Mercedes Benz C43 AMG Review | Refreshed for 2019 but is it Enough? - Sponsored by MotorEnvy
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I drive a Mercedes AMG for the first time ever so I figured I'd take it easy and go with the facelifted C43 AMG. Does this new 385HP car have what it takes to take down the BMW M340i?

Quick footnote for the Fast List - the 2016 BMW 340i is xDrive and the 2009 BMW 535i has a JB+ tune and intake. Wanna see this car go up against the 2020 BMW M340i? Watch our head to head review and roll race here >>> kzread.info/dash/bejne/pXeWj5emd6SomaQ.html

Great review and I look forward to the head to head. Also great news the new RS6 will he coming to the states. So now my choice is hard its RS5 or RS6. I would throw the Taycan in their but its alot more and is already sold out for the first year.

Thanks! It'll be my first head to head so take it easy on me 😄 The RS5 and RS6 are two different animals IMO. If I could afford it, I would go RS6 (maybe wait for the performance variant) because I don't think you need another car after that.

I knew it was coming to the US at some point, but not that it's finally happening, I need to really figure out how to have one. Wife is looking to upgrade next year but it's out of her budget range so, I am trying to convince her to go halfsies on an RS6 with me 😄

One thing to point out when it comes to steering, it's electronic steering so when you're driving around town it's loose, but hardens the harder you push it. It's really quite impressive.
Definitely an underrated car review channel. Keep making videos, you are definitely going to be a breath of fresh air for ALOT of people. 💪🏾
As a fellow car content creator I really appreciate the time you put in to make cinematic footage like this keep up the good work👌🏻

Absolutelyyyyyyy subscribing to this channel. First time viewing and I am extremely impressed . This quality with only 50k subs ? I look forward to seing what this guy produces once he hits a million
Really digging the return to a review style of video this week. The car looks great and that sound.... But kind of disappointing it gives a slow feeling. Absolutely love the conversation with your wife 😄
sort of randomly stumbled upon this video but I'm glad I did...your quality is through the roof. keep grinding like this and you'll be one of the big time car channels...good luck. you earned my sub and this is your only video I've seen haha
Beautiful car!!! Brilliant review. Love the switch between other models gives you a much better comparison than other reviews.

Listen here my guy if you don’t continue making perfectly good videos like this we gon have a fight!!😭🙏🏾 I love the editing the quality!!! Everything!!!
Another superb vid- many thanks. The lighting and fog at 9:03 has great cinematic effect. As for the car- a six cylinder, even with turbo's is underwhelming. The V8 in the C63 is probable cause for a felony- just glorious. From personal experience, it's difficult to return those. Never did like the rectangular screen above three round vents- it looks contrived.

Last year my hubby had a c63 and o had the gla45, both 17 plates. Sold both ( hubby got an Emira on order) and I've got a 43. Tbh the 43 is the better car. Its a perfect combination of the other 2. Got a stage 1 map as well so now it eats the standard C63. ☺
This is the best car review I have ever seen. and i've seen a lot
You got a new subscriber love the way you make and describe your videos 🔥👌🏾

amazing video, honestly, advert quality! 10/10

The style of this coupe is timeless ❤
Great Video dude 👍🏼
Real quality work as usual. I'd like to see a CLA45 test (considering getting one myself, but have been back & forth with that an the C43 as well as a few other cars)
Your video is Magnificent. Why can all youtubers video looks this crispy? Is it that hard to do? You got youtubers buying expensive cars but not a camera equipment? Make no sense!!.
Honest review. Great video!
Cool review yo... likely, i'm gonna get this car on the next purchase... Thanks,
The videography was amazing
Would have loved to see the interior with all the options. Beautiful color, love the matte finish

Thanks for this, I was thinking about trading my 335i in and upgrading to a C43 but wasnt sure if it would actually be an upgrade since the drive train is similar. Also wasnt sure if the price was worth the Car, this gave me a better idea. Probably spring for the C63 when i have the chance

I have the 2017 amg c43 1st one that came out after awhile . 67k msrp 88k out the door with some interest n warranty. Anyways they gave me a free ticket to laguna Seca to drive their cars. From amg cla45 up to their monster amg gt. The only cars that i didnt get to drive n were there was their amg sls , amg g wagon ,4 door amg gt. I guess its for show only .My amg c43 sits right in the middle of the pack .perfectly built to what it can do.Same feeling as other amgs!! My car definitely doesn't feel short from being one. I kinda regret buying it because people say its not a real amg bc it doesnt have the hand built engine . I really fell in love with my amg c43 when I test drove it at the dealership n turned on the exhaust switch. Big difference. Just waiting for my warranty to expire then I'll probably tune it n pretty much smoke everyone . He he he c ya suckas. Took it to the 1/8 mile drag race in San diego too stock. Smoked some m2s wrx srts Even the tesla 3 I guess hahaha. The closest race I had was with an audi tt got me from the start but caught up.I wanted to race a gtr but he blew up his motor. Lucky me whew! I probably wouldve kept up with that If I had a tune. my c43 has a really big potential. N it's not just a sports car it's a Mercedes too with a switch of a button . 16k miles tires up front balled already 7/32 in the back still.changed it to 4 dw06 from original ssr 5 continental. So far it feels the same as when I first bought it. See how far the tires will last this time.

@@jordanroberts7931 probably gonna keep her for as long as I can ... it's my 1st mercedes got the extended warranty so whatever needs to break needs to break now haha ... Hopefully she will last.. i pay 300 -500 for maintenance once a year.. Just did the fuel injection flush with it and recommended me to replace the rear brake pads at 20k miles! Hoping if I keep up with these she will last...wife loves it too so maybe I'll give it to her. I think the model pacticularly the c class 43 2017 could be a collector's car. Since it's the 1st one that came out after the original 43amg and mine is one of the 1st ones the came in the dealership. Didnt have the amg badge on the engine cover n wheels are plain color alloy. Just looks perfect with black exterior n amg seats with package 4 options. .it has that pilot assist. You'll love it in traffic ..it pretty much drives for u. All im missing is the amg steering wheel n the heads up display.. with the new ones now this will cost u more than 70k .I think i remember driving the old c43 amg in gran turismo 1 or 2 haha ..oh yeah I dont mind buying used especially mercedes or BMW!! Its just some people around me that likes everything brand new lol...u know the saying "there's nothing like a brand new car"
i just ordered the same exact car with all the options. Same colour. But you are scaring me about it being slow. I can get the c63 but I live in Canada and needed something daily. You get a sub because you speak honestly. Truth hurt a little though. Great video quality

Congrats on the purchase! You can't go wrong with that color, it's beautiful. To clarify, it's not slow for it's segment. It's only bested by the M340i by a little. When I criticize it for being slow at the end of the video, it was more of a behind the scenes conversation with my wife and it's only because I am used to driving much faster cars way out of it's segment.

What digital readout on the steering wheel are you referring to?
Damn the quality is crazy
tuned in to get a better look at the exterior color. Getting old listening to YT reviewer opinions when all I care about is my own. Mute works great & I do my own test drives.
High quality video
great great great content!
Really good video! some constructive criticism is maybe change your dialog delivery, maybe change the tone and some excitement. I really enjoyed the video though! 🍻
The exhaust sounds like a v6 lightning 🌩 bolt
It sounds fast but it’s not that fast? Having a comparison would be nice. I’m looking at this for my daily… so will it be slow in comparison to my F8, or a Camry?
I dont know what kind of merc you get in your country but in mine this car is pit together top quality and everything you touch is glorious.
Great video thanks!
Awesome video. Cinematics remind me of top gear( the good days with Jeremy Clarkson). Question, @ 2:20 what did you mean by LCD read out on the steering wheel? I couldn’t find any lcd steering wheels by Mercedes other than the F1 models

Thanks for the compliment! So if you google the AMG Performance Steering Wheel, you'll get some results that show a steering wheel with two little digital dials on the right and left bottom half that give you performance controls. It's not very different looking than the standard one, just adds the additional controls and display down there.

I have a C43 AMG Cabriolet. It's a lovely car. Gets lots of looks and comments. Nicely quick and agile and can still get 30mpg on a road trip. BUT....the tires and wheels are very fragile. I've had 5 or 6 flat tires and 3 cracked wheels. I'm always just one 2" pothole away from a significant expense and inconvenience and for that reason, I am very reluctant to take it out of town. I have had several other vehicles with low profile or run flat tires and not encountered this problem in identical driving conditions. I've noticed that others are having similar problems on several Mercedes Benz forums.
You are really close. Your purposeful cadence is excellent. Missing consistent smoothness. It’s best during the voiceovers. I love your videos. Sarcastic quips are missing for the audience you’re gonna be shooting for. I think you’re well on your way to stardom. Good work.

My wife has a c43 AMG I did downpipes and x pipe and tune plus drop in filters it's dyno number was 455 awd wheel horsepower. That at a 20 percent driveline lose is 500 hp. I live in New England a c63 with it rwd is out of the question for my wife. We have owned the car for 2 years and absolutely love it a am a huge Benz guy though. I've tried all other German brands and Mercedes is just the must reliable in the long run. I know most people lease these types of cars so they don't see the breakdowns that come in the long run.

D Lugo I have the 2017 GLC43 AMG suv With Renntech tune. I took out E63s on the highway from Los Angeles to Phoenix. From 80 mph he hunked and I passed him at 125mph till 150 where we both left off. I had him by 2 cars. That was a roll and from a dig I clocked 3.4 seconds to 60 mph. I haven’t done a quarter mile yet. The engine is bulletproof and I drive it fast daily! No regrets for not getting the GLC63s.
How would you say this stacks up to the STI I think there clearly reaching at it
