Thanks Joe, I have been waiting for this review and I’m glad you had so much fun going on throttle😎 Personally, I love the styling…it’s a very classy, stealthy sports sedan (especially in this spec)

Nice looking wheels Joe. This is one nice ride I do agree that the zero connectivity on the rear seats is mind numbing why they did not add it. The red is a bit much but I guess you can pick other colours maybe.

Nice one Raiti!

Luv this peppy C43 AMG..nice on throttle..thanks Joe and Steven for this exciting segment 😀..imagine in 4matic...😊

Rati, always enjoy your reviews. I was hoping you would give YOUR feedback on how this compares to the m340i. I would really like to see that in your reviews. Like i got that the car is handling great, but you've driven both and that's the question you started the video with. It would be very informative and helpful if you could give your precise inputs on these comparisons that you open up with. Much love and thank you!

Thanks Joe, interesting how the A45S, C43, CLA45S and C63S all use the same hand built AMG 4 cylinder M139 petrol engine with various tweaks and/or electric motor bolted on. It largely comes down to a matter of styling/budget rather than distinctly different choices under the hood.

Great review as always. Maybe it’s me but the camera was shaky at times.

I used to drive my brothers AMG every once in a while and the "moving sunshade" was a dead giveaway when I returned the car :) kept forgetting to push it back in place.

It'll be nice if you would put a camera on the speedometer for us so we can see how fast you make those turns on trouttle!!!

That engine sounds gorgeous 😮😮😮😮😮!!

Susbscribed as soon as you made the point of books in the back seat

The hybrid system is assisting the turbo thats why it puts out so much power but the mpg numbers are horrible, which is not what they were aiming for.

Man I absolutely love Mercedes and everything they make. I love how they design everything so well, layout everything so well and just how sexy they are; I'm still a BMW guy and always will be but I could see someday Mercedes winning me over haha.

Joe, just a little explanation here on why that corner is built like that: if it was to be flat, the air wouldn't channel the same way. This is why it has like a slit on it. As an former pilot, you should know that. It's not criticism here, it's being constructive.

Hey Joe, I’ve always had a fondness for Mercedes Benz, I had 2. But in regards I almost feel like MBenz dropped the ball. I do see some new changes. But what I also see is the same material that was in the outgoing A class. The door panels look the same including the floor panels especially without a dead peddle. Very sad especially at that price point.

Prefer the older models turbo'd v6. That one had a ton of character. These high powered inlne 4's are high strung and lack refinement. Either way, the B58 of the M340i is sublime at one of the best engines on the market (besides the M3's S58 of course). I also prefer the interior of the BMW more. It's has better build/material quality.

Some of the features you mentioned that the C43 you reviewed didn't have are actually options. There's also a performance exhaust option, which might improve the exhaust sound, heads up display, ventilated seats, panorama roof, etc. etc. I think the model you reviewed is just the Premium trim. They have the Pinnacle trim that has the heads up display, Bermester audio system, MB Nav with augmented video. Do you have a photo of the list of features of the model you reviewed?

@Oneness100

​@@harrylanders4895 I get what you are saying. in the US, they have two different trim levels. The Premium and the Pinnicle. The Pinnacle adds the head up display, higher end audio system, and Augmented Video based Navigation system. The base price for the Premium trim is not $70K, it's $59,9K BASE. For the Pinnacle trim, it starts at $62K BASE. With either trim, you have a variety of options. Yeah, I get it, it "SHOULD" come with this and that for that much money, but the reality is that car mfg's sometimes have to add certain options due to supply chain issues, and other higher costs involved. That's the reality behind what decisions they are currently making. The AMG are effectively designed by the AMG group and they decide how to sell the more limited edition models. But the model he tested wasn't spec'd out the way he would like it. Maybe he could have sat down with the MB people and spec'd out what he would have liked and said that with all of the options that Joe would have liked, here's how much it costs. All I was saying is that Joe didn't mention that a lot of the things that was missing in the vehicle he was testing ARE available as an option and he should have at least stated that in his review. Yes, it didn't have the pano roof, but that IS an option. Yes, it didn't have ventilated seats, but that IS an option. They do have a performance exhaust option, they do have head up display as an option on the Premium model, but it's standard on the Pinnacle trim. It would also be nice to see the dealer sticker on the sample he reviewed to see what that specific model came with, etc. and then run through the various options and pricing. Do you understand my point?

I think the interior is nice but some of the materials and panels seem bland. For this price and being an AMG, the seats should be soft Nappa leather vs that grainy leather. Also, the door panel is blah. I wish the large red section on the door was quilted or perforated to jazz it up.
