Mercedes C180 1.6 Review | 2013 AMG Sport - LUXURY on a BUDGET in 2024?

[@57RollsRoycePhantom]

W204 sedans and coupes are so timeless. One of the best designs Mercedes has ever released.

[@pittmotoring]

I have to agree with you, even now it is still a great looking car. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@Ackdaddy100]

I have owned the W204 sports plus 2.1 diesel version for 5 years and done 110000ks and not a single issue and the economy of the diesel is amazing I have had it down to 3.7ltrs per 100ks on the highway on long trips. They are also such a great looking and smooth riding car. I don't believe I will ever sell mine even though I could get the latest c class if i wished, it's a car for life.

[@mercboy111]

Timeless design. The W204 design is a car you can keep for 200k+ kms. The M271 engine is extremely reliable and efficient to use. Beautiful.

[@pittmotoring]

Agree with you on the looks and design, even these days it still looks great. Thanks for letting others know about the reliability 👍🏻. Thanks for watching

[@pavle_b]

what would be your choice between 1.6 and 1.8 CGI, from the perspective of reliability/performance/efficiency? thanks for the info!

[@mercboy111]

@@pavle_b hi! Great question. Personally I would always go for the V6 M272/276 if possible. To answer your question, any. Both M270/274 engines are great with a proven track record of reliability. The new M260/264 engines still have to be tested with time and kilometres (250k, 500k, 1M).

[@pavle_b]

@@mercboy111 ofc, all of us would rather go for the V6, but as always...wishes vs reality :) Thanks a lot for the answer mate, cheers!

[@mercboy111]

@@pavle_b no worries, hope I was able to help

[@DavidR_192]

The C220 CDI version is so much better than the 1.6 petrol. And bought used, there's often little if any difference in price.

[@Ian.Griffin]

Had my 2012 1.8 remapped and is pushing around 185-190hp. More than happy with it and had no issues. Great cars!

[@pittmotoring]

Sounds great that, it is pokey for just a 1.6. Sounds like you have had some great experiences with yours.

[@edwardchatikobo6316]

I have one myself i love this car and its going for about 200 000 KM odometer but still drives fine. one of their best cars ever

[@pittmotoring]

👍🏻, they are a lovely car

[@problemslayer3538]

Diesel or petrol ?

[@edwardchatikobo6316]

@@problemslayer3538 its a petrol

[@problemslayer3538]

@@edwardchatikobo6316 thanks Edward what model year is it ? I'm assuming the 1.6 petrol which is the m270 engine. How do you find it. Nice drive ? Comfy ?

[@Stu88Turner]

A friend of mine had an 07 c class 2.2 amg , we all went on holiday in his fully loaded up us in the back was very roomy and comfortable still , great cars ... another great review too

[@pittmotoring]

They are roomy in the back, it was the transmission tunnel which is an issue, its pretty massive. Sounds like an awesome holiday though bud. Cheers stu 👍

[@johnlundy536]

Got one 6 weeks ago what a cracking car to drive more than pleased with it

[@pittmotoring]

Great stuff, they are nice and smooth to drive, hope you enjoy many happy miles 😀

[@rozetca]

I have one, but the 1.8 2012 estate AMG pack. owned it for 4 years and a few months now. No major issues, just age related maintenance: engine and transmission mounts, gearbox oil, diff oil, hand break and rear break pipes corroded and had to be replaced, a level sensor in the rear, a valve for the ac unit, 2 thermostats. Now, I am looking to do the timing chain (not urgent because there is no rattle) and the AC compressor because after 1 hour of driving, there's no more cold air coming through. I usually use a Mercedes indy shop, but I am starting to do the easy stuff myself, like engine oil, filters and brakes because it's getting too expensive (£350 for a oil and filter only, for example). The rear subframe corrosion is a known issue -I had mine checked at a MB dealer - all good, but I cleaned, primed and undersealed myself just for the peace of mind. Performance wise, it's not that bad - I can join a motorway quickly, with a bit of revs, it will keep up with 2.0 TDI VAGs. In Germany I took it all the way to 146 mph - which is not bad for 156 Hp. Fuel economy is bad, really bad for only 156 Hp - 20-25 MPG in the city and 30-35 MPG highway. On the motorway, if there's a lot of road works and I have to drive at 50 mph, the fuel consumption will go up to 38-39 mpg.

Nice one, I was going to put one of these 2013 models but I wasn't sure, after watching your video I feel very comfortable..thanks for your review 👍

[@pittmotoring]

Thank you for watching 🙏 glad to hear the review was useful for you.

I can confirm its great for getting about Selling ya printer cartridges 🔌

[@pittmotoring]

Awesome 🙌🏻 good to hear its great for getting you around selling printer cartridges 😀

[@garygalbraith7774]

I've got 12 reg 1800 love ❤️ it 👌

[@kanishkgarg9313]

I highly doubt that someone is going to sell printer cartridges in this car, they’d probably be more into a Prius for that.

[@YZFMANIAC08]

Looks mint with AMG alloys👍🏻

[@pittmotoring]

Adds to the look for sure 👍🏻

[@doesntmatter1119]

What's the name of the intro song please? Great video by the way ✌🏼

[@sheshramtohul1546]

this car would have been perfect if it had a minimalist gear selector

[@dannydeacon4976]

i have one (bought yesterday) cant fathom the handbrake, no pedal on the floor in my car, if you can help please do...........

[@pittmotoring]

I shall try. It was one thing I struggled with when I first got in this car I filmed this review with. Heres a link to a video which is similar setup with this one. Depending what year, some were an electric parking brake which had a switch on the lower area of the dash on the drivers side. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJWnpopsgdyNb7M I hope this helps.

[@nirvana3887]

Just bought one.

[@pittmotoring]

👍🏻 Enjoy

[@Bando-fx4mf]

It’s 1.8 4 cyl? It has sport mode ? And both eco buttons right ? One under the stereo and the other eco/sport button at the bottom of shifter?.

[@pittmotoring]

1.6 litre 4 cyl Turbo. The one I had to test and review had the eco button underneath the stereo and a toggle button at the bottom of the shifter which changed between eco, sport and manual mode.

[@CristianCarpiuc]

Verry nice car😁 I want to buy one what do you think about the moto 1.6 petrol 156hp? ( When you change the chain timing and the cluch? Is expensive) the car I want to buy has 100000km. Thanks!

[@YZFMANIAC08]

Timing chain should set you back roughly 500/750 pounds. Clutch around te same

[@lukaszoff]

I'm glad this car has been dead body certified. I'll start saving up immediately!

[@pittmotoring]

It is a randomly useless fact to know about a car, but this gets the 👍🏻 for it.

[@lukaszoff]

@@pittmotoring jokes aside, I've been tempted recently by a blue 61' plate, 1.8 petrol turbo, 158 BHP AMG sport with only 47k miles on, but the price of just over 10k is putting me off... lovely car but pricey AF!

[@pittmotoring]

@@lukaszoff they do seem to hold there money very well. When I had this for an afternoon I was impressed by the build quality - nice materials, sturdy and well put together and to drive it was great, very smooth. This one was the 1.6ltr turbo.

[@lukaszoff]

@@pittmotoring Absolutely, I agree completely with you. A stunning vehicle that's been kept in a lovely condition throughout all these years but still, after a test drive there was something off in it for me, can't tell what exactly... Would get it in a heartbeat but I feel like I need to wait a moment in the current climate and see what happens in the near future...

[@pittmotoring]

@@lukaszoff used car prices are pretty ludicrous at the moment. One thing I didn't like was the handbrake set up. Just weird and odd.

[@MikeSkinner63]

Had a 1.8 cgi estate for 7 years now and looking to change. Seen a 2013 1.6. 26000 miles. Would it seem gutless?

[@pittmotoring]

if it is the 1.6 turbo like what was in the C class I had for this review I'd say no, for a 1.6 it was surprising and torquey.

[@musawenkosindhlovu9980]

My brother’s wife has one and it’s a amg

[@hamza8791]

Best amg ever build no turbo's no nothing just V8

[@kelvin.008]

Cost 67k pounds to own a 10 year old one in Singapore. And allowed by law to use only for 10 years!

[@pittmotoring]

A lot of money that, I didn't know about that law in Singapore.

[@josephbeniragimuyangayanga3761]

Is it an expensive car to run for a student in 2022 ?🤣

[@G4RY1159]

That brake is so silly, worse on a manual being so near the clutch

[@pittmotoring]

It really is isn't it. Such an odd design and something I've never understood but some see it as a quirk of the brand.

[@MrRGM10]

1.6 turbo? Or none?

[@pittmotoring]

Turbo

Quero o preço dum 180 2015 com baixa km.
