Mercedes C-Class Coupe in-depth review - Carbuyer

Mercedes C-Class coupe review: carbyr.uk/1PqLHuQ
Watch our latest video: bit.ly/carbuyervideos
The Mercedes C-Class coupe is a classy rival for models such as the BMW 4 Series and Audi A5. It's a four-seater with a good sized boot, meaning it's surprisingly practical. Like the C-Class saloon, the coupe has a stunning interior that's loaded with technology. There's a choice of petrol or diesel engines, as well as AMG C43 and AMG C63 performance models.

ITS A COUPE. You expect the backseat to be spacious? Get the non-coupe then.

[@davidgomez9445]

omggg fr lmao they swear

[@jayh1096]

This guys a great reviewer, it'll be hard for anyone to replace Matt but this guy does a very good job which is a tall order.

[@chainblast2590]

Jay h he's getting the job done!

[@frywolf1817]

By god that is the sexiest Benz I've ever seen!

[@manny3332]

Trusssst!!!!!

[@maxmorris4562]

Yh for real I’m not sure whether to go for this or a Ford Focus

[@manny3332]

Max Morris really? Are you comparing the focus to the c class coupe? 😂 of course the Benz mate, If you can afford it, it’s no question!

[@maxmorris4562]

Mannan iqbal Yeah I know in just not sure weather to put lots of money into a Benz or save the money and go for the focus. I know the Benz is better but apparently the Focus is still pretty good to drive

[@manny3332]

Max Morris oh fairs 😂, but if you got the money pal, defo go for the Benz but if not focus is a nice small car, but personally I ain’t a big fan of it, I’d rather get like an Audi A3 or something

[@Incurablecurious]

Just got mine! Brand new 2017 C300 AMG Line Premium Plus Polar white with Night Pack styling! I love it! Lots of thumbs up!

[@kaushlendrasingh4960]

The engine in the C63 is a 4.0 litre V8 and not a 4.4 litre, otherwise a great review by a guy who is ridiculed so much and still comes back even better.

[@Mossboy16]

It does look particularly nice in AMG line trim 😍

[@chainblast2590]

Mossboy16 it is beautiful

[@67tomcat]

Beautiful car and good review.

[@Weeeui]

Thanks for the review ...I was waiting for it

[@Ambienfinity]

I'm not generally into this sort of car, but I love this motor. Great review - I'm very tempted by this Merc.

[@seanlovi8798]

Starting to like this guy's reviews.

[@sultanadnan]

Apart from mixing up on colour grading in-between shots. Good review.

[@ginoluxurymotorsport9460]

nice job and great car!

[@sirsavage667]

Is this a good first car to own? Is it practical also? I'm mostly out with my friends, most of them are around 6 foot pretty big guys do you think they could possibly comfortable fit in the back seats?

[@CityStays]

Getting mine next week!

[@YoshinyYo]

I think it is a good looking car, love it. but still can't afford it😥

[@chainblast2590]

Yoshiny Yo don't worry, work hard, hope, and stay determined, and anything is possible 😀

[@doublefault8850]

No matter what people say it is very hard to choose between this and its rivals from BMW and Audi . Each of them is just lovely and has its own character . Love this design and the smooth and silent cruising ability of this C class . I think of Bentley whenever i see a new A5 coupe . Very elegant and classy car that isn't for showy people yet will never feel dated as high tech is a given . The 4 series would be the one to make me smile as i drive it when i feel down yet it has comfortable cabin . Real problem is : one can afford just one .

[@jayx6766]

What mpg did you guys average, looking to buy this model, thanks.

[@chainblast2590]

man this car is beautiful!

[@TheBlueskyson]

Are there problems with the screen failing a few years later with these? Thanks 4 good review.

[@OldLien1]

F**k the BMW it's looks inside and out are VERY old-hat, this is a Quantum Leap ahead of the BMW or AUDI and as someone who has driven them all and does so regularly it's a lot better car too, It feels special to drive. just my opinion!!

[@kkjcid]

No review for 2019 facelift??

[@fliva017]

Great channel

[@MrT-vi8nw]

I love this car so much

[@AndrewKNI]

Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas James. Look forward to more reviews in 2017

[@MrBasinator]

I genuinely thought for the first minute this video was about the new E-class coupe, because the C class coupe has been around for a bit longer. I didn't read the title well .. says enough about how similar they look.

[@Supakeeg]

Beautiful car, Mercedes is back on top!

[@valxe00]

i think m4 looks a bit more sportier

[@yellowcakewithoctopus3173]

Is the 2016 mercedes c63 amg any good?

[@hishmania94]

Is it very good?

[@farielseradjy7460]

3:15 bit of a mouthful hey James 🤣🤣

[@Awayze]

Stunning car

[@margaritemilian6209]

Correction!!! Mercedes C 63 AMG have the 4.0 V8 engine, not 4.4 V8 like the presenter said!

[@demihani5062]

Minor mistake in the video. You stated the v8 AMG is a 4.4. It's a just a 4l

[@dsindja158]

That is our C43!

[@duniawest]

I need this

[@sofoklisthegreek2318]

Very nice car 🚗

[@Dr23rippa]

5:05 Sold!

[@d0718]

I've sold my 2016 C-class after 2 and a bit months of ownership Firstly, I really do recommend to go for petrol versions. My C250d had a 2.1 diesel which was very economical but it sounded like it was taken from the Sprinter Van. Performance was mediocre too (C220d must be quite slow then). Not to mention diesel makes this car very boring. Secondly, beware of reliability. After a week of ownership I discovered an issue with the boot lid (plastic supports would come of and prevent the boot from closing properly). Also had an issue with the sunroof blind jamming. Thirdly, even if you do upgrade to the "comand" system like I did, Merc's infotainment system is a pain to use. Especially using the satnav and typing in the address with the knob, takes ages. Also some buttons are weirdly located and have not been adapted properly from left-hand drive to right-have drive (e.g. the drive select is on the passenger side) Overall, I recommend to spend extra to get a C43 or a C63 since those come with more kit and of course better engines that make this car fun. If you can't afford at least a top spec C300, you'll probably be better of buying the new A5 TDI

[@d0718]

SP I don't think there is a C350 on sale in the UK, when I was ordering the C-class coupe the only versions available were C220d, C250d and C300 I went for C250d AMG Line and once I spent some time with it I realised that it is not as good as I was hoping If I was to order a C-class coupe now, I'd try to stretch my budget and get a C43. If not, then at least, a C300, but definitely not the diesel versions

[@d0718]

SP That what I was trying to say: lower end Mercedeses suck.

[@EdGeyy]

Literally can't believe they're still bolting cheap ASDA's own ipads to the dash.

[@legoinventions6056]

Is the new V8 not a 4.0?

[@Conorpets]

What is your fav car

[@kuddin9021]

I haven't even commented yet but the comment thread in this video is cancerous...

[@footballbootsreviews]

Next car I'm getting when the 17 plate comes out 😋

[@johnvarso3739]

football boots review wow man. You better enjoy it. Very agile look! Check out www.thecityboy.com Merry Christmas

[@ollie-skiingmtb8571]

football boots review so am I dude but I'm getting the 63s sounds 😍😍👌👌

[@sabzyk5260]

this car in 2020 can now be bought from 15 - 20 k auto, diesel (c220d)

[@dr.abdulmanan1239]

Looking forward haha

[@Jomotmm]

And that spec is brilliant

[@florianthomas7852]

Would be a stunning car if it was electric only (350km realistic range), but like this I am not going to spend 40k plus for technology that is outdated in a heartbeat.

[@DaniWayne369]

This would look better with nice big diffuser at the back and bigger quad exhaust pipes.

[@TheTreyVidz]

Dani Wayne that's why you buy the real AMG

[@korintusnara7563]

Am i the only one watching this just to see his seating position ? hilarious..

[@vtec5862]

Dream car of all time C63 AMG coupe Black Series

[@asadyasin8196]

GUWOP for the price maybe but still a nice car

[@jayh1096]

GUWOP hahahhaahahhaa

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

GUWOP said the BMW fanboy lol

[@johnobrien8398]

This car is a fantastic motorcar I think it's marvellous I know it will sell its so great I can buy one I love it so send me one now I love it

[@Merlinto2887]

you said if you're over 6 foot, you are going to really struggle. I cannot hear what is your height. could you type it here?

[@jackandcanon563]

Does it bother anyone else that all these car reviews are always the top or the range with £1000's of extras added on. I want to see a review of more entry/mid-level specs as those would surely be more useful for the average potential buyer?

[@Omar.Mostafa]

the quality is amazing !!

[@darkookanovic9485]

Maybe on the exterior but inside half the parts on the engine are made of bloody PLASTIC! Don't expect this to run for more than 3-4 years without breaking water pump or something... bloody outrageous for the price they demand.

[@valxe00]

@@darkookanovic9485 yes but there’s lots of soft touch yes not better then the m4 but i have a mercedes c class coupe amg and the quality is pretty good like i said not better then m4

[@sweetfreedomGB]

A great review again from one of the internet's best reviewers! The car? well some angles are great but the rear is podgy I'm afraid, and a non-integrated infotainment screen is a no no. With elements of the E class dash and a redesigned rear it'd be perfect.

[@rayhanjusob4108]

Is it a good car for beginners? I just got my drivers license and I’m thinking about buying this car

[@pengasus]

That jacket looks as if you inherited it from Shrek

[@tomkloosterboer]

Can someone give me the prices? Thanks. :3

[@Treeburnify]

infotainment screen looks like a bolted on after-thought

[@sweetfreedomGB]

Julian Parker .. Finally someone who objects to oig ugly 'bolted on' infotainment screens!

[@Goldros]

why the driving wheel is on the wrong side? :(

[@Sirikazy]

standare horrble full bazzel tablet.....planned obsolescence by design

[@robertjusic9097]

Sergio they need a tablet with no thick bezzels and that they are all curved

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

Siri in person it's forgiviable, for me at least, I actually liked it when I sat in the car and saw it at the autoshow

[@mancunianlee]

dracula called, he wants his hair back.

[@Jay-B1750]

Simulated leather?!?!?! shocking!! I'd expect real leather at those prices

[@wombation]

This car is better than Audi A5 coupe?

[@airmax90_king93]

Mercedes are just fucking incredible

[@joelrogers3098]

how do you decide who reviews what

[@joelrogers3098]

Wael Mkawer lol

[@WimTheInstigator]

c63 has a 4.0l, not a 4.4l!

[@XxLeeSoulxX]

Anyone else feels like he'll make a good vampire?

[@badroo]

James Batchelor is 5'10".

[@psyren7587]

Why does everyone on car buyer say the iDrive is better than Comand? Comand is much better! Can't you guys use your own words instead of the scripted bollocks you're given? IDrive sucks and every time I use it I felt things were unnatural and took longer to do...

[@psyren7587]

Ahh... ok, figured out carbuyer is a BMW fanboy channel....

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

Daniel K exactly it's like a stereo type they've fixed and memorized in their head, so stupid bs

[@nabillarif]

maybe u should review small hatches , A segment cars,mpv's and so on......i donot know why whenever u review a nice sporty car u kinda dull down the whole thing...nothing personal bt nobody is perfect at everything... these cars always sell on looks and that badge on the bonnet...

[@joshhames5100]

Everything seems “very good”

[@melvinmerlos8771]

40 MPG for the 2.0L petrol is wrong it’s about half of that

[@nastarranj9651]

Who watches car buyer when you have car wow?

[@KevBoy3D]

I love everything about it except the rear

[@BobMartinsback]

Yes, definitely a case of 'Does my bum look big in this?'.

[@mrsmith5846]

Once you ride her, You will learn to love that Ass :-)

[@KevBoy3D]

It's the way the taillights seem tacked on, they have no depth to them.

[@tsh8775]

Kevin De Smet same here prefer the older design

[@Kaisuke971]

I agree, they nailed it on the S and failed on the C for some reason.

[@skyworks1621]

I like the Audi A5 interior more, that Ipad style infotaiment does not look that nice

[@yungdro5702]

mercedes has lost it with the design team. every car is identical no wonder S class owners are pissed off why would I want my S class to look like any other mercedes :\ fail.

[@EdwardSinclair]

I was wondering about that too! Although I like the design cues, where's the exclusivity?

[@rousseau327]

Please, when you have an S Class, everyone around you knows you do. Very few that matter are stupid enough to confused the limousine of an S Class with a C, or even E Class.

[@redriver15262]

Yung Dro mercedes has always been like that.....the C class has ALWAYS looked like a small S class...take the w202 and w203 they look just like their S class daddies of the time....

[@robertjusic9097]

Yung Dro why would you want EVERYONE to know you have a Mercedes and an S class at that,peole.like you give drivers a bad name.

[@Kaisuke971]

Actually no, most people don't know it's an S Class unless you tell them. And unless they are side by side the difference of size between the C and the S isn't really striking either.

[@jackandcanon563]

Also, the C220d does not have 200bhp its actually 168bhp. This video is littered with inaccurate figures. Poor from Carbuyer.

[@connorgeorge6294]

The sound is very mumbled

[@user-hi2ue3ed4t]

He mentioned BMW over 10 times in this video. Seriously? I thought it's about Merc.

[@bocckoka]

it looked like an ordinary suitcase to me.

[@K9L3]

Mercedes-Benz by far the best looking new cars on the road now. audi have lost it in the looks with its very cooperate styling. bmw just boring to look at.

[@jevonjewnandan665]

This channel kind of looks like a carwow remake

[@gusbandicoot]

Hang on...ARTIFICIAL leather seat?! Is this a joke??

[@Cometocanadabut]

Its for animal lovers

[@Poker_Fr3ak]

where is mat watson ? pff bb carbuyer

[@Frocobo]

Interior will date horribly. Especially that horrid screen with massive black borders.

[@yungdro5702]

Well said screen is horrid

[@cartmann227]

Frocobo no

[@furious6358]

Couldn't agree... LESS. You can find the dating interior in Audi or BMW, but this won't really age. When new generation comes out, it will be right at the time for an upgrade. It's not that hard to understand that.. oh wait! You're just hating the "horrid screen" even though BMW's and Audi's screens aren't that much better. Biased idiot.

[@chainblast2590]

Frocobo I agree that the display is disappointing, but I really do like the interior.

[@animelver8767]

cant afford it😟

[@wiljohn2011]

GUWOP Mine cost $60k! I must be a cheapskate.

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

more like cool class

[@dannielsen3663]

Is it more reliable ? looks good but a cash machine like every other Mercedes car.

[@chainblast2590]

am I the only one that likes this car?!

[@agoo08gaming6]

[@chainblast2590]

glad to hear that!

[@jamesharding5855]

SP each to their own

[@davideojockey6237]

Jesus christ bmw 2 series with the same prices looking like a frankenstein compare to this sexiness hands down better looking at it at least

[@lapamful]

Don't like Merc's design language for their cars the last few years. This looks kind of tank-ish (!) not the sleek, elegant lines you'd expect to exude sophistication (although the interior is sublime). But anyway, what difference does it make how much you like this. I'd just head over and get a rival Lexus anyway I'm so fed up and heart broken with the German's appalling reliability record.

[@mqmaster5492]

Car wow ???

[@JagersSan]

0:02 That's a small man.

[@jezstokes8592]

James- you don't look very comfortable driving that car, so close to the steering wheel with that headrest pushing your head forward

[@diamond21450]

does anyone think that this guy is in touch with his feminine side?

[@MemeLord-vn4st]

Mark Kent He does really sound like a homosexual.

[@oxcart4172]

Mark Kent indeed I am. But I am heterosexual. (As that is evidently important to u! )
