i love how they are saying the gen coupe is actually competing with benz and bmw coupes...have they been inside a gen coupe before?

[@stevehammes]

Calm down there sparky...The Genesis Coupe and BMW 3-series are the only 2 coupes that are of subcompact size, rear-wheel drive, offered with a 4-cylinder turbo and a 6-cylinder option and can be had with automatic transmissions. That eliminates the AWD A5, G35/Q50, etc...

[@techdude6693]

I hate how the front end looks without the Xenon Light Package.

[@T966ER]

This car really needs the optional xenons

[@dopeloyal]

I got mine today for only 20k with 19k miles on it 2013 model ! I love it :)

[@bigcrowfly]

From the side from a distance looks like the 2008-2012 Honda Accord coupe (even the same shade of red paint).

[@randalceniceros8157]

Depreciation: One issue with BMWs is that they depreciate a lot. For example, a three-year old 3-Series BMW is priced around $30,000, while the 6-year old 3-Series averages around $17,000. This means that a three-year old 3-Series will cost you nearly $4,000 per year in lost value alone. Reliable average or below average.

[@MaliciousSRT]

Big move for MB to offer sport equipment on a low-end 250. This car just a few years ago came standard with hub caps and almost zero options. Another CAFE car is what I am thinking....more 4cyl sales means less fines for building V8's and AMG's.

[@cassiocm]

You are right on the money Steve. A turbo 2.0 L and a starting price of about 36-40K would do wonders here. As is this is a good car to get in about two years when someone returns from a lease deal. Or, get the new Bimmer with the 2.0L and 240HP. Beautiful car though.

[@mterwill9]

my co-worker bought a challenger r/t two months ago and the paint has started peeling off the roof. Because he didnt get the "inside/outside protection package" they refuse to fix it

[@bigdzll.222]

For more excitement add kleemann or vath plug-and-play system and watch out

[@bmwmsport11]

I wish they could put a Kompressor badge on it to indicate the turbocharger. I love the older MBs especially from 1995-2008.

[@VilleVallaton76]

They didn't put Kompressor badge on those because they turbocharced, not supercharged.

[@islandgirl103]

Steve, have you driven the new Honda Accord coupe V6?

[@chromebala]

This doesn't "weigh less than any other two door the company sells", the SLK weighs less at less than 3200lbs

[@islandgirl103]

What did you think about it? Will you be doing a full review on the car some time in the future?

[@stevehammes]

Yes. But just at the media intro.

[@76carmel]

I thought, "What about Audi A5 or Cadillac CTS Coupe?" Just like you've told @teamsalvation -- the powertrains are significantly different. You can't compare V6 and/or AWD coupes to this C-Class Coupe with the turbo I-4. For 2014, BMW replaces the 3-Series Coupe with the 4-Series, but correct me if I'm wrong. (I think the 4-Series is a baby 6-Series, and it's not a bad thing).

[@96gurvi]

Im not sure mine is base or sport?? Could u help me?? Its c250 2013

[@HNRichard]

no traction control? why :(

[@stevehammes]

I guess I should have said with rear seats...

[@stevehammes]

Welcome to 2014. It's the Q50.

[@FistOfGarry]

Why do all euro cars in the US have these odd orange reflectors on the side. I know it has something to do with DOT regulation, but I don't see their usefulness.

[@Lanier3000]

Some people in the comments are way too analytical in comparisons. Either way, I would go with something different. Something about this car... Not entirely sure how I feel about it. Feels like at this price point, it should include a lot of things... Navigation included. Then again, I've never been super fond of Mercedes-Benz anyway. Still, nice-looking car though.

[@donnegron220]

I just got one. What does the coffee ☕️ mug next to the “P” mean?

[@stevehammes]

That is a driver attention monitor that grades you on how not distracted you are. Congrats!

[@teamsalvation]

"Pits the coupe up against the Hyundai Genisis and BMW 3-Series"...Really, Hyundai Genisis? Hyundai must have be paying the bills...I would have picked the A5 from Audi over the Genisis. Heck, even the Infiniti G35, though out dated and with a 6cyl. When I think / see a Genisis goupe, I think, "racer boy, a-la Integra Type-R" - this Merc, though low in power and lacking "standard" features for the price, is no "racer boy" car. Well, props to Hyundai. They've been doing everything to get plugged.

[@matiasfuentesrivas9544]

NO xenon ??? horrible

[@phantom2k10]

great review

[@TheNickynugroho]

Hm..i'll go with 2013 honda acord coupe

[@DevPack]

[@CanadianRifleman]

[@henrybrar]

Q50 is a sedan

[@DancinRandy54]

i would way rather have the bmw!

[@oneoleqt]

bright red seat belt , hmmmmm

[@acche-rc]

I rather get an Accord Coupe V6. :)

[@ehab007bob]

i would rather get a dodge challenger than this

[@joybolden60]

Chevy Cruze

[@henrybrar]

G35? welcome to 2013. its G37 since 2009.

[@onoff314]

rekt

[@henrybrar]

$45K for this. i guess its for women with good jobs.

[@Stere0guy]

Good car but it's a bit ugly.

[@dopeloyal]

I got mine today for only 20k with 19k miles on it 2013 model ! I love it :)

[@713vinh]

What are the options you got on your car? Is it a coupe?

[@asoroseraitv]

Do you still own & if not what made you give it up?

[@dopeloyal]

​@@asoroseraitv car still runs good its at 200k miles now i got a 2022 honda civic si to replace it. but this lil 250 never gave me problems!

[@dopeloyal]

@@713vinh its the same car with all the same options as in this video

[@heathnorthpoke9825]

hello, I saw that you are replacing it with a civic? did it had any issues? was it diesel? and last question was it economical on fuel and to maintenance? sorry for many question I thinking of getting one 2013 model
