[@MrBoultoninAZ]

let’s go

[@Der_Chris]

In German please

[@ACS607]

Autogefuhl i think your video production has taken your review up another level. Love the clever sped-up addition of the tanker which set the scene and the soundtrack fitted the C class montage nicely. Really enjoyable to watch.

[@autogefuehl]

🙏🙏

[@frankdepasquale7500]

Perfect size, most usable engine in the lineup, and a flawless Thomas as usual!

[@aniki937]

Thomas, you are surely the best reviewer on youtube. I'm always impatient to hear you say "And now, in full hd, full screen and full length, let's go !" I know I'm gonna have a great moment. Cheers from France !

[@autogefuehl]

Merci!!

[@rrebbel28]

Great review. I also love the diamond pins, they definitely look the best. I am really looking forward to the convertible review.

[@stephenoverstreet9898]

I have discovered your videos in the last week. Your quality is very topical and very informative. I really like the format of your reviews, and to be able to compare your thoughts on every car using the same review process is very helpful. Thank you for your hard work!

[@autogefuehl]

Welcome!!

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Awesome content as always Thomas. I watched this video so many times while I was waiting for my C43 to arrive! I have mine in brilliant blue with the black pack. Makes me smile every day. Such a fun car to vlog with!

[@autogefuehl]

thanks and enjoy =)

Thomas, thank you once again for a very comprehensive review in English. Much appreciated from the part of the world I come from (Singapore). Keep up the good work.

[@krasnaludek298]

Your English is excellent sir & this is a very thorough review - absolutely fantastic job! 👍🏻

[@j0hnapp1eseed]

Thank you so much, Thomas! I bought this car because of your review. Just had it for a week and it's been the best week of my life.

Wow, enjoy it man =)

[@NuhanHidayat]

That's how you do a facelift! Distinguishable from the old model but not too much going on, still looks elegant & upscale, well-done Mercedes

[@eaze7324]

yeah but the old ILS looked way better imo

[@fridericusrex9812]

Oval exhausts for the win! Amazing review, as always!

[@akshitsaini8790]

Thanks a lot for such an extensive review, love it

[@alxactly]

I really love these german sports editions of regular cars. It's so nice to see an almost anonymous type of car but then it pulls up and noone can follow. Audi RS, BMW M (a bit less anonymous), AMG, all normal looking car but beasts under the hood and on the road. Makes those "m-sport line, amg-line, rs-line" body kits look stupid when a real one blows past those entry level engines on them haha. nice review thomas!

[@djlotusak6820]

Amazing review. Thanks. I really like that you focus on important stuff, that is how the car drives.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks, keep tuning in !

[@TheMasterNinjaRyu]

He's back! Was really looking forward to this car review. Thanks Thomas.

[@stefanelmapugay1103]

The Subaru STI, the new Audi A7, and the RS7 that Thomas has reviewed are my favorites. This will be my 4th favorite video. Well done!! Very informative.

[@autogefuehl]

😎

[@maciejkaraszewski]

This is the first time I see Thomas speeding on public road:). Great car and, as usual, great review!

[@habbaw]

What a car, thank you for the great video

[@PhilT993]

Excellent review, Thomas! Sounds like you know what you are talking about and you even know how to properly hold a steering wheel. Thanks, Phil

Welcome 🙏 hope u ve subscribed!

That landscape is just so beautiful alongside with the car of course :D

Really like how they made the infotainment screen shorter and wider, looks much better now.

[@itmustbelove08]

Daniel Sadjadian agreed

[@Cazanu417]

You can get it from aliexpress for 500$ i changed mine on my 2015 cls and also has android and touchscreen it fits so well because has the original form but the black bezels are replaced with screen

[@willyuan1]

still has huge bezels

[@eufonioun]

@@Cazanu417 what did you change it with?

[@paularnold6596]

Another great review. It is so useful how you cover every aspect of the car. You point out the good points and bad points but leave it up to the viewer to decide if this is the right car for them or not. After watching your review I am sold on the C43..I will be waving goodbye to my CLA45. Thanks 👍

[@autogefuehl]

Welcome 🤗

[@susnjarante1]

Best reviews on the net. Good job autogefuehl! The car is excellent as well. Great to see the power boost over the prior 3L V6 and I love the new steering wheel. Too bad about the diamond pin grill as that was my favorite for AMG's. Keep up the great work!

[@autogefuehl]

appreciated !

[@paulwharton1850]

I think that Thomas is easily the best car reviewer on the internet and TV. A very good, thorough review on a lovely car from Mercedes - pure class. Like the back of it and I like the front too ! Sorry Thomas lol Many thanks for all your hard work.

[@autogefuehl]

👍👍👍👍

[@blessingchikamhi3202]

ITS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS

[@andyvargas8590]

Now the current c class, e class, and a class look almost identical. Great idea

[@AfiqReza98]

Love all ur in depth review keep it up

[@DnBDubstepManiak1]

autogefühl really became my favorite go to page for reviews. Especially with Thomas. Very long reviews, with a lot of information and an honest review. Not a BMW fan that likes to discredit Mercedes, nor a Mercedes fan that would keep saying how awesome everything is. Just his honest opinion. And a very good voice as well, some have an annoying voice. But his German accent isn't annoying at all and very clear to understand. I hope you will let him do a review on the new A35 and A45 amg's when they are out for reviews :)

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks m8 thats what we do!

[@arturoibarra5470]

Gorgeous car, cannot wait to get mine !

[@joshuakim9772]

Awesome review as always. Please do a full review of the new C43 Coupe version!! I really have to decide between the pre-facelift 2018 and the new one!

[@jackierighthere]

[@Jaywumazda]

The Best Car Review! first time i watched full video!

[@autogefuehl]

awesome ! :)

[@vojtechkrayzel9490]

Great video! Keep up :))

[@netweed09]

They've refined a few little things, but the older one now becomes a kind of gem, and the huge thing is I liked the sound of the older mapping a bit better too, it was more raw and in your face. Sweet,, thanks new car for making the previous (better one) more accessible =D

[@metalstorm45]

Great review. Thx. Now that diamond grille is gone the car no longer looks girly but more masculine like all good sportcars should look especially for the awesome AMG range.

[@mattl9194]

Agree, the new grill looks nicer than the diamond. It didn't look very sporty in my opinion

[@ukaszslusarczyk9335]

Thomas, you are sporty driver! Nice :) Good job like always. Nice car also!!

[@autogefuehl]

😎

[@jerindas]

loved the video,... can you please do a review on the new C class coupe...C200

[@vicentealvarez1618]

Is awesome car , beautiful shapes & your presentation is so aclaratory like entertaining, thankyou Thomas.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks feel free to recommend us =)

[@user-kb5ey4gn6e]

Interior design is more impeccable than ever!

[@daveuk9669]

great review as always thomas . not too keen on the side profile . cant stop thinking Rover 75 ! ? 😱

[@pathlu8630]

Thank you sir about the sound. Lower tone sounds exceptionally good like rs3 that sounds well made rather than the sharp tones they make sounds like after market thing

[@purplefabian]

I want this so bad!!! Great video

[@asalazar]

i have a 2016 C450 AMG and my lease is coming to a close soon. I was shopping around and still the new C43 has the best interior compared to its competitors. Facelift is subtle but enough that you can notice a difference. Power/Torque are good enough and it feels planted while driving fast. My only gripe with my model is the transmission and the gear changes at low speed. Hope that’s resolved with this new one! I’m leaning towards leasing another C43 so I’m looking fwd to it!

[@tupaei01]

Hyacinth red and bucket seats... hmmm.. Thanks Thomas, my second favorite Mercedes :)

[@Matthew-vw6gy]

Test drove a red C43 today and was very, very impressed. Just wish they hadn't put the AMG badge on it so I could buy it without worrying about snobs telling me it's not a "real" AMG.

[@pfeamg9658]

Matthew Case I just picked up my ordered c43 coupe on July 1st and absolutely love it. Screw the haters lol. This car is most definitely a true AMG! I used to be one of those folks that didn’t think it was a true AMG because it didn’t have the hand built v8 engine. Then I test drove one...man was I wrong.

[@fabinho69fs]

Bester Mann, ich liebe eure Reviews. Perfekt wären es wenn ihr zusätzlich zusätzlich "versteckten" feateures von den Fahrzeugen zeigen würde. zT sind die von Marke zu marke verschieden. zB beim c43 dass man alle Fenster mit dem autoschlüssen öffnen kann wenn man den "öffnen" button länger gedrückt hält oder schliessen. Solche sachen eben :) Aber wie immer 5* review ich überlege mir einen c43 zu holen. Kepp going guys

[@KuangTu]

Looking forward to see the C63 AMG review.

[@lokemolland3339]

Very good editing!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@paulveenendaal]

Great repo ! 100 points. Just ordered C200 business edition + all available options Polar white with the black sunroof. Now have to wait a few months :-)

[@autogefuehl]

cool :)

[@darkknightsds]

Great review, Thomas. I am considering this or a Boxster. Which do you prefer?

[@wiljohn2011]

Me likey me likey. Thank you again for another great review! I will save by getting the base seats but not scrimp on the sport exhaust.

[@autogefuehl]

😉

[@litespeed65]

One of the best steering wheels I've seen in a while.

[@doctorpanigrahi9975]

Please review the Jaguar I pace. Your reviews feel more natural than others.

[@SDav21]

The lane assist will only show that you are drifting if it is not deliberate. If there is deliberate force on the wheel it will take it that you want to steer over the line. If it is accidental such as when you are not physically forcing the wheel in a direction it will show a warning and move the car. This prevents it from becoming annoying to a point where drivers switch it off and instead here it will always remain active (since drivers now won't switch it off because it is not too annoying) and come in handy when it is needed most.

[@michaelsnow3643]

Very nice review, especially since we don't have these in the US yet. I lived in Zell for awhile and miss living (and driving) in the Mosel valley!

[@autogefuehl]

cheeres!

[@garydavey7925]

What an excellent in-depth review of the new C43 AMG. I could do a comparison between my last years model to this new one. Love the new digital screens and the steering wheel with the controls to configure both screens. What stands out for me is the safety of 4 Matic especially here in Australia where it rains on a regular basis. I was amazed what you said about the passenger side dash looking like a poor Porsche dash because I have been holding that thought to myself ever since I drove my new C43 of of the showroom last Year. You are the best car reviewer I have came across Thomas. Big thank you once again Thomas keep up the excellent reviews. Gary - Australia

[@garydavey7925]

Sorry typing error when I said poor Porsche. I meant just Porsche. Gary - Australia

[@garydavey7925]

PS Are there enough changes to the new C43 for me to trade mine in? Definitely not!

[@autogefuehl]

Servus!

[@autogefuehl]

Check full length and u ll know :)

[@clydew.henryiii9755]

Does the 2019 C Class have available massage seats and the Energizing mood selector from the S class?

[@bombstar10]

It may be a minor exterior refresh, but I think I finally like this generation of C-Class. I also prefer the way the digital display is framed in this car, the giant wide screen looks cool in the S-Class, but it starts getting weird as you move down the lineup. (huge fan of the W204).

[@selcukkis6860]

This AMG interior looks so much better than M interiors.

[@User-th6yy]

Yes, now they only need to become as fast as M cars with the same power output

[@a.3160]

Random Carguy e63 is faster than m5

[@DanielSadjadian]

Yeah the M interiors looks so boring and use too much plastic.

[@55uniwega]

Plastic? U must be mad? Have u seen lasted BMW Inferiors? They look much nicer than Mercs. but that's probably personal preference.

[@DanielSadjadian]

I was talking about the M4 and below M interiors. They look awful. The new M5 and upwards have great interiors.

[@g8joe]

New sub from merica..nice review I like your style of video..and nice to see a German performance sedan reviewed in Germany by a German, but who's English is good ..😀🇺🇸😉 I'm getting one of these ..finally stepping up to a Merc!!

[@autogefuehl]

Welcome !!

[@rooster3265]

Very well done, thank you! I drive a BMW 535i Xdrive. My youngest child is leaving for college and I now want a smaller, more powerful car. The C43(coupe) is very appealing but I like very tight steering in Sport mode. This has been a complaint of mine with the 535. Do you think the lack of progressive steering in the C43 is a significant drawback?

[@Keaza.]

Does this specific car have the performance exhaust? Thanks

[@Aurora_v_cali]

I love hearing u go though the gears. Why is it a tct amg speedshift 9speed, and not the mct in the e63

[@kris93_]

Have they fixed the wind road noise coming from the driver and passenger side?

[@bogdandjuric5282]

Can you make a S 450 coupe review.There are almost no driving videos for this car.Thanks

[@rbmedd]

Just got my 2023...last year for the coupe having the V6 Biturbo. I didn't content it with the adaptive cruise option as I had in my Volvo V60 to save some money. But since I live in a rural area, with no heavy traffic commute, I feel the trade off of some of the electronic safety gizmos, but with more "autogefuhl", was worth it. This vehicle has a "soul." The Volvo was great, but was not a joy to drive like the C43 coupe.

[@autogefuehl]

😎👏

[@briananthony4044]

Supercharged or turbo? I prefer the earlier MB shaper edged models ahead of these rounded edge ones. Medium sized, the C class used to be the compact with the E being the medium.

[@GHotSauceAnd1]

Hey Thomas, do you think you will do a full review of the new C63s cabriolet? Side note, great review Thomas, as per usual. Beautiful facelift, big fan of the new exhaust.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏 we ll have c400 cabrio and later this year c63 coupe

[@candlercando]

I like the taillights in this model over the coupe. In the coupe, much like most SUVs nowadays, the form is broken up by the trunk or lift gate. Functionally, in the US, that piece that sits horizontally but not part of the fender can’t house the real brake or backup lights so manufacturers only add the temporary, non critical light functions to that part.

[@4ourTimber]

Planning to get this car when my lease is done cant wait!

[@zackzada]

Great review. Thanks. By the way the M2 Competition review was done by someone else. I thought Thomas was the sole star at Autogefuhl?!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! No we have Brian, AJ and Thomas as reporters :)

[@JAVIERGARCIA-nb8nm]

very good report, like everyone. the landscape of the final part of the video is beautiful. where is it about? By the way I drive a class C (W203) of the year 2006 and it is a marvel on the road, it seems that you are on rails.

[@autogefuehl]

Cool! As i said mosel area

[@dgoullet1]

Hi, always enjoy your reviews. I have the previous version and I enjoy it. The only part that I don't like to much is the suspension, a bit jumpy for my liking. It seems it is improved with the update. Any idea whether its possible to upgrade the suspension setting for my version to the new version? Keep up the good work!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! I don’t think that’s possible

[@sergiupuscasu2496]

This car is so effortlessly gorgeous.

[@johnzois7748]

I love the facelift, the grill is beautiful, I hate the diamond which I had on my c43 2017 - I upgrade my grill to the C63 night pack.

[@viervier825]

Hi Thomas, thanks again for a great review! The car seemed quite noisy when driving around at 130km/h. Could you comment on this? Do you know if this one had the acoustic glass? Thanks a lot!

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers! Cclass does not have special acoustic packages afaik

[@naderakbarzada4827]

I just recognized that the refresh rate in the digital cockpit is very high compared to all other mercedes even the new CLS 53. You can see it in minute 18:50 when he accelerates. Actually very disappointing that we don't get it in the new E53 and CLS

[@hisoka-bbs3408]

Nader AK recognized that as well, the E53 is one step over the C43 right? Why doesn't it have at least a Display that's equal if not better?..

[@naderakbarzada4827]

Don't know, ordered a E53 myself, it will arrive end of this year and I wish the refresh rate would be higher than the one of my current C200. But are you gonna do

[@aikonomic]

Trunk arbierto, trunk cerrado, ...arbierto, cerrado. Throwback to sesame street there Thomas 😂😂 16:13

[@autogefuehl]

😂

[@FallINMItch44]

Does this model have the amg performance exhaust?

[@drinkwrong]

whats the fuel efficiency during 120kmh constant drive?

[@robrto2411]

What about the regular C300? Not amg version. Thank youuu

[@peterml259]

Hi, I found the old Ils lights much nicer and wanted to ask if you can install the old lights of w205 in the new model w205 2018. Thank you in advance! Best regards :)

[@autogefuehl]

dont think thats possible

[@ericshen4909]

Love the new c43!!

[@DanielSadjadian]

Will you make a video of the C63 W205 facelift? Can't wait for that!

[@autogefuehl]

yes we will ! On Racetrack.

[@Taroth21]

Hey Thomas... I am not sure why you get the impression that they changed the sound... with the performance exhaust the pre facelift sounds exactly the same =)

[@Alby911]

Nice review, informative and soothing. I wish Merc would do away with fake exhaust covers though, seems like too much of an afterthought, imo.

[@dominiccook12]

16:15 Homer Simpson style 😂 "trunk open, trunk close"

[@bigboner23]

Beautiful

[@peterantrim]

Amazing car I love it :-) I am driving E 400 Coupe with 333 hp 3.0V6 but this one sound much more better then my ,,normal,, engine :-) LOL

[@keithr639]

Are those alloys available in the UK??

[@wiratornr.3510]

Hi Thomas, this C43 is actually my dream car. I had an WRX STi before and I just wish to drive a high performance 4WD car like that again but with automatic transmission plus extra comfort. But I am not a fan of steering column mounted gear selector of recent MB cars.Pity this C43 will cost >120000€ where I live. By the way I noticed you have never mentioned about brake quality such as pedal feel and stopping power for any cars you reviewed. Hope to watch new E53 AMG Coupe test drive from you soon.

[@autogefuehl]

wow!
