Not sure when this video was recorded, but the Configurator on the Mercedes-Benz UK website shows you can now get 4Matic option within the C-Class Range. So, it is available in 4x4.
I really love Mercedes, they are doing good job. I didnt like C and E class from 90s and early 2000's, but with w204 and w212 they were back on the track. Just beautiful cars. W205 and and w213 are great. Ofc new A class is something not like that small box that was before...
I think carwow and Mat Watson generally do excellent and concise reviews, but one thing never mentioned is reliability and dealer satisfaction ratings. I realise this is probably an intentional omission as you’re a sales outfit (which is fair enough), however for me those points are massively important - especially if you were choosing between something like a Merc, BMW or Audi for example?!
i just went to look at the new c class in a merc showroom and came out preferring the new b class.i think if you are looking at the c class,the e class makes more sense.on the other hand i found the b class a roomier option and a choice of power above 134 bhp either petrol or diesel a better buy than a c class.does anyone else agree with this.just something that made more sense to me after the visit.the new e class by the way is probably the best in its class. a truly amazing machine.
A note of warning, if where you stay has less than desirable roads, refrain from getting the AMG package which comes with the sports suspension, the car becomes extremely unforgiving and harsh and any small crevice will find its way to shake the cabin :).Although I do agree that the AMG package is a beauty, the sports suspension can really mess up the driving experience of the car :)
Powered tailgate not standard you have to spend extra to get the premium pack. which was quite embarrassing when the merc dealer told me it doesnt i showed him the review and he said quote "this guy must be dreaming"
Matt please add the other videos of practicality 360° infotainment and group test along with the reviews on youtube..theres generally a delay of a day or 2 between these videos..its good for us to watch them together one after the other..😊 Also..please add the links to youtube videos directly rather than carwow website..
As long as you get the MB command sat nav (bigger screen) the interior is very nice. MB is knocking out class leading interiors left, right and centre..!
I do like this car but I wasn't enamoured with the drive. it was soft but didn't take bumps well either. Mercedes offer more kit than the competition as standard and also quite good trim levels and packs with kit. I got a BMW 430d in the end. 6 weeks in it's awesome
I don't get why everyone complains about the 2.1 engine. I drove a w205 220d and it was very quiet. The only part where it felt loudish was under hard acceleration.
Muy buenas presentaciones en estos videos de Mat. Ojalá los editaran con subtítulos en español, serían perfectos y más, mucho más disfrutables por la manera tan amena y sobre todo diciendo las cualidades y deficiencias de los autos. Alguien que los traduzca por favor.
I love how you guys separate the whole infotainment review into another video. All the other reviewers try to cram it in when it's not really a priority for most.
If you want to buy it today, it’s still a good choice. I bought an 2014 220d model, so 10 years old car and it still looks and sounds like a new car. I would it choose again and again and… I have a manual gearbox and it changes really soft. You will have the feeling of a real Mercedes.

I just wish they made the display retractable like they did with their previous models. I just know its going to be outdated in a few years. Wish the whole display thing in cars would be set aside a bit maybe move towards windshield hud displays. Im a huge techie but just dont like the look of a screen on a dashboard
Yes because no one else wants to hear about the C, Mercs top selling car.... You're all that matters. Thanks for the review Matt, looking forward to more!
great video and you know the cheap stuff on the screen if you get the upgraded one it doesn't have that cheap plastic and you can get a different entertainment system at is better
Then it's not quality leather. I used to be against leather seats because I sweat very easily, but I've come to love them - when it's quality seats. Never had an issue.
I can't stand the gear lever on the steering wheel. Feels really awkward. I'm happy that they have foldable rear seats, unlike my old 2007 C280 4matic. Though I don't like that they're kind of narrow, as mentioned in the review. Aside from that this car is great. Too bad no diesel version here in Canada, so gas mileage is not that great :/
Without having muchknowledge about how transmissions work i can say that the manual gearbox is phenomenal at least in th A180 D. Comparing the gearbox in my Renault clio from 2013 it´s the best gearbox i have ever worked with it´s smooth in fact very smooth. The Renault gearbox however is a mess it´s very difficult putting it in reverse for some reason and it is just not as smooth as the Mercedes. Now i do agree that having a manual gearbox in a Mercedes is a bit weird in fact it should be a crime. Something i have to ask though. is the automatic gearbox in that model you tried slow in downshifting because that is an issue i have had in the car i tested at my local Mercedes dealer it was very quick and responsive in upshifting but going down again was a bit laggy.
REVIEW THE FACELIFTED MODEL; ITS SOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!! Its definitely the class topper now, it has the E class engine and gearbox, and it has LOADS of standard equipment now!!
My driving school had c class cars (manual transmition) and i remember when we were about to go to the ”risk education no 2” (when we will test braking on a very very slippery road. The nearest place to do this were about 100 km from my city so we were 4 students and one teacher in this jouney... the teacher was about 190cm so he had the seat about all way back so there wasn’t any space for our legs... and two of the sutudents were 185cm so... yea... not more space there either... one of us were only about 175 so she had it better but then me.... 195 cm.... baaam... no legroom. And then think about to 185 cm boys and one 175 cm girl in the backseats when there are a 190 cm and 195 cm men in the front😂😂😂 But i can say that i loved driving that car though... exept one thin... the gearknob just felt cheap plastic in the manual car... but the gear chancging was great, but just when touching the stick you felt like you sat in some cheap car😅
A bit embarrassing when you say that the amg line suspension is too firm and then claim that the sport suspension is the best compromise which you are reviewing when in fact you are actually sat in the amg line. Just goes to show how a narrative can be spread by journalists jumping on the bandwagon of others and not be as impartial as they would like you to believe. For the record, the AMG line suspension is a tad to firm, but it's not down to the setup, it's down to the run flat tyres. Stick normal rubber on it and it transforms the ride to how it should be.
I only took review seriously when done by you. Can you please do a review for a BMW 1 and 3 series? Planning to buy one...can't decide which one... Oh...and a review on the new Tesla Model S, will love to see your opinion (again, besides the Carbuyer review) Thank you and good luck

What about the new facelift ?
I have a Mercedes c klass 2019
I Brought Mercedes C Class 2018 and i Go to Buy Some Food And i Cooking Cheese Burger then My Kids Having A FUN DAY! At Los Angels
This review is superb! no one else can explain everything about a lux car in such a short time frame! Best review i'd say
3:09 Mat, you will need that mask in 2020 ;)
😂
That screen border has no place in 2016!
+SeemsLegal So true! Mercedes just make it on purpose so that people pay a few extra thousand pounds for the optional COMMAND online system.
+RMP1 I like it to be honest. By the way, it isn't. It is a little, but get the MTECH T-1... meh
+SeemsLegal i know it huge as hell, soooo ugly vs A4
Damn right..
Yea the interior is really nice but it is let down by that massive border and now Audi has a virtual cockpit option on their A4.
Love the humorous yet informative review style. :)

George Armstrong. Damn, you're a fan of yellow!
Look at them now...
@@MatWatsonCars how about now?
the only thing that i don't like about this c class is that ugly tablet
And the rear, the rear lights don’t look mean enough.
Simo العربي the sport premium plus model has a better screen
Actually owned one it didn’t look that bad
The new screen looks way better
u can change it with mod after u buy the car tho
always keep the reviews with Mat as he makes it fun to watch
"Having one of these on your drive, let's your neighbors know you've made a success of your life"
I don't care if it's not very practical, it's beautiful and sporty

Hi Carwow, please do a review on the 2019 c class. 😊
one of, if not the best car reviewer on youtube.
great new channel Mat. Hope youtube goes crazy for Mat's car reviews soon.
oh wait! we already are.
bezel around the screen and a garmin navigation? makes me feel like its an affordable tablet.
Garmin sat nav is shit
Closing the boot part was funny lol

I will have it before 30yo. , now owning a c180 w203 it’s more then enough for me at 25, I will definitely working hard for this fucking model
I liked the review . Very informative and entertaining in the same time . You re definitely one of the best car reviewers ! Thanks
Working overtime to beef up the channel? Great work!

Man I love Matt, glad to see him again.
The car in the review is not a sport model it's a 250d Amg pack
I do like this car but I wasn't enamoured with the drive. it was soft but didn't take bumps well either. Mercedes offer more kit than the competition as standard and also quite good trim levels and packs with kit. I got a BMW 430d in the end. 6 weeks in it's awesome
I recently got this car 😍💪🏿 Best car I've ever owned. PETROL ⛽ AUTOMATIC
I don't get why everyone complains about the 2.1 engine. I drove a w205 220d and it was very quiet. The only part where it felt loudish was under hard acceleration.

Thanks
Carbuyer - I was there because of you.
Car Wow - well damn you, man - I'm here once again!
some of the review here are mostly repeated review from his carbuyer years (2010-16). However MY2017 car reviews are basically new on carwow
The screen and the system on it look like straight out of 2007. Hey Mercedes, MS called, they want their Windows Vista Media Center back...
the interior of a bmw feels 10 years old. The only good cars from BMW are the m3 series, m4 series, z4 and i8
What the hell is that screen!?
I would like to see a review of a C300h of 2016 or 2017. I can't find one!
It’s changed a bit from my C180 with AMG’s in 95 😆, I love the interior vents on this *ben
If you want to buy it today, it’s still a good choice. I bought an 2014 220d model, so 10 years old car and it still looks and sounds like a new car. I would it choose again and again and… I have a manual gearbox and it changes really soft. You will have the feeling of a real Mercedes.

Why does the title say 2018 review when the video was published in 2016?
That infotainment screen.
Ur the best,, keep up the good work :)
Thanks, my mom thinks so too
+MatWatsonCars Say hello to your mom from me
+MS 😂😂ok
Great to see Matt in this channel. Just paid farewell to carbuyer and subscribed to this one. Keep it up.
+Ahmed Al-Emadi, same here. The fellow who replaced him is a level of annoying beyond my comprehension.
Insurance seminar 😂you know me too well
I just like the opening 30 seconds on all your videos. This is ....
Is it bad that I got jiggy when the funky music started at 6:00?
I love it! It’s very easy for me to maneuver & it’s comfortable enough for me!
You said that was the sport model, not AMG Line, but you can clearly see the AMG logo on the alloys?
Good to see you again
Matt bro advertise the hybrid not the diesel
How can this be a 2018 review as the title states, when the video was published in 2016? What am I missing?
You’re driving the AMG version not the Sport one...I’ve got the same car but full spec.
So for interior, which wooded style is this one? Linden Wood?
I'll remember to copy your pose when I press the trunk closing button :D awesome review!
I just wish they made the display retractable like they did with their previous models. I just know its going to be outdated in a few years. Wish the whole display thing in cars would be set aside a bit maybe move towards windshield hud displays. Im a huge techie but just dont like the look of a screen on a dashboard
My neighbours don't care that I have this
Adam then move house
Unfortunately people will not like you more when you are driving a more expensive car. Knowing that I would still prefer a more expensive car.
Adam they don't care because they know their peasants
It's only a Chinese car ..just a bit common.
WICKEDLEE LOOPY this is a german car
Review the E class, this C class is 2 years old, we already see this car too mach.
I can't have a review channel without a review of the C-Class though right?
Yes because no one else wants to hear about the C, Mercs top selling car.... You're all that matters.
Thanks for the review Matt, looking forward to more!
+SeaJayBelfast rubbish car
Yes you don't need the awd not only if you live in sweden
really good review videos ,keep going , good luck Mat Watson and team.........
hey matt!! great channel once again! keep it up.
although, i suggest you also put the car year in the video title :D
peace out.
Yooka: I love how the screen faded to black, then cut back up again to reveal driving footage. Is anyone interested in what else is available? Anyone?
İ like the screen its elegant. Resolution is good and also the animations.shiny borders are atractive.
dr 70194 A bezel that thick with a Garmin GPS (wtf?) is actually embarrassing but at least the rest of the design makes up for it
great video and you know the cheap stuff on the screen if you get the upgraded one it doesn't have that cheap plastic and you can get a different entertainment system at is better
mat nice to see you back can you please do 520d m sport please
*Carwow* !
You are the best reviewer !
Nice one thanks a lot nfo helps us a million ways
leather makes my butt sweat
fukin pussy
For that you have ventilated seats.
Then it's not quality leather. I used to be against leather seats because I sweat very easily, but I've come to love them - when it's quality seats. Never had an issue.
Joshua Alfonso sexy
Nice
I would prefer the front infotainment system to not have the mini piano black touchpad
I can't stand the gear lever on the steering wheel. Feels really awkward. I'm happy that they have foldable rear seats, unlike my old 2007 C280 4matic. Though I don't like that they're kind of narrow, as mentioned in the review. Aside from that this car is great.
Too bad no diesel version here in Canada, so gas mileage is not that great :/
I expected Mat to throw that trophy
After watching many youtube videos like this about the C class i went and got my own! Now I’m the one making the videos lol
This is actually an AMG line guys
You r driving an AMG sports version... Not a regular sport version
+Sajin S Anand yes I cocked up what I was saying...
+carwow thats ok Matt.. You are one of the best reviewer in the tube.. When can we expect a BMW M2 review?
+Sajin S Anand I know, cocked up... But what I said was correct
+Sajin S Anand I know, cocked up... But what I said was correct
+carwow Sorry .. May be I got confused at what you said at 4:44
3:14 the car can drive itself? what? is that like an extra option? it's still the C class we're talking here? :)
KeepOnRecord yes its still the c class but u hv to get the c250 or higher model fr tht
3:40 is that off set steering just for the right hand drive cars or left ones too?

3:16 Whats the feature that lets the car drive it self?
The infotainment looks like an afterthought bolted on there, the BMW solution is much nicer
There is an option to upgrade the infotainment system....
+Shihab rahman Mahim What, so it doesn't look like a tablet glued onto the dash?
BMW shoved it onto the top of the dash. If you really want it properly upgraded, you might want to look at an Alfa Romeo Giulia dash.
Hoq the cars is 2018 and the year for video is 7 years ago? 7 years ago is 2016?
REVIEW THE FACELIFTED MODEL; ITS SOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!! Its definitely the class topper now, it has the E class engine and gearbox, and it has LOADS of standard equipment now!!

A bit embarrassing when you say that the amg line suspension is too firm and then claim that the sport suspension is the best compromise which you are reviewing when in fact you are actually sat in the amg line. Just goes to show how a narrative can be spread by journalists jumping on the bandwagon of others and not be as impartial as they would like you to believe.
For the record, the AMG line suspension is a tad to firm, but it's not down to the setup, it's down to the run flat tyres. Stick normal rubber on it and it transforms the ride to how it should be.
Glad the ride is better in the Sport than the AMG model, shame though you are NOT in a Sport but an AMG model!???
We bought a C Class after this review.
Then found out that some of the features aren't available in my country, India.
Cool car though.
That insurance seminar reference though Haha
Hi Matt loving these new reviews can you do a review of the Ford S-max please
Soon. Maybe.
We are picking one of this one today :) x so excited
Please do an M5 generations drag race
I only took review seriously when done by you. Can you please do a review for a BMW 1 and 3 series? Planning to buy one...can't decide which one... Oh...and a review on the new Tesla Model S, will love to see your opinion (again, besides the Carbuyer review) Thank you and good luck
Great review !
