2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 is a Balance of Luxury and Speed 

Congrats on the car and thank you for the comment!

Disagree. MBUX is easily the best infotainment in the car industry even without the scroll wheel. :)

MBUX Is better than the rest. Even Doug Demuro recommends that infotainment system the most.

YAY you will reach it :D good luck!!! Btw I subscribe to TheStraightPipes.

You guys are so close. Also, about this engine, don't most 6 cylinder Mercedes have the inline 6 and not a V6?

You already did r34 and r35 video. Hope u deliver on "WILL BE THE BEST " part 👍🏻😁😁. Ps. 1 mill is good foundation, U guys deserve more way more.!!!!

You guys rock and knock it out every time great job as for the review it’s not bad I love the interior the infotainment definitely needs work but the seats are like a lounger lol and love the crackle and pops !!! I was hoping you guys would have gotten to a million for Canada day but still awesome

I’m curious as to how your review works like how many days you guys get the vehicles for specially with the crazy times goin on and how you guys split it up who gets it for how many days ??? Happy Canada day guys you will get a million soon I know it !!

Yeah I love taking my race couch to the track sometimes for a spin.

Great? More like perfect lol

All mercedes have a comfy ride

💩

I've always been more of a mid to late morning dumper, myself.

@@botis3104 why not both 😂

Next should be "Will It Rally" like Team O'Neil Rally School

It's all wheel drive.. not sure why they eve bothered

@@nunayobiznass awd cars can do donuts tho, this car’s systems are just too intrusive to let the driver do his thing

1 step at a time. Need that 1 mill ❤️

@@TheStraightPipes i am sure you guys will get there one day 😜

agree though there is only one 'but' namely Autobahn driving w/o speed limits......

Other brands manage to have launch control with torque converters. They don't launch as hard but they definitely still have launch control

@@TheStraightPipes Is it possible they're attempting to protect their converter? I doubt they're sandbagging or something.

TheStraightPipes or maybe the power isn’t that high to create wheel spin or lose traction. So there is no point to have launch control. Normal launch with break torque would have similar effect

The power isn't even a launch control.

Left foot brake for half a second as you ease into throttle. Manual launch control!

That parametric grill is where it’s at. Love the AMG43, such a fantastic car, having driven both, what surprised me the most was how different the AMG43 steering felt. I loved it. It feels so fantastic. Love the M40i as well. For some reason the AMG43 felt faster just driving around. No idea why as they are so close in 0 to 60. But I’d happily own either vehicle. You still enjoying it? A bet you are happy you got that before the redesign when they make the AMG43 a 4 banger with an electric motor. Shoot me now. Also the GLC43 has the best sounding exhaust of any compact SUV today..everyone else’s got so quiet.

@@TheLumberJacked I don't think the GLC43 is necessary faster because on paper, it isn't. But the GLC is more wagon-like with a slightly lower center of gravity and stiffer suspension than the M40i. So you can definitely feel that. Yes, still enjoying the GLC43. But in February I realized that this might be my last chance to buy a new ICE powered M-Car so I placed an order for a 2023 X3M and picked it up 2 months ago. Replaced the M40i so enjoying the X3M as well. 😄

I agree with you. Test drove one of these beauties and the controls on the steering wheel works too!

You should check out Savage Geese they usually go more in depth on things like that 👍🏾

My old 2015 Mercedes with the adaptive headlight worked awesome so there’s no doubt this will work fine

2012 E350. They work great. No issues with the lights dipping at appropriate times. Set and forget.

Yes it doesnt look bad, but giving the entry level amg cars the same grille and almost same overall front as the 63AMGs takes away of how special the 63s are.

It kinda reminds me of an audi tbh

@@timonxDlol Yea they definitely should make a different grill for each AMG trim or at least a for the 63/63S, the non-AMG C-class had 3 different grilles available in the same year at one point so they are open to the idea already.

Remember when Mercedes was the ugly one in the early 2000s? Now it’s reversed and BMW is the ugly one

They are great

The sweet spot of the GLC series.

@@litespeed65 yep

subscribed since the element review :P

Learn how to spell

I wish we could say the same about their new sedans....

Ammar Okla ikr😔

And they are killing there cars unfortunately.

The E53 Coupe is very nice indeed.

Awesome

We already did 2 years ago. It already won collab of the year. Check out our 4motion winter driving video at 2:12

@@TheStraightPipes I hope you do it once again someday because you and the Throttle House are the best in North America.

Throttle house vs the straight pipes Race to 1M subs

🔥🔥🔥

Software vs hardware. Any update?

Hey, that’s great to hear You are loving it. How is the AWD system on this? Is it as good as they say? Seems to me a rear biased AWD system is THE way to go for winter driving even if you aren’t hooning it. Let me know and thanks for posting this, it’s helping us with our decision to buy a lightly used one.

We all did it together (soon...)

@@TheStraightPipes When you reach 1M review a 1M

A Balakrishnan that’s actually genius

@@abalakrishnan4152 you mean the best sports car you ever need for road?

@@autumnleaf2976 Yes. It is probably the best sports car.

Well said! Mercedes says it’s an AMG, so I’ll personally take their word for it.

If Mercedes says it’s a amg it’s a amg 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Patreon and RU-vid members

Just get a X3M 👍😉

I think time machines are more plausible 🤔

Ikr!

Hello time traveler, kindly teach me your ways

@@marcusgarvey8388 Patreon and RU-vid members get early access.

I thought so too. Why compare it to a car thats $20000-$25000 more. The GLC 43 is perfect in it own right. Such a great car - we get it... its not a 63. You know why? Because its not.

@@Hiphop0873 My 43 is perfect. I don't want the 63 gas or insurance bills.

@@mwdallas1 Have my 43 since February and love it. Plenty of power and get up. Handling is superb.

Hows the reliability

Congratulations sir, ain't no hater in me!!!!

It is very much not

Iv had 3 real amg’s this is not

For the value absolutely terrible

@@davidlegkodukh6969 Very good lol. Maybe you’re just from a heavily taxed country

Thanks for your comment!!

Not funny, Chevy ass

Top left I think correct?

I think that's a fair assessment.

I agree. If only the engine made the AMG then they would all be fast but terrible handling cars. AMG is in the details and the changes they make to all sorts of stuff on the car is what makes it *chefs kiss*.

❤️🇨🇦

What is Canada day?

Change s dunno actually prob cuz I’m English

Change s It’s Canada’s version of Independence Day. It’s the day we became a country. (July 1st 1867)

We do that sometimes

What did you end up going with? And how do you like it I'm considering getting one of these

@@matthewgateoperators2406 still have the glc43. And I still love it. For the summers I picked up a c43 cabriolet. unfortunately it is not optioned the way I wanted but it is still the v6 and overall a great ride. I’m glad I stayed with the more comfortable AMG’s.

@@JamesBon10 yes we just had a baby so I have to lean on the side of comfort thank you for the feedback

@@matthewgateoperators2406 sure thing. good luck with the baby 😀

They're already breaking down??

@@wmahmoo No, getting them ready for delivery

@@LMO169 But they are so slow why not get an X3M instead?

@@davidlegkodukh6969 1. It's not my decision what car a customer buys. 2. X3M is a totally different class of car. M40i goes in the right direction. 3. If you like Mercedes, you won't buy a BMW 4. When you're happy with 390hp, good. Otherwise there are 63 and 63S, too

The Macan S would be a way more fun to drive than this for sure.

The macan is also very nice, but I think they are both really good. But I dislike the GLB it just doesnt look nice and has the a class interior the GLC is a whole lot better on the inside. But you also see that in the price difference.

I’d get a GLC over an macan

@@yes8032 you are not alone m8

Macan S will be way more then 60k because Porsche have so many options.

Hey, so when you do the unofficial launch control on this vehicle. Does it act like a proper launch control? Or is it just brutally hard on the trans because it’s not a real unofficial official launch control? That’s as a confusing question, but I guess I want to know if it really does work good and if I’m just killing my trans.

The engine is not handbuilt.

@@hugolafhugolaflol. I love this. Yet how many house tuners do special editions for ford and chev and other brands and it becomes super special because they strapped a super charger on it. Those engines weren’t hand built and the ZO6 engine isn’t hand built…and most very desirable performance cars don’t have hand built engines and everyone gets all horny about those ones. But for the AMG43…nah..not hand built. It’s not real. What’s funny is the engine is only a part of it, look what AMG does to all of the other parts, same things as they do for the AMG63. But the 43 isn’t special enough…so it’s not real. Lol. It’s an engine…AMG is really at its core about the everything else they do to them to make them monsters. If an AMG designation started and stopped with hand built engine, they would be fast but really crappy handling vehicles. So in all the ways that actually matter..it’s an AMG…and whether someone put their hands on the engine or not, it’s a DOPE performance engine and makes it go like a bat out of hell. People are just crazy now a days…people who don’t even own performance cars are like, “Yawn…its not an AMG63…meh”. I’d be happy with this AMG43…so very happy.

@@TheLumberJacked I was only answering his question as to why is this not considered real AMG. I don’t really care for what constitutes a « real » this or that, but Mercedes themselves seem to make it conditional to the engine being hand-built. I, for one, don’t care, and if they called it a GLC450 or whatever, I’d still want it, as it is my next vehicle anyway, in 2024. It is a great balance of performance and luxury. Sure, the 63S is crazy, but I don’t need a supercar engine, 285 (or is it 295 wide) rear tires, a race mode, and supercar-esque insurance premiums on what is a daily driver in a country where it’s winter 5 months a year. The GLK250 is awesome and hopefully, so will the the GLC43.

only downside is the shit build quality, they rattle hard

It’s out already if I’m not mistaken

@@gregbach5 I think they stopped offering it in North America after 2018 or 2019. And we can't even get an A35 Hatch in the US.

Zero. I have this car and could care less about launch control.

They're not right. Have you actually used this? This works very differently. Both Carwow and Doug Demuro says its the best system in the industry. If you use it yourself, you'll see how easy it is to use. Most people find this easier but these guys are too used to the rotary wheel. They did not mess up. They're just moving forward. It isn't touch pad only. It also has touch screen plus the one on the steering wheel. Lexus system is actual trash because there's no haptic feedback and the interface design is poor meaning it doesn't work well with a touch pad. This is different.

@@SDav21 My dad had the pre facelift and now has the facelift and I easily drove a couple thousand km with the old one and a couple hundred with the new one. You never hit the button you want with the trackpad and the controls on the steering wheel don't work that good aswell. Sometimes they respond and sometimes they don't, you'll never know :/

@@SDav21 Although I have to say that the voice controls work really well most of the time.

@@felix2402 The system itself is much more intuitive. It take multiple steps to enter a navigation destination in the old and multiple scrolls and clicks of the rotary control. You can do the same on the new system in seconds. These guys are talking like the system itself is unintuitive when they just don't like the method of input. I want to see them do a race as to how long it takes to input a station number on the new vs old. Same for a navigation destination. Same for any particular vehicle setting. This is where the new system is better. It's why they changed it.

I agree, just because the engine isn’t hand made doesn’t mean everything else they did wasn’t through and through AMG. It has monster brakes and the trans tune is amazing and the suspension is phenomenal. It literally does all of the things. That said, I agree that if “hand built” is more real than real AMG, this isn’t then…But every other time a company takes an existing car and tunes it, replaces parts, modifies it etc etc etc and makes it better, it gets called “special” and “performance” and every one ohhhs and ahhhhs…well that’s at AMG did to this…they did everything and even more than companies like Rousch racing does to mustangs or “name tuning house here”, then everyone gets hot and bothered…but in this case…people are like, “yeah, it’s not a real AMG” pffft and move on. We have lost touch with reality or people have spent zero time in them to be able to be dismissive of them IMHO. Sigh.

I’m about to pick one up and it’s riding on those tires too. 😊

Ok tard

I have the SQ5 from 2016 and I love it's interior. I was shopping between that and the GLA45, the merc was disappointing compared to the SQ5.

Big Woofer I currently have an S5 Sportback almost purely because the colour selection on the SQ5 is bad. My S5 is in the Misano Red Pearl

@@CloakAndDaggerPC I have the moonlight blue metallic colour. It's dark blue and I love it. Also Changed my grill to the RS one 😁. Love this car

Big Woofer opposite for me. I test drove the new SQ5 today and bought the amg Glc 43 after driving it.
