It really is outstanding

They was able? Lol 😂 that amazes? 😂 learn to speak....

It’s still unreliable as ever. That much power in a 4 banger comes at a cost. Terrible cooling. Just wait till the cylinder head cracks or lil turbo breaks down.

@@FF-hd3uxHe’s not speaking, he’s typing Einstein.

"usually" the previous gen interior was all creaky faux-carbon fiber plastic

@@TheBreakfastLover But the old gen had a 6 cylinder engine lol

This is very true!

Yup, my GLA45 wants that 400hp treatment though hahahaha

Thank you for letting me share it with you

You will love it Wayne! Thanks for letting me share it with you!

Thanks for letting me share it with you

You can't but honestly it doesn't sound artificial.

I own an M340i and I'll say that i sat in the C class at the auto show this year, and the interior actually did feel "nicer" versus the BMW. But that's it, otherwise the BMW is superior in every way to this car. The dash materials on the mercedes are nicer, and the ambient lighting and overall design just looks nicer. The BMW is the big idrive8 screen and like 2 basic light strips. It's a little disappointing.

Also the new Mercedes AMG steering wheel looks and feels better than the BMW one. BMW has a new wheel coming through but the 3 series still uses the wheel they've had for years and years.

except other than the highlighted top portion everything else in the BMW is nicer. Door pockets in the Mercedes are all hard plastic as an example, and no rear AC controls.@@myemailiscool

@@Jacobk66 true BMW does have a softer touch material on the lower doors. Though our audi is hard plastic down there and i don't really notice much of a difference day-to-day between the 2 cars. Rear AC controls in a sedan is a plus for the BMW for sure

@@Jacobk66 Thinking even more re: materials, honestly a lot of stuff only youtubers care about. For example I paid like $350 for the sensatec dashboard on my 3 series and now i think i totally would've been fine with the standard soft injection molded dashboard. The crucial touchpoints are what matter to me, where my elbows rest and the upper door panels need to be soft. Besides that, it's mainly just nice to know the materials are good but i never touch my dashboard and feel it lol.

Thank you for letting me share the laughs and the cars with you!

Well that's exactly why it's a zonk. The fact that Merc makes you pay extra for this when the competition has them standard.

@@porfiriato84 What competition has that as standard? BMW M340i? No... Audi S4? No...

I totally understand, just don’t like it

@RaitisRides hey Joe!! Great review as always!

Thanks brother!

Good call David

​@@Brian_Eugene_Lee The red that BMW uses that looks more like a burgundy looks better than bright red

Everything below the waist level is hard plastic. BMW and Audi or even Genesis is nicer now.

@@Jacobk66 Yeah hard plastic below the waist is like normal economy car, not a $70k car...

That’s a great question

Yes, true. I have one as well. Beautiful machine 😍

340i xDrive for me would be the top pick right now in this segment. Def agree with that.

M340i isnt great looking

I prefer this mercedes overall, both are nice tho

Try the C43 before you judge it

Do it, love my 2023 c43

I’m so glad that you are liking this one

Ok so as Joe mentioned its a 70k car as is and you want to add more options to a 4 cyl "baby benz" really. The fact that it is not equipped with ventilated seats and a hud is bad, not to mention not 4 matic for the price.

​@@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?

@@harrylanders4895 I just went and configured a C43 Premium with the performance exhaust, all of the driving assistance features, brown leather, USB Cfront and rear. Navigation, carbon trim, 4 way climate control, ventilated seats, etc. and it was $71,500 plus tax, destination. it all depends on how it's configured.

Not even close. The true cost of ownership on a Benz of this class and caliber (AMG) is far beyond the sticker price. It will constantly bite at your bank account with the numerous amount of problems you will encounter during ownership.

@@GOD999MODEreally ? Compared to others in the class (m340, S5 etc.)

Let me know what you think!

I like BMW more. Once you get the carbon fibre trim and m performance exhaust it’s lights out.

There is an optional panoramic roof for ~$1K. I was a little sad that I didn't get it with mine but I don't really ever use a sun roof. And if what you're saying holds true in the new model then I'm glad I saved my money.

@@solace669 Never ever buy a car with sunroof. Especially if it is a sports car. It is just dumb. Paying money for something that compromises rigidity adds weight, complication and robs you from headroom.

Gracias Luis!

@@RaitisRides A usted. Will You review a Génesis GV80 Prestige Signature the Disciple on the Luxury SUV's?

I’m planing on it! Stay tuned!

@@Brian_Eugene_Lee oopsie my mistake.

Why is there a Camry Malibu accord and fusion and altima in that list, you just naming regular sedans

@@rayvax5067 that C Class is Midsize Sedan

@@rakhsiprayogo82 lol midsize performance sedans, not regular traffic

My thoughts exactly… 🤔wtf were they thinking?

Add in the fact BMW B58 is getting 5 mpg better city and highway in a M340. My guess is Mercedes own I6 would've had better MPG too.

emissions.

While Mercedes' numbers show it being no better than the V6 I have no idea how they were able to get the numbers that low. I own one and drove it cross country (Ohio to Colorado). I was averaging 35 mpg including all of the stops that I made. While that is not great, it's a hell of a lot better than they claimed.

He's driving a $70k model and it has a 6 speaker base audio system.
