2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG C43 Review: Better Than The S5 and M440i? 

What's your guys pick of the bunch??

At 00:16 yup that's why I got my C43 over a 340i or S5. Too bad the one in this vid doesn't have the digital cluster, that really makes the interior more modern. Also, if you hold a paddle and then start the car up, it will do some cracks and pops, this is the loudest you can get the exhaust to due to the limiter when stopped. If you want the fastest 0-60mph time, you need to have the engine in Dynamic, traction control completely off (not just Sport traction), suspension in Comfort, brake boost to around 1900rpm and let go. The stupid Sport+ mode unfortunately does not yield the fastest 0-60 time. It sets engine to Dynamic (which is good), but it sets traction to Sport which is not completely off and will cut off power sometimes and prevent brake boosting, it sets suspension to Sport+ which introduces the artificial hard shift which FEELS nice but actually slows the car down a bit. Good thing there is an Individual mode where I can set what I've said up there but I never use Sport+ mode when I want to go fast. Also, yes, leave it in automatic mode lol. Manual mode is what you want when you want control on the tracks or around twisty back roads to stay in the correct gear, but that's about all it's good for. I actually think a Veloster N or a Civic Type R will offer more sporty driving if you're more on the hardcore enthusiast side. At least those cars are cheaper, but they're definitely not luxury.

If it wasn’t an AMG they wouldn’t have put an AMG badge on it LOL. Being an AMG car has more to do than having a motor built by 1 person. Would you say the new AMG ONE isn’t a real AMG? That vehicles engine isn’t built by 1 person. Things that make you go hmmm. 🤔

Would you say a 2019-2021 Mercedes c43 amg is better than a 2018-2021 440i gram coupe or a 2018 340i?

C43 i don’t think you knew how to use the paddles lol

Just gotta say, as always, you are a natural at reviewing and just talking to us about these automobiles. You are smooth, nuanced and just gifted at speaking and conveying your message. Your experience with cars is evident and you analyze them so well. Thanks for the time you spend teaching us about the intricacies of these German coupes & sedans ! None of this is taken for granted by me.

I have a 2020 sedan. I just got it a month ago. Luv everything but the ride is very bad. If i switch to michelin ps4's instead of runflat will it help? Thank you

love the car but whats up with the shrek shirt

Word of the day! **Undulations** I love that word for some reason. Who else heard Reo? I wrote my comment before the part where undulations was said. And I wrote that Reo is nuanced in his analysis and that word just nailed it down again! You are the best man!

Great video. Trying to get a c43 sedan and this was super informative

Doing my research binge watching all the m340i and c43 videos I can find to figure out which one interests me the most to go out and buy, and the thing that stands out the most apart from how the c43 sounds way better, is that everyone gets this uncontrollable smile on their face when driving the 340i that just isn’t there with the c43

Why does the car bog like that ? Was that in manual mode ? I haven’t seen other videos where it does that

All the C43 needs is the night package with some amg black rims and boom 💥

I like real gauges like your instead of all digital. Makes it look more retro.

Was this filmed in palos verdes? I recognize the area lol

Dope ass review

So when you leave it auotmatic can you still use the paddles at all? Or do you just totally leave them alone in automatic.

Bro its an AMG. just cause it dont got a hand built motor dont mean its not an AMG. Like saying a m340i isnt a real m cause it has more numbers at the end

Great review!

my he glosses over AMG ride control >>>>>

It doesn’t matter which cars are potentially better than the c-class AMG. It’s the c-class AMG and that’s all that matters

The bmw is not in the same class as a amg … don’t try to make us laugh

Good vid

I care about looks and I just really like beamerssss

Dude. Stop waving your hands around constantly. The eye is drawn to that motion in the video and is annoying AF. But I did want to watch the content, so I stuck my hand up to block your hands constantly flying around.

Great car great review, still like the look of the m440i better 👍
