I do 99% of the time) the car is comfortable BUT still handles nicely around corners. In Sport Mode the car completely changes personality: the steering wheel response becomes sharper and the suspension hardens up so you can drive much sportier and aggressively. I guess the moral of the story is: a standard modern Mercedes’ will be soft and comfort-oriented. If you want a sportier experience without getting a genuine AMG model, get the AMG Line Package and the Adaptive Suspension.

I think the exterior and interior design are HUGE upgrades over the W205, fills all the gaps and improves on the 205's quirks and shortcomings, I just think it's becoming too expensive now for really what's just a 3 series competitor. Although once people's 2-3 year leases are over, these will become INSANE value for money. So, I'll see you in 3 years, 206.

Great review. I would say your car wasn’t fully equipped with certain items. Burmester is not on your car, which would’ve given you the metal speaker covers (which look nicer than the W205).

My Uncle's W223 has the White interior and it's like Heaven in there. The default Black really doesn't show you how nice these interiors can be. The primary colors: Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Violet and Yellow should be offered.

In what scenario is the w205 c63 louder than the w204?

I may have missed it- Was there any discussion on how the 9g tronic shifts in normal driving, including in town- start/stops and acceleration/decelleration? Smooth? Unobtrusive (when not in manual paddle shifting)?

Wonderfully reviewed! Thanks

W206 C class looks good

I needed AWD and a wagon, and luckily, Canada got the C43 wagon. I'm very happy with it, especially seeing the 206 changes and "downgrades." I'm sure it's great, but it just feels like it's missing something.

Incorrect, Mercedes hasn't officially stated that the Mercedes C300's 0-60 is 6.0 seconds, and Mercedes stated it is 5.7 seconds. However, Mercedes-Benz officially stated that the Mercedes-Benz C300 takes 0-100 in 6.0 seconds. Also, that isn't AMG line spected. If it was, it would be manifest.

Every reviewer has a different style and target. Straight pipes and throttle are funny, smoking tire is driving, jayemm can give more of a rounded take based on a luxury Enthusiast vs manual person. I like Savage geese detail and humor. Rbr has amazing production and covers the types of cars I really like. Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, really german cars. But I also like that people focus on older cars, jayemm made me really like, the 996/612 scag. For Mercedes, I just like the brand design choice. Sitting in the car feels good. But when I see a person revisit an old car, I realize I can never buy something new when there are so many fun cars out there to own. But I love seeing Rbr cover new cars. Point is, everyone has to pick a lane, not enough time in the day to do everything. But it's good lots of people have different things they focus on so there is a wide variety of coverage and coverage types.

Seems just silly paying this sort of money for a compact sedan. I mean, I love exclusive cars, I would by an E class in a heartbeat if I could, but these smaller and cheaper "premium" cars just seem to be a fundamentally weird segment. Compact sedans are for the everyday trip to work, and luxury Mercedes are for indulgence and quite frankly, being seen. This one is just too expensive to be just a drive-to-work-car, and not special enough to really feel like you've made it in. Just my thoughts

Does anyone remember the original new car smell from the 80s and 90s in Benzs? What allowed them have that special scent? Was it the leather or something else in the interior? I heard it was the glue they used but not sure if it’s true.

C300 used to do 0-60 in about 5 seconds. Now it’s 6. So slow.

I love my 2019 c300 too much to trade up. I only owe 20k after the lease was up so I have 20k equity currently.

Never have I seen such a polarity between specs. The base trim is one of the worst looking modern cars in existence, yet all it needs are these crisp AMG Line bumpers and the transformation is complete.

The new C-Class was a little disappointing to me…obvious interior cost cutting, 4 pot engines for AMG models, and those dreadful fake exhaust tips. The steering wheel is the worst part…those capacitive sensors and buttons are horrible, previous wheel was my favorite!
