Review: 2013 Mercedes-Benz C220 AMG Sport Plus (W204)

[@marioasmrsvlogvideos3821]

I love how you revved that car, diesel sounds so good

[@madmags3292]

i have one for a 2 weeks now and damn i love it sooooo much! hugs to my mercedes-benz family! you guys are awesome!

[@ShanesAutos]

Mad Mags congrats beautiful car. Was considering one myself but at the time the insurance was higher than I would have liked. Got a 2015 Insignia SRI though.

[@madmags3292]

@@ShanesAutos thank you so much! I was thinking about getting insignia too as they are lovely cars but this came along and I decided to treat myself 😉 I pay £77 insurance ( driver since 2015/uk ) so it's not so bad I hope you are happy with your choice and I wish you safe journeys 🤗🤗😊💙 hugs!

[@markusflavor1949]

Mad Mags how much please ?

Picking up my black 2012 c350 cdi amg sport plus tomorrow. Excited is an understatement

[@ShanesAutos]

Thats great I hope you enjoy it! :)

[@-Tidgy]

Such a beautiful car in every single way.

[@ShanesAutos]

0Tidgy0 Agreed! :)

The automatic gearbox is much better than the manual in the C-Class - stated in other automotive reviews.

[@bodybagged6906]

Definitely my next car, in either black or gunmetal grey

amazing mate i have the same one it`s top shelf

[@georgeionica7859]

I'm looking forward to buy this model. Which model is more reliable: C class 2.2 diesel engine or 1.8 petrol engine ? I'm making around 1000km a month.

[@boratsagdiyev2858]

Hey there..I wanna ask you. I want to buy Mercedes w204, model year 2012 (petrol engine) with manual (6g) gearbox and I found a lot of disturbing infos about this kind of shifting. Some news subscribe that the shifting of first gear is hard. Or bang noise during the push of clutch pedal during the ride. Do you have any experience of that ? Thank you and sorry for my English languague please. Lukas

[@ShanesAutos]

I have driven a few manual Mercedes but they have all been diesel, even so I’ve never had any issues with the gearbox when I drove them. I think it’s best to do some research, maybe there is a known fault with some particular model years that I am unaware of but also drive one and see for yourself.

[@boratsagdiyev2858]

@@ShanesAutos o.k. :-) thanks a lot

[@jonahrogers733]

Would you still recommended this car, found one on 40k miles 2013 spotless not a scratch full service history and not sure what to do?

[@ShanesAutos]

I sure would but of course do a test drive and history check to.

I currently own a mk6 golf 2.0 tdi which is great. However this Mercedes-Benz c220 cdi amg sport plus in white is exactly the same car I'd like to purchase next in manual. Can anyone who owns this vehicle tell me an honest opinion of this vehicle. I have several friends who own a BMW and audi who say the handling is not that great and it's not very fast in comparison.

[@carstenclausen4414]

I own a model 2013 Avantgarde, its amazing and dont compare it too other germans, the W204 is in a class on its own, on top of that its not pretencious its elegant and powerfull in a understated manner, well, thats what i like, and the car is the best i have had, i had 14 other makes and model before.. and never anything as good as this.

[@nurousek123]

C Class is much better than 3 series or A4... but get it in Automatic Transmission

Would C350 v6 CDI sound smoother (less diesel like)?

[@ShanesAutos]

no ive driven V6 diesels before and the diesel sound is still quite noticable. although when your cruising its very quiet.

[@mikey_r3]

Alright, I'm in a bit of a conundrum; Mercedes C200 AMG (2013 model) or BMW 528i (2014 model) - Which one would you go for? And why?

[@blessingmapatha5482]

I would go for a Mercedes

[@robertb.bt600]

Guys who own this car or similar models with Xenon lights and Intelligent Light System, be careful when you jet wash your car around the front grill. I sprayed some water on the xenon control unit which is just under the headlight unit and I ended up paying £320 plus labour . There is badly designed because the water gets stuck for long time and the control unit is just flooded all the time.

[@ShanesAutos]

Robert Butnaru is it just with this c class or are other Mercedes models affected?

[@robertb.bt600]

Shane Earley i'm not too sure about that and i don't want to say anything wrong. I just came out of the garage one hour ago and they said that could be prevented only by taking extra care when washing the headlights.

[@TheVagabondWolf]

God just introducted me that Mercedes is just the best car..

[@marioasmrsvlogvideos3821]

The main point of this video, was you revving this car

[@calibredispatch8673]

I bought mine yesterday. Happy Days

perfect auto.

That handbrake setup is daft as hell, I mean it's located exactly where you'd normally rest yur left foot, so silly can't understand why these things can't be left alone in a standard position

[@harrybyton3639]

Hi good video, i've seen most of your reviews and you haven't got one for the 2001 Fiesta 1.25- what if your opinion on these as I am going to look at one for my first car? Thanks

[@ShanesAutos]

mike hunt Yeh go for it. Simple, reliable, economical and cheap to run. :)

[@Pcut]

i sat one time in this car from outside ir looks like bmw 3 class but when you sit inside the benz has space man, im 190cm and i fit perfect, no problem even banging inside i think

[@supermanrus]

Are the corner lights (U shape) always on in daylight?

[@robertb.bt600]

supermanrus on daylight only drl lights are on, the ones at the bottom which look like fog like fog lights but are actually led. the u shape can be turned from button

[@daniel16.4]

I really think to get one of this. Beautiful. And I don't think it's that expensive to fuel. BTW how tall you are? You said you had decent leg and head room on the back seat. How much is the annual service? Of course if there is no something unexpected fault with the turbo,gearbox, engine etc. Just the basic costs like brakes, oil,and filters

[@ShanesAutos]

I am 6 foot. I don’t know the servicing costs, I think maybe you should find a forum that has reviews from owners because I would only be guessing. I shouldn’t imagine any C class except an AMG been to hard or expensive to maintain and service.

[@daniel16.4]

@@ShanesAutos thank you very much for your quick response. I think I still going to buy it. It's just beautiful and economy too. And also yes it is more beautiful than the new ones.

[@ShanesAutos]

@@daniel16.4 so you should, it’s a very good car and this later facelifted model with the AMG styling pack looks great. The interior is starting to show its age but if you can ignore that you’ll love it.

Hello. I just got one. Okay not the AMG but the Executive SE but with 54000 miles in it. And I love it! Beautiful, reliable, comfortable and very good on fuel. And I just made a decision. In 5 years i'm gonna get the same W204 but the C63 AMG 😊😅 kzbin.infoXsz6XlmSCk0?si=KBTwrsb9XpzmmU3y

What is that stick thing with numbers? Really odd, someone paid extra for the PLUS model, but didn't want anything else. As a standard you would want the NAV and COMAND. and maybe the C350 engine lol.
