TheStraightPipes love the look of a sportwagon 😍😍just should be lifted a bit, like the v90 cross country. that, along with some beefier wheels. shit that would be good

[@Boomer.Roberts]

I've fallen in love with wagons recently. Picking up a Golf Alltrack very soon to replace my 1999 Honda CR-V!

[@JacobFrey]

YASSS! Thank you! Wagons >>>>> SUVs

[@ewwmin3m]

Wagons are the best sleepers :P, you guys should do a review of an s4 wagon b6/b7 ? the dream car right there (especially in manual)

[@Elusive25]

TheStraightPipes I'm torn between SUV and pick-ups. Now the wagons are coming back :-(

[@shreyjain98]

Genuinely went to the video settings when it pixelated.

[@YuriTereshyn]

i used youtube's exact compression algorithm haha

[@tirekicker100]

Me as well 😂

[@gurvaaz1703]

@@YuriTereshyn lmao, thats alot of effort, but thas why we watch

[@nocorruptreligion]

Changing the auto industry one sun visor at a time.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yes

[@shahulhusman]

I wish we got this is the United States.. C43 wagon especially

[@harrismi7]

The interior of this and other Mercedes is very nice which should be expected for the price. I like that wood trim on the console and dash with the thin metal edges. Its great that Yuri always finds the problems with the tech features and points them out, it lets people know that all this technology is not without faults. I never realized the ability to rewind satellite radio existed until I started watching your reviews. I thought my car was slick when it would remember 10 favorite songs and alert you when they come on; its so 2015...lol. Also, your influence on extendable visors cannot be overlooked!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+harrismi7 haha thanks!

[@YuriTereshyn]

about that tech

[@realone941]

My biggest complaint about the new (usa) 2018 c class is that they dont offer the burmeister sound system with the premium package like they did with my 2015 c300. I had a 2018 loaner with the base sound system like the one in this video and its awful. They should have left the burmeister standard with premium package as its one of the best sound systems ive heard in a car and you should never buy a c class without it. Its such a huge difference and I would hands down get rid of satellite radio in lieu of the burmeister system.

[@ΜιχάληςΤΖ-ν7δ]

Station Wagons are LOVE

[@ZiiN20]

I literally checked my resolution in KZbin settings when you guys did the 120 p thing 😂

[@YuriTereshyn]

hahaha

[@Barobran92]

With the bigger AMG wheels in white pearl with tinted windows, this would be gorgeous, I love Mercedes wagons!

[@brybrysofly4093]

You guys are frickin amazing!!! I’ve watched all of your videos and was amped for the upload. Great review! I’m not the biggest wagon fan but I can’t help but watch for your guys thorough review. Keep up the awesome work and 100k subs (and beyond) are on the horizon!!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks!

[@elekktrik_0339]

The best thing about your reviews is that you guys aren't arrogant and are really down to earth. Just 2 friends having fun reviewing cars, doing what they love. Subscribed 😊

[@TheStraightPipes]

We're just dudes :)

[@Boomer.Roberts]

I'm so early! I'm getting addicted to this channel

[@notsaeed]

Boomer Roberts I like your name

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Early to what?

[@benjaminsmith2287]

I'm glad to hear you talk of normal drivers vs. enthusiasts. Also mention there is but so much power a normal person needs in a car. I think around 300 in a say 4000 pound car is enough. You just really need it to enter the highway and accelerate out of trouble. From that point on, livability is the most important thing to most drivers. We vary in terms of dynamic quality we crave and hardly ever put to use. This Mercedes is a Mercedes. European cab (in diesel form) and very livable in a stoic, Germanic way.

[@zmanqx4]

LOL that 120p bit actually made me check my internet connect. This is why I have trust issues.

[@krugerdave]

Yaaay wagons! I'm doing my part :-) Great review, as always! And 100k subs is so close I can smell it!

[@thomascain8839]

I hope Mercedes brings this to the states later this year... I have been dying for an E400 Wagon but can't seem to justify the cost... A baby E400 Wagon would be amazing!!

[@seventyNG]

The camerawork you guys present is seriously next-level.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks

[@YuriTereshyn]

TurkeyJerky id say it’s the bare minimum that it should be at.

[@angelomercs389]

I'm from a third world country, Philippines, and can't even buy a car, but I still watch their videos. Just so entertaining

[@YESHTOFU]

This is my favorite car channel. Y'all are so fun and do such great videography.

[@nabilm2941]

Wagon over a sedan 👍

[@markmozer3340]

Nabil M but why tho? It makes look fat the car

[@nabilm2941]

Márk Mózer it's more practical, sleeker, unique, and a rare scene on the road.

[@stillnottellingyoumyname8193]

Nabil M When a wagon is done right, wagon over everything. When its not, sedan

[@CarsofGlasgow]

Wagon is neat, I have a video of the current C class as a diesel manual Wagon if you want to check it out? :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJLThoGKpLaFsM0

[@appallingacceleration1134]

You got me with the sudden video quality change. That was great.

[@YuriTereshyn]

benz got me with the sudden infotainment change too!

[@appallingacceleration1134]

I'll be honest, I couldn't tell on the close up of the infotainment, I'm sure it's much more noticeable in person. Or I'm just really daft, that's always a possibility.

[@davidschau2719]

8:29 For opening the trunk electrically you just put your foot shortly underneath it. Don't wave your foot! But in general very good review guys. Keep it up!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+David Schauss oops. Used to other manufacturers

[@jhrk4279]

Such a nice wagon. The only other wagon I'd want beside this is a V60 Polestar.

[@rosswallace2969]

Another great one. Bring back the wagons!

[@MrWhynotnowtoday]

I just bought the C Wagon and i had the GLC . What a joy to drive the Wagon compared to the GLC

[@devindran2021]

Guess the whole automotive world will soon follow the advise from you guys on the visor test. Soon can patent the test under The Straight Pipes copyright.

[@NeutralGenericUser]

I loved the intro scene with the city in the background and cool music. Awesome video as usual. You guys are killing it!

[@YuriTereshyn]

should we do more city videos? jakub hates the street lights but I like the scenery

[@TheStraightPipes]

I really like cliché corner

[@NeutralGenericUser]

Absolutely do more city videos! P.S. I know you guys will be at the auto show on Wednesday and Thursday, but what time?? I'd love to get a chance to say hi to you guys :)

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thursday all day

[@maxmillion125]

I really enjoy your videos, at first when the video quality went bad i was WTF I thought my internet speeds went bad or something! Plus aweseome random fact about the whole MB front headlight fact, I love that and you guys should do it for every review!

[@4wrestling]

The Elantra to Mercedes cut was really nicely done

[@danI43541]

And right now they released the facelift :D wagons are the best!

[@seankayn]

For the lift gate, if you just kick your and pull back quickly instead of waving your foot across, it opens instantly 100% of the time.

[@arrowshot3000]

You guys and Doug dropping wagon videos at the same time. Is this heaven?

[@GriffinWiebel]

At 3:54 I was legit wondering if my Internet was shutting down.

[@YuriTereshyn]

that's how i felt while using the infotainment on the benz

[@joshuagassmann1694]

Yuri Tereshyn you really aren't gonna let that go are you? Lol

[@YuriTereshyn]

Joshua Gassmann no way man.

[@jwrarmstrong]

Even a C43 would be welcome. Honestly the BMW 3 series wagon is better looking but, thanks to the BMW Options Game, is about 8 grand more feature for feature. Now my last four cars were BMW's including a 328i wagon but this thing is most likely to be my next one. P.S. Every July I watch the Tour de France on TV. Not really into bike racing, just love seeing all those wagons we can't get over here. Wagon Geek.

[@e91kiter2]

Mercedes Wagon, Volvo Wagon, VW Wagon...... now we just need a BMW and Audi Wagon review to have a definitive comparison.

[@mrv6159]

That intro bois! Awesome!

[@mov744]

Haha, love the editing! What I don't love though, is that infotainment screen. It looks like it's an afterthought during the design process. And it's not touchscreen! 😂

[@mattyp6908]

Just literally today Doug Demuro did a review on the 2018 Mercedes AMG E63 Wagon, strange coincidence.

[@mattmccegan8018]

It's pretty apparent that these guys did mad research before they put out this video. Really cool guys.. I think them and KBB are my favs for just watching a simple car video.. TBH Micah just carries the whole KBB videos... and Motortrend does a lot of stuff other than just a car review ... so it's not a really fair comparison.... overall great job TheStraightPipes ....

[@TheStraightPipes]

We try

[@evdb7246]

YES!!!!!!.....More Wagons. Love, Love, Love this.

[@CarsofGlasgow]

I agree! I have a video on the C class diesel Wagon in manual if interested?

[@blitzbbffl]

I can't believe that you two did a review, but never talked about that funky steering column mounted shifter. To me, it's the single show stopper on the C Class.

[@YuriTereshyn]

oh that's a lot of benz, you get use to it quick

[@TheStraightPipes]

+blitzbbffl you get used to it very quickly. It's weird at first. Like Lincoln's thing too

[@pnwautocar5291]

Huge Mercedes Fan. Dream car is an E-Class wagon. Also side note, I have always wanted a Mercedes-Benz watch that matched the clock in my car.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Watch our upcoming E63S wagon video 😉

[@pnwautocar5291]

YES! Much excite!

[@kayakkevin]

I have a feeling you knew the door was going to close.... also OF COURSE A GERMAN SHEPHERD WILL GO INTO A MERCEDES

[@YuriTereshyn]

but if it didn't close we'd call it an 8 :P

[@cakeisalie]

same time with Doug's review of the higher version

[@drdpetrie]

You guys are great! Awesome back and fourth with great content and really quality reviews that aren't generic. Keep up the great content! Also awesome you guys are based in the GTA!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks!

[@topsycretomega]

Wagons are the only vehicle for me ✨

[@CarsofGlasgow]

I have a C class diesel manual wagon review if keen Sean? :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJLThoGKpLaFsM0

[@JazeebAbdul97]

6:14 “It’s called Dark Ass wood” 😂🤣 OMG Jakub lisps 😂🤣

[@jordanh.2998]

You got me with the 120p part. I went to check the auto resolution setting...

[@youtubekangxi48]

Man ! Makes me miss Toronto ! Now review a 330i wagon guys!

[@Mateo12485]

Daddy Doug did the E63S Wagon today. Bad timing on the upload, he’s gonna steal the views

[@YuriTereshyn]

he can't steal views from us if we never had them to begin with!

[@TheStraightPipes]

It'll help us if anything haha

[@jerro95]

You guys had me at the 120p resolution. I thought I was having a buffering issue.

[@YinLungTsang]

LOOOOOL that was so awesome of you lowering the resolution of the video that made me laugh so hard.

[@jsnadrian]

The Mercedes C300 Wagon: It's not that bad.

[@willlambert6375]

Man I love your reviews, I love the in-depth yet quick, love it

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Dumbasses Unleashed thanks

[@sonstnichtszutun1383]

The Mercedes C-class is the 3th most sold car in germany 👍🏽

[@CarsofGlasgow]

probably after the A class and the E class?

[@mostafarashed9524]

Luxury wagon with turbo.... if only I had the money! Solid review as usual guys #NotificationGANG

[@roboovero78]

Yesss, the only three words I ever want to hear! Luxury station wagon. On the Volvo vs Benz design topic, I entirely agree with Yuri. I think Mercedes designs get dated quickly. Doesn't mean the old ones don't age like fine wine, though!

[@YuriTereshyn]

Brittany Overton exactly

[@prahalove1488]

Come on Yuri. That is one beautiful wheels. Haha. German wagon is always right choice. Beautiful car and amazing review.

[@YuriTereshyn]

i didn't say they were bad, just not anything special to me

[@tracybaldridge2060]

I have to say, I watch a lot of car review videos but rarely comment. Occasionally I'll give a thumbs up or down. You guys get a thumbs up, 2 comments, and subscription from me. Your videos are very informative while still being entertaining! You don't have long awkward pauses...Love. I don't think I'll buy the C300 wagon over the sedan (just some bad stigma, worse than a van-which I do currently drive 😂) but I kept watching the video because it was that good.❤️

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks so much!

[@tracybaldridge2060]

No problem! :)

[@oneobjective5448]

Holy crap the 120p part was amazing...so meta

[@kensherwood4866]

Another informative fun review. Great to watch as ever. I have a 2017 European E class estate (wagon) with the black ash trim, I always assumed it was plastic as in everyone I've seen the grain seems to be identical. I went outside to check the graphics issue you mention, now its irking me too....The best way to get the tailgate to open is to kick forward and back not side to side.

[@miguelangelcordon2530]

Love wagons. Love turbos.

[@IAmAPhan]

I like that you're having fun with your video production. #240pmode

[@yywoshizhuheng]

Great Video as always!!! Please do a C43 Wagon this fall. Finally it's coming to Canada. Im think trade my c43 Sedan for a c43 Wagon for family needs!!

[@M0oMo0Man]

Man, Yuri's editing is so clean every video, that Mercedes watch looked real. Plus when the video went to 120p I got genuinely triggered, I think I agree the infotainment graphics would annoy me too

[@TheStraightPipes]

We both edit everything. Yuri gets full credit for the effects though

[@M0oMo0Man]

TheStraightPipes Oh my bad haha Yuri always talks about the special effects so I assumed he did it all, you guys both have awesome editing

[@TheStraightPipes]

Everyone loves the special effects, including me. It gets talked about much more haha

[@wisdomntshalintshali3296]

If you guys gave a course on how to do auto reviews I think I would buy it

[@CanadianTreeFiddy]

Great Video to watch alongside dougs! Great video guys

[@TheStraightPipes]

Right on

[@siddharthchowdaryvunnam525]

I recently saw Jerryrigeverything do a video on the A class launch, and it had OLED display!! 😁

[@papayacheng]

they should put HUD as a standard equipment or in vision pack ( glass roof + LED head lamp + HUD)

[@jasonrego6855]

That is real wood...Mercedes-Benz only uses real wood for their trim on this car with the exception of the piano black finish. Again great review and thank you for bringing up my issue with this info screen where the top menu covers over the bottom menu...urgh.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Correct

[@jasonrego6855]

TheStraightPipes plus you forgot another pet peeve...where the heck is the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?!?!?!?!

[@endautrestermes]

Nice to see you guys also like hard buttons, this all to touch screens is such a hazard

[@cookingwithheisenberg2968]

Just found your channel, and really enjoy your banter...keep up the good boys!

[@nf1369]

Great review!! Funny...... that same song you guys used at the beginning was actually used by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team to reveal the new sound of their 2018 car. I knew it sounded familiar. XD

[@YuriTereshyn]

Navid F send the link!

[@nf1369]

Yuri Tereshyn Haha sure!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/apqUlKCXfaZ2qJY

[@TheStraightPipes]

That's crazy. Total coincidence!!! We hadn't seen that video until now

[@Anthony-l5p5u]

I like the upload consistency 😀

[@TheStraightPipes]

3 this week!

[@patricembabazi1219]

Yeeeeeeeees a wagon finally

[@scottishfanta]

Thank god! they got rid of those daft fake exhausts!

[@bwest6275]

Mercedes Wagons are gorgeous, this being no exception. A bummer that with $10k in options, it still has the base audio system though.

[@Bader.mobarak]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISS!!!

[@ElectronikReviews]

I hate the chrome lip! Other than that I agree with everything you guys said

[@sneaky6ix]

Orange and blue are complimentary colours.. like red/green and yellow/purple; not contrasting. I love the car though ; -)

[@SDav21]

I agree with Jakub. They never look dated. They look great even after many years especially the new design and those before the the previous sharper designs. For example the W211 E Class from 2003 onwards has aged so well because of its smooth and graceful lines. The current E Class was be the same. But the previous E Class with the separate square lights became dated very quickly. Smooth designs age much much better. This generation of S Class didn't even need a facelift to be honest and neither does this C Class (facelift coming end of year apparently).

[@TheStraightPipes]

Completely agree with you on the square headlight E class looking dated. The rest are great

[@matthiasmuller5173]

Nice review, nice car. The 2018 Version makes a lot better than the older ones. I drove my c-class (2015) now over 120.000km and the interior looks and feels nearly new. The negative side of the car is the real. Only for kids :) in a few weeks i will change to a Volvo S90. More space in the rear and i do not need a wagon again. Change a stylish and very comfortable car with an other more stylish car. Hope the quality is Merc like.

[@kdog18ful]

Oh wow had me thinking my WiFi was messing up on the video lol

[@bjcliving386]

FYI.. I test drove a new vw and asked them specifically for an extendable sun visor just for you :) :)

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yesssssssss

[@siddharthchowdaryvunnam525]

Next time you guys should try pulling Indian accent when doing a Jag or Range video..😆😂🤣

[@blitz367]

Quality as always. Keep it Up!

[@millipekmez577]

i cant wait for you guys to get older and start loving auto transmissons more with every passing year :P

[@YuriTereshyn]

milli pekmez Jakub’s already there

[@millipekmez577]

enjoy your manuels while you still can. (plays dramatic-horror music in the background)

[@TheCookiemonster0430]

Yuri, your video editing skills is very impressive. Really good to see video editor and a car reviewer combining the skills together. Something that im interested in

[@YuriTereshyn]

TheCookiemonster0430 also camera man.

[@TheStraightPipes]

We do everything

[@WikedTechniQz]

Another Great review!!

[@debrisbit]

the rear cup holders are retractable without needing to hit the latch on top. just push in.

[@YuriTereshyn]

debrisbit hmmmm will attempt next time!

[@losinator501]

You guys should check out the A4 allroad, very similar features but Audi styling instead of Mercedes :)

[@ashrafc7794]

I like the design, but have you guys seen the new A-Class Hatchback??! OMG, that car's gonna be a hit up here

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yeah I saw it, love it

[@tracybaldridge2060]

LOL about the extendable sun visors!!
