TLDRDie Mercedes C-Klasse ist die kleinste Limousine der Marke, elegant designt und jetzt mit neuen Lichtern sowie moderner Technik ausgestattet. Sie konkurriert direkt mit dem BMW 3er und Audi A4 und bietet ein starkes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Das Interieur hat eine hochwertige Verarbeitung, aber im Vergleich zu neueren Modellen könnte es etwas veraltet erscheinen. Die Infotainment-Systeme sind gut, obwohl es kein Touchscreen gibt. Der Fahrkomfort ist insgesamt gut, die Motoren bieten eine breite Auswahl, wobei besonders der 2.0 Diesel als effizient gilt. Die C-Klasse ist ein Favorit unter den Premium-Fahrzeugen, hat jedoch ihre Alterserscheinungen.

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    Die Mercedes C-Klasse präsentiert sich als kompaktes Premium-Fahrzeug, das elegant wirkt und in die E- und S-Klasse passt. Neueste Updates beinhalten verbesserte Lichter, neue Technologien und vereinfachte Motoren. Sie startet bei 29.000 Pfund, mit Einsparungen von über 5.000 Pfund. Das Design bleibt ansprechend mit großen Rücklichtern und sportlichen Akzenten, die das Fahrzeug leistungsstark erscheinen lassen. Das Interieur erfüllt hohe Standards, obwohl es im Vergleich zur günstigeren A-Klasse etwas veraltet wirkt. Die Materialien sind von hoher Qualität, aber das Infotainmentsystem könnte moderner sein.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Die C-Klasse bietet verschiedene Ausstattungsmodelle, beginnend mit dem S-Modell, das günstige Features beinhaltet. Das SE-Modell verbessert die Technologie mit einem 10-Zoll-Infotainment-Bildschirm und zusätzlichen Komfortfunktionen. Die AMG-Linie bietet sportlichere Fahrwerks- und Ausstattungsvarianten. Das Infotainmentsystem hat Verbesserungen erfahren, ist aber immer noch nicht auf dem neuesten Stand, da kein Touchscreen verwendet wird. Eine Smartphone-Konnektivität ist vorhanden, aber nicht standardmäßig.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:18:05

    Das Fahren der C-Klasse ist auf Komfort ausgelegt, zeigt aber bei Unebenheiten ein gewisses Schwingen. Der Einstieg ist angenehm, jedoch ist die Rückbank weniger geräumig als die der Konkurrenz. Im Kofferraum gibt es ausreichend Platz, jedoch ist der Zugang nicht optimal. Oft nervige Merkmale sind, dass Carplay/Android Auto extra kosten und das Design teilweise altmodisch wirkt. Motortechnisch gibt es eine große Auswahl, wobei die 2-Liter Dieselversion für Leistung und Effizienz am besten geeignet ist. Die C-Klasse ist eine durchweg gute Familienlimousine, zeigt jedoch Anzeichen des Alters.

    this is the Mercedes c-class and it's a
  • 00:00:02
    little bit like the smallest of Russian
  • 00:00:05
    dolls because he can imagine it fitting
  • 00:00:07
    inside the e-class which would fit
  • 00:00:09
    inside the s-class it looks super
  • 00:00:11
    premium now Mercedes has just updated it
  • 00:00:14
    so it's got some new lights and it's got
  • 00:00:16
    some new tech and new engines and a
  • 00:00:18
    simplified model range as well it's a
  • 00:00:20
    kind of car you probably going to be
  • 00:00:21
    considering if you're also looking at a
  • 00:00:23
    BMW 3-series or an Audi a4 now the
  • 00:00:26
    c-class it starts on 29,000 pounds that
  • 00:00:29
    you can save at the moment an average of
  • 00:00:31
    over 5 grand on one through car Wow
  • 00:00:34
    so if you want to see how much money you
  • 00:00:36

    you can see the best offers from our
  • 00:00:42
    trusted dealers let's kick off this
  • 00:00:47
    review by talking about the design of
  • 00:00:49
    the c-class so it's been around for
  • 00:00:50
    quite a while now it still looks very
  • 00:00:52
    very elegant the big taillights the
  • 00:00:55
    chrome strips got chrome down here as
  • 00:00:59
    well and on the exhaust surround and
  • 00:01:01
    there is a real exhaust pipe in here on
  • 00:01:03
    this petrol model so yeah that's good
  • 00:01:05
    there's even a diffuser here it's a fake
  • 00:01:08
    diffuser though it's not really doing
  • 00:01:09
    much but it does look sporty down the
  • 00:01:12
    side strong shoulder lines and stuff it
  • 00:01:14
    does look quite impressive and you've
  • 00:01:18
    got nice bits of chrome as well which
  • 00:01:20
    makes it feel expensive now I see me
  • 00:01:22
    flip the reins get bigger alloy wheels
  • 00:01:24
    and if you go for an AMG line version
  • 00:01:25
    they are just a bit more sporty with
  • 00:01:27
    bigger more aggressive front bumpers
  • 00:01:30
    there is some fakery here as well there
  • 00:01:32
    look that doesn't feel there anywhere
  • 00:01:36
    but it does look like a posh car of
  • 00:01:39
    course you've got not just one huge
  • 00:01:42
    Mercedes three-point star here there's
  • 00:01:43
    another one on the bonnet as well so
  • 00:01:45
    lots of branding the best unearthing the
  • 00:01:49
    inside of the Mercedes c-class is pretty
  • 00:01:51
    much identical to it was before it was
  • 00:01:53
    revised now generally I like the design
  • 00:01:56
    but when he compared it to the very
  • 00:01:58
    latest Mercedes such as the cheaper
  • 00:02:00
    a-class it doesn't feel quite as modern
  • 00:02:02
    so here's a look at the a cusses
  • 00:02:04
    interior now look at this nice but like
  • 00:02:07
    I say it's starting to feel it's aged a
  • 00:02:09
    touch but things that you touch feel
  • 00:02:12
    expensive
  • 00:02:13
    a soft touch a soft touch a soft touch
  • 00:02:17
    softly soft a even softly on the door
  • 00:02:20
    bins softy
  • 00:02:21
    and then there's metallic e expensive e
  • 00:02:23
    bits o more metallic e expensive emits
  • 00:02:26
    and here and here there's quite a bit of
  • 00:02:28
    bling in here and this piano black
  • 00:02:30
    plastic on the center console looks good
  • 00:02:32
    word of warning though you touch you
  • 00:02:34
    with anything can you scratch it also
  • 00:02:36
    things feel solid look no flex in the
  • 00:02:38
    center console when I wobble it like I
  • 00:02:40
    did in the case thing go and it wobbled
  • 00:02:41
    and everyone got mad because I had never
  • 00:02:43
    done that before anyway yeah it feels
  • 00:02:45
    solid the major difference with this car
  • 00:02:48
    though is infotainment system and that
  • 00:02:50
    brings me on to the specs the c-class
  • 00:02:53
    range kicks off with the S model and it
  • 00:02:55
    gets artico leather seats artico is
  • 00:02:58
    Mercedes speak for fake there's also
  • 00:03:01
    rain sensing wipers but I think your
  • 00:03:03
    void yes because the rest of the spec is
  • 00:03:05
    terrible you get halogen headlamps ma
  • 00:03:07
    then there's SE model of which gets a 10
  • 00:03:10
    inch infotainment screen with inbuilt
  • 00:03:12
    sat-nav it also has a reversing camera
  • 00:03:14
    and Park Assist which will automatically
  • 00:03:15
    park the car for you if you're rubbish
  • 00:03:18
    at it and heated front seats next is a
  • 00:03:22
    sports model and it gets lowered
  • 00:03:23
    stiffened sporty suspension full LED
  • 00:03:26
    headlights my impression of the
  • 00:03:30
    headlight and a napa leather sports
  • 00:03:32
    steering wheel the mg like it's upgraded
  • 00:03:35
    brakes tinted windows my reflection
  • 00:03:39
    can't see in there and a 12 inch digital
  • 00:03:43
    drivers display then there's some key
  • 00:03:45
    facts that you might want such as the
  • 00:03:46
    Premium Plus pack which includes an
  • 00:03:48
    upgraded satellite navigation system
  • 00:03:50
    Internet connectivity ambient lighting
  • 00:03:53
    with look 64 different color choices and
  • 00:03:58
    360 degree view cameras to make it easy
  • 00:04:01
    when parking Oh does includes a
  • 00:04:03
    purposeless duo which sounds awesome
  • 00:04:05
    another one worth having is the driving
  • 00:04:06
    assistance pack because it includes an
  • 00:04:08
    upgraded cruise control system which
  • 00:04:10
    will do the whole thing of slowing you
  • 00:04:12
    down automatically in traffic and
  • 00:04:13
    steering to keep you in line let's
  • 00:04:15
    continue this review by assessing the
  • 00:04:16
    infotainment system so it's better than
  • 00:04:18
    the one that was previously in the
  • 00:04:19
    c-class however it's not the very latest
  • 00:04:22
    one that you get in the a-class so
  • 00:04:24
    there's no touchscreen instead of you
  • 00:04:26
    control
  • 00:04:26
    it either using the swivel the touchpad
  • 00:04:29
    the touchpad on the left side of the
  • 00:04:31
    steering wheel and it is pretty easy to
  • 00:04:33
    navigate the graphics are sharp and
  • 00:04:35
    generally quite easy to use Sat Navs
  • 00:04:37
    pretty good as well and it'll dive at
  • 00:04:39
    your own traffic and all that kind of
  • 00:04:40
    stuff it's easy to input destinations
  • 00:04:42
    but what I'd do is just run Google Maps
  • 00:04:44
    always through your Android phone or
  • 00:04:46
    Apple phone through apple carplay or
  • 00:04:48
    Android auto now the optional digital
  • 00:04:50
    drivers display is also pretty good I do
  • 00:04:53
    like it and you can control it using the
  • 00:04:55
    button on the right-hand side of the
  • 00:04:56
    wheel it's not quite as configurable as
  • 00:04:59
    a system you get an Audi a4 but it's
  • 00:05:01
    still fairly nice in fact if you want to
  • 00:05:04
    see my fault in depth video review of
  • 00:05:05
    the Audi a4 just click on the pop-up on
  • 00:05:07
    the top right hand corner of the screen
  • 00:05:08
    to check that out and in terms of
  • 00:05:10
    connectivity if you look under here you
  • 00:05:12
    have an input there for your mobile
  • 00:05:14
    phone that's where you plug in your
  • 00:05:16
    warrant for the apple cobbler and
  • 00:05:17
    android auto there's a couple more in
  • 00:05:19
    here as well you can use if you prefer
  • 00:05:20
    so that's three in the front which is
  • 00:05:22
    good where is the 12 volt socket I can't
  • 00:05:24
    see it no that's unusual what is it
  • 00:05:32
    those in the glovebox kind of the seat
  • 00:05:35
    at weird opening allomere don't let
  • 00:05:39
    anyway you do have a charging pad there
  • 00:05:42
    for your mobile phone I'm gonna continue
  • 00:05:43
    with the cubby spaces so the door bins
  • 00:05:45
    they are large and they long so you can
  • 00:05:49
    put various bottles in there and lie
  • 00:05:50
    them down if you so wish and here there
  • 00:05:52
    are some cup holders which define for
  • 00:05:55
    your coffee alright for the smaller cups
  • 00:05:57
    as well they might knock the top off but
  • 00:05:59
    do you rattle about a bit though because
  • 00:06:01
    it's a bit loose looking into this if
  • 00:06:03
    you only who's that horrific something
  • 00:06:04
    else you can remove the cup holders you
  • 00:06:06
    also get a place for your sunglasses
  • 00:06:08
    look so it's actually left there Ray Ban
  • 00:06:11
    aviators in there this car is actually
  • 00:06:13
    from mercedes-benz Chelsea so it must be
  • 00:06:15
    the taylors wonderful notice if I keep
  • 00:06:18
    them anyway the seating position is
  • 00:06:22
    pretty good you can adjust the seat base
  • 00:06:23
    there is plenty of movement in the sea
  • 00:06:26
    actually so far back really far back and
  • 00:06:28
    you can get it high enough if you're
  • 00:06:31
    sure didn't low enough you know these
  • 00:06:33
    manufacturers are nailing the seating
  • 00:06:35
    position my only concern with the
  • 00:06:37
    c-class is that the steering wheel is
  • 00:06:39
    slightly
  • 00:06:40
    set to the left save you differ a touch
  • 00:06:42
    twisted behind the wheel but it's not as
  • 00:06:44
    bad as on older Mercedes so I think
  • 00:06:47
    that's the front delt with let's go to
  • 00:06:48
    the back and check out there from rear
  • 00:06:50
    passengers so the rear doors they open
  • 00:06:53
    nice and wide
  • 00:06:53
    but this wheel arch does entry quite a
  • 00:06:56
    bit so just a little bit more awkward to
  • 00:06:58
    get into than some other posh German
  • 00:07:02
    cars but once you're in it does feel
  • 00:07:04
    posh indeed I love things like this
  • 00:07:07
    you've got actual flaps like on an
  • 00:07:09
    airplane the materials feel quality all
  • 00:07:12
    the way back here it is good knee room
  • 00:07:14
    that's good as well what's not so good
  • 00:07:16
    dog look at the Headroom my gosh it is a
  • 00:07:19
    little bit tight people over six foot
  • 00:07:21
    will struggle and that's the price to
  • 00:07:23
    pay for that sloping roofline
  • 00:07:24
    and it's made worse by having the glass
  • 00:07:26
    roof if you need to go through it once
  • 00:07:28
    it's all right the middle see the only
  • 00:07:31
    problem is that while you do have more
  • 00:07:34
    Headroom in the middle the people on the
  • 00:07:35
    outside get pushed outwards to their
  • 00:07:37
    heads end up hitting this roof on the
  • 00:07:39
    way arcsin also the foot whales aren't
  • 00:07:42
    the biggest in the world so you do end
  • 00:07:44
    up having to pay a little bit of kind of
  • 00:07:46
    foot wars it's not terrible it's just
  • 00:07:48
    not as good for carrying three people in
  • 00:07:49
    the back as a BMW 3-series and if you
  • 00:07:52
    click on the pop-up banner up there or
  • 00:07:54
    follow the link below the video you can
  • 00:07:55
    watch my in-depth video review of that
  • 00:07:57
    car can't complain about the door bins
  • 00:07:59
    though back here look massive nor the
  • 00:08:01
    fact that we hae the rear windows they
  • 00:08:04
    go all the way down so you can lean out
  • 00:08:06
    if you've got kids in the back and they
  • 00:08:09
    need to charge their mobile devices
  • 00:08:10
    you're gonna have to use this 12 volt
  • 00:08:11
    socket with an adapter though handily
  • 00:08:14
    they do have an ashtray
  • 00:08:15
    they like to smoke weird anyway more
  • 00:08:19
    storage here so you've got a little tray
  • 00:08:21
    here in fact that's so soft it's almost
  • 00:08:23
    like I mean a cat two-stroke it's
  • 00:08:26
    calming yeah you've got some pop out
  • 00:08:31
    cupholders though as well if you need
  • 00:08:32
    them and if you want to coat longer
  • 00:08:35
    items and still have people in the back
  • 00:08:37
    seats some through loading they're great
  • 00:08:39
    for skis or long stuff like decking yes
  • 00:08:43
    in terms of carrying a child seat no
  • 00:08:45
    problem are like the icebergs anchor
  • 00:08:46
    covers they just push back alas it's
  • 00:08:49
    dead easy to mount them and you won't be
  • 00:08:51
    losing the clips because they're
  • 00:08:52
    permanently
  • 00:08:52
    ha-ah and it's actually easy enough to
  • 00:08:55
    fit their child city in here there is
  • 00:08:56
    enough room that if you carry to once
  • 00:08:58
    there's not much space between them so
  • 00:08:59
    you can't really carry a person in
  • 00:09:02
    between now well I've been speaking to
  • 00:09:03
    you but there's there's this thing that
  • 00:09:05
    sort of been putting me off it's a weird
  • 00:09:07
    robot face in the air beds which it
  • 00:09:09
    would just knock away wherever there
  • 00:09:13
    they can freak you out the capacity is
  • 00:09:20
    about average for this size of car
  • 00:09:22
    though it's ten percent less than the
  • 00:09:25
    Audi a4s
  • 00:09:26
    or the BMW 3-series also the opening
  • 00:09:29
    isn't quite so wide it's a bit cuz it's
  • 00:09:31
    a little harder to load the load lip
  • 00:09:33
    itself isn't too high though it's not
  • 00:09:35
    difficult
  • 00:09:35
    waking things out of the boot you do
  • 00:09:39
    have some mitts here and haiyan tie-down
  • 00:09:41
    hooks and hooks to hang things off also
  • 00:09:45
    there's some extra space under here no
  • 00:09:46
    like hey hook that up on there as well
  • 00:09:48
    so you can miss around underneath here
  • 00:09:51
    Mercedes useful shopping little basket
  • 00:09:54
    thing here yes yeah I'm so impressed of
  • 00:09:57
    that always happen though and as you can
  • 00:10:00
    see there's a decent amount of storage
  • 00:10:01
    under that bit there if you've got the
  • 00:10:04
    fold down seats just pull those levers
  • 00:10:07
    to release them and then after lean in
  • 00:10:09
    push it all down and it's actually quite
  • 00:10:11
    a flat load Bay so you can push things
  • 00:10:13
    to the front though it does narrow
  • 00:10:15
    slightly towards the front the boot does
  • 00:10:17
    so it doesn't pair what you can carry in
  • 00:10:19
    there so what exactly can you carry well
  • 00:10:21
    with those back seats down you can carry
  • 00:10:22
    a bike with both wheels attached or two
  • 00:10:25
    large boxes and one small one six more
  • 00:10:27
    boxes a large suitcase and a soft bag
  • 00:10:30
    for the seats back up you can carry too
  • 00:10:31
    large and too small suitcases and a set
  • 00:10:34
    of golf clubs so not too bad in all
  • 00:10:36
    however let's talk about five annoying
  • 00:10:39
    things about this c-class hello carplay
  • 00:10:42
    and android auto aren't standard they
  • 00:10:44
    cost three hundred pounds this pop-up
  • 00:10:47
    door lock knob is a little bit
  • 00:10:49
    old-fashioned looking and it means you
  • 00:10:51
    can't restaurant they want it out
  • 00:10:54
    you think he'd be joining good idea to
  • 00:10:56
    put the shortcut buttons for the
  • 00:10:57
    entertainment system with the main
  • 00:10:58
    controller but no I said it's thought
  • 00:11:00
    nor to deserve to put them up there
  • 00:11:01
    separately with a hybrid version the
  • 00:11:05
    batteries eating the boots plays and as
  • 00:11:07
    a result you have 150 litres less no
  • 00:11:10
    capacity there is any one color pain
  • 00:11:12
    that comes as standard and that's white
  • 00:11:14
    everything else you have to pay for
  • 00:11:17
    thankfully this car is plenty of cool
  • 00:11:19
    features to help make up for all this
  • 00:11:20
    this 5 the upgraded from bass sound
  • 00:11:24
    system uses the chasis crossmember to
  • 00:11:27
    amplify the subwoofer because it's solid
  • 00:11:29
    structure gives clear bass the satellite
  • 00:11:32
    navigation system knows when you're
  • 00:11:33
    entering the tunnel and it puts the
  • 00:11:35
    ventilation system on to recirculate so
  • 00:11:37
    it doesn't blow in any nasty views cars
  • 00:11:42
    with full LED headlights could have just
  • 00:11:44
    the beam from the 84 individual LEDs 100
  • 00:11:48
    times a second so they don't dazzle
  • 00:11:50
    oncoming drivers the reversing camera
  • 00:11:55
    pops out when you need it and then when
  • 00:11:58
    you don't it goes away again and that
  • 00:12:00
    means that when you're driving along it
  • 00:12:02
    doesn't get covered in dirt the seat
  • 00:12:05
    cast has been approved by the European
  • 00:12:07
    Centre for allergy research because it's
  • 00:12:09
    pollen filters so good at filtering out
  • 00:12:10
    dust and pollen that you don't have to
  • 00:12:12
    worry about suffering allergies while
  • 00:12:14
    driving around in the car achoo now it's
  • 00:12:18
    time to talk about the engine choices
  • 00:12:19
    and bear with me so it's quite a lot 1.5
  • 00:12:22
    1.6 2-liter turbo petrol there's also
  • 00:12:26
    1.6 2-liter turbo Diesel's in the normal
  • 00:12:31
    cars you can also get performance
  • 00:12:32
    versions with the either a v6 petrol
  • 00:12:34
    engine or a v8 petrol engine of the
  • 00:12:37
    normal cars the best bet will be a
  • 00:12:39
    2-liter diesel C 220 D good blend of
  • 00:12:42
    performance and economy great for long
  • 00:12:44
    distance work you actually get a hybrid
  • 00:12:46
    as well a plug-in hybrid but it's not
  • 00:12:48
    one of the best plug-in hybrids on the
  • 00:12:49
    market unfortunately entry-level cars
  • 00:12:51
    come with a manual gearbox you know on
  • 00:12:52
    that you want your Mercedes with an auto
  • 00:12:54
    you can also get it with four-wheel
  • 00:12:56
    drive there that's not strictly
  • 00:12:57
    necessary to tell you the truth so this
  • 00:12:59
    particular car is AC 300 petrol AMG line
  • 00:13:03
    Premium Plus pack it should cost just
  • 00:13:06
    over 43,000 pounds with
  • 00:13:07
    how I discount it's just under 36 grand
  • 00:13:11
    so saving of almost seven and a half
  • 00:13:12
    grand so if you want to try our
  • 00:13:14
    configurator which I suggest you do you
  • 00:13:15
    can use it for any car click on the
  • 00:13:17
    pop-up banner up there or follow the
  • 00:13:19
    link below the video or so you can check
  • 00:13:20
    out the actual engine specs on the car
  • 00:13:22
    wire website it's well worth it and to
  • 00:13:25
    check out the best offers you can get
  • 00:13:26
    from a trusted dealers right it's time
  • 00:13:28
    to see what this cars like to drive so
  • 00:13:30
    I'm gonna start off with in town driving
  • 00:13:32
    and be Mercedes this car set up with
  • 00:13:34
    comfort in mind however it does do this
  • 00:13:37
    thing when you're over kind of slight
  • 00:13:38
    bumps or broken surfaces where it shim
  • 00:13:40
    is a little bit more than you imagined
  • 00:13:42
    it's not a soft or as cruzi
  • 00:13:45
    or something like the slightly larger
  • 00:13:47
    eClass in fact if you click on the
  • 00:13:49
    pop-up banner up there the top right
  • 00:13:50
    corner the screen you can watch my
  • 00:13:51
    in-depth video review of the e-class
  • 00:13:53
    that's important because the prices do
  • 00:13:55
    overlap so make sure you get the right
  • 00:13:57
    car for you it does have a soft feeling
  • 00:14:00
    to it though and like the controls are
  • 00:14:02
    light and that does make it easy to do
  • 00:14:04
    u-turns in fact the turning circle on
  • 00:14:07
    the c-class is pretty plumbing good so
  • 00:14:09
    if you need to go around a mini
  • 00:14:10
    roundabout no problems at all you're not
  • 00:14:11
    gonna have to do a three-point turn what
  • 00:14:14
    are the brakes they're quite assist it
  • 00:14:16
    so you have to touch them otherwise
  • 00:14:17
    you're gonna end up like a banker here
  • 00:14:20
    because it's a steering wheel so you
  • 00:14:21
    just press things lightly it's all very
  • 00:14:23
    easy all very relaxing all what you'd
  • 00:14:25
    expect from a Mercedes special shout out
  • 00:14:28
    to the gearbox this 9 speed automatic
  • 00:14:29
    gearbox is large it's almost like there
  • 00:14:32
    is no gearbox everything is just smooth
  • 00:14:34
    progress I like that about it there's
  • 00:14:37
    something else I like about this gearbox
  • 00:14:39
    which is unique to Mercedes so the
  • 00:14:42
    actual gear selector is on the column
  • 00:14:45
    which is brilliant when you're
  • 00:14:46
    maneuvering so there what I'm going to
  • 00:14:47
    reverse cuz I'm gonna Park the viewer at
  • 00:14:49
    the back isn't the best because you've
  • 00:14:51
    got those huge pillars now this car does
  • 00:14:52
    have a auto part function on it but I
  • 00:14:56
    never use them because well the time you
  • 00:14:57
    sit them up and got them running
  • 00:14:58
    someone's nicked a space especially in
  • 00:15:01
    London but the reversing camera does
  • 00:15:03
    help so do the sensors only it's super
  • 00:15:05
    close to that oh look at that probably
  • 00:15:07
    fit a Rizla paper
  • 00:15:09
    it's been bumpers they're nailed it the
  • 00:15:12
    way you can just flip like between Drive
  • 00:15:13
    and reverse so super easy then easy car
  • 00:15:16
    to park there in fact I think that's the
  • 00:15:18
    best of it apart to anything ever in my
  • 00:15:20
    life
  • 00:15:21
    and you witnessed it here good stuff
  • 00:15:24
    Mercedes when you get on the motorway
  • 00:15:27
    the c-class is slightly fidgety
  • 00:15:29
    suspension does improve a bit but it's
  • 00:15:30
    still not the most comfortable for
  • 00:15:33
    travelling long distance but it's it's
  • 00:15:34
    by no means bad and it's reasonably
  • 00:15:38
    relaxing apart from depending on the
  • 00:15:40
    surface you can get quite a bit of Tyre
  • 00:15:41
    noise and I see what this engine is like
  • 00:15:44
    so it's the 2-liter turbo with 258
  • 00:15:48
    horsepower I'm in comfort mode I'm gonna
  • 00:15:50
    floor it like I need to overtake see how
  • 00:15:52
    fast I can get to 70 gearbox Kicks down
  • 00:15:55
    pretty well already pulls pretty hard
  • 00:15:57
    there we go that's 17 it's it's quick
  • 00:16:00
    and it makes quite a sport you must be
  • 00:16:02
    sad it's surprising to have that noise
  • 00:16:04
    in a c-class because you think it should
  • 00:16:06
    be muted and quiet I don't mind it I
  • 00:16:08
    don't mind at all actually but it's a
  • 00:16:10
    bit surprising let's check out the
  • 00:16:12
    economy so yeah this is averaging that
  • 00:16:15
    much finely then let's see what the
  • 00:16:17
    c-class is like when you encounter some
  • 00:16:19
    twisty roads so I'm gonna put the kind
  • 00:16:21
    of dynamic Sport Plus mode there we go
  • 00:16:24
    and that sharpens at the throttle
  • 00:16:26
    response and adds a bit of weight to the
  • 00:16:28
    steering thanks to the gearbox shift
  • 00:16:31
    quicker as well so here we go now this
  • 00:16:33
    car is rear wheel drive which is the
  • 00:16:35
    setup that you have in sports cars so
  • 00:16:38
    let's see what happens
  • 00:16:40
    actually there's all right grips well
  • 00:16:41
    but now it's dying to like push wide the
  • 00:16:44
    steering feels slightly disconnected
  • 00:16:47
    it's a bit rubbery it can go round
  • 00:16:51
    corners alright but you do get a little
  • 00:16:53
    bit too much body lead it's not the
  • 00:16:55
    sportiest of sports saloons oh come on
  • 00:16:59
    oh yeah it's a bit got hurry your
  • 00:17:01
    granddad down the road let's not do that
  • 00:17:02
    let's back off it's better just waft
  • 00:17:04
    about with this thing I think it's
  • 00:17:07
    alright but I'd never describe it as fun
  • 00:17:09
    in any way shape or form so then what's
  • 00:17:18
    my final verdict on the Mercedes c-class
  • 00:17:20
    should you avoid it should you consider
  • 00:17:21
    it to the shortlist it or should you
  • 00:17:23
    just go right ahead and buy it well I
  • 00:17:26
    reckon you should consider the c-class
  • 00:17:29
    it is a posh family car but it's just
  • 00:17:32
    starting to show its age a little bit on
  • 00:17:34
    me than a that's a weird cliff I've just
  • 00:17:41
    accidentally given them oh you are going
  • 00:17:44
    to say take for you guys no internal
  • 00:17:52
    yeah what's it called that yeah
