I am having a fantastic day, thank you very much!

Thank you Jeff 🧡

Thank you Helm! It bloody IS! ;-)

A stunning fast car! 🔥💙

It's a fairly low mountain pass, about 1200m. No real change other than the temperature which results in a change of grip. There were still places with a little bit of snow.

@@AnnaOnRoads Thank you for this, and all your replies. I enjoy your videos, very much. You have managed a great blend of information and entertainment.

Thank you the Mister Mann 🧡 Lovely to see you again

390 HP

@@Alpinus999 she said 390. Ok. It's too much for 2.0 litre with Biturbo

@@yoyogarysingh8801 This is v6 3.0l

No it's a 3.0 V6 bi turbo with 385 bhp or 390 ps.@Yo Yo Gary Singh

@@AnnaOnRoads ok, i confess, c43 leaves me cold. but those curves... i mean those roads ... definitely worth driving on 🚗🏔😍

Thank you and a very warm welcome :-) I'm not a race driver, oh dear, far away from that, just someone who loves cars and driving!

@@AnnaOnRoads but you are very technical, love a girl who knows how to drive. Awesome drive and vids. All my best to you and this channel!

Thank you Engin! :-)

Haha, I knew this comment would come and out of all the people out there, of course it had to be from you, Stewart! ;-) I think it was a combination of uneven surface and my brother filming walking backwards. Or maybe it's me, Shakira ;-) Oh yes, job had to be done, foot had to be down xx

@@AnnaOnRoads haha. oh dear. I really am developing an (almost) undeserved reputation on here! 😄

;-)

ja hallo, Niemand kann sich so nes Auto leisten ... du weisst wie es ist. Hartz4

Hmm, it's a tricky answer. The D4 has more torque and in daily life, this will deliver more powerful experience. Both are amazing cars.

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts! Loved to see your reply. Keep up the good work. Of all your reviews, my most favorite is still about the silver Alpina B5.

Life in a fast lane ;-) Yes, roads are dangerous with all of us trying to have a little bit of fun.

Haha, well, just like with any other car. Until the cookie crumbles ;-)

Hi Chris, thank you so much. Oh yes, we love the fakery today, don't we... But it's the reality today, sadly. Having said that, I do appreciate whatever of natural beauty is left :-)

It's not supposed to be a highly tuned engine. It's intended to have a good balance of power and low-mid range torque. The S54 Bimmer In line did have 343 bhp from a 3.2 NA , but did didn't have much torque and needs to be revved over 6K to get performance. That wouldn't suit an AMG or this model especially.

@@ahemgee9542 highly tuned engine?... any Subaru Impreza or Mitsubishi lancer from 20 years ago can get 300 hp out of a 2.0 4-cylinders... No matter how you slice and dice it: a turbo engine will only rev (at least) 1000 RPM lower than an atmo. But yes, you are right, those days of high-revving screaming engines are by-gone, to the profit of engines with more mid-range torque. For sure, turbos will give that.

@@ChristophePeytier sorry meant not*** supposed to be a highly tuned engine. As it's an entry level AMG.

@@ahemgee9542 It makes sense, Akash...

Sons, there was absolutely no speeding present. I follow the rules. Always. Like a proper citizen. xx

@@AnnaOnRoads I'm just concerned about mother

Jak sie usmiechnelam od razu ;-)

@@AnnaOnRoads 👏👏Ty 😉

Hi Ian, oh not yet! But she will be back soon!

Hi Anna great news!.your like two beautiful sisters,keep up the great work you do.we enjoy your videos you post and good to see the Swiss road queen is still holding her crown😊❤️

Thank you David :-) I will be but sometimes, you gotta let it all out! At least a part, shall I say.

The 1st four gears are very low, so it takes off rapidly, whilst still having good ratios for cruising and economy on the motorway. It would be slower and less efficient with a 6spd.

Oh yes! Thank you Klasse Act ❤️

I wanted to tell you ,that I have a Fiat 500 , but from a time in my mind is the Mercedez Slk ,since it is a car individual , what is your point of view about model ?

Thank you Ingvar, lovely to see you. I very much agree, a beige or even brown interior would be much much better. Blue paint colour and brown interior, or better yet, green paint and brown interior! Hmm, oh that is a very very difficult question. I love Lexus, LFA, LC, even the latest RC F Track Edition. But also Ferrari 812 Superfast! Or the Range Rover SVR! Hmm the list is so loooong ;-)

Anna you are right about the color of the AMG C43. So it wasn't easy for you regarding the dream car. Ferrari 812 Superfast doesn't sound silly. The Range Rover SVR, I heard from another RU-vidr was lovely but he was less able to refuel it so often and thought it was so thirsty. Have you run any Lamborghini ??

Hi Sam, beautiful choice of a car, not to mention the spec. 1300 km? You gotta get this car on the road! Don't waste it, it's not a garage queen. You gotta give it some hammering on those beautiful Queensland roads :-) The paint protection is well worth it and I think too often overlooked by most. I love the C63, don't get me wrong, but I also think for Oz, it's too much. To be honest, anything over 1.2 L in Switzerland is just ego. Including myself, of course, being the worst offender with the biggest ego. I've spent many years in NZ, but Australia was just terror in terms of controls, I even lived briefly in a very exciting town oft Newcastle ;-) I'm glad I've managed to put a big smile on your face, at the end of the day, this is the biggest goal x

Girl on Swiss Roads thank you so much Anna I will be driving it more often and will give it some hammering on Queensland and NSW roads. I was a bit confused to be honest about how to drive it as many say your engine’s future depends on how you drive the car in the first 1500 km, I did drive it mostly from Brisbane to Gold Coast and I used to put the cruise control on all the time and I just found out it was a bad idea. Now I drive it without cruise control and I let it change gears frequently. Last week I took it to Byron Bay as I had a medical conference there it was at Byron resort at Byron and I didn’t know they didn’t have an undercover car park and oh my god every single bird pooped on it and stayed there for 4 days under the sun and baked it. When I arrived home, I let it cool a bit and washed it using the foam lance twice to loosen up the dirt then hand washed it using 2 bucket methods using microfiber clothes and dryer The paint was not affected at all so permagard was put to the test and it worked! I used to only drive BMW FROM 7 series 735i to 545i to 550i so this baby is my first Mercedes and I just love it, I treat it like a human 🤣 Anna, you said you lived briefly off Newcastle, there is a town near Newcastle where I used to holiday in it’s called Nelson Bay people call it Nelson ‘s Bay which is wrong and it’s my favourite place in NSW in terms of beauty and climate. Now I go to Broadbeach a lot and planning on moving there one day soon. I really wish to meet you one day, I just like you very much!

It used to be the case thta you had to be very careful with new cars, but today, with modern cars, it's not as crucial. Although one does have to take care, not to rev it too high, and yes, avoid using the cruise control. An ideal place is to drive it in and out of the city where the speed varies drastically and so does the gear change. But if you haven't done this, it's not the end of the world. Brands give this advice to bulletproof themselves but in reality, these cars have already spent a significant amount of time on the road. As to having birds pooping all over your car, well, some say it's good luck! ;-) But in all seriousness, if you have the paint protection, that's one thing less to worry about. At some stage, you gotta let it go, the car will be dirty, there will be some scratches, it's just inevitable with public roads. Mercs are beautiful but they are also very different from bimmers, interesting swap :-)

It not really true AMG but as a car it make more sense since not everyone what a v8 that keep get owner into trouble... but it is as fast as long you don't take it to autobahn...

Hi Jeremy! Hmm, it's still impressive but not as impressive as the C63 ;-)

Hi Shaun, lovely to see you again, thank you. I do enjoy my press cars, oh yes. Switzerland is a beautiful, clean country, but believe me, I miss Australia... We might earn more but the cost of living here... off the roof. It's not as laid back, as chilled, as warm as Oz.

You lived in Oz! Or travelled here. Excellent. We're quite strict on ourselves but lovely nation You'd have/would fit right in with your subtle humour. No one likes a show off but they appreciate those who try hard and keep working to help. And what's higher to a male (also many females) than talking about their mode of transport. You could go places 1 day with vehicle knowledge on resume!

Hi Shaun, I have lived in Oz, Newcastle to be precise, I've worked in the ship building industry before cars. I've lived for many years in Auckland so travel to Sydney, Melbourne was monthly or so. I appreciated Australia in many different aspects, but never as much as I do right now, having lived for 4 years in Switzerland. Yes, it is strict, but nothing compared to Switzerland. It goes to show, grass isn't always greener on the other side...

Australians/NZ would appreciate what you inked just now. Thankyou Idea @Shaunsspiel Twitter This sounds like a sell but it's more a, take a look at this (maybe possible) latest idea (+ any other ideas) Anna. Maybe you, maybe not. Let myself know if u have any trouble viewing account. Would appreciate thoughts/ideas. Could be of interest. Did get the idea from watching documentaries on cars. Till then, much appreciated your vids

Sliczne autko 💙

A big first THANK YOU!

@@AnnaOnRoads You're welcome, gorgeous. :)

Sam!

Girl on Swiss Roads yes Anna

You must be right dumbass. RU-vid is a reliable source of accurate 0-100 data.

Also just noticed her profile picture is the C63!!!! Stick to electric Prius mate.

I was wondering where that came from until I checked you out. Now I know. I am sorry that you are an uncivilised barbarian and history doesn’t even mention any of your achievements (with the notable exception of hasish) and you are an unhappy idiot. We may be some of the things you describe but we do so with a happy feast a dance and a national pride you can only dream about.

My 100% show room stock C43 Sedan with 19" rims and Conti Sport tires ran 0-60 MPH in 4.0 seconds as measured by the Draggy box at 1000' above sea level and with no 1' rollout (if it had 1' of rollout it would have been even faster, that's how the magazines do it). The 43 stock is a quick car. With a Stage 2 tune and downpipes it's a monster.
