You can’t discuss the ABCs of performance driving without AMG. The Mercedes AMG C 43 4MATIC is the kind of car drivers wake up early for to get curvy country roads all to themselves. Available as a sedan and convertible, Tom Voelk takes the two-door coupe out to the rural roads of Washington State. The suspension and price tag are pretty stiff, but the C 43 is wicked fun.

I actually like the "non-touchable" screen in my 2023 C43 coupe. No moving my gaze from driving. I just got good at using the center controller and steering wheel controls. And no smugged up screen.

Thanks for the review! I have the 2018 c43 and love it 👍 as for subs, totally hear you on that. I have a career mentoring channel for recent grads and adults looking for a change and there are always production issues behind the scenes and my videos are no where as complicated as yours! Love your videos - it’s got that old school vibe with a very modern touch. Great balance!

@93455Driver 3 года назад

I just test drove a CPO C43, very impressed. A lot of hate for the fake AMG badge, but this is plenty of power and the steering was very good. The Sport+ mode was a huge change in noise and engine response. Finding a use one with the options you want is difficult, but I think the AMG Performance is a must have. Thanks for the great review, especially the handling comments, sorry about the drone!

@buickboy92 5 лет назад

C student? Tom, You're A+ to me! Appreciate the work you and your crew put in. 👍

@davidwolf226 5 лет назад

All of your efforts do NOT go unappreciated, Tom and crew! The AMG series in any Mercedes would, just for myself, be an occasional use vehicle (i.e. weekender). For my daily driving, I prefer a vehicle that is quiet and compliant with the various road surfaces and tire options. I really love the interior of this particular AMG!

@rightlanehog3151 5 лет назад

Definitely OMG. I am glad you mentioned the lack of a manual option. It still seems unusual to accept performance cars without them.

@venom5809 5 лет назад

You could always close the trunks on powered trunks of Mercedes, at least the S-Classes as far back as 2001. I remember way back when I had my first S-Class I opened the powered trunk with the switch inside for someone outside and wondered if it would close it, if I pushed the rocker the other direction and it did, always a cool party trick.

@stephenmoody1506 5 лет назад

A performance variant that's a viable daily driver (four comfortable seats, etc.) is my sweet spot (I like the size much better than the E, or Tesla S) and I have thought this coupe or the C43 Sedan might have been just the one. Unfortunately I livie in an apartment so can't charge my electric at home.I drive a performance variant BMW 3 series from the good old days (2004) which I'm looking to replace with something roomier than my Porsche C4S. Would have wanted to know how this sweet car would have been as a daily driver: visibility? too firm a suspension? sounds like the sport exhaust is unnecessary but good that it is optional; is it as quiet as a C without the sport exhaust? P.S. Love Tom Voelk's reviews. The most sober and in a class with only one other great journalist, Dan Neil.

@darrell9616 4 года назад

There was a big omission from this review. Given that this is a refresh, some compare/contrast from the previous model would have been extremely useful. Some people passed on the previous models due to the ride. Supposedly the ride was improved (among other things). However, none of that was mentioned. Overall, an OK review that could have been much better.

@ahemgee9542 5 лет назад

I think you Americans are really used to jelly soft rides. Comfort mode with the 19" run flats ( P Zeros) is comfortable for me, but too floaty for fast driving. Sport is still comfortable but has well controlled damping, Sport + is obviously firmer but still on the soft side for a sports car. An E63 W213 or M4 for example are much much firmer. Overall a good review though and nicely made. I have a 19' Wagon with Eurocharged Map, it flies - 0-60 in 3.6 .
