It's rather refreshing to not review an SUV, but do these style cars still have a place in our market? And as for the size of the touchscreen, good grief!

Juliet your reviewing style is the best, please don't ever change! I love how down to earth you are in presenting your vids, it's all so relatable and also hilarious. Best car reviewer ever!
Great review. It's a fantastic vehicle however with the SA economy and current times, I feel it's overpriced. Tick a few boxes and you're over R1 million. And that too, it's just a pretty entry level C Class. For me, I'm sticking with my bakkies 😂
One of my favourite reviewers, never minces her words, always honest. It’s always the road rage for me though 🤣🤣🤣🤣
02:39 You are right, while driving, it is difficult to use touch screen, manual button was better and safe. 07:22 Beautiful car. Thanks for this video.
You simply rock! BTW, that 60/60 ad is a pleasant "tribute" to a classic Kwaito hit song in the early 2000s by both Mandoza of and Mdu Masilela called 50/50. I used to jam to the song. I'm a self-professed Kwaito fanatic of course.
How much is the major service of this car.I want to buy a 2nd hand.
You are in the right engine spec ..just would have liked to see with sunroof and amg kit..I wonder how much that would be. The likes of Haval have really thrown the cat amongst the pigeons. Keep up the good work!
This thing is expensive, R900,000.00 with no options for a C Class is simply crazy 😳, Mercedes prices are insane lately compared to their competitors..
It hoots!!!, nearly giving the person walking pass a heart attack😂😂😂😂😂that finished me. I love your reviews really I do😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Juliet, you should come to Nigeria and see how the dudes drive here. You will not be able to put any vids up on the tube. All we will here is biep biep biep biep ag fuck biep doos biep jou ma se poss. This place is n riller ek sê. Like your way of reviewing. It gives some spice.
Acoustic locking (aka the hoot) can be disengaged in the settings. It’s all a matter of preference.
Still a good looking car, and I'm sure you feel like royalty wafting around in it, but it also feels like just more of the same old same old. With the transition to electric evolving from a ripple to a tsunami, it is hard to find any excitement in another expensive and incrementally improved dinosaur burner.
Try the Chery Tiggo 7 pro voice assistant..
There is a way to press the key/in the dash menu and it will silence the hooter on lock if thats not your style i silenced mine on the older model. Very cool car i agree the screen is a bit too big give us a volume knob like why is that not just in every car...
I love this reviewer - no one else on the planet has had the courage to pan the crazy interior and it's hideous touch screen.
Am always looking forward to your reviews
BMW 3SERIES TICKS ALL THE BOXES
If you must have a C, I think a used prev gen would be more than enough.
What a car. These cars have become more lower and stylish. Just the pricetag, eish.
Great review as always. SUVs all the way, more practical. Can’t wait for your X3 review. You should be able to disable the hooter when locking the car
New Sorento Juliet please
I love me a car with 140kW of power and higher. Only problem is they are kak expensive now for absolutely no reason at all. The hatchbacks are even worse, Audi's 40 TFSI costs about R710 600 without extras. The worst brands are BMW and Merc have 110/115/120kW hatchbacks at ridiculous prices. It is just crazy.

I test drove one. It's okay. It's not great but okay. The W204 C Class had far far better base speakers. Since then Mercedes has cut costs so you are forced to upgrade to the better system which is sad. I have a 2014 E Class with base speakers and it sounds 10 times better than the C Class and new E Class base speakers.

Mercedes made the computerised woman inside their infotainment system as realistic as possible... "She doesn't understand me" 🤣😜
I'm loving your reviews👌🏾

Love you videos 🤣. Don’t ever change neh. 👊🏾
Agree with the too much tech sentiment. Bring back the buttons! And tech ages terribly. Since when does luxury mean screens everywhere? Look at a Chiron interior, beautifully crafted out of high end materials. A Rolex is NOT a smartwatch. I don't agree with the SUV fad. It's a compromised vehicle. Heavier (so consumes more fuel and more sluggish, worse braking). Ironically people feel safer in them but they are less safe with the worse breaking and high center of gravity means worse handling and body roll. Space is no more than most sedans, if you really need space get an estate.

South Africans really don’t like estates or wagons. They look like hearses 😏
You can change the settings so the car doesn't beep at you when it's locked, I turned it off on my E-Class because I don't want to announce to my entire road at night that I'm arriving home.
A mini mini S-Class because it is a smaller version of the E-Class, which is a smaller version of the S-Class. I hate it when manufactures do this. It's still a good looking car though
The next time you get an Audi, PLEASEEEEE can you review it barefoot! 🙏🏻
The car seems to have great specifications. I love the looks. Very luxurious and elegant. Very costly but is worth it, Benz
Please do one with the new polo GTI
Reviews are always entertaining 😁 I hope mercedes sees past the brutal honesty and gifts you one of these bad boys as a daily. Great looking cars
Tint windows car will be cooler when you jump in.
Love it
The high price is not unique to this c class. Many cars that averaged 300k are now 500k. 500k are now 700k. 700k are now a million plus. It’s the horrible economics of car pricing. That’s why Haval & other brands are making inroads. But many people (money not being an issue) would choose a Merc/Audi/Jaguar/BMW anyday over a cheaper but lesser known brand
🤣 Loved the review and the burned ass....🤣👌🏼
Lol, interesting review.
As an Aussie I have Been to Cape Town & I think that's a perfect place for the review. It's a beautiful vehicle & the MBUX is a great system. We no longer get diesel variants here unfortunately with MB Aust no longer interested in importing them here .
Even I have to admit they just not as cool and nice as before these sedans. They make sense as a first car but after that? Nop.
i hate tech in cars. they malfunction, are expensive to replace, hard to touch, hard to slide, hard to press accurately, sometimes they lagggggg, attract fingerprints. manufacturers need to stop

You will not pay less than R1mil if you tick the boxes…beautiful car and everything, but I’d rather go for a hilux and drive it forever and a day
I test drove one. The screen is very easy and simple to use. It's very intuitive so buttons are really not missed. For me the most disappointing aspect was the interior material quality. Build quality feels solid but the material quality is awful with a lot more hard plastic used versus the old generations of C Class. At over R1 million it didn't even have navigation, electric seats (just partial), radar cruise or Lane keeping and blind spot monitoring all of which is standard in a R400k Haval Jolion. So I was just overall disappointed. The premium brands are no longer worth their price premium because they don't offer anything over and above mainstream brands anymore. There's no more impeccable material quality, no more great engines (there used to be 6 cylinder options which makes a Mercedes feel like a Mercedes) and they are not even ahead on technology because everyone has the tech these days. So what is there? Nothing. Kinda sad.
Just came across this channel and I am here to stay😉😉
I’ll take this car in estate guise and AMG trim over an SUV any day.

The hooting can be turned off- been a feature on all Mercedes since 2000’s 🙂
Car prices 📈😳
I’d rather just get a 2021 C63 it’s 400k more but it’s the final V8 model so its worth it
You are ruddy duddy. 😝
Forgot to talk about the engine, mpg and other specs.

I've got a W205 coupe & I kin love it... Next up is an E Class convertible I hope. Keeps me honest paying for it. FYI I'm a Merc fanboy just can't imagine life without it. Or others in the future. I feel like I'm consoling my friend with an Audi when he braggs about I'ts features.
I thought you of all people would be more excited about the new C-Class. Looks the same as outgoing one. Almost like Audi these days.
Not worth R900k for me 😱
that touch is a fingerprint magnet 🧲
Price is just ridiculous! Especially for, what is now, an irrelevant shape of car... SUV's and bakkies for life!
Cars are expensive 😫 😩
yes these cars are starting to be boring and they are loosing their charm because of their interiors with massive screens we dont want TVs in our cars 😐
This is just a mini S class
Overpriced..NEXT

Hi there. You should do more reviews on Indian cars rather than German luxury sedans. Not that the review isn't good or than this Merc is way over priced... But just saw how many views you got from Indian viewers for that Mahindra reviews. Epic algorithm hack 👍
Haha at the beginning hot mess cant deal part
