Family GO KART | Mercedes-AMG GLC 43

[@ACCELER8TV]

GLC, Macan, X3, Q5? Which German SUV would you buy?

[@leofekrudemeke]

MACAN FOR ME AND GLC FOR WIFE

[@nkhan4]

X340i, just as fun as the Macan for a reasonable price.

[@Abc1987]

X3 m40i get it before the 2025 “upgrade”

[@dash-ryan]

I was considering the new CLE53 and I was reconsidering this thought ... until I heard the creaking in this car. Nope.

[@dash-ryan]

BTW: did you know that Mercedes is now charging $5k for freight and PDI? That's ridiculous for something you'll never be able to recoup the cost on. It's like dumping $5k down the toilet. I've sent a complaint to Mercedes Canada. I have hope because my complaints to Volvo have worked (I own an XC90). Let's see ...

[@denzildjjohnson9979]

the ambient rain in the beginning was brilliant ... then going into the roar of the muffler 💯💯

[@jre617]

A GLC AMG 53 with the inline six would be the jam.

[@zkEVM_L2]

In my opinion one of the best looking Mercedes in the "more or less affordable" category, especially as Coupe 🚗

[@Ian-mv4qq]

I'd pick this over 2025 X3.

[@robertpawley5715]

I would love the AMG GLC 63; have seen reviews. Awesome

[@twfinc6855]

Had a 2022 GLC43 as a loaner while they replaced my E53 wagon hybrid battery (twice it was replaced in 6 months).. I liked it for the size, it was small, nimble, fun etc... but my loaner with only 20k on it was creaking and had some rattles that bugged me... It was no E class thats for sure.. I wouldnt buy one simply for this reason, rattles and squeaks bother me big time.

[@CapELarry]

My buddy had a C class of that same year. Think was a creaky rattle box. I was shocked. I’ve been in Hyundais that felt more solid. Throttle House talks a lot about the “creaky wood” they use for trim.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Yeah creaks @ 17:51

[@Hi-how-are-you-today.]

Which E class has a hybrid battery or do you mean the 48V system battery?

[@twfinc6855]

@@Hi-how-are-you-today. E53 has it.

[@Hi-how-are-you-today.]

Very good quality footage! I'm subscribed.

[@kace2852]

14:40 this big thing moves like a freaking GLA woww

[@ianlatham2975]

Fun to watch an 8 year old reviewing cars. Thankfully Ian seems to help keep things under control (and help with pronunciation).

[@bulolo_wilber]

2:08 ABSOLUTELY hilarious with the jiggle. Mike is always full of surprises. Guys please subscribe and share these videos, we need more content like this on YT

[@jeffs6090]

I'll take the coupe version please!!

[@mckylecfc]

Great review! Had fun listening to the sport+ noises. The 43's are hella fun for sure. Can't wait to buy one once it's depreciated enough to be in my range ($40k) lollll.

[@Blake-wk4nx]

Great channel guys keep up the great work 😊

[@rayshinn1]

my previous car was a 2018 C43 my current car is a 2022 GLC..I like them both equally for the uniqueness it brings and this could be the compromise I need for my next car!

[@JeremyEads-collectiv-masculine]

Fast enough to go get groceries what else does it need to do really nice SUV really nice .

[@musamusa2961]

Thank God I will buy one for myself

[@kace2852]

11:35 bro for realll 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the engineers DEFINETELY forgot to put the USBC port there because they do that for all their other cars lol

[@lucasrocha633]

The main problem with the Mercedes GLC43, C63, and all new models is their 2.0L engines. What did you do, Mercedes? WTF! No one can consider a hybrid 2.0L + electric engine in an expensive car (AMG). Changing to a 3.0L hybrid would be an improvement..

[@kace2852]

3:14 no freaking wayyy

[@albertomaderajr1990]

The fact that you can't adjust your seat ect for that price is crazy especially compared to the competition

[@WIPEYOURLENZ]

And also you can’t charge the kids phone in the back or plug in a DVD player 🤯

[@RnldsWrap]

What's a DVD? ​@@WIPEYOURLENZ

[@abuyousif5942]

is this as much fun as the gla amg? besides all the practicality and price etc... is the fun the same?

[@jzy0104]

There is a bolster control. Its in the comfort app in settings

[@Strictlybusiness79]

I test drove the GLC and thought I would like it but I agree with size and the creeking. Mercedes seems to try and overshadow build quality with tech and ambient lighting. For the price, I would choose SQ5 at 10G’s less or X3M40i for 4-5 thousand less. Mercedes = 💄 on a 🐷

[@JeremyEads-collectiv-masculine]

That rear though

[@TheCJUN]

Hey guys, You need to test the new XC90 facelift/refresh. Will be presented this coming week by Volvo. There are some leaked pictures out today.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Will do!!

[@ks-vq5er]

XC90 is too old. It’s already 8 years old…

[@twfinc6855]

@@ks-vq5er he did say "new" XC90

[@JeremyEads-collectiv-masculine]

Ol pops had a GLC back in 83 it was a merc no no MAZZZZDA LOL

[@Johndl1988]

😂 I had an 83 Mazda Glc also I forgot about that car It had a sunroof you had to wind the crank to open it. No power windows either 😂 I think it was a manual 4-5 speed not sure how many gears

[@bulolo_wilber]

4:35 Those 295s are wider than the Genesis GV80 which gets 265. Imagine how much meaner atleast the coupe SUV would look with 295s too

[@minniesaab7255]

❤ it!

[@rdrrua]

Not a Family Go KART, just Family Golf (2.0 inline-4 turbo) :D

[@Simon-lk1um]

Which is better? GLC 43 AMG or X4 M40i

[@LuckyDevilJames]

I would rather pick an X3M than this. The interior exhaust sound from what I recall is synthetic😅

[@islesfan24]

These 4 cylinder AMG’s are getting out of hand

[@negreen2003]

😍😍😍

[@netsecurityregulator]

i think people need to start driving real sports cars again before reviewing a midsize suv and calling it a sports car

[@chrisdominator3552]

time to go BOLD... you have no hair and look funny now LOL

[@olivermboya3857]

It's a 4 cyl🫠 where the 6 at

[@ACCELER8TV]

Gone 😭

[@dash-ryan]

The USB charging ports for the rear passengers is a $298 option. I mean, really??

[@torsung81]

It took Mercedes only one generation to go from having some of the best interiors to the worst, it's almost fascinating.

[@jackjaqjackjaq]

Can someone please explain to me why there is no rear window tinting in the GLC but there is in the GLE and up? Is there a logical reason? At least in the US this is the case.

[@ACCELER8TV]

We found out that it’s no longer certified as a “light truck” because its ride height is lower than the previous generation. So they don’t tint the rear now.

[@jackjaqjackjaq]

@@ACCELER8TV thank you for explaining that! I’ve always wondered. Wow, I wonder how much taller it would need to be to not be considered a “passenger car.” With all of the vehicle cameras now you’d think the visibility safety standards would be reevaluated.

[@Saitama_Editz_1]

FIRST PIN 📌

[@MaxxKoggen]

Definitely this over the X3 but the X5 M60 over the GLE

[@twfinc6855]

its a rattly shitbox. I would never own one. the X3 40i felt better quality. New GLE 53 will be over 500 hp.. that should be nice.. Unfortunately the difference between a C class and a E class is vast as I found out owning a E class wagon..

[@JeremyEads-collectiv-masculine]

Ahhhhhhhhaaaaaa rear steer ok

Love your channel. I think someone said on another video that you guys are kind of douchey, but a good kind of douchey. I have to agree. Definitely like the format, the presentation style and the editing / color pallet of the videos are amazing. Humor is on point too. Anyways, my kind of douchey. I’m subscribed to a lot of car channels and it’s overwhelming. I actually unsubscribed to Doug demuro to make room for you guys and subscribed to your channel instead. Keep up the great work, my favorite likable douches. 😂😂 I kid I kid. But seriously, I’m not kidding.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Good Bye Doug. Big shoes to fill! Hahah. Thanks for the love man. Welcome to the show!

[@ryans7097]

I was interested in this model since I really like the design but... Benz interiors look and feel incredibly cheap to me the last few years. I think the thing I can't get down with even more so now is they option you to death on every single thing on their cars now, especially for stuff that is standard for almost every other company. I wonder why sales continue to decline for them? 🤔

[@albertomaderajr1990]

The step needs to go only thing i don't like

[@jre617]

Overall, the styling of the GLC is much cleaner than the BMW X3. BMW styling has become a real mess in recent years. I like the RWD proportions of this, but am sick of the giant fake intake nostrils. There are many details I'd do differently. I dislike the lack of physical controls inside. At this price, cast aluminum switches/knobs would be lux, not more goddam laptop screens. Love the info screen sweeping up from the console, but I wish the IP was in a binnacle. Wish the vents were aluminum, not plastic. Why aren't the rear windows tinted? Wish the audio upgrade was a stand-alone option (like on X3). An AMG should show off polished aluminum bits under the hood; instead we get a cheap looking plastic cover. The switch from a V6 to this four did not really result in much better mpg. 25 mpg on a freeway cruise is not great. It's a lot of money.

[@olegbalashov5675]

They went down from 3 liter engine to 2 liter engine - no, thanks. I'd rather stick to X3M Competition with outdated interior.

[@JJ-pp6tz]
