      @CraigsChannel  3 роки тому +2

      Me either, I've never been much of a Merc fan, but my friends friend had this and needed cash so I bought it a lot cheaper than I should have. Ended up thinking it was an amazing car, people always complimented it... mind when I bought it the condition was terrible, it hadn't been washed for 6 months, but I'm a detailer so turned it into a beauty lol

    Absolutely fantastic mate!
    I'm just swapping over from a range of 5 series M-Sports to Mercedes after having a E-Class on hire while mine was being repaired and totally converted however, there's so many to choose from in the Mercedes range I "almost" gave up but after browsing a few on auto trader and watching a few videos on here, I'm hooked - None more so than after watching your no nonsense, no BS open and honest display of your stunning car. Sold, thanks mate... PS, I'm Newcastle and sick and tired of thumping over Killingworth Road and just know the ride quality of the E-Class will undoubtedly be better!

    • @CraigsChannel
      @CraigsChannel  4 роки тому

      Yeah the ride will be a lovely drive lol, it was a really really nice drive especially on the motorway the mpg for a big car were amazing, mind mine was just the baby 220, you can go all the way to a 350 I believe but I was happy with what it was.
      I always give honest opinions no cars perfect they'll all have something you dont like or that gets on your nerves.
      The guy who bought this one drove it all the way to spain and that's where it lives now, lapping up the sun :-)
      I've had quite a few cars since this video you'll find them on my channel, you never know something else might take your fancy, but the Merc is a really good call

    Top car mate. You inspire me to save and spend my money wisely. After Ive paid off my financed polo r that is it for me. Everything I own will be paid in full lol. God knows how you manage to save for these kind of cars I have no idea what you do for income but you most certainly inspire me to save my money. To start with a £700 car to a scirocco, range, s3 and now this! Your definatley doing something right anyway. Will look forward to see what you get next, wouldn't surprise me if its a bentley lol

I've had more cars over the years just never put videos up, I think maybes one of my really old s3's and Golfs are on my channel.
      I started with a £700 then slowly worked my way, it was from a £700 to a Scirocco lol. I don't hardly drink and don't smoke, my friends who smoke spend like £200 per month just on that nasty habbit.
      Like I've mentioned I love your shape Polo, my friend had a black one and I loved that.
      Bentley is a nice choice, they've came down so much in value. They were £110,000 I've seen them second hand for as little as £30,000 for a really nice one, obviously not a SuperSport just a Conti, but still awesome cars.
      What you wanting next? Still a small hatch or something bigger?

      +Mr.Craig's Video Channel Haven't seen the golf or your old S3 but i'll have to have a deeper look through your channel mate im sure i'll come across them. And I was set on getting a golf mate, first car was a 03 corsa club and now Im with the polo. Had my heart set on a golf even before I passed my test but soon learned that insurance and the cost of the car itself is way out of my league at the moment. Ideally if I bought a golf I'd have wanted a mid range to high spec one so anything from a gti, gtd or even the r itself but at my age (22) and where I live in manchester my insurance would simply put me out of pocket every month with the wage im on lol. Im happy with the polo now as its a big change from my corsa so Ive not really put any thought into what i'll get next. I like the look of the new shape a3 s lines & the s3's. Leon cupras arent too bad either.
      Yeah as for the 30k bentleys Ive seen them myself around that price however i'd probably go for a c63 if I had 30 odd grand

    • @CraigsChannel
      @CraigsChannel  8 років тому

      Michael Bradshaw I can only imagine the difference from the Corsa to the Polo, I've had a Corsa and it was a good little car but you can't beat German build.
      Insurance is a pain in the arse, I bought my mam a little 1.5 Swift GLX for Christmas and she's paying £277 a year, I mean it's not that expensive but shes old, I thought it would of been around £120 lol.
      I've just double checked there and my old red Golf GTi Anniversary is on here and one of my old 03 reg Audi s3's what was running 333bhp, somebody snapped my hand off and paid £9000 for it about 4 years ago.
      Soon as this Merc goes I'll be going shopping for something, just not sure what! I've just had a Focus RS fly past me on the motorway there, that noise is amazing

      Where you from mate? Are you living over in the US?
      When I bought the car is wasn't anything like when I sold it, the guy used it as a kind of work horse and had it in a right state, took me a week and I had it looking new again. I was lucky though, when I bought it there was so much dirt, something nasty could have been hidden behind.
      Why don't you buy one with the spec and engine you want them wrap it yourself or get somebody to? Wrapping is a huge thing now and cost effective

      No Benjamin, I can honestly say it was the best car I've ever owned and probably driven. I never even planned on ever buying one, my best friends friend was short for cash so I bought it at a really good price and loved it. I love most modern cars but Merc are top of there game I think. E550 is a lovely car but I bet its nasty on fuel lol

    Damn ... had to thumbs up on this. I'm probably gonna be a first time benz owner. Been using audi for awhile now. 1st test drive a couple of weeks ago and was overwhelmed with all the buttons. Stumbled across this video by luck. Thank you. I'm buying an old merc (E 250 coupe CGI blue efficiency year 2010 with a 50k speedo), can anyone tell me whether this is bluetooth capable? I've tried to find a way on the net to install a carplay on this car but I think merc is making this rather difficult. Thank you again.

    • @CraigsChannel

      Clifford Callistus This was my first ever Merc it was a total random buy for me as my best friends friend was selling and I was car less at the time and thought 'what the hell' lol, ended up absolutely loving it and would always have another.
      Mine ran music via the bluetooth, USB and also had an AUX, I wouldn't recommend AUX as the quality isn't good at all. I'm not sure if can use Spotify and stuff due to me not having an account and not trying.
      I've had plenty Audi's and can honestly say you won't be disappointed.

      @@CraigsChannel i had e 250 cdi and 220 cdi both coupe and everything was superb ( 5.1 liter on highway 140 km/ h ) but sound of engine when i stop was terrible. Benz is great but next one must be V6 gasoline. On audi A5 coupe tdi engine i dont hear it at all but everything else was better on Benz.

    Also how do you do hill starts with the handbreak?

    • @CraigsChannel
      @CraigsChannel  8 років тому

      +ThatGuyNamedScott. C Good question, I found the answer the hard way when I had my Range Rover lol. What I do if I'm parking on a hill or anything with a slop is put the handbrake on before I put it into park, then when I'm ready to drive off put my foot on the brake put it into drive, release the handbrake then release the peddle. If you put it into park then let it roll an inch, then put the handbrake on, when you come to put it into drive the gearbox will have a god almighty crunch

    • @ROCKY44
      @ROCKY44 8 років тому

      +Mr.Craig's Video Channel With an auto MB you forget about the hand reak for hill starts. When you pull up on a hill, at a roundabout or in traffic for whatever reason bring the car to a stop with the footbrake as normal. Now put your foot back over the throttle ready to pull away because in an auto MB there is NO rollback. The car will magically just sit there waiting for you to press the accelerator and move away. It's awesome.

    • @CraigsChannel
      @CraigsChannel  8 років тому

      R0CKY44 I was just explaining hill starts as in getting in and out the car, the hill start you mean sitting in the car year just foot on the brake then throttle. But when you live on a bank/hill you have to be careful and put your handbrake on straight away before you leave off the brake in P mode. I never thought I'd buy an auto until I drove my Scirocco a few years ago, loved them ever since. I still love a manual for the feel of a car and knowing I'm in total control :-)

    • @ROCKY44
      @ROCKY44 8 років тому

      +Mr.Craig's Video Channel Ah okay, in 4 years I've never had to do that lol. Well done on that spotless car BTW. My c-class is also white, and I had a white Scirocco Scala in my twenties. For clean freaks white is best, because it shows up everything, including traffic film and tar spots. So once you have it clean, you know its clean, unlike black. Had a seat in the new C-Class coupe last week....amazing interior.

    • @CraigsChannel
      @CraigsChannel  8 років тому

      R0CKY44 I love the C-Class, c63 is what I'd love next. Yeah white is clean when its clean lol. I had to clay bar and Iron-X this car when I got it due to it being full of tiny bits of tar, took me ages but well worth the hassle in the end

      +ThatGuyNamedScott. C I like when people take their boring Mercs and mod them. subtle spoiler and AMG back bumper. straight pipe on petrol and quad exhaust on diesel. Maybe a stage 1 tune or springs or big brakes. it adds SO much to these cars and destroys the myth "Mercs are for old people who don't care about driving"

      @CraigsChannel  7 років тому

      Cleaned it myself, I've always cleaned my engines when I get a new car, its a nasty job sometimes but well worth it when when you step back and admire lol. I just use APC 10/1 mix, couple of micro fiber clothes. Then to get the black plastics shinny Auto Glym tyre shine

      +Samie Mahmood My Scirocco was a DSG not sure if you seen that video but the gearbox was really nice and smooth. Fuel economy on the s3 wasn't the best as you'd imagine with 300bhp lol. Insurance I don't pay much maybes £330 per year fully comp

    • @masmahmood
      @masmahmood 7 років тому

      Yeah I am not expecting to be great I am looking at stock 265bhp S3 not a re-map dunno if that does anything to the MPG but will take a look at your Scirocco vid later
