Mercedes C43 AMG | STAGE 1 REVIEW on AUTOBAHN [NO SPEED LIMIT] by AutoTopNL

from a Audi fan. This Merc is really underrated. sounds nice drives well as daily nice.

[@tinapham9780]

I drove a c43 with amg performance exhaust and it was a menace in sport +. Popped and gurgles non stop. Not a super fast car but its so much fun driving in the city. And when you want a quiet ride, you switch it to comfort, instantly its a tame comfortable Mercedes. Great all round daily.

[@shelbyhaiketic4212]

Actually it is a extremely fast after u stage 1 tune it, 460 hp from a stage 1 is no joke

So a fast car for you it’s with more than 367 ps? 😅😅😅

No, rhe c63 has always been known for its V8. The fact that in a few years its gonna be a 4cyl hybrid is disappointing

[@abdolhakwik5255]

I mean yes I agree 100% with you but they should have just stuck with the v8. So disappointing what they did. But I would rather this 3.0l V6 from the c43 than a 4 cyl.

[@Sn0ws519]

I actually kinda like these more "tame" cars on this channel than the 1000+hp monster builds. Don't get me wrong I love seeing those things hit 320kph but I highly doubt the vast majority of us will be able to obtain a car like that in the future. Whereas a car like this? Performance sedan with an ECU flash and a few bolt-ons? Definitely more attainable for the majority of us. I hope that makes sense.

[@anon1963]

Leasing C43 AMG is about 700$ month so it's affordable

[@mimamooon7926]

The alcantara parts of the wheel can be fixed with a brush and some interior cleaning solution :)

[@hyper_channel]

yeah.. it's solid because of a layer of shit all over it :s

[@konut7607]

@@hyper_channel Yeah lol, all the oil and grease from human hands

[@thamaesta]

What kind of brush and stuff do you need to make it proper again?

[@mimamooon7926]

@@thamaesta this is a translation of an instruction that I got from a German auto forum: Alcantara steering wheel is "filthy". That as a starting point. What is this "siff"? Grease from hands/fingers, general dirt from hands/fingers. How do you get rid of that? In a purely "chemical" way. So we need something that dissolves dirt and something that dissolves fat. First, we mix up a cleanser. So we use a household cleaner to remove dirt. Master Proper or Frog or something. Then we need a degreaser. A mild detergent is sufficient. Liquid of course. But since that would be quite a tough mass, we take water. So: 1/3 cleaner 1/3 mild detergent 1/3 water Our super-do-it-yourself Alcantara cleaner is ready. Go on. Put this mixture (my favorite way to do it) in a foam sprayer. Then you have a nice cleansing foam. If you don't have something to hand, put some of the cleaner on the sponge (!!!!! not on the steering wheel) and "pump" the sponge to create foam. That's fine too. Other tools. - Sponge medium hard - a shoe brush (like one with these rubber nubs) - Terry towels, like new and white so you can see what you are creating. For hard cases we need some cleaning spirit. Now for the application: - Cover the fittings so that only the steering wheel is freely accessible. (If the brush or sponge splatters, then at least you don't have to remove the splatters on the speedometer.) - Put the cleaning foam on a sponge (NOT directly on the steering wheel) and then gently massage the steering wheel with it. Once again. Once again. Make the first (of many) white cloth slightly damp (water) and gently wipe the steering wheel. DO NOT rub. We loosen the dirt chemically and without force. Insider Pro Tip #2: The cloth is folded twice before use. Then you have 8 clean areas and each time you can see what dirt there is (or not). Also works on the paint. 😉 This action (gently rubbing in the cleaner) can be repeated several times, but please do not soak the steering wheel. Then rather wait a day (or 2-7) and then repeat. Particularly bad spots can be treated discreetly with cleaning solvent and the rubber tipped brush. Immediately afterwards, please go over it again with a cleaner. If the Alcantrara already has such pustules (nodules) then you can remove them with a 600 to 800 emery sheet very gently (no. Even more delicate!!!!!). Maybe someone else can verify that this is a legit way to do it, as I haven’t had to do it before. Good luck! :)

[@CK-ct6eo]

I test drove BMW's, Audi, Acura and even a Genesis 8 month ago. Living in New England I needed a daily drive with AWD but wanted sporty sedan. I was leaning towards the BMW then test drove a 2018 C43 and bought it the same day. Funnest drive of them all and the AMG sport exhaust is wonderful. I've been like a kid on Christmas morning everyday for the last 7 months when I get in this thing. Again just one driver's opinion and to each his own but these cars are a blast to drive

[@LMr773]

Have you driven a s3 or any Audi sedan S-models. I’m from New England as well and am glad I read this since I’m looking at the m340i xdrive/ c43/ s3. Tech wise do you like the c43?

[@CK-ct6eo]

@@LMr773 So I'm not a tech guy and my C43 is not loaded with features. I did not test out any Audi's. Everyone's situation is different so the decision can be tricky. I don't put a ton of miles on the car per year so I tend to keep cars for 5-7 years and buy another one before I hit 100k. Because of that I did a ton of research reliability wise and the Benz is the best of the German crowd. However if you're leasing/buying new and will turn the car over in 3 years, the M340 is nice. Ton of tech and fast but still not as fun as the C43 because AMG sport exhaust just can't be beat. The sound is just awesome. Hope this helps...

[@CK-ct6eo]

@@LMr773 One other comment, when I test drove the BMW'S, even the salesman told me not to buy one if I was planning on keeping the car more than 3 years because they're simply not built to last. The repair costs are insane so unless you have deep pockets, I wouldn't recommend it

[@LMr773]

@@CK-ct6eo thank you for the replies, definitely will come to help me soon, as I have been leaning towards Mercedes anyways. Thanks again!

[@weargasm3]

Same here Went to test drive a BMW M2 competition and left with a C43 AMG It’s not as fast but better all around car and just as fun to drive in sport + but in comfort mode it’s a luxury vehicle nice and quiet Build quality is amazing as well

[@tubejorrit]

biggest difference between the c450 and c43 is the gearbox, 7 speed vs 9

[@Letsgetitgointlilcuz]

Which ones more reliable / bullet proof / able to take a beating

[@summie7009]

The alcantara does that because of skin oils, normally with alcantara steering wheels you use racing gloves which prevent the issue

[@3741Jay]

The classic intro we all love and know! Please bring it back 🤞 the newer videos just arent the same at the beginning

[@Letsgetitgointlilcuz]

[@samyadav006]

It looks amazing! Honestly those wheels looks amazing and match with it! Really like the sound of it but the interior could have been better for a car like this. But on the basis of exterior it’s just amazing!

[@Dozithekid]

Well the facelift interior is definitely more modern and nicer

[@rynomuncher]

I wish they had used the i6 for the next gen one. It's a super interesting motor

[@adisg.1807]

1:34 nice tires bro hahaha

[@funda123asd]

almost slicks

[@Bllksem]

Just something, the c450s have a 7 spd and the c43s have a 9 spd. Both are dct though. Also the 43s after the facelift in 2019 have 390hp stock rather than 360, they get a bigger screen, digital instrument cluster, and a better exhaust if they’ve got that exhaust flap button.

[@Scyrixus]

Exhaust sound reminds me of Stelvio QV

[@terrenceacoose8490]

the c43 is the on you should look for not c450, in the c43 (at least in canada) it comes with the 9g tronic transmission instead of the 7g (7g has issues, the 9g doesn't)

[@BC2FITTY]

Sick as hell an that brabus exhaust is something else!

[@blackfoxmp5]

Pretty conservative tune. My GLC43 has 480 hp tuned, and it is a monster on stage 1!

[@RanzBudeServers]

From what tuner? How much KM does your car have? How can you know its not bad for the engine? Many questions :D

[@blackfoxmp5]

@Ranz Bude Servers I'm stage 2 now, with 530 hp. There are no engine problems. I tuned with Eurocharged and have almost 90k miles. It's been tuned for 40k miles. The only caveat is that if you drive your car hard frequently, you will have some drive train related issues, such as replacing front and rear differential, engine mounts, axels, wheel bearings, etc. If you keep up with maintenance, the engine should be the last thing to be problematic. Change oil every 5k miles and keep transmission fluid changed at regular intervals. The m276 engine is fine under 600 lb feet of torque. But you can get forged internals and push well over 700 hp to the wheel.

[@jackliu3806]

@@blackfoxmp5what problems have you ran into with the drivetrain in the 40k miles just got stage 1 from eurocharged!

[@str1kerxx]

Its the downforce combined with the suspension, Max. I´ve got the same issues with my normal Golf 6 (only motor and brake tuned) at around 250kph, feels a little like a controllable "aquaplaning" like we say in germany

[@robbe1301]

Yow that sound is crazy

[@bastoche86]

The alcantara has just to be washed, use a microfiber add soap in warm water, in 5 mins you get a fresh new steering wheel.

[@averagedev7768]

I just love how people call this car SLOW, i supose when you drive supercars all day this migh feel like it but looking at the footage and comparing it to my 2.2 OM651 220d (and i consider this car fast) this is hella fast

[@netweed09]

The C63 is just daft loud dinosaur noise for the hell of it. And a tiny bit faster. The C43 is where the real drama is it. Actual sound with a tune to it and possibly the best V6 wrung out at stock for it's time with it's crazy 4.8 second 0-62 time. And it looks amazing, the 'older' grille is way better than those ugly 'upside down' grilles the new 2021 models have. Mercedes' best car in over 20 years, it's a genius machine.
