First
awesome car with an awesome car reviewer
This is not a sporty toyota or subaru if i spend that much money on a mercedes it should've atleast be a 6 cylinder or v8
Nice review bro & I try to afford this vehicle.
This is a little gem: I’m car shopping and I’m single and I’ve ruled out the M5 Competition because I would have to defend my decision to family members for the price. This would fit the bill perfectly! I need to go drive one! Thank you for showing this AMG C43 to us, Gold Pony!
There's no denying that MBZ is gorgeous in every way, but I'm not shelling out $75k for a 4 banger, Iwhen it comes to EV's I'm not a big fan untill I see all the $$$ I can save by witching from gasoline to electric. I've done a little research on 4 EV models that qualify for the $7,500 tax credit that I would consider if I had $75k to blow on a vehicle.
(1) Acura ZDX (2) Cadillac Lyriq (3) Chevy Blazer (4) Tesla Model 3 Performance (0-60 in 3.5 sec). Average annual fuel cost for a regular engine is $1,700 whereas an EV it's only $400.
So, not only are you saving $7,500 off the purchase price, but also $1,300 in fuel cost.
Beautiful car. But the "off the mark power" is not coming from the 4 banger but from the electric motors providing instant acceleration. The sad part is that once you are driving, you don't hear a suitable growl but the typical 4 banger whine. MB tries to compensate with fake engine noises piped into the cabin through the stereo (just like some Fords and BMWs). It is fine, but not something I would want to spend $75k for because for that money I would want a vehicle whose small engine is not pushed to the limit (and there are nice offerings that fit the bill for less). The chance of failure is higher, and repairs are not cheap.
What is the reason for the black “bow” that is tied over the engine?
That's a cute car! Very pricey, but as you stated, 2K add on should be standard.
You mentioned park assist.. Can you in a future model, DEMONSTRATE IT? I've heard of it but not seen in action.
Also I'd like to SEE the steering wheel buttons on future vids please? I'm into the techy stuff LOL
Amazing review bro.
I have a ‘24 ❤ it
I owned this car for eight months, and had to trade it back in. The issues I had were the following:
1) Clunky transmission- terrible at low speeds.
2) Cheap interior plastics. The creaking doesn’t stop.
3) Three occasions, all the lights in the dash populated, screaming at me to stop driving. After the third visit to the dealership, I gave it back.
I’ve owned BMW M cars and Audi S vehicles, and I’d say, this example of the C43 isn’t up to snuff to your typical Mercedes standard. Maybe it’s the C chassis that can’t support the power, but this one let me down. I really wanted to love this car, but I couldn’t.
Buyer beware.
(Went back to Audi and picked up the S5 Sportback).
Thanks for the review. You can spec out a 2024 E450 for less than this model lists for as tested. This one just isn't worth it.
Excellent review, so much info, thank you brother!!!
Coming from a c300 I wanted to upgrade to something fast… i ordered a c43 but ended up cancelling and went with a widebody charger Scatpack.. I’m not dropping damn near 70k on a 4 cylinder.. sorry.
Excellent review! I love mine, but don't like the occasional slow speed clunks in the transmission (even after warmup).
So your thumb was in the way when you accelerate it,, next time hold on somewhere else so we can see the progression
Gran coupe. No place back.
The exhaust is not good sounding compared to the last gen c43 and its slower
I owe, I owe, its off to work I go!
Another larger Youtuber reviewed this car and said "While I see many people stating that the transmission is clunky, most say this when the transmission is not up to temp or they just got into the car. The transmission gets smoother as it warms up as it's tuned for speed".
The transmission is fine. You have to warm it properly for you, put it in sport+ mode, then it runs smoothly, and it launches perfectly. I did 0-60 4.3 so far it gets faster with mileage.
There is also a sensor at the bottom of the rear trunk. You can kick your leg underneath, and the trunk will open. You also forgot to talk about the projector headlights that display the amg and mercedes symbol when you get in and out. Also, when you are traveling on the highway, the signal arrow will be displayed on the highway when taking long trips. And you have self parking
