Is the 2023 Mercedes Benz C300 a BETTER new luxury sedan than a BMW 330i? 

54,000 dollars should cover at least one usb port for back seats.

I think the rear cup holder needs to be pressed twice to access the cup holder

Best car reviewer. Detailed, knows how to transition from negatives to positives, and hilarious 😂

I own this in Lunar Blue, bought it in December. It FAR outpaces the BMW 3 series and Audi in presence and luxury feel. I look for a comfortable ride as I commute 60 miles a day on avg, and compared to my family's GLC and my prior CLA, this is the best ride and easiest commute with the driver assist package

Great color.....it's hard to find a nice blue. I actually think it looks great with a parchment leather, too. I've never been a huge Mercedes fan but I'm certain this is the best looking C-Class ever. Plus, the fuel economy is pretty impressive for the performance

My wife got hers last week❤ You should DEFINITELY film a night/dusk drive video with with this car. The ambient lighting is UNREAL!! The sales guy actually asked us to show up at dusk for the test drive just so we could witness the lighting. The ambient lighting alone will make you want to buy this car!! No Black, White or Silver color Joe... She went with the Patagonia Red & is loving it. GREAT VID as always!👍🏽👍🏽

Man I was looking for some new reviews on the C300 and CLA this morning but couldn't find what I'm looking for and bam! You brought us this one! Thank you Raiti, you're always my top favorite car review channel!

Zonks aside, Mercedes cars look sooooo good in blue, especially in dark blue. That colour just POPS!!

Steven is truly a brave heart. He didn't flinched a bit when Joe spinning the car right onto him everytime head-on. Lol.😂 (What's happened @14:43 !? 🤣)

Oh man! Your zonks on the exhaust is soooooo correct! Plus, they look WAY TOO LARGE for a vehicle of this size.

Nice review. I bought a 2022 C300 4Matic almost 3 months ago, have put over 3,000 miles on it already, and I really like it. I think the 330i is more of a driver’s car than the C-Class, but with the sport suspension option the new C300 handles pretty well in my opinion. Like most Mercedes, options abound on the new C-Class. The base price isn’t terrible, but the MSRP climbs quickly as you start adding options. But around $50-52K will get you a very nice car, not much more than a similarly equipped BMW 330i or Audi A4.

For those who want to keep up with the Jones. Big zonk for the 2 liter in line 4 engine. Should be a 3.0L V6.

Manifesting 1 million subs for you this year. You deserve it and work so hard. Love to Lori ❤️

I enjoyed the double zonk on the fake exhaust. great energy.

The new 2023 Mercedes-benz C300 is the new Apostle to the German Ruro luxury Sedans I love the way it looks@

I have 2022 C300, and there are 2 USB ports below the A/C vents. Also, there are 2 cup holders on the rear armrest. You push in twice, and the cup holders will pop out.

Alright Joe another job well done. 👏 Great job Mr Flood. Again, another color that I absolutely love. I heard 2023 is going to be the year of the midsized truck Joe!

Test drove this car today, I originally wanted the GLC 300 coupe but it was too big for me. The C300 is beautiful I was really impressed with the car, drive was smooth with good acceleration. No other car company does an interior like Mercedes IMO. I'm currently leasing the 2021 CLA 250 4matic and do not love the ride its choppy, the C300 is a really nice upgrade! the damn interest rates are so high right now leases are so expensive 😩

3:00 my man staring the new year (2023) with bloopers 😂😂😂

Honestly, I really like the 2017 to 2018. Tail Lights they look like teardrops.

I’m absolutely in love with this blue,what a beauty. Great job as always joe and Steven. 😊😊😊

I can’t pick either one Joe, I absolutely love my BMW’s and Mercedes. I really love this one though and not many zonks I got on it.

I'm glad to see less sacrificial Dead Pedals. We don't need pedals dying just to be there.

They made it so good that you don’t even need an S-Class this car is really more than enough

Great review! I actually think the exterior is too generic on this new version but the interior is very cool.

First i wish you a healthy happy New year Raiti's and an great year forcthis channel and lets hope for more grear car news and reviews for 2023. Ths Mercedes-Benz it looks Lively like it soo much. Thankyou and wish you a great day!! Greetz From the Netherlands

Pricey. Would rather go with the Genesis G70 with a 6 cylinder

Hey buddy in the rear seat if you would have pressed that phone holder in halfway it would have popped out the rear cup holders also you can opt for the rear power accessories for plug and play. It took me a while to find the cup holders as well

The fake exhaust tips are so sad.

That's a fantastic car and the blue is spot on. The price isn't too bad also. 👍🔵

i think if you press the pen/phone holder again cup holders come out

Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2023 Mercedes Benz GLE AMG 63 S 4MATIC Thank You Your A Good RU-vidr I Like To Watch Your Video

This blue looks too good 🥺 thanks for the video Joe🙂

Nice car and review but I still prefer the simple instrument cluster of the 2022 A220. I also have some concern that one has to look down to view the display screen, otherwise good upgrade.

i didnt even realize he just dropped this video

With Mercedes putting 4 cylinders in everything and charging stupid prices for it I'd say no

Nice - Waiting for the 2023 GLC redesign 😊

I have a CLA 2020. Thinking of upgrading to this next year but would like the matte grey color

My daughter just bought one in Sarasota on New years Eve. Love her Panoramic roof

I got that car in black, it’s the best color for it

We just trade off our 15 to a 23 . My wife loves the car. It's another white with gloss and cool rimes. Love the entertainment front dash. 255 hp is kool. It's on my channel

High price 😂, $ 54k is a Mercedes A250 4matic ( 220 HP ) starting price without any options in Germany.

This car is amazing. The wait was long but worth it when it finally arrived. Had it for about a month now. Love it

Awesome job Joe. You stand alone, none better.

This is one of my favorite "when I get a pile of money I want this" cars.

Mercedes is a bit more luxurious and prettier in this price range but bmws handle better so they're kinda even just depends what people want

I love your “all right guys” transitions

Rear USB ports are available in the $300 "Advanced USB Package"

German car makers should also focuse on "Reliability" (Luxury, performance, & tech all works well only when there is reliability).

Dope wheels but no cup holders in the arm rest in back seat oh my gracious.....

I think the rear cup holder needs to be pressed twice to access the cup holder 54,000 dollars should cover at least one usb port for back seats.

I love those light colored seats against a dark headliner it really pops out nice. I know I am in the minority but I would rather have man-made leather which is nothing like the vinyl of the 1980s over animal skin leather especially nappa. The thought of them slaughtering a baby calf for seats doesn’t sit well

Maybe I’m the only one in here that is not blown away with this car 🤷🏻‍♀️. I find the exterior, exhaust, and engine, not that exciting. For entry level Mercedes, other than the beautiful interior, it’s not that great to me. I would rather get the newly refreshed Lexus IS 300/350 model instead.

Thanks for another great Raiti review! It's a nice looking car, and 250'ish HP and almost 300 lb/ft is decent for a sub-3700 lb car. The exhaust sound... Meh, a little weezy. The interior's excellent and the white leather really makes the other details stand out. But the iPad styled dashboard interface, and less so no manual transmission, would send me elsewhere. M2?

Well after 8 or nine months of owner ship:Amg line. Tinted the windows, carbon mirror caps, carbon spoiler, paint protection. Also had to replace the piano black cup holder cover with the other option with like the other silver print like carbon . Engine is loud sounds like a diesel engine and no pep for my taste. Starling blue with the white or whatever you call it. My belt or my black pants rubbed into the mb tex and won’t come out half to re dye. But very nice looking vehicle. With the Amg line it looks better with the lowered suspension.Yes as you stated zonk on the usb charger stuff. Ordered a 2024 c43.

My god that exterior color is heavenly! I love Blue and this color is so amazing! My head turns everytime I see a car that is Blue. It's not common so nice to see on the road always.

Great review. Almost pulled the trigger on one,The wife wants a coupe so gonna wait for the cle coupe hopefully they release it sooner than later

13:00 You can get 4 way climate control but it’s not standard. You also have cup holders in the back but you have the push the lid twice for the cup holders to pop out.

Awesome review,beautiful car but zonk on the fake exhaust tips

Great review - but would have liked to hear your perspective on the mild hybrid element to this new engine - that’s like this biggest change to this drivetrain.

C300 is a nice car for a daily driver that looks amazing without the HP or handling of the C43. I think the BMW 330i is about the same. It's basically the entry into a euro car market at a low price. Dollar per dollar, you would get a better Honda Accord or Toyota Camry that has more HP and upgrades.

Great stuff Joe. Nice car. I agree that they need some USB’s in the back seat area. Overall, I like the car. Thanks for bringing it to us.

Great review but please do one on the C43 AMG & 63 editions

That no USB in the back means this is basically a 2 seater with storage in the back seat. Unacceptable.

As someone who drives a 1999 corolla I feel the technological jump and luxury jump is daunting

Like the Mercedes but will opt for the bmw because of its durability.. My last Mercedes, gle is crap…rotors, engine mounts, moonroof, ac …you name it…trouble…

I would like to see one in Emerald Green..matte or shiny. But this one is nice too...the inside POPS too...nice.

9:38. The ladies want to see Stevens Twinkie in his pocket. 😂😂😂😂

in this video can see ur driving skill.even is short drive, can read right away. the car has good visible.

I love the color, factory wheels and interior with infotainment system would purchase this over the BMW a luxury car for sure.

By looking at this car it still makes me wanna go for the G70 instead. The only thing about Genesis is I wanted white seats but the ones they have still works. The amenities in the G70 is better than the C300

Blue is my favorite color but I would get this car in grey or white with red interior good video joe

The improvement from the previous generation is not adequate enough to justify the high price. I had this for a few days which helped me confirm it is not worth upgrading from my W205 model plus mine has the airmatic suspension which Mercedes no longer offers. Also the large touch screen occupies a wider area of the central console that the front seats actually feel more cramped than the previous generation. The ambient light and infotainment system is clearly much better and modern compared to the outgoing model but you have to look down at the large screen now rather than straight up due to the change in location of the screen. Outgoing model’s exterior is also better looking in my opinion, especially the taillights at night. The BMW 3 series is not any better looks wise (actually worse). It seems German car manufacturers nowadays just cannot be bothered to design good looking cars anymore

It’s a great car after you get use to driving it ..but all the things he didn’t like was what I didn’t like about it..the backseat not having a charging port is a killer..and the acceleration does feel like a 4 cylinder don’t really feel the turbo..on the highway tho ,very smooth and comfortable..it’s actually a great car on the highway..they just miss a couple things..and I really don’t like the flat seats.. need to be more comfortable.. after 2 hours of driving your lower back might start hurting.

Can you get us the 2023 mercedes-benz cla amg 35 review

🇺🇸 *LOVE this beautiful Mercedes* !! *It is EASILY much better than any Audi or BMW* !! *Very beautiful C300* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸

54000 for a c class. It's not even an amg model. I don't think so

Why not just put the exhaust in the fake tips? It's just a matter of shaping the mufflers differently, right? I like the car but standing and looking at it from the back, it looks like it has a big bubble butt. Really love the two tones on the interior though.

Leg & spits 😂 love it

Spent a lot of time with with a S550, but this is the Mercedes I would buy for around town. It is small, nimble and a joy to drive. It's not as cutting edge a performer as a BMW 3 class, but it offers a great balance of Reasonable Power, Good MPG,'s, Confidence lnspiring Handling and Braking. The caché of M-B is second to none. Maintenance is quite is second to none, but I would stay clear of those 4-Matics which may be prone to leakage. If you absolutely don't want a Lexus IS, this is what I would recommend. Pretty decent ride. Needs to be under under $40,000.

Thank you for this review. I was thinking the C300 this year but the zonks got me. Fake pipes, no charger for my kids and even worse no cup holders in the back for my kids. Wth! It’s nice for the driver but passengers can hang it up. Lol! No fun for the passenger, no food and no technology. Road trips will suck lol!

I’d grab the 330i M sport package for better looks and steering. This is doing 0-60 in 6 seconds. The 330i can do it in 5.2 with the same MPG

Great review and beautiful car. How is the right knee room for you in the driver's seat? It looks like the large center console intrudes on the driver's space a bit.

I bought a c300 2020 with 10438 miles 2 months ago. The car look and smelled new. I was told a man had it, he leased it and he bought packages. It was a no brainer for me. To buy a vehicle in this type calibre 20,000 less than the 2023. I jumped at the 2020. I love the classic look inside. The new Mercedes looks like a space ship, I don't really like that. I love my Mercedes 2020 and I didnt have to buy any packages, the gentleman who leased it as far as im concerned bought it for me. I will not use a lot of that extra stuff. But it is nice. My husband plays with the car, he acts like a kid in the candy store. He is a Audi man😂

Love the color. But I'd pass. I'd go with the BMW.

12:58 the rear seat vents and storage box look like the face of a robot 🤖 was about to bite your hand

LOL. My grandfather hade a Mercedes in his garage too. Model 1940 but he couldn't drive it. It belonged to Gestapo. The next door neighbor. In those days there was no TV on the dash board and they came only in black. A true story....

The rear does have cup holders . U have to push it twice the first slot is to hold things like phones or whatever else may fit.

Wow! Love the pin stripes dash, BUT my jaw dropped with no rear connectivity or cup holders!!! That's just annoying.

Everything is great less the back seat connectivity and no cup holders.

2023 Mercedes-benz C300 AMG Line Sedan!

Guy who does my hair says he might’ve gotten a lemon with this car. He said the seat moves, as in not properly screwed in it’s frame, and a bunch of other problems. He said Mb was a nightmare to get decent maintenance service from. The dealer has had his car for a total of like 5 weeks and he just got it in October 😳

Are there people really clean enough that can own a car with white leather? That wouldnt last a week with my children

Gorgeous car. Might treat myself for my 45th.

Excited for the AMG

Raitis is the best!!!!

The blue is ice cold, the best part is that this car is NOT FWD!

For that price I’ll prefer the Lexus ES350. More reliable car, a lot less money on maintenance and better resale price.

Fake vents on this car are so ridiculous. What would be the reason they couldn't afford 10 more inches of pipe for each side?

The pinstripes are stunning!! Incredibly impressive interior although I wish the seats had a splash of black. I’m sold.
