Gorgeous design, completely agree with your take

[@benzclan63]

Very nice, the design is perfect, great review.

[@kaumohlamonyane272]

The 2l transition wasn't wise in my opinion, I am saying this as a Merc fan boy.

[@Alex-fm2pn]

I mean you and everyone else could buy one right now but nobody felt propelled to do so. I doubt anybody argued for the 2.0l but the sales statistics just tells us the truth now. I’m still convinced all the registered 2024 C63s are press cars, rentals or some guys with to much money that didn’t get the memo

[@retroflash-fv1iu]

na vdd na c43 foi um grande acerto. eu acho que besteira foi levar esse motor logo pra c63. foi um downsize muito brusco. acho que se fosse mais leve, se ele trocasse o v8 pelo i6 e-performance nao seria tao negativo assim a recepcao da c63.

[@kaumohlamonyane272]

@@Alex-fm2pn True, I heard that they'll revert to the V8 on some of the cars. There was no way this would pass, it was a bit too soon.

[@purplex_purple7717]

I’m glad you’re getting reviews for cars. Congratulations

[@joakimquensel597]

It's a nice looking car, but the previous model W205 is one of my overall favorite modern Mercedes designs with those beautiful rear lights. And with the AMG versions you got a 6cyl (C43) or even V8 (C63) engine. Interior quality however is not on pair with E-class, this W206 is probably better (even though this one had issues with rattles).

[@ologmcnoleg2487]

Great review. I've had mine for 3 months. This is my first Merc, I've always had 6 Cylinder German cars (BMW, Audi, Porsche). I really don't notice it's 4 Cylinder. I don't have any rattles in the cabin, but the transmission does get smoother when it's warmed up. Overall I'm happy with it.

[@alainprevost5374]

The interior design and ambient lightning looks damn gooooood

[@Peperonsski]

I think with this and no v8 in the c63 this might even be the better option

[@furiousdragon2007]

It's a beautiful car with simple and purposeful lines. Would love to see a review of the 2017 Mercedes CLS, it's got a similar feel but with the sloping roof.😁

[@noahjefferies9469]

Mercedes needs to win a design award for the best designed steering wheel

[@nohkotlarek4553]

yes, this is clean

[@namechecksout6300]

M340i is a better buy, imo.

[@deathmark1940]

For sure plus its way to reliable plus tune potential

[@serz1885]

Rear light is f up. if they would make it bigger it would be perfoect . + if they would make boot entrance lofer with out this lip but like they doing for estate it would be straight away mrore user friendly and perfect car

[@sirmounted8499]

2 liter four banger, that's disappointing.. at least give it a straight six

[@docjohng]

Reviews have commented on the insipid turbo lag, especially in stop-and-go traffic making for a very jerky experience. Did you experience any of that? Also, I read where even comfort setting, the suspension is about as comfortable as a rock.... Is there any comfort to be had in this model??

good price only 72k$ for the 2024 year, Because in Israel we will get some 2017-8 and not even AMG from the factory..with the same price.

[@timothykresko1984]

Yes

[@stormrider01]

The design is good, the drivetrain is not good. So I would buy a C 200 and be happy.

[@whz6ka]

Lol Mercedes cars are known for creaky plastic interiors. I rented the previous gen c class and it was nice to look at, the whole center console was so creaky.

[@carstenmadsen1365]

Its way too bubbely, its design 🤔

[@deathmark1940]

M340i better overall

[@z.k.r2615]

M340i all the way

No. It's just not. And I own a Merc

[@blackjack21477]

The rear end is so bad. The taillights resemble nothing a Mercedes should be. Looks like a cheap honda

[@geminithekid]

Agreed. The rear end always bothered me
