New 2020 reviews: ru-vid.com/group/PLAgd55y0S6JulRs5Yp7VfnseP6oH9iGpI

Watched this video 8 yrs ago because it was my dream car & 2023 it's still pretty. My dream came true & it's still my daily driver.

This car still looks gorgeous, 6 years later

Some BMW fans seem to be upset by my verdict about the new C-Class, but think of this : It's the 3 Series that has undergone a complete change in character over the years, from a lightweight small sporty sedan to a much more comfort focused car that is almost as big as the E60 5 Series...Many people agreed with me on this when I reviewed the F30 in 2012 and while there's no doubt that its still a touch sportier than the C-Class, I find the new W205 more enjoyable and pleasent to drive on a day to day basis...And...Isn't that what these sedans are all about ???

2020 and the w205 still looks gorgeous

Wow what a great machine. Beautiful video my friend. Very professional indeed.

This is one of the best reviews of the W205 on the web and helped us in deciding to get it. C300 4Matic with AMG exterior and interior packages. Love this car!

Thank you for this video. I own a 2015 W205 C250 Bluetec and your fantastic review has reminded me why I love my car so much, thank you. )

Absolutely best in its class. No competitor at all.

Wow, a really really excellent review Guido! I had no idea the new C Class could be optioned so nicely inside! And I'm glad Mercedes has a good transmission in this car too. This review was so informational and entertaining to watch. Your reviews keep getting better and better Guido! Now I'm going to head over the the Mercedes website and build a new C-Class while I dream about being able to afford it, haha.

This is the best review of new C Class I have seen so far!

Benz c class 2015 is a real classic sedan. It's simply superb.........

Great review, very detailed and engaging. I ended up buying this car, it really is a classy car

Great review, the best one I have seen. You actually go through the specs properly unlike other people!

Great video. helped me to decide this was the car for me

One of the best reviewers !! Thanks and keep it up !

Great review. A unique balance of specs and honest opinion. Much appreciated sir.

Best review of the new C-Class, by far! Good job!

Thanks man! I got the exact same car because of your review! (but no air suspension)

Thank you very much for your advice and i will keep coming back for your next review ;)

TheGetawayer, first off, danke!!! Your reviews are some the best out there, the only person I can think of on RU-vid who shares aspects of the cars that others usually don't. Please keep making these awesome review videos! If you would not mind, would appreciate your advice. I currently own a 2010 C63, about to purchase my next car, and thinking of either a 2015 carrera 4s, lightly used 2014 turbo s, v10 r8, Nissan gtr. If the 991 gt3 were available, I think that would be the winner. Any and all feedback welcome, and thanks in advance!

i lost count on how much of amazing words already mentioned by you Guido and seriously..that shoulder pinch thou ;)

Really nice review well done.

Nice review! The new C-Class is a stunning car!

another great review, thx Guido :)

I find the review very precise, congrats! the new c-class is a superbe car and you managed to show that! I definitely subscribe to your channel!

I love your professional and quality-driven videos, Guido. I am very impressed with the new C-class from MB. The interior seems very well put together and materials are 1st rate. I am still partial to BMW 3 series exterior design, but MB did a fine job.

Thanks for a great review, Guido! Yes, this new C Class is exceptional in terms of driving dynamics, and interior layout. I just traded my 2012 C class for this, and I am just lovin' it. Mine is the C300 4Matic and the transmission is top notch, with seamless power on tap. The sweet spot is the sport mode, where you get a nice comfortable ride, and excellent throttle response. Looking forward to your next, great review!! Keep up the good work!!

Great review and great Car. Thank you!

Nice video pal, i was really disappointed with the interior of the previous model. It was so dull and boring, didn't feel like you were driving a Mercedes. But now it's perfect inside and out, with the colorful ambient lighting at night it looks stunning. Very nice video.

Got one coming end of October. Cant wait. Quality looks fabulous!!

This car is really beautiful, saw this on a car show and i was really surprised on how it looked personally.

Excellent review Guido. For the first time a C-Class looks and drives good. Mercedes is working really hard. In terms of design they just hit the right spot and in therms of driving pleasure their doing all the right things. I think that of the 3 german biggest companies (audi, bmw, mercedes) is the one that is improving more.

Hi Guido, I think ur videos are truly outstanding and frankly underrated. I would really REALLY like to see you review the Porsche 911 GT3 for like your hundredth video. Somethin special.... keep up the good work (great camera angles)

Thanks for a great and likable review! After seeing it about 12 times it convinced me of two things - To buy the car and to chose Diamond silver. C250 AMG Delivery in 3 weeks :) can´t wait!

Great review.. Awesome Car

The best W205 review. Thanks!!

You are definitely one of the small group of awesome car reviewers we have on YT. After Chris Harris videos got under lock (pay fr view) now I am only watching your reviews. Only you and Harris have to offer different approach to cars compared to others. I hope you will get S63 AMG on test soon.

Definitely my next car! C250 Petrol, Red Leather, Air-Suspension, AMG-Line trim and in Silver. I've always been an Audi man, but Mercedes have hit the ball out of the park with this design, I now covet the new C-Class. Thanks for a great review.

I am a huge fan of Mercedes Benz. And after having watched some of your earlier reviews, I was expecting you to have alot of negative points about this car. Alot of people will rate the BMW 3 series higher than the C class by default because BMW is always ahead in the sportyness department in their minds. But this new C class really is a huge step forward for Mercedes, and I think that it's absoulety a blast to drive.

What a great car this one seems to be (will test drive one by myself soon); I never have liked so much Mercedes-Benz (preferred BMW and Audi), but they seem to keep catching up in regards to emotional and sportier (and "affordable") cars. Great review btw!

Great review indeed

Loving this new generation of mercedes! Can't wait to see the new e class!

I like this review

i was torn bad betwen 328i and this all new C Class Avantgarde 2014. BUT the moment i got to this video..i know exactly what i want..Mercedes Benz tat is!

I am considering the new C300 and was considering passing on the air suspension, but after your review I think it is a must have option. Thanks

When Audis have looked the same for 10 years or so and BMW's 3 series have such a basic looking interior the Merc is way above them all this time and about time too. well done Mercedes

Great video Guido, I've been looking to learn more about the new C-Class and this video answered all my questions and then some! That interior is really something. Are you going to do an F8X M3/M4 review? If you do, and you get a manual transmission, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the auto rev-matching feature.

This new C-class blew me away. I didn't care for it initially because Mercedes didn't launch the car in the US with too much fanfare. The CLA gets more attention, and I wrote off the W205 as just a CLA. I had a huge misconception of the C-class, and all I can say is don't knock it till you try it. I really agree with this video review. The screen placement is awkward but the airmatic suspension is a must-have.

Great review, as always, Getawayer! The only this I wish was that you would have spent time specifically on the Sport+ mode, but you may have felt it was similar to the Sport. I was thinking about getting the C400 here in the U.S., but they announced a new C450 AMG model that will be coming in September, so I will probably go with that one.

Good review. I'm looking forward to the AMG version. I just hope it comes with a more aggressive looks with bigger tires and fender flares. The previous C63 was not aggressive looking as the M cars.

I did see your review on the 507, it's a beast! I was just hoping the new cars comes with bigger fender flares and larger rear tires. I hope you can review the M4/M3 soon.

Awesome

Thanks for the fantastic review, Guido!! Over here in the United States, I have owned Japanese cars my entire life….and swore that I would never own anything else. I love my Lexus, but the new C from MB looks to be an AMAZING car…..and I'm going to take one for a test drive next week. I keep building a new one on the Mercedes website and drooling over it!! =) Having a detailed and thoughtful review like this, makes it a little easier to make a decision on such a big purchase, and I'm sure driving it in person will help also! Do you know the name of the track/song you used at the beginning of your video? I'd like to find it. Thanks again!

Would be great to see you review the new corvette c7 ...Great Review btw Cheers

Klasse Video und was für eine Ausstattung, wow ! Aber wie Du es unten bereits geschrieben hast, 71,000 für eine C-Klasse ... Ist halt schon heftig :)

Sieht zwar aus wie ne kleine S-Klasse, aber das ziemlich gut! Bin mal auf den AMG gespannt :P

Great review! I have a very similar one, actually the only difference is that mine has black leather seats that are also cooled. I have already done 15 000 km. :D P.S. The sound system is really good, but the 24-speakers from the S class sounds better. :D

Late to this review but great insight. Mercedes has always been a hallmark of luxury but not really style or driver engaging feedback. That C300 is definitely both hardcore. The W205 will definitely be a sought after look for years to come.

Well built cars come on a regular basis. Informative, factual, and systematic reviews do not. I have only recently joined your channel and I commend you on a job well done. Mercedes is obviously trying in this segment to appeal to the sub 40 clients that have a twitch in their right foot and still need to drive to work everyday at 8:00. And I think you brought that message across. Well done and keep up the good work.

Nice Review again Guido! :) I'm not sure if I agree on everything, but you certainly are right when you say that this is the best car in its segment at this moment. Especially the interior looks very nice. I'm looking forward to drive a 6-cylinder, 4-matic (hopefully diesel) version of the T-modell if and when that comes available. It may even be a replacement candidate for my A6 Avant next year... And as you know, that's not something I would easily say about a Mercedes. I'm curious what Audi will come up with though. The current A4 has become too dated to be a serious opponent for BMW and Mercedes.

being in the UK Right hand drive would make the touch pad difficult for most people to use with the left hand

good review, and a beautiful machine in relation to C63 AMG edition 507 2013/14 which is best? you will review of the Audi A7 2014?

Just listen to that door slam, a nice solid, 'whump'. Call it nitpicky but that sort of thing is important to me in a car.

My cousin got a 2015 version yesterday so beautiful 😍👌

Ist das Leder in deinem Video das Cranberry Red ? Hatte es mir deutlich greller vorgestellt, aber so sieht es echt schick aus. Ich vermisse bei den "normalen" (nicht designo) Optionen ein wenig eine schöne sattelbraune Lederfarbe

exceptional review. thankyou.

Hey guido. I was thinking since you didn't like the gt86 so much but what about one with suspention upgrades and a supercharger. If you come back to America sometime I'm near Orlando Florida.

We've ordered a C Class 250d AMG line estate with premium plus pack. It's due for September 18th delivery. After reading reviews for months and test driving the C Class & 3 series 335d Xdrive. I adored the drive of the BMW but the styling of the C Class it beautiful. I know the 3 series it much much quicker car but honestly, how many of us drive that quick every day? Once the novilty of the speed wore off I'd miss the styling and the toys of the C Class. I'll post again as soon as it's delivered. I'm sure we've made the right choice. Only could afford 1 option. The 360 degree camera. (£335.00) Colour is Brillant Blue met paint. Anthony.

do these still have timing chain problems as in the model before?

hi there have u done a review on the c w204 ?????'

That car is seriously beautiful. And I am seriously jealous! Yup, this will be my first Mercedes. Is this the European model? What about it isdifferent from Canadian model?

BEST CAR EVER

Waiting for the plug in version to come on sale

why does the media screen have such a thick border? they could have made it smaller but extend the image to the edges.

does anyone know if a diesel or petrol engine is better for a city with lots of traffic jams?

Well... I just watched and I drove the new C Class recently at Estoril Race Track, done two laps with it and I as amazed with the handling...the car I drove had the AMG Package and the braking was so, so good...sadly it was just two laps and right when I was getting used to the chassis I had to park the car at the Paddock... lol Sadly my car didn't have the Burmeister Sound and the Airmatic suspension...oh...and it was a 177hp C 220 CDI. Right after I drove the C Class I said to my self...screw the F30 3 Series... lol And I drove that one as well...having said that, I'd choose the C Class in a heartbeat, that interior, my oh my....

Über das Getriebe habe ich eigentlich bisher kaum etwas Positives gehört, immer hieß es dass die 8-Gang-Automatik von ZF in den BMW's wäre deutlich besser. Wirst du auch mal die E-Klasse mit der neuen 9-Gang-Automatik fahren? Klasse Video, wie immer :)

What color is that car? Is it the diamond silver metallic? It looks almost blue.

Any idea on when you might be able to review the W205 C63? Hopefully soon since I'd love to see a review before my Edition 1 C63S arrives.

Wow. Really made me want it. I still can't choose between e250-2011 or c250-2014. Any suggestions

Nice review! Could you please tell me more abou C250 engine? Is it good? Thinking about it, impossible to test, diesel everywhere :) How is flexible acceleration? What color you have for test? Is it Palladium? Thanks

Someone can say me what is the colour name of this mercedes?

why is their a key in the ignition? doesn't this have push button start????

Review the cls63 amg please!

Guido~~The horizontal piece on the instrumental panel that looks like aluminum is cheap plastic on vehicles offered in the USA! Is it different on German models?

Can you still expect a good ride quality without airmatic suspension? I am thinking to only apply amg package without airmatic...

Despite being a BMW fanboy, though I'm a fan of different marques too, I'd have to agree with your view on the C class being the class leader. As soon as I read the specifications in Wheels magazine before the release date I knew this would be the best car in its class. The build quality is stunning. Only criticisms for me are that the screen detracts from the aesthetic appeal of the interior as does the centre console touchpad, which is made redundant by the circular toggle switch. This would not stop me from buying one if I 1. had the means:) and 2 had a family, as the engineering is brilliant.

is there a hybrid review?

If you dont mind, could you tell me about a wind noise km limit or did you decide any problem cabin noise ratio? Thanks..

Did you have airmatic on car you have been testing? You are talking about automatically adjusting dampers, so its not Airmatic? Thanks

I really hate that new gear shift on the c class. That dainty little lever is really annoying to get used to.

At 5:36 you mention a 'falling front axle' - what's that please?

I hate myself for not waiting for this car. I got the Infiniti Q50. A very good car as well with lots of power and technology, but this car just captures my heart. But, I still need to test drive this car though to see how it compares, and if it drives as awesome as it looks, then I am in trouble ;-)

@TheGetawayer totally agree with you. I'm driving a bmw btw

I own one and I'm addicted to this car and that Burmester kick-ass sound system! :D You can see my movies and acceleration tests 0-100-0km/h. BTW My wife likes that center screen isn't driver oriented so there is a reason why Mercedes decided to put it in neutral stance.

Can I just thank you for probably the most practical review of the W205 C Class... I have struggled to find straightforward review of the chassis and suspension.... we have just ordered a 2016 C200 with AMG and lots of extras but we just could not decide on the suspension... we are in Dubai and had the dealer usually fitting the sports suspension, 19" wheels & AMG kit.... but I am pulled between the Agility with damper control or the Airmatic ???? Do you have any thoughts ?..... I also spotted in your review you had the digital speedo showing in the small centre screen right in front of the driver in large digits ..... in the demo car we had we just could not find how to do it .... I would be really grateful for your guidance.... but again thanks for a really well done review :-) All the best Darren

Plz anybody tell me Which color is that???

Beautiful car but i don't know why i just prefer the dashboard and screen of the old C-class. Other than that, everything looks real good in this car, can't wait to see how the AMG does

I'm getting a new car Soon but I can't make up my mind. Right now it's between a cla 45 amg or a c300 what would you recomend? Thanks
