2019 Mercedes AMG C43 Reviewed + 0-60 and exhaust note 

LeadBlastin22 Which Company, or What type of “ TUNE” did you USE, & WHY?? (Comparison) I’m interested in tuning my c43 soon. Thanks in advance.

@@CSink90 I'm not sure where you live, but I got my tune done at BrenTuning in MA. He works on everything from Subarus to Lambos.. People drive and trailer their cars from as far as Florida, Cleveland, Toronto and Texas to get him to work on their cars. He normally has a huge waiting list too. I'm a friend of the owner (got a discount and didn't need to wait 3 months) as I have been taking my cars to him for work for as far back and 2003 when he was working out of a small garage. Now he has a huge operation. Him and his Mercedes tuner are flatout magicians... I was quoted almost $5k from another place in Boston area for Renntech tune and they don't even do their own work! They wanted to mail my ECU out for 2 weeks! And the power boost was about half of what Brennan did, and it was the first time he even seen the new 2019 C43 engine setup. He took my car for 3 days, and worked on it and tested it until it was perfect.

Who tuned it

@@saintdaboy5 I would like to know this as well.

genesis g70 with plugs and air filters.

V. Global How much do you spend on maintenance per month?

@@jsjames7661 Got it all covered over the lease. So nothing so far. Gas milage is around 350€ a month driving around 2k+ km.

What income is needed to afford it?

@@MadhavanDawg It's a company car and am a student 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’m looking at possibly getting this car. Are there any major problems or issues you’ve experienced?

How much you paid for tuning

Jason McConnell GLC43 AMG suv tuned by Eurocharge 482hp 527 torque. My 0 to 60 3.4 seconds and quarter in 11.5 seconds.

My pro tuned 2019 brought me up to 450Hp and 540TQ to the wheels, only mod is 2 KnN filters.. Running 12s flat in the 1/4 mile with full tank of gas and baby seats and shit in the trunk lol... RENN Tech tunes are a rip off... Average results for 5x the price

@Ramses Herrera Habsburg LMAO, RaceChip is a fraud

@@topo520 I find it really hard to believe you are running an 11.5 in the 1/4. My tuned C43 is nearly seeing the same numbers to the wheels, weighs a lot less and im running 12s flat in the 1/4 mile. Where did you come up with 11.5s? With some in car electronics that give laughably accurate results? Mine comes from a time slip at an actual drag strip

My understanding (I own a 2020 coupe and my parents have a c43 estate) and they don’t have the particulate filters! They have a stop limiter though when you’re sitting in park and trying to rev the engine

yea i t was proven as false. fake info

Looking at getting one, have you had any serious issues or problems with it? I keep hearing terrible things about MB reliability

@@kennyashman7927 Funny you ask. I put a stage 2 tune on mine at 7k miles and it's currently sitting in my garage blown up at 30k miles. I will have to replace the engine out of pocket because when you tune you void the drivetrain warranty. IF you get one... leave it stock...

@@IhateRU-vid Man that sucks. Blown motors are no fun, especially at out of pocket expense. I probably would leave it stock. This is good info, thank you.

@@kennyashman7927 you're welcome

A K you paid it off already? You traded it in right?

Yeah I did trade it. Suspension is too harsh for everyday driving for me at least.

A K you took a hit on depreciation. I have the GLC43 AMG SUV. It’s awesome with the air suspension.

Yeah I mean I know what I was getting into. I also find the interior quality is a bit cheap.

We do have to add taxes here in the US and those can vary widely depending on your state of residence. It’s nowhere near 20%. Closer to 10%.

Yup!

هلا بإبن بلدي

Nope

M2 with a manual. If auto-only-options I’d take the C43… maybe.

@@drivingsports Thanks for the answer

Just asking WTH was coming through the speaker. Clearly it doesn’t need fake sound.

it has a rev limter was it didnt!

Hell no but I wish

You can buy a C300 all day for that money :)

Agreed

That’s a big stretch, it’s worth ~53k

Now it’s worth 27!

What *exactly* about it feels "cheap" ?

Take a test drive and find out yourself

@@Warrior11117 Well I custom ordered one 2+ years and 30 thousand miles ago and I don't agree. So please enlighten me?

Exactly, that’s why I told you to go to and take a test drive. If you don’t agree, then you don’t agree. You don’t want to be enlightened.

@@Warrior11117 No I want you to expand on your opinion and go into detail about what specifically "feels cheap" I'm not sure why you are being so evasive.

and your mustang GT coupe looks like s.......t

Paul M the c class is Mercedes best selling model...hardly irrelevant. The mustang is also a muscle car the c43 is a performance luxury car. Not an apples to apples comparison.

Paul M also car and driver test drive both the gt350 and the c43 coupe and both had the same 0-60 speed of 4.1 seconds. Not that c&d is the be all end all but the mustang is hardly “destroying” the c43. There is no doubt the mustang is the better selling car, but that is more indicative of the lower price point options for the mustang and doesn’t necessarily reflect that it’s a better car. For example the Toyota Corolla is the best selling car in the world by about 10 fold over the mustang. But I rather have the mustang. The Corolla may be more reliable than the mustang but no where near as cool or fun to drive.

@@przemyslawfras5622 The mustang eats dust on the track compared to this. Also, you can't compare your Ford Focus Interieur to this. Not speaking of Infotainment

@@Megaatron1 i got one too and i loved .. only one thing bother me so much ..... fake exhaust tips ..

lmfao at least it doesn't look like an alien predator like lexus cars do

@@HoodrichShinobi lexus looks much better

@@davidwade7681 it looks like the predator. Which is a disgusting alien.

@@HoodrichShinobi an still looks better then the mercedes

@@davidwade7681 and* than* Lexus is for the short bus riders. But the short bus was still a more attractive design than an ugly giant predator grilled Lexus. 🤣🤣

Take the runflats off and replace them with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S's. Had mine on for a year now, not a single puncture or wheel issue.

@@nib95, are they still low profile tires?

For 800 bucks I got a 5 year wheel and tire free replacement from the dealer....unlimited.

its as reliable as a c300 4match, easy on maintenance and wallet
