AMG is OMG! The 2019 Mercedes Benz AMG C 43 Coupe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2019
- You can’t discuss the ABCs of performance driving without AMG. The Mercedes AMG C 43 4MATIC is the kind of car drivers wake up early for to get curvy country roads all to themselves. Available as a sedan and convertible, Tom Voelk takes the two-door coupe out to the rural roads of Washington State. The suspension and price tag are pretty stiff, but the C 43 is wicked fun.

That’s got to be one of the greatest sounding v6s
Love the time and dedication that goes into the reviews it’s professionally well done. Kudos for the Driven staff I greatly appreciate and enjoy the reviews. I can watch multiple times for reference also they never get old.
Thank you Tom, Rob and Martin for your appreciated efforts.
I have been watching and been a sub for a long time but don't normally comment.
Thanks again for your efforts.
Tom, we always love your videos. Keep up the great work!
Star Wars nod in car reviews, automatic like 😍😍 Thanks again Tom 👍
I always watch your videos more than once, there is so much packed in to one video. The photography alone takes a few passes to fully appreciate! Thank you to the Driven team, you guys rock!
Thanks, we put a lot of work into them. Its a matter of pride.
Great job and great review Tom and friends! Please keep up the good work, and I will whole-heartedly recommend this channel as often as possible!
Appreciate the great reviews, Tom. I’ve been subscribed since 5K and I’ll continue to watch. As you said, your reviews are always entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Tom!😊
Another great video review.👍
The antics at the end were an added bonus!😜
Good job!
All of your efforts do NOT go unappreciated, Tom and crew! The AMG series in any Mercedes would, just for myself, be an occasional use vehicle (i.e. weekender). For my daily driving, I prefer a vehicle that is quiet and compliant with the various road surfaces and tire options. I really love the interior of this particular AMG!
Great video Tom, keep up the great work, cheers from a Canadian fan.
Hey Tom. Your videos are very well executed. They are informative, fun, and visually stunning. Well done.
I actually like the "non-touchable" screen in my 2023 C43 coupe. No moving my gaze from driving. I just got good at using the center controller and steering wheel controls. And no smugged up screen.
Love your channel Tom! I've been watching your channel for years now. Hope your channel blows up!
Tom thanks for the amazing vlogs as always.
I just test drove a CPO C43, very impressed. A lot of hate for the fake AMG badge, but this is plenty of power and the steering was very good. The Sport+ mode was a huge change in noise and engine response. Finding a use one with the options you want is difficult, but I think the AMG Performance is a must have. Thanks for the great review, especially the handling comments, sorry about the drone!
stocking up on toilet paper back in Aug 2019?
Well played sir
almost been a year. wow
Great drone shots, Tom! Glad you were able to retrieve it from the thorn patch!
My wife has a 2019 C43 Sedan and its quite noble and sporty. Thus far, it beens great
Sporty? Find it hard to believe you have one
@@04tsxpower it is sporty
@@04tsxpower , yes sporty. I own one
@@jackseymour7964 so do I and if 0 to 60 in 4 seconds wow. Ridiculous choice of words
@@04tsxpower I don’t see your point
Great as always!
Great Review as always!!!
I always love your videos and I want to see more.
I love your outtakes at the end.
Love your reviews!
Definitely OMG. I am glad you mentioned the lack of a manual option. It still seems unusual to accept performance cars without them.
Tom I haven't seen you do these since nwcn closed down nice seeing you around.
It’s was fun to see the outtakes!
A good review + Tom = Great. From a former C43 owner
Keep up the good work Tom.
Just subbed love your outtaake with the trunk great sense of humor.
C student? Tom, You're A+ to me! Appreciate the work you and your crew put in. 👍
Great production and don’t take them selves too seriously. Keep it up!
I just found your channel and subbed! Excellent review. You just put this car at the top of my shopping list. Was having a hard time choosing between this, an Audi RS3, and an M2. This seems to be the best mix of comfort and performance.
Excellent choices. Have fun. I'm also a fan of the M235i if you're looking to save a little money. Great performance car for the real world.
You could always close the trunks on powered trunks of Mercedes, at least the S-Classes as far back as 2001. I remember way back when I had my first S-Class I opened the powered trunk with the switch inside for someone outside and wondered if it would close it, if I pushed the rocker the other direction and it did, always a cool party trick.
0:20 Only Tom can burn himself in a car review. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well, the truth hurts...
It was good seeing your personality at the end, makes the review more...human. I don’t know if you have to be very professional for The NY Times, but adding a bit of your personality to your videos might help you increase your following like other automotive UA-camrs.
Hey Tom! might be fun for you to do a video on all the gear you use, from your camera set up to tripod to the drone. I would be interested in watching, and I'm sure many of your fans would too.
good video. more AMGs pls
Thanks for the review! I have the 2018 c43 and love it 👍 as for subs, totally hear you on that. I have a career mentoring channel for recent grads and adults looking for a change and there are always production issues behind the scenes and my videos are no where as complicated as yours! Love your videos - it’s got that old school vibe with a very modern touch. Great balance!
Great review! Loved the bloopers at the end lol. Can’t wait to trade in my Audi s4 for a C43 🥲
Thank you!!
Well done!
$75k? 🥴 - Great video as always, Tom! Thank you!
Tom, great video. Where was this filmed?
Love the bloopers. Cute.
Very professional filming
Great and thorough car review as always. I like the way the Sedan looks better than the Coupe. Would love to see a comparison review between the C63 AMG and the GLC 63 AMG.
I have a C43 AMG Cabriolet....a lovely car. Nicely quick and agile and can still get 30mpg on a road trip. It gets lots of looks and comments....BUT .....it has very fragile tires and wheels...I am only one 2" deep pothole away from a big expense from a flat tire, I've had 5 or 6, or a cracked wheel, I've had 3. For this reason, I feel very uncomfortable driving it out of town because of the inconvenience of a flat tire or cracked wheel or both. I've had several other cars with low profile or fun flat tires and not encountered this problem in identical driving conditions. I've noticed on several other MB forums that others are having similar problems as well.
cool video thanks
From i heard your voice..I subscribed....great style
A performance variant that's a viable daily driver (four comfortable seats, etc.) is my sweet spot (I like the size much better than the E, or Tesla S) and I have thought this coupe or the C43 Sedan might have been just the one. Unfortunately I livie in an apartment so can't charge my electric at home.I drive a performance variant BMW 3 series from the good old days (2004) which I'm looking to replace with something roomier than my Porsche C4S. Would have wanted to know how this sweet car would have been as a daily driver: visibility? too firm a suspension? sounds like the sport exhaust is unnecessary but good that it is optional; is it as quiet as a C without the sport exhaust? P.S. Love Tom Voelk's reviews. The most sober and in a class with only one other great journalist, Dan Neil.
👍 like ur vids, keep it up
good video!
thanks from germany
This is the best car I could afford currently, is there any other coupe options on the same price level?
Lo haces entretenido e interesante!
Thanks guys! Your passion definitely shines through!
75 k whew! Yeah your sport on with the ride. My c450 rides terrible as well . As far as value you will loose 35 k right off the bat! Might want to check in a cpo or used. But like you said it does look nice. Also check out the c63 as far as pricing.
please review the e53amg coupe - good review ill subscribe!
I am 64 years of age...I therefore,have driven many cars...I ENJOY DRIVING THIS CAR MORE THAN ANY OTHER...THE DRIVE IS ORGASMIC....so I bought a AMG C43 CABRIOLET....
Congrats Tom your at 101k subscribers you’ll be at 201k by next year watch and see !!!
And the seat plastic thingy that pops out looks so cheap and plastic
Wait till the seat belt extenders break how much will they cost to replace lol
It looks sooooooooo good at 8:00
Imagine tinting out the windows. It would look so cold.
they're already tinted don't be a hooligan
@@TomCook1993 No, they're not.
Liked the video more than the car.
Please include conversations on the audio system
Nice
You are great
beautiful car all round . Gr8 daily sports car. Keep in mind even the porsche 911 carrera makes 380 bhp. This makes more at half the price.
Stepping into a C43 soon
You have to black the badging it looks weird without it being dechromed like most of the car
Bloopers always garner attention
More bloopers please!
There was a big omission from this review. Given that this is a refresh, some compare/contrast from the previous model would have been extremely useful. Some people passed on the previous models due to the ride. Supposedly the ride was improved (among other things). However, none of that was mentioned.
Overall, an OK review that could have been much better.
Murphy's law did get chya that day--- wowzers.
Did Tom just call the trunk a boot!
Thanks I saw a angeles st53 today but thanks for tour info on this I can’t afford but why did y’all end up in a bush?
I own a 2017 C300 Coupe. Absolutely gorgeous, one of the most beautiful cars on the road. Love the exterior and interior. But I wouldn't buy another COMAND system Mercedes. With an MBUX system, I'd consider it (maybe).
Why not command?
@@wagner0110 The voice recognition has been very frustrating. I don't think it's a bad system necessarily, but the new MBUX system has gotten good reviews. I would prefer the next generation of tech.
@@vwhite3055 Really? That is strange. Mine works perfectly. I use it alot for navigation and calls. But for sure the MBUX would be nicer.
Amazing drone shot over the corn at 3:43! How many takes did that take, lolz.
Also: I know the chances are nil, but what about lifting off these horrible plastic engine covers and showing us the real guts? Can't stand those things.
First take. I'm typically very good with the drone. This time not so much.
How much is a 2018 c43 amg ?
aryyyt, subscribed :)
Hey Tom I’ve got the same hair color. I bet your younger, lol
And in Canada we have the wagon! 😍
Leave the drone in the woods. We need fewer of those damned things. Nice review regardless.
Wish I could afford one =(
2:22 something else to break.
Black wheels are over done. When will car makers go a different route? Black doesn't scream special any more because everyone is doing it. So Tom, which c43/53 would you put in your garage?
buying all the toilet paper before it was cool LMAO :))))
I would easily fit 5 packs of softness in the back.
Hmm... That came out wrong :/
Top speed is limited to 155, not 130. Why do people keep getting this wrong...
Tom, I am a huge fan, but I'm a little disappointed that most of the car reviews you've done for the last several months are mostly luxury and/or hybrid. I'd certainly enjoy seeing you do more mainstream vehicles as part of the mix. Thanks.
I try to do a mix. Sometimes I just have to go with what I can get.
THERE, I subscribed, now pay him.
so Benz do not name the cars after the engine anymore? It use to be the 43 mean 4.3 liter engine looks like not any more
No, that went away with the last en C63, which had a 6,2l, but close enough. Now the new 63's have a 4.0l v8, the 43's 3.0l v6, 45's 2.0l 4cyl.
I imagine the non amg rides better but is a second or two slower to 60?
Jeff Sawyer exactly, people who want a more sporty ride chose this model
"if you subscribe i can pay him" he is all about money ..
It should be electronically limited to 155 miles an hour. That's what most performance cars are. They're just kneecapping this model.
All the more reason to have it tuned, get rid of the limiter and throw another 100+ horsepower at the same time! :)
There was a coffee spill?? If yes, please help my OCD, was it cleaned up?
93455Driver You don’t have OCD.
blueberrycobbler Just need to know that the mess was cleaned up.....even though it is a press car.
Boot dont open if your car door is open
Also available as a wagon here in Canada... sorry USA :)
As long as you Canucks keep Justin Bieber, we'll call it a fair tradeoff.
All's well that ends well haha the Benz is nice especially blacked out but for that. $$$ I'm heading to a Chevy dealer for a camaro zl1
Bicycle riders hogging the road 😂 happens over there to i see
