Mercedes C-class Estate 2014 review | TELEGRAPH CARS

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-class Estate is a rival to the BMW 3-series Touring, but does its emphasis on comfort harm its overall score? Rebecca Jackson reviews it for Telegraph Cars to find out.

[@ianburgess1436]

I've always enjoyed Rebecca Jackson's reviews. She focuses on what many drivers want from their cars rather than some reviewers who bang on about performance all the time.

[@LuisGuillermoMoreno]

It's curious how Rebeca videos have twice or more views of those of the other reviewers of this channel, well done Reb, we love you, Iove you.

[@Firemarioflower]

Its her enthousiasm. And she's a racing driver, has sense of humour, looks stunning, presents calm but cheerful, the thing about her size and the bananas.

[@DamianWalczak]

Am I the only one who watches only hers videos on this channel and only his videos on carbuyer ?

[@nikhilkash92]

Rebecca What are you doing in telegraph cars? We miss you on carbuyer.

[@SaturdayCarFever]

Sure pal. She read it already lol :D

[@Firemarioflower]

Lol as if it matters where she is, as long as its a car channel.

[@polishqciape]

Firemarioflower as long as she wears tight jeans

[@Firemarioflower]

polishqciape Oh, for many of us that is no requisite, but a nice bonus. We care about more than just her legs.

[@leonardoantonio8756]

+Firemarioflower What's wrong with you? did you were raised by over the top feminist people? wtf

[@harmanj3508]

Delighted to see you back in action Rebecca!

[@ismaeltenenbaum4103]

glad she's back! The music on the videos is too loud. It´s annoying.

[@stinkytofujohnson]

When will you review the C class 2015 sedan? Thanks so much! I'm very unsure about the car, but I love it a lot and might buy it soon depending on your review.

[@アマ-p2l]

"we'll start in the most obvious place, the boot" oh yeah baby give it to me

[@Firemarioflower]

She'll give you the boot, creep.

[@アマ-p2l]

Firemarioflower hahah I'm just fooling around calm down. she is beautiful and intelligent though.

[@アマ-p2l]

Firemarioflower I know mate she's a wonderful example for emanzipation I still think she's beautiful though I watch these videos for these 2 reasons x).

[@charleslu7044]

Play nice boys...good to see.

[@アマ-p2l]

Saulo Vilanova xactly

[@blueonblack83]

I couldn't care less about an estate car. I occasionally click on these just to see Rebecca. There.

[@newsupdate1324]

Rebecca has a nice review we missed you but I will still follow and like your reviews,goodlock Rebecca

[@stunninglad1]

I don't think Skoda belongs in the same sentence as Mercedes, but it's still a super review, Rebecca.

[@kristiaan1]

they don't, but it's always a bit of shame when octavia being way cheaper and a class lower offers more space.

[@stunninglad1]

***** I think Skoda as a name should have been dispensed with. I can't help but remember the Skodas of old. The memory of them should be erased from everyone's memory.

[@kristiaan1]

stunninglad1 Well, that's a bit ridiculous. Should Lamborghini get rid of their name, because of the horrid LM002, or Ferrari because of awful and hideous F50, or should companies like Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen get rid of their names, because they produced cars and other vehicles for Nazi regime? The other thing is, not all old Škodas are bad, they have made some, which are now striking veterans: 1200/1201/1202, 440 Spartak, 1000MB/1100MB, the original Octavia (1959), as well as Felicia (1959), 1101 OHC, or the pre-war cars like VOS or the original Superb (1934).

[@stunninglad1]

***** You've obviously never owned an old Skoda from the 1970s. You're the one that's being ridiculous by even comparing top car manufacturers with the shambles that WAS Skoda in the 1970s. The Skodas of today bear no resemblance to the old Skodas , but the name is like a dark shadow hanging over them. A new name should have been issued when they went from junk to quality car manufacturers. Skoda as a brand name, tarnished so terribly by their past, should have been confined to the museum of terrible cars. Sorry if you find my point of view so confusing.

[@kristiaan1]

stunninglad1 You're right, I haven't, but my father, uncle, granddad and half of my family have owned a Škoda 105 or 120, or old 1000MB, Forman and new Felicia, and my friend's dad just bought old Felicia to rebuild it. One of my friends still drives Felicia from times before VW came in, which is actually Favorit (a car from communist 80s) with newer body. I live in a country where ouf of 10 cars on a street 4 are Škodas.

[@alfisti93]

Is there ANY possibility to see a random review without a forced mentioning of vw? I mean what on earth has a dull golf/octavia estate to do with a C-class T model? A Ford Transit or a Vauxhall/Opel Vivaro is also cheaper with more luggage space, does that count as well?

[@beoordeler5939]

I have a history of watching these reviews, now i'm actually at a point in my life where i can buy this car and you really convinced me of buying the car. Maybe the c63, great car.. Thanks!

[@AS-eq1yx]

The only reason I subscribed was that rebecca asked! Well I liked the review too though!

[@MegaJasperdog]

Nice car ....would be very nice with the 350 cdi lump. Very modern car throughout .

[@Snakebloke]

I'm British, proudly-so, and I am engaged to a beautiful girl from North-Eastern China. I never met or even saw a British woman that I felt was particularly attractive, say what you want about that but I have to say, no matter what the repercussions, Rebecca is a stunningly attractive woman - even more so with her career as a professional driver.

[@Snakebloke]

M4st3rm1nd She's good-looking per se...I'm 28! It's the perfect age, 30. :)

[@TomNyon]

according to mercedes Finland, the comfort suspension comes with the exclusive exterior package, then sportier suspension with the avantgarde (as usual) and the lowered even sportier drive from the AMG exterior package. No parking sensors standard here, but a good review. But i would take the petrol because of the lighter front.

[@zontarr22-zon]

ohh I really enjoyed ...the review I mean :P

[@LuisGuillermoMoreno]

If you know what I mean...

[@TheActiveSport]

Its a great review!

[@herculanomorais]

Very Hot Review!! *er

[@paulomelo2481]

She said that the boot should be bigger, but booth it's competitors( 3 series and a4 estate) have smaller boots, so that complaint isn't a complaint

[@coldplayification]

thank GOD that I m not the only one who has watched this video to appreciate both the car and the lady in red, sorry the lady in white satin hhhh. Good strategy, TELEGRAPH CARS, to make people watch your videos. Good cars and gorgeous ladies, who could ask for more!! However, ladies have nothing to learn us about cars just as we have nothing to learn them about cosmetics!!!

[@branot89]

Looking good. And the car ain't bad either. Great review also

[@richardking4725]

With diesel possibly at the beginning of un fashionability, it would have been good for the word petrol to have at least been mentioned?

[@BenzinioB]

The bes interior not only in this class but also better from much more expensive car. And this meat the stylish exterior - it is probably better looking the Audi A4 Avant (not the S and RS versions may be...) and this tells us everything...

[@BenzinioB]

oh... and by the way.... Telegraph Card - improve your audio recording please!

[@هشامابوحماد-ف9ظ]

benzfen

[@senicadoo]

God she's pretty :)

[@simoncrabb]

I looked at one of these recently, and I'm 6'1" tall, not that tall really, and it was cramped in the driver leg room for me. I was disappointed. The E class was way roomier that aspect.

[@oopscanada]

I like this review; just beautiful!

[@damianvonschneider452]

Wasnt she the one in carbuyer? Did she move? Correct me if I'm wrong

[@ETr4d3]

We had to follow you here and subscribe to telegraph cars.

[@eric19875]

Great review! You're do a amazing job!

[@G4RY1159]

Never really gave these merc's much consideration, possibly now an age thing but I'm really warming to them over the BMW 3 series and Audi A4

[@autocarspreview9280]

Awesome review... Thanks Rebecca

[@Hero87]

Think i'd go for this over the BMW Touring. As the BMW is just too bumpy and not smooth enough. Don't know what they mean about having fun around country lanes/twisty roads. I'm sure the C class estate can manage those sharp bends etc just as well.

[@SalisburyKing]

Why does every reviewer think that comfort is a bad thing and sports model should get higher results. I wish more premium cars would spec a comfort model at the lower end of the range.

[@MrTechichi]

I'm here to see rebecca again :)

[@ywpark74]

Today I just know you are in the Telegraph Cars. I am so happy to see you again~!!

[@anonimu0000]

she cames for a decent amount of cash , more than that care worths

[@ShaunJW1]

I was going to hold on for the C class but crashed my Landy and bought a Audi A3 Sportback tfsi instead. I also know that the C class can have choppy driving, but the Audi seems the same. There are small problems that i have with Audi, there were one or two small scratches on door trim, a small rattle on the side door that looks like its a rip in the (ta da) door trim... Does all new cars have small "bugs" like this, is the C class any different? Please let me know it would be appreciated!

[@TheMaevian]

would have bought an a4

[@ShaunJW1]

The Maevian The A4 a bit old now, but i did take a look at it. Resale values not so great either.

[@JosephatOkora]

Lovely interior.....Superb!

[@6145822]

Gorgeous cars not bad either

[@johanneswarn5488]

I'm sorry Mercedes but i'm not looking at the car.. Damn she is gorgeous

[@joebhoyroo1253]

She can SEAT on my face AD

[@sorinionescu4434]

I like Rebecca s boot!

[@rheindot]

Beautiful car meets beautiful lady. Great job Rebecca

[@benmorton3153]

i dont know if its the 2015 version but you can get it going up to c300

[@GultekinCOSAR]

Thank You very much for the video presentation. :)

[@Sandouras]

Half the cars out there have a transmission tunnel. Why do you always make such a big deal out of it? You just put one foot on either side, stealing very little space from those next to you.

[@Filan1992]

You are right!

[@andreiarama8745]

that's because cars are so close to perfect right now they don't have anything wrong to say about it 😀

[@Raditram]

I hope there would be a C63 amg version if this wagon, that would be superbbb!

[@AguiaImperial]

Muito bonita. Só é pena não ter óculo traseiro com abertura independente como tem o BMW 320D. Qundo é que os BANANAS da MERCEDES apresentam esse EXTRA do ÓCULO TRASEIRO COM ABERTURA INDEPENDENTE??!! Fico à espera.

[@priteshchauhan1851]

3:16 is the C class steering wheel uber thick or are Rebeca's hands just small?

[@rjuk8817]

5 ft 4 and a half of loveliness 😍

[@jonnatas]

I love you Rebecca

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

Off topic but true story. My wife just saw me watching this and commented how sexy the reviewer is.. Which I find hilarious because she has no idea how much in love I am with this Rebecca.

[@1812MK]

Why would you put both feet in one footwell when sat in the back why not put one foot in each footwell less likely to have back/hip probs.

[@abdelilahelhassani2356]

We love you rebecca!!!!

[@oyonon8696]

Ms rebecca is no longer on carbuyer? She switched to telegraph cars instead. Oh well...

[@Elaba_]

That car had the best day of its life.

[@zachyenonjoseph9295]

OH MY GOD REBBECA !!! I just subscribed !

[@TheBullyBambi]

A truely car queen......... Oh! Nice review by the way.

[@chrissorreda4982]

This C-Class estate looks like an E-Class estate beside her hahaha!

[@ravadadlani]

Why did you move from carbines to telegraph cars its like downgrading from a Bentley To a toyota

[@Firemarioflower]

1:33 Those eyes..... she just captures me with them.

[@marcolucas2160]

A trick : you can watch series at kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@axtonmichael3724]

@Marco Lucas yup, I've been watching on KaldroStream for since december myself :)

[@a2broo]

please do a review on the saloon version.

[@fellationelation]

Love your accent

[@kainetaylor8848]

I forgot you did do car bar

[@travism8597]

do an e-class estate please

[@PW227]

She forgot to bring bananas.

[@mikaelnilsson1156]

The fix centre screen looks cheap, it's really ugly and it's ruin the interior design.

[@arturforever2060]

Car is car but Rebecca is gorgeous: )

[@TheMpofu]

How much chrome does one car need.

[@gicurusu562]

Kings mario much enought here in europe we like style things even cars, not your chunk american tractors

[@SalisburyKing]

I do get sick of hearing how good a BMW is in every Mercedes review. I hate BMW's and prefer comfort over sportiness. When will reviewers and manufacturers realise that comfort is important to many of us?

[@eldwin79]

Here you are, Rebecca!

[@uhugvjkbkjh]

Damn this car is expensive in Thailand where I just moved to... looks like an A Class for me :( at least that means I can afford more beach trips

[@przemysawpawlinski5536]

Isn't that drive shaft tunnel?

[@360pezza1]

They do that interior with a grey wood instead of that fairly tacky black plastic, they should have made a piano black wood instead of the plastic I think!

[@youngdrug5927]

subscribed.

[@bArda26]

rebecca, where have you been! Mat goes bananas and makes horrible jokes about labradors constantly. We miss bananas!

[@FlowPhille]

OMG look at her eyes 2:22

[@Firemarioflower]

FlowPhille Sensuous.

[@victormanuels.3728]

Los alemanes como siempre haciendo superautos de clase

[@V76-f9c]

I love it

[@harryc266]

I'm just sat here waiting for the coupe...

[@jorgealvarez7937]

Seamos sinceros solo estamos aquí por Rebecca

[@Tom-ml3tn]

I Love Mercedes!

[@danielduplooy5928]

I love the car

[@garydelaney5100]

She would be unreal on top gear

[@Speedtv21]

i found rebecca!!!!

[@Ioanides001]

seems telegraph cars is the same as carbuyer minus the banana and big bottle test and plus the marks for different aspects of the review... you should bring back the bananas, Rebecca, and I'm not being cheeky...

[@humbertsin7575]

it's piano black lacquer...not "shiny black plastic"...

[@longhaul766]

Some commenting on here need to go to Spec Savers, others might need therapy :-)

[@MyGeorge1964]

Yep those jeans and the sleeveless blouse definitely your thing. Are you married? Boyfriend? Girlfriend?! No. Well drop me a line - I'm hooked! Good review by the way.

[@ottodob]

call me an old man, but i like wood in my benzes. no aluminum or glossy plastic...I want wood

[@ToysandFun]

I do agree with you sir . %100!

[@andyp8464]

then for gbp195 get ash wood trim ...

[@arnavsingh8558]

Samwise Drogod agreed

[@michaeldematto6742]

Rebecca is looking younger, better, I don't know if it's the make up or she has started using face cream, but whatever it is she is looking great, and this is a compliment, I am not trying to dis her :-). I think she should share her secret with Mat because that boy is more wrinkled than a mastiff.

[@antoniomadeira94]

if i buy one, is she included? oh my...

[@nealholdsworth7912]

Lovely car and even more lovely woman

[@Drogos79]

what a beauty :) ..car's not bad either

[@briansteffmagnussen9078]

Either are the Mercedes the size of a bus, or she is really small. It is in any case an impressive sight from 4.30

[@1valg]

A c-class is a big car???? Ha ha ha, you gotta be kidding. How can you talk about "spacious" when the test person is 160 cm???

[@istiaqueahmedkhan1690]

Don't worry, I'll buy the car & take you on a ride.

[@argon3329]

60mpg means 45 in real world according to car owners

[@Lennox1492]

I like this car but i hate the iPad screen

[@edsonmanuel1117]

Carbuyer girl...what are you doing here.. :P

[@Eves_Fab]

We use this car in Europe.And this car dosen't have a back up camera

[@popgames6605]

where is the banana? ??? is not the same
