You actually can „sport start“ the c43 by holding the upshift paddle while starting the car... you will hear very loud pops and crackles - just always wasn‘t satisfyed with the startup
Thanks for your feedback. Audio has been a challenge throughout and still is even now. I've brought a Go Pro Hero 7 Black and the stabilisation and image quality is great but even that picks up a lot of background/Road noise. The struggles lol
If you just wanna start the car with the exhaust baffles open, I believe you start the car whilst holding either the down or up paddle shifter. So that it can still idle comfort mode.
Old school naturally aspirated V8 C63 next I think! That would be nice to hear! Great video again! Impressed with the content considering you’re starting up! Well done mate 👍🏼
@@lloydfreeman4905 i just chickend out of buying a v8 first one that was in budget sold as did not know they were selling cars in lockdown second one left it got a E400 amg convertable now really thinking c43 nxt yr was going c63 but running cost's and end of the day all the roads around me are 50 so do you need more than a C43 amg got to have a pan roof thou great vid mate
Nice man, keep it up! And about the startup in other modes, I think you could turn on the car 'half way' (so only the electronic stuff starts up not the engine) then put it in Sport+ and then Start up the Engine.
To get the car to start in S+ press the key less go button with out your foot on break car will come to life but not start the engine, select the S+ option then press and hold key less go button with foot on the break. Hope that makes sense.
I had that on my C43. (Brand new on a 66 plate), Mercedes were total arseholes about the whole situation so I traded it in for an F-Type R after 3 months.I'll never touch a Merc again.
I wish the Merc make an E63 Coupe & that will be awesome. I own a 2017 C43 & I totally agreed with you with the startup when everything switches back to comfort mode & It is very annoying. Keep up the good working. "me subscribed".
Lloyd Freeman you can start it up in sport plus. put the key in, switch it all the way to the top option (right before ignition start up) and put it in sport plus with dynamic select
Thanks bud. I reviewing the E63S yesterday which will be uploaded shortly and found this out. The saying you learn something new everyday comes to mind 👍🏽
Hi Lloyd. In the video description you state: "This car really does feel like its NOT part of the AMG family with new technology, design and performance" Did you mean to say NOT or NOW? Thanks for the review - very helpful.
In terms of exhaust output. I've heard that there was a new filter added which made the sound slightly different. From videos I've seen, it seems like the pops and bangs arent as loud.
@@samg8388 my friend. You have no idea. ;) my best friend have new version of c43 and i have 2017 version. My C43 have Performance Exhoust and louder than new c43. And sounds much better than new c43. AND I KNOW WHY ... but my english is not so good at explaining it on a technical level. inside there are differences. New c43 more digital and i like it more than my old c43.

Hi there Lloyd hope u doin well, I'm looking at getting an E53 AMG, Merc always had an inline 6 engine back in the days, then introduced V6 only some years ago and now the E53 went back to the inline 6 Cylinder, what are your thoughts on that and is the inline 6 better than the V configuration? I'm Hameed from Cape Town South Africa. TX in advance.
Hi Hameed, sorry for the delayed response. I don't always get notifications when people have commented. It's a difficult call if I'm honest. Considering the E53 doesn't have a performance exhaust I still thought the sound was lovely, however the V6 in the C43 with the performance exhaust is a different ball game. That would be the only negative to the E53 for me is that there is no option for the performance exhaust but I still think it's a cracking car! The step up from the C Class to E Class is quite significant in my opinion. Thanks for watching and for commenting. Lloyd
I thought it was fine for a sports car 👍🏽 seats were comfortable, naturally with low profile tyres and a sports suspension it's slightly firmer but not unbearable.
Does e53 coupe come with air suspension as standard ?which of the two comes closer to Amg performance? Very nice review indeed! Which reason would you buy c43 and which reason the e53? (Two many questions...)
I really like what Mercedes have done with both cars. The downside on the E53 is no Performance exhaust option but the plus is the Air Suspension as standard. On the flip side the C43 is much improved over the original C43 and with the performance exhaust sounds incredible. The ideal scenario for me would be to merge the two and you'd have the perfect car (in my opinion) it's difficult to say which I'd choose as I love the interior of the E53 but prefer the exterior of the C43. Tough choice!
Lloyd Freeman thank you very much for your quick response! I am in real trouble which of the two to make up my mind. Your review is very close to what i needed as mercedes dealers dont offer opportunity to test drive these cars in athens. Do you believe one of the two is better regarding driving dynamics or handling? Thank you!
@@lloydfreeman4905 Haha no worries mate, will be here in a week time, added you on FB as well coz I live in Weymouth so only half hour, will bring it to you, then a nandos!
I used to be an Audi man, I’ve had the A1,2,3,4,5,6. Great cars with Brilliant quality and so very solid. They all felt like similar cars although quattro added a dimension that was unbelievable without wheel spin. I know more about audi than their average salesperson. I’ve since come back to Mercedes thanks to my dad. They are so much sharper to drive. The styling today is best of the Germans. Too many BMWs on U.K. roads which although are great cars, boring to look at, and too common ...every other car is a Ford, Vauxhall(Opel) , or VW. Mercedes are the original German car, they are more expensive, and the classiest overall.. they invented German luxury despite what bmw fan boys say. I love my Mercedes coupe. AMG exhaust always make me smile.
Ok it’s fast it’s loud pop’s and bangs got it. I tuned in for a review of the whole car. What’s new with the infotainment system. Last edition you had to chose MB Maps. Or your phone has that changed. Has the MPG changed with different engine configuration. Etc Etc. Dude you tune into any where on UA-cam for its fast, pop’s and bangs. Thought you would bring something different. Thank you though
All good feedback. Bearing in mine, filming and editing this took 16 hours as it's just me and one other to help I thought I did a good job. This is a hobby and not a full time job so I did try my best but it's difficult to talk about every aspect of the car. Appreciate the feedback but considering it has over 1,000 views and it's my second review video. I have clearly done something right. Thanks again.
You can start it in sports plus. Turn on accessories, select sports plus, then start the engine
My way is easier and FASTER
One of the best V6 choices out there at the moment for practicality and fun. Absolutely love the C43. Picked mine up in 2019.
Any problems yet ? I am thinking of getting the 2019 c43 this year maybe. How reliable is it ?
You actually can „sport start“ the c43 by holding the upshift paddle while starting the car... you will hear very loud pops and crackles - just always wasn‘t satisfyed with the startup
My c43 from 03/2019 doesn’t have the emotion Start feature
Recently bought an 18 plate, C43 from there. Loving it.
The audio was of slightly lower quality and maybe the video too but it was a really good review, keep it up man! Well done!
Thanks for your feedback. Audio has been a challenge throughout and still is even now. I've brought a Go Pro Hero 7 Black and the stabilisation and image quality is great but even that picks up a lot of background/Road noise. The struggles lol
You can also start it in S/S+ too. Without touching the brake, You press the ignition button twice.. then select s/s+. Then start the car.
great review .. deserves way more views
keep it up
If you just wanna start the car with the exhaust baffles open, I believe you start the car whilst holding either the down or up paddle shifter. So that it can still idle comfort mode.
I'm just taking a stab here but I reckon the comfort start is mainly so it warms up so you don't just flang it from cold
YOU CAN START THE CAR IN SPORT OR + YOU HOLD THE PADDEL AND THE BREAK THEN HIT THE START BUTTON
Isn’t available in the 2019 version
The performance exhaust is a standard with the face lift... at least that’s what I was told by my local merc dealership as I’m looking to get one..
not true, i have seens ome 2019 without the performance exhaust and button
Old school naturally aspirated V8 C63 next I think! That would be nice to hear! Great video again! Impressed with the content considering you’re starting up! Well done mate 👍🏼
Sounds like a great shout that mate! 👍🏽 thanks bud. Enjoying doing it.

C63 is a twin turbo, its not naturally aspirated
Nice man, keep it up!
And about the startup in other modes, I think you could turn on the car 'half way' (so only the electronic stuff starts up not the engine) then put it in Sport+ and then Start up the Engine.
That's a good point. Still long winded just to get it to start in sports+. Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback 👍🏽
@@lloydfreeman4905 Absolutely agree on that
That's 100% spot on!
Another Great Video hope to see more content soon, would be nice to have more visual content like you did in the E53 video
To get the car to start in S+ press the key less go button with out your foot on break car will come to life but not start the engine, select the S+ option then press and hold key less go button with foot on the break. Hope that makes sense.
Excellent video! Keep it up!
Think you need better sound recording equipment mate
Good review all round
Did you find that the steering still skipped at low speeds? The old 4-matic tyre judder issue on RHD cars...
I had that on my C43. (Brand new on a 66 plate), Mercedes were total arseholes about the whole situation so I traded it in for an F-Type R after 3 months.I'll never touch a Merc again.
Lots of talk about the performance exhaust "option" - it's standard on C43 facelift coupé
The car starting in comfort is due to the WLTP regulations. The same with my RS3, same with other new "sport" cars.
Awesome Review, watched the whole video, can't wait for the next one! And yes, performance Exhaust!
Thanks again glad you enjoyed it. There will be many more to come 👍🏽 performance exhaust is a must s I mentioned 1000 times lol
I wish the Merc make an E63 Coupe & that will be awesome. I own a 2017 C43 & I totally agreed with you with the startup when everything switches back to comfort mode & It is very annoying. Keep up the good working. "me subscribed".
Thank you for the sub and positive feedback 👍🏽 that was one thing that I found a little frustrating as start up in sports+ would sound great.
Lloyd Freeman you can start it up in sport plus. put the key in, switch it all the way to the top option (right before ignition start up) and put it in sport plus with dynamic select
Thanks bud. I reviewing the E63S yesterday which will be uploaded shortly and found this out. The saying you learn something new everyday comes to mind 👍🏽
Lloyd Freeman no worries!
mickie wong i thought about this today
Nice review 👍🏻
Does the road noise as bad as it sounds ?
Great review . thanks !!!
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it.
Is there a lot of noise entering the cabin, the road noise?? I thought it was sound insulated
I think it sounds worse on the microphone. Sat in it driving isn't anywhere near as bad as it sounds.
Great review . Keep it up
The New G63 should be uploaded tomorrow 👍🏽
Damn you Mercedes! Why didn’t you do a refresh in 2018!?!
Hahaha you should've waited
Sounds sick
Hi Lloyd. In the video description you state: "This car really does feel like its NOT part of the AMG family with new technology, design and performance" Did you mean to say NOT or NOW?
Thanks for the review - very helpful.
Just seen this comment bazza. Defo now part of the AMG family! 😜
I thought so given the glowing review 👍👍
Was this the designo diamond white metallic? And is the ‘19 model noticeably quieter than the ‘18?
No its actually the standard polar white paint option. Quieter in terms of road noise? Or exhaust output?
In terms of exhaust output. I've heard that there was a new filter added which made the sound slightly different. From videos I've seen, it seems like the pops and bangs arent as loud.
You are sitting on the bonnet?? 😖
Resting on the bonnet..... I think it'll be OK 🤣
Can't hear the engine over the tyre roar...!
Is it that noisy in the car??
Not in terms of road noise no. When you are in the sports modes with the exhaust on you can hear that but it's obviously enjoyable! 😉
Hey man cool video... just a heads up that's a 2019 C43. Might want to change the title
Brendan Peterson that’s what he put mate
TFL No homeboy - chato had 2018 in the title at first. I saw it change too.
Great video. I love my C43 but i have 2017 version whit Performance Exhoust... my c43 sounds better than new version. Great car!!
New one sounds better and looks better

Hey Bro. Just commenting. That’s it. You can take it as constructive or unconstructive it’s just a comment.
Should rename the video to a review of the performance exhaust option...what a worthless “review”
It's icky.
Sounds noisy AF
Makes you realise how good RBR Mr AMG is as a reviewer, compared to this Chap...
They should fire the interior designer... Its hideous
Your missing out , buy a BMW
BMW isn't for me.
