2018 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe - Redline: Review

[@cmcmanu8]

Call me crazy but I think the GLC And GLE coupes are gorgeous

[@nanoii7918]

Chris McManus you know what’s more beautiful? You hitting your head on the roof inside the rear of the GLE and a Trackhawk passing you comfortably

[@nemlol]

@@nanoii7918 is that before or after it catches fire and Jeep tries to stiff you on the warranty?

[@nanoii7918]

nemlol is that after or before people laugh at your Mercedes Benz stuck on tablet screen?

[@nemlol]

@@nanoii7918 it's a lot easier to restart a tablet then put out a car fire.

[@nanoii7918]

nemlol so far, I haven’t seen any Jeep Trackhawk “on flames” so I don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you mistaking it with the Viper.. Also don’t think I hate The GLE/GLC. it’s just that...why? Why make the head room horrible in a family car? And yes you did beat me in roast battle with the Trackhawk and the GLE/GLC cuz now I don’t have any response ;-;

[@MaxSpeedMike]

Really starting to get into mercedes lately. They're making some beautiful cars!

Your presenting is so fluid and warm man, doing a great job thank you! 👍🏾

[@MegaRetr]

Awesome review!

[@350z33hr]

Looks good. Sometimes Sofyan complains too much.

[@bubbasocks7466]

Best review in KZbin if I'm being honest

[@thomasmrozovich7631]

$75k loaded up? Skip the options and get the 63.

[@L30NHART]

I wonder if Acura wishes they never pulled out of this segment after looking at how successful BMW and Merc' crossover coupes are. They had something with the ZDX. All it needed was a mid model refresh to fix the design issues and it would've been sitting up top of the crossover podium with the MDX.

[@Nestle245]

I agree... Very rarely see any Zdx's on the road

[@vincecarter5447]

Racer Lex lol saw one today !

[@penvon]

I see one everyday,the neighbour has one.The guy next door to him has a Prius & a ironically (I kid you not) the lady next to the Prius has a Pontiac Aztec. I’m so happy I live on the opposite side of the street.

[@brucec43]

Yeah, we sat in one and it was interesting, just not quite what we needed at the time. By now with some power improvements it could be a more reliable version of the Merc and BMW offerings in the class.

[@Southpaw-qc9gh]

Nothing can refresh the fact that it’s a Honda

[@sebastianmendez5812]

Im loving these German car reviews!!!!

[@tsun890]

It's funny how hard you tried to avoid the guy and yet once you turn on back up camera he's right there!

[@mujjuman]

lol that was annoying

[@Eeaotc02]

I just hope these performance crossovers don't replace performance sedans/hatchbacks.

[@ColoradoSpringsDashcam]

Joshua Johnson I would rather have a performance crossover. I’ve only owned crossovers I love them!

[@bboy1hunnid329]

Taylor Reynolds they do tend to be very convenient if you have families or are out with your friends a lot. Never owned one. Driven a couple of my friends but I just like cars. Like actually cars.

[@leefamily9000]

Why does this guy always hate on sport coupes? Some people really like it.

[@kostco53]

That amg in sport mode is awesome. Love the way it took off in the video.

[@danki2000daniel]

You're here in Portland and didn't come smoke a blunt with me ! How dare you

[@KidKingdomHearts]

Don Boss well seeing as it's legal in both Oregon and California, why not.

[@stuna101a]

Never heard of a 4 door or technically 5 door car or "crossover' being called a coupe....This car sounds amazing

[@terryhall2324]

That Mercedes symbol is literally bigger than his head, Jesus lol.

[@yahstino]

Benz interiors would literally always be perfect if it wasn't for the ugly infotainment screen. Looks like a cheap tablet and the bezels are massive. (excludes the S-Class)

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Yes. Looks like a complete afterthought. «Hey, let's slap a 1st gen iPad there, but make sure it's not an actual touchscreen». Lame.

[@PhiCongDoan7587]

I really like how you compared it with other competitors and also the regular GLC. I also like how you gave a break down on the pricing. I’ve been contemplating if I should get the GLC43 or the GLC43 Coupe. But yes I would totally agree a C43 sedan would be a great vehicle however not much room for a growing family such as mine! Awesome review again!

[@dlg5485]

Don't you want the shift paddles on the wheel instead of the column, for easier in corner shifting?

[@hayksamvelyan]

Great review! If I could point out a few areas of opportunity I have noticed, I feel like you could benefit from a slightly longer pause in a few parts of the video. Example 1: @0:16 When you finish establishing an opening question and then say "that's what we're here to find out", It feels like a run on sentence. Let the viewer have some time to absorb the question and give us a longer pause in between. Otherwise it feels a bit rushed. Example 2: @11:29 It feels very unexpected and abrupt when you go from listing specs to going for a test drive. You should pause a little right before saying that you're gonna "get on the road". Other than that, your video content is really solid and comprehensive in covering all aspects of the car. Keep it up!

[@stevieg3078]

It was a little weird that instead of looking out the front windshield when you accelerated, we saw the front console? I want to see how you compare this to the X4 M40i

[@brucec43]

Really the only way this hurts cargo capacity is if you stack stuff to the roofline in the back, which you usually do not. For a couple it's fine.

[@TheCobruhAlienat0r]

Hmm, so I saw this video on the related video on the side of another video. But it isn't showing up on my subscription feed.

[@Mrluckyjo]

"the stupid sloping roof" lol. u mentioned the mpg of 18-24, however it's listed to be 9L/100kms .. which translates to a much better mpg. what's correct?

[@RidingWithJahv]

nice car and cool that you have a camera man now! Business is picking up!

[@carintroduction608]

Your car is beautiful. Although the site does not have the conditions to introduce the car, but I love to introduce the car so the site will introduce the car presentation. Love your channel ^.^

[@sharvan456]

Also can you test drive Maserati Levante(although not in this class) and provide your comments on that Vehicle? Thanks

[@suttongriffin8154]

Can you start putting the as tested price in the video description?

[@mitchellboynton979]

I'm confused, why do companies say that there is a coupe right in front when there is 4 doors right there? isn't a coupe a 2 door

[@speedkar99]

who's the dude at 5:29 in the mirror?

[@Kiss__Kiss]

His Camera Guy?

[@GuidoGoyaBeans]

3:30 So the key doesn't have amg on it therefore it's not full fledge amg model?

[@arelaththewhitewolf230]

The best AMG mode is Race mode not Sport +. Once you try race mode, you never go back. Louder, more pops, only shift at redline automatically.

[@FrederickHwang]

It needs the AMG Performance Exhaust...day and night.

[@arelaththewhitewolf230]

Frederick Hwang I didn’t have my performance exhaust but race mode changed all that making it louder... I deleted one of the resonators as well

[@FrederickHwang]

I see, a resonator delete would do the trick, haha. I have the sedan and the AMG PE...WOW! Gives the car a soul!

[@onecoolstorybro]

Hi! I did this on my old Range, loved how quick and inexpensive this little mod was. Just to confirm, you did this on a new GLC43? Did you ever get any check engine lights after doing so? Thanks!

[@heathdetweilerRealtor]

Love the pops from our 18 in this mode. Pales in comparison to my Panamera in Sport + mode though-as far as pops go I mean.

[@Viettzz]

This is the GLC 43, what about the GLE 43? What is the difference between those 2?

[@justSTUMBLEDupon]

What is the difference between the GLE and the GLC?

[@michaeletinosa7886]

The gear handle isn’t in the regular position🥲

[@takundamapako7856]

nice review.

[@CarsofGlasgow]

I really like this GLC!

[@zrp0602]

Mercedes is easily the best luxury brand and has the best performance models with AMG

[@penvon]

zrp0602 I thought it would’ve been Rolls Royce or Bentley even.But hey I don’t know much anyways.

[@zrp0602]

Smooth Operator I was only considering the basic luxury brands like infiniti Audi ect

[@JulezWinnfield]

Is that a stalker sneaking up behind Sofyan at the 05:29 videomark....lol?

[@jasondao8951]

I see that SQ5 in the background 2:25

[@Oddessy]

My mum drives GLC 43 Amg 2017 max engine settings and she doesn’t even use sport :(

[@naperking]

Would also prefer a C43. I have a large dog, therefore I need a GLC43. Also considering GLA45 AMG. Thoughts?

[@885.0ELopez]

Does the GLE 43 AMG also have that same interior

[@g1ovan13]

I agree with you about the shape of that coupe

[@banstaman]

I just don't understand coupe UVs; they have less room, they're uglier, you remove a part of the roof and somehow they get heavier, and they're way more expensive?

[@AC-dz4gk]

banstaman they are trying to be like a coupe with the sloping roofline but you kinda get the functionality of a compact SUV with the powered tailgate and cargo space

[@DieselDan09]

Now please do the c43!!

[@elliottmanning4116]

I feel like he has a love/hate relationship with this car. I have to agree, it looks horrible, but people like them. I see the bigger version of this, the GLE Coupe, often on the road.

[@pd5156]

GLC with 63 exterior is the most good looking midsize SUV imo. If reliability was not a problem and I would not be a broke ass it would be my ultimate car (maybe with a new infotainment system). Drives like a sedan and it is capable of offroad.

[@marksholtes8229]

It looks like a very large vehicle.But it's hard to tell your a small guy.

[@mshell1959]

Like that blue color!

[@f181234]

This isn't really an "AMG" product it's just branded as one tbh I think by doing that dilutes the AMG brand making it less prestige. Btw that key is 15 years old

[@FrederickHwang]

Mercedes says it is.

[@djiqs]

I was wondering about the key as well. My 2008 C300 had the exact same one. I don't understand why they didn't change it considering it was designed to be placed into a key housing to start the engine.

[@coffeeblak86]

f181234 I would have to agree.

[@coffeeblak86]

Oh I get what Mercedes is doing. They have an S model so they might make an R model too.

[@FrederickHwang]

DJ IQS they are beginning with the 2018 E class. The $200K AMG GTs still use the old key fobs...just FYI.

[@sDeezyeazy]

This fake exhaust trend needs to stop. The SQ5 is atrocious.

[@terrancesneed3757]

The ultimate sugar daddy car.

[@mikeharris7261]

The chrome above the tail lights reminded me of the Buick verano

[@kevinlinglang4336]

This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about I have a glc43 amg and it’s signed by the man who assembled the engine and the comfort mode exhaust sounds amazing and don’t get me started on the the sport and sport+ modes where the valves are open releasing an even more amazing sound with crackles

[@ericuh14]

Kevin Linglang 43 engine not signed by the man. I think you don’t know what’s real amg is

[@Smearrrrrrgle]

Why is everyone here in Portland for all these press releases?? And no fan/sub meet ups :(

[@JuniorRD1994klk]

How much does that car cost

[@a.kblur04]

One of the best sounding V6's! I love the 43 models, an E 43 wagon would be perfect.

[@ultratech6671]

Adam Douglas id like a cla43 ang shooting brake

[@nmcwirth777]

Why do car enthusiasts give the BMW x6 credit for the rear sloped deign, when it was the Acura ZED or Toyota Venza that started the style trend????

[@donkeyearrs]

You do a fantastic job on reviews. One comment about the car. The chrome strip above the right tail light does not line up straight. I know I'm being picky but there is no way that is acceptable on a $60,000 Mercedes Benz.

[@nicoleinsures]

Mercedes considers a coupe to be the version of its vehicle that has less cargo/ truck space and a lower ceiling in the back. The current GLC 300s have a coupe version. You don’t get the panoramic roof with the coupe version.

[@realbhopwood]

Any updates on testing out the new crossover from Alfa Romeo? Honestly I really think it's a CX-5 underneath for an extra $12,000 if so could you expose it's comparisons? Would you recommend possibly the GLC model over its competitors?

[@05Forenza]

I actually loved the look of the original GLK, though it drove like garbage and the build quality was poor. But I also immensely enjoy the styling of the G-Class.

[@MrCarGuy]

05Forenza The build quality was certainly not poor. The pre-facelift version sure did have material issues, but the update took care of most of it.

[@penvon]

A Mercedes with build quality issues & material issues? Say it ain’t so.LIES I tell ya.

[@Paul_Y_T]

Odd comment about the key. I've had amg's with that key, and they came with a tin with an alternative key back, so you could choose if the key had the amg logo or not. I trust it's the same with this one.

[@damianotoole]

stop saying coop. its coo-pay

[@the808kid7]

We are in America, not Europe.

[@joejohnson9900]

[@kanob6440]

Everything is amg now

[@BobbyDazzler888]

Even your comment is

[@lawdog516]

Hi, GREAT review as always but I do have a dumb question. This is a coupe, don’t “coupe” mean 2 doors? Keep up your great and very informative and entertaining videos.

[@GennyR]

You're technically right about that. Mercedes and BMW have begun calling their sleeker cars "coupes" for some reason. Check out the BMW 6-series gran coupe for another example, or the Merc CLS class. I think its kind of dumb but whatever. Marketing is marketing.

[@lawdog516]

GeneralRed256 thanks

[@Brandon_501]

Joey Segreti They have changed the definition to having a sloping roof line.

[@Haags_hopje_070]

They try to make 4 door notchbacks sound more luxe by calling them coupes. Just like how every German station wagon isn't actually called a station wagon but something else.

[@lawdog516]

Brandon Rockwell thanks

Seat Heating + Cooling = If your completely wet from a rain shower and it's cold outside, you turn on both and your dry in a few minutes ;) That's why it is for

[@waisoserious3017]

This entire test was done in comfort mode. And it doesn't sound like the car was warmed up before he tried to demonstrate the sound

[@EndofDays213]

Cross over are small but big enough to fit ppl comfortable. Ppl like to enter a car with no discomfort so it's perfect between a sedan and an suv. I drove the jeep Cherokee and understood why ppl like crossovers now. But I'm more a sedan or coupe guy

[@stevefranklin8052]

Well hello antiqetid instrument cluster from my 08 Mitsubishi Outlander! Almost a dead ringer. Also very similar to the old Elantra gauge cluster lol.

[@thevacdude]

Turning on both of the heat and ventilation is to provide more cooling, according to Mercedes.

[@davionharper3073]

From my understanding, this car only has one competitor, which is the BMW X6. This one and the X6 are the only Sports Activity Coupes on the market.

[@marksman4004]

Sounds pretty good

[@La-yt1wr]

I didn’t know Mercedes makes V6’s if I see one it’s a 4 cylinder or V8

[@BeesonsCars]

Lavonte A id say the vast majority of Benz’ on the road are V6s. The E class had a 6 cylinder base until 2016, most C’s were V6s until 2013, etc. Every car they made could come with a V6 besides the S, G wagon, SL, CL, and GL.

[@jgvtxman8659]

Paddle shifters should be attached to the wheel and not the steering column imho, because you can shift them while turning the wheel instead of trying to grab them hit or miss in the corners, etc. Thank you.
