Mercedes C-Class Coupe Review // Fast, good looking AND comfortable? 

Is it more efficient for city driving than the 250 In other words is the c250 coupe better than it ?

@@mohammaddado5073 that was always an excellent runner in slow traffic, but have now got the 2016 c220d coupe. That’s unbelievable economy. But the 2013 is very good fuel wise

What is your fuel consumption like?

About 42 mpg

Cheers Mark! Was fun to make! Yes definitely, I think because it's the new version of my own car, there was a lot to compare :)

Thank you Woregar! I would love to do more Mercedes videos, so will do as soon as I get the opportunity 👍

No worries, glad it was helpful. Good luck in your search for the right one!

Awesome. Same reasons I like my CLK - it's smooth and it lets you drive in a relaxed manner, you feel chill when you arrive at your destination. Cheers Fiona!

Thank you. Believe it or not, I prefer doing the older more affordable cars, but it's often difficult to get hold of them! I rely on the generosity of various people in order to test them and newer cars are often easier to get hold of. But rest assured there will be plenty of older, 2000's generation cars to come! I think that final generation of Celica is possibly my most requested car, so fingers crossed I can get a drive in one 😁 I had a '02 'bugeye' WRX a few years back - great car.

Thanks Jake! :)

How's the reliability?

The OM651 2.1 CDi has issues with chain rattle and weak waterpumps. Anything well maintained will last a long time. Don't forget this 2.1 is a "taxi" engine.

Thank you!

Haha yep, not sure why I didn't bother putting us both on camera before. Never thought to use that camera angle pointing back :) Cheers Matt.

Cheers for the info! The C250 is a nice balance for the C204. Quite pleased to hear that about the CLK 200 Kompressor, as that's my daily driver :)

Got 2012 c204 c220cdi rn on 270k km still going hard and strong 💪

Awesome, you won't be disappointed :)

😄

Where are you based?

Thanks man, much appreciated! I'm based in the Peak District, quite good for scenic video backdrops if I'm filming around here. Good luck with your hunt for the right C Class :)

Personally I'd have the E-Class just simply because it's bigger, has the pillarless and frameless windows. The C-Class is a lovely car but for me not quite as special. But it's all a matter of personal taste I think as they both drive nicely

Awesome, great car for a 24 year old. You won't regret buying one :)

Did u buy it ?

Thank you. Always a good question that! I think it's all down to personal preference - they are both good cars. Both capable mile munchers, good looking, and handle reasonably well. The Audi is a little lighter and therefore feels a bit more 'sporty'. The Merc is high on the luxury look and feel level, though both are built to a similar high standard. Personally, I'd have the C-Class, I like how Mercedes style both the interior and exterior of cars, and their general focus on luxury rather than sportiness.

Cheers Martin, I'd love to try one!

Haha, yep, definitely is. Great car for posing 😂

Ha!

Well, the CLK is a fabulous car of course :) TT will be sportier, probably more fun, but less of a mile munching grand tourer.

Just make sure you find one that's been looked after and they are pretty well built reliable cars. What car do you have now or before this?

Nice one, cheers! Yeah, they were made during the time of mega diesel popularity haha, so petrol ones are not so common. Which is a shame now that diesel is the devil again. The seats move forward but not electronically, they just slide forward. Probably better than electronically as it's faster. The seatbelts don't come forward - there's no 'butler'. But, you don't really need it as the seatbelt is mounted in a good place. Whereas because the E-Class is pillarless (as is my CLK) you need the butler to pass it as they have to mount the belt further back. You might be able to spec it with self parking, but this model didn't have it. It did have 'parktronic' parking sensors front and rear.

@@JJonCars ohhh i see, yeah i thought it came standard on cars with the parking sensors speccd. They seem to have shot up in price in the last year as you used to be able to get them for around £7k now they’re around 12k! Mad how much it’s changed in just 12 months.

@@gwiondavies4909 yep crazy isn't it, same goes for pretty much any car too

@@JJonCars hi what would you say as a reasonable price for 2015 1.6 c180 auto (premium plus ) spec with 38k on the clock. Found one on the market but don't want to pay anything silly and end up loosing a lot when the prices start to go south.

@@JJonCars by the way great video and keep up the good work.Enjoyed it!!

Hi. I couldn't say for sure. I think you'd be ok, but I'd suggest a test drive!

@@JJonCars Yeah i'm going to test drive soon as I get my license this year, thanks for letting me know

😊

Sure is :)

Does it have any adjustability, like lumbar support or anything?

@JJonCars i don't think so, so far haven't found any of that tho is there any in these models?

It’s tomorrow now so I hope u enjoy

Yes, enjoy!

Hey, sorry, not quite sure what you mean - what did I do with the headlamps?

@@JJonCars those little jets that come out the front number and spray them?

@@silverlake973 ah yes okay, well if I remember rightly (and I might be mixing it up with another car) if you use the windscreen washers a few times, the headlight washers will activate every few goes :) on my older CLK there is a separate button but I think they tied them in with the windscreen washers on your car

@@JJonCars ah okay that makes some sense. I guess that's how it would be if there's no separate controls. I'll have a look in the manual too. Cheers

This is a more modern car, more luxurious. I'd say it's an upgrade over the CLC, not that the CLC is a bad car :)

@@JJonCars thanks 😁

CLK for me, as that's what I own :) I like the shape and style of it and the pillarless side windows :)

Gearbox seemed smooth to me - is it unreliable or something?

@@JJonCars they have a terrible reputation. Luck of the draw if you get a good one. Just look on merc forum, full of people sayijg how bad the gearboxes are. They even tried fixing it with an update to try and stop the "kick in the back" at low speed. They are still brilliant cars, I still have mine. Just spoiled a bit with a poor gearbox. Also annoying about the Internet, not that anyone would use it but they turned off all the apps except weather. 😂

@@DreamTripper Ah right, I see. I'll stick with the CLK then :) I wouldn't be using the internet on that little screen nowadays, not with a smartphone in my pocket. I don't think I've have even used it in 2014 when the car was new, lol

Thank you for watching all the way away in South Korea :)

Nice, enjoy!

You know, you are right. The E coupe is the official successor the the CLK, it's what Merc replaced the CLK with. And it has the pillarless design, seatbelt butler etc :) Honestly, I very much like my CLK, but I did feel that the interior of the C class felt at least as high quality, if not slightly better. I don't think it is a downgrade, though I do know what you mean about the look of the buttons and dashboard - but when you get inside the car it feels a lot nicer/more luxurious than it looks from pictures or video. So it is a nice car, but it doesn't feel as 'special' as the CLK. I'd like to try an E Coupe.

@@JJonCars I definitely need to try a c coupe then. Thx a lot for your answer to my question!!🙏

The E Coupé ist actually based on the C Class Body

Haha, fair enough

Wow! I knew cars were expensive in Singapore, but that is absolutely incredible. Is the W204 what you drive there? Or are you looking for one?

I'm not in the market for one but good luck with your sale!

😂 Glad to have helped

Where are you from? Some times it does rain all day, but most times you just have to wait a bit for it to stop :D
