"The Mercedes B-Class is a compact MPV with a difference - it has a premium badge on the bonnet. In theory it's up against models like the Volkswagen Golf Plus, Ford C-MAX and Toyota Verso, but it's considerably more expensive, more luxurious and higher quality than all of those."

[@hansslotboom2855]

My fourth MB. Would never have bought it, my father did. After he died, I took it for sentimental reasons. Now I love it. Great car, economically, good space, quiet relaxing drive. Love you dad, you made great choices.

[@johngrieve2868]

I am just about to get my dads one

[@irGuilty]

Mercedes really do understand how to make any type of car good looking

[@RoobehTunes]

2:02 You can't hide that edit from me!

[@alfi4you]

a very well spoken women, pleasant to the ear, its like watching a movie in a very high definition mode.

[@shroomyesc]

Did she mean small upmarket MPV, cause she said SUV.

[@ChristD69]

Very great car of monospace! I love this classe B

[@TurWack]

I use to get excited when carbuyer uploads; now they just make boring reviews. Even matt has lost his magic

[@teenracer16657]

No he hasn't, this one.. you know.

[@TurWack]

***** no. I don't know. You made no sense whatsoever. Please.. Explain.

[@teenracer16657]

TurWack well let's just say that ginny is crap and matt is decent.

[@TurWack]

***** not anymore. Like I said, matt has lost his magic

[@shax232]

TurWack Same here

[@bruceh6900]

such a good review, with style

[@whani27]

Wow this is the best review, straight forward and high class.. Love it

[@migfed]

why is so important cupholder for the brits!!! Do they have breakfast in the car while driving?

[@massenannicolas]

i wonder the same hahaha

[@gwiondavies4909]

Yes we actually do lmao. Always eating toast and having tea in a mug on my way to work lol

[@beeryweery]

Yes

[@Birmingham_racing]

No but we have a bottle of coke on a hot day

[@pauljackson112]

Narrow, winding roads everywhere. With lots of pot holes. Have to keep things secure! 😂

[@RetroGamerVX]

You could have cleaned the steering wheel before filming, looks like somebody's sneezed all over it!!! ;o)

[@Keisha7612]

😅😂

[@RetroGamerVX]

I was being more classy ;)

[@meliciazoabli]

omg I thought I was the only who noticed that.....

[@mrlooneycooney8948]

hahaha good 1!

[@BeastModeMTB]

Brilliant!

[@bryanloh6963]

Can your do a review on the mercesdes s400l

[@DaDanishMingebag]

Did she just call it an SUV?

[@AristotelisMitsiou]

WingeBag Yep she did.

[@AristotelisMitsiou]

Firemarioflower Alright, after playing it in 0.5 speed, she says "the small..." rather than "this small...". But she needs to speak a bit more clearly because, in the same 0.5 speed, SUV sounds like "esh-u-vee".

[@AristotelisMitsiou]

Firemarioflower Ahum... that's what I was saying now.

[@AristotelisMitsiou]

Firemarioflower She mumbles her words in the beginning especially. I can understand why everyone's confused.

[@AristotelisMitsiou]

Firemarioflower I guess so.

[@mrlooneycooney8948]

Great review , and the best thing about Mercedes...their secondhand-programs...for half the money, low milage and today with brussels autosalon with 4y warranty! I just love Mercedes!

[@Gasoam]

I like Ginny. Her voice is smooth and you can understand everything she's saying. I remember when videos with Rebecca were full of dumb comments as well in the start....

[@rahulmaharaj7019]

Great review as always. Thanks Carbuyer

[@valterp6100]

best review i've seen

[@gegwen7440]

Its clear that you have not seen the vid from High Peak Auto's then.

[@Raprada]

Why does carbuyer always put Air Conditioning as standard features? I thought every modern car now comes with that

[@ipawdutube]

***** Nope. Look at some base model Corsas etc. They don't come with it standard.

[@MrDchino]

***** Sadly its not standard on all cars still. I'm pretty sure that most of Dacia's line up has A/C as an optional extra

[@erikaweber_]

Not all models have reverse camera though - mine doesn't. Well, maybe in Canada it's a different config

[@deepakrohella]

do some cars not come with air con as standard.

[@biggib8]

What is that bar across the boot behind the back seats?

[@amercer89]

Just to inform you carbuyer that the links for the ford and BMW are the same both take you to the ford c max review

[@infernovideo]

Does anyone know what the ground clearance is on the none AMG B class is? Thanks

[@_V_N_]

"Feels a little bit strange at first.. but you get used to it sooo quickly.." heh heh heh

[@kevinleeht]

Much prefer Matt's reviews where we get the full pros and cons of the car while this lovely lady talks like she is selling mercedes. No mention about how much more road noise B class tend to have over other merc models, rides tend to be more on the firm side, slight bodyroll around corners but great visibility all around the car and how easy it is to get in and out of the car. I would have gotten the same from simply watching the video and muting the sound.

[@ivanm8430]

It would be better that review is with most common level of equipment, and showing how big people fit in here...

[@danmccarthy4700]

The one thing that kept going through my mind as I watched this is the amount of electronics that will no doubt go wrong... I've spent almost 4 grand on my Merc over the past 2 years, all due to wonky electronics.

[@Anemonyy]

Dan McCarthy let me guess... it's an S-Class from the 90s :D

[@danmccarthy4700]

'01 SLK230.

[@Anemonyy]

Dan McCarthy well that is even worse! Electronics aren't unreliable nowdays

[@razvanciurez]

Mercedes quality, Mercedes reliability? Where?

[@kossak007]

Leo Nidas In the W123 and W124...

[@razvanciurez]

kossak007 Oh yes, I couldn't agree more, Mercedes should take a look in the past...

[@Fetii]

kossak007 Those were some real cars.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Leo Nidas don't forget the W126

[@ZhuKang1]

I have driven B200 Cdi until almost 200,000 KM. It is very reliable. No any problem at all !

[@SebastianTurkalj]

Get your description right, Carbuyer

[@filmcrowdDE]

Glovebox?

[@kwengface1185]

This is a car for a Prince 😍

[@chuk90]

I assume this is a 2015 model(w246), but she said that the basic models have reverse camera. I have a 2012 model but the revsering camera is not included :C

[@africansavagekd1]

:(

[@cosmosquiggg]

What's the point of a sports package for a MPV? Owning an MPV doesn't make you a loser, it just says you got small kids. But owning MPV with AMG-styling pack does make you look ridiculous.

[@bradleyk2553]

how can it be more spacious than before? It was just a very mild facelift

[@Chogie14]

She does it all the time!!! Minx

[@theun-personing5674]

I prefer a kuga with the demin line to be honest

[@vasileroman5820]

It’s a very good car and you should buy it by sport!

[@barrydavidgaudry4050]

Why review the range but only show the top-line model. Gives a false impression of the car

[@kuraishajan8730]

Her voice adorable and sweet

[@younessarriade2960]

Where is the extrat wheel?? I can not see it? .. Thanks

[@gwiondavies4909]

Youness Arriade most mercedi come with foam tire filler so that the punctured tire can still drive as the foam covers the hole and seals it

[@lewisharley4752]

Did she really compare it to a sls! And she called it a SUV and didn't show glove box! Bad review

[@Sumaira-on5sg]

Hi I’m going to buying b class 2014 plz let me know if this car is good ???

[@thelarami7876]

Me too Did you buy it? If you did, do you like it?

[@Randze]

The front window is huge

[@cmagennis927]

Since when was the B Class an SUV? Mercedes Benz themselves always classed it as a MAV.

[@GultekinCOSAR]

I liked tis Mercdes Benz model very much. I wish I will own this model. I advise You Mercdes Benz cars. Becaus eof the production Quality.

[@patrickpahalage3017]

how long does it take to charge?

[@playerzoma]

i like her a lot!!

[@robertblake8609]

SUV??

[@lairhab]

i wonder what would be ginny's thoughts if she were to read your comments. like,c'mon guys, we're here to watch a car review, not a porn shag. the "storage section" part of the video, back then with rebecca, was really weird if you'd ask me (yeah, the banana storage thing - like she couldn't find any better object for scale; IMO she deliberately chose it for more sex appeal. there, i said it). give ginny some credit, she's reviewing cars like she's supposed to do.

[@therohant05]

Tyre size

[@AnthonyDunn93]

How can BMW and Mercedes justify the relative lack of flexibility in these cars. Citroen has been doing this car since the nineties?

[@johnsyker317]

I'm 6ft4 can I fit in too drive the vehicle

[@africansavagekd1]

john skywalker?

[@JohnyMcNeal]

"even the basic model have air conditioning..." Well ofc they are gonna have it in 2015 and in a Mercedes...

[@Sanpedranoazul]

I think the exterior should be changed for once, this model has been out for soooooooo long!

[@jainjohnson6624]

Rebecca where are you?. We all miss you.

[@miszamichal4944]

Nice

[@simon199418]

Car has very little ground clearance for an MPV

[@abstractabir4674]

The side mirrors and back lights doesn’t look good

[@enkidu001]

you've got the wheel on the wrong side, lady. Complain! (hugs from EU :) )

[@swb7226]

I like this lady but something is missing in this review Yup it's not a full review

[@mixhael6609]

Woman where are the vital statistics? Speed, consumption, braking distance, acceleration....?

[@alianisz]

The Rims look so cheap. Why make every car on the road look like its ready to go on track when people hardly ever do so because of the expenses involved? Money making tricks.

[@BirdiesGoCherp]

This car's electronics aren't good. Speaking from experience. Airbag malfunctions that the dealership can't fix, lighting issues, various other electric issues.

[@BirdiesGoCherp]

@@tds9058 ours is the same model year, 2012 B200 Exclusive trim. Bunch of failing electronics/shock absorbers.

[@sarahjanekilsby6245]

all u down below are just keyboard warriors.. the car is lovely and I am planning on getting 1 😁

[@robertsinkonde7145]

Did you get any of the b class I want to hear your experience I want one too

[@allankobanawa9204]

@@robertsinkonde7145 I got an used B250 AMG package with 26,000km.. very spacious and smooth! Practical and decent fuel economy around 8.5L/100Km.. i chose to have power over economy, but the ideal balance in terms of fuel economy and power is the B200. Great turning circle for city driving and very comfy on long cruises. Great visibility with the seating position and so far no problem whatsoever. Only thing I’d like to change is the run flat tires to make the ride slightly softer but still got heaps of thread so might take a while. The gear box sometimes is “lazy” when accelerating slowly to try to maximize fuel economy, but not a deal breaker. If you floor it in sports mode then the car comes alive! Hope my review is useful.

[@robertsinkonde7145]

@@allankobanawa9204 thanks alot for the feedback, the time I asked about this question I was about to buy the B200, but I was discouraged and I ended up buying latest Toyota vitz but still my heart wants a Mercedes Benz B-class, however with time I might change to Mercedes

Nikola Tesla it's a fact

[@greaney123]

+Nikola Tesla He knows exactly what he's talking about. They are crap cars.

[@Lucky8s]

Zla tan​ Are you seriously calling me childish when you're also calling people names? On a side note, most of the people who drive luxury cars are leasing them, so they don't experience many problems in their limited 3 year term. And if you wonder why luxury cars have more problems than regular ones, it's basically due to gadgetry. The interior of a S550 has 300 LEDs, yes, 300.

[@SolomonsWisdom]

That gal sittin on the wrong side of the car damn people God bless Merica

If this car would have a higher ground clearance it would had looked way better

What has happened to Mercedes quality? 1:30 A Golf has a better sounding door thud than that.

[@Olliebobalong]

Round Trip Umm know, it means it is a well built car. Volkswagen are well built in many other ways, but forged steel door hinges, quality catches and locks, good rubber seals and laser seem welding contributes as to why VW have a distinctive door thud that no other manufacture can match.

[@stunninglad1]

Yet another horrible colour. It looks its been primed and awaiting a paint job. I hate the wheels as they look ridiculous. It does nothing for me I'm afraid. The cup holder for rear passengers didn't swing the deal either!

And Mercedes is zero for reliability as the quality has gradually diminished, crap cars when it comes to reliability. It’s the badge and living on their past glory, newer cars are crap.
