A Legend.
You are way too kind!
@Raiti's Rides It's true Joe! Thanks for the pin!
@@DarkJediChrisG-1425 of course man
Agreed!
Joe Raiti is… Packing 12 inches of visual pleasure!

P.S. Thank you Joe and Lori. You are the best car review UA-camrs.
Thank you fir having my back!
Mercedes hands down does the sexiest looking steering wheels in the business. Such a nice wheel to hold
It seriously is out of this world!
They can make tons of money selling it as a detachable wheel with non working buttons and with many styles of stitching or more carbon fiber for a bigger price, lots of people usually drifters got detachable wheels
Ugliest cars too
This is exactly the video i have been looking for. Thank you!
That's how you make a car! Timeless, good looking and no fake vents and fake exhausts nonsense. I love the V6 engine. Thanks Joe, for showing that great vehicle!
Love the effort Joe!❤
Thanks man!
Beautiful high quality car ! Thanks for the review Raiti !😀
Wow Joe, this is the Apostle to the coupes and you know you've made it when you're driving an AMG vehicle.
I had a feeling you would like this one!
@@RaitisRides True I like it.
@@luiselapostolfeliz2421 very cool!
@@RaitisRides When will you do a tour of your home?
Nah Audi quality is much better than Mercedes now… plus the car is faster.
Joe oozes passion and charisma, perfect person for these videos
Thank you for being part of the Raiti’s Rides family
This is the final year for this generation but still looks awesome when you see it drive by. This car age very well. The new BMW 4 just looks strange in my opinion. The interior, although dated, still looks fresh and well crafted. The V6 sounds amazing, probably the best sounding V6. Wish I could afford it.
This is the one for me... wow well done and the on throttle was epic sound and performance. Thanks for the dream Joe.
My heart is with BMW but Mercedes does build some beautiful cars and the interiors are top notch. The Biturbo V6 packs a punch and can blast off awesome review and on throttle Joe and Steven thanks for your hard work!👍👍
I think you laid out the points perfectly
I agree to the build quality but BMW still smokes of all car in its segments and overall just drives better
@@shkhehsaan the true difference between Audi and Mercedes vs a bmw is the driving dynamics. All of these cars can carry big speed in a straight but they can’t compete in the fun factor and handling of basically any bmw.
@@OleMisss exactly BMW is driver’s car
Alfa QV is the only thing that rivals bmw handling
Between this Mercedes and the BMW I would go with the Mercedes for the fact that BMW now charges a monthly fee to use some of their cars' features. Big zonk to BMW for that.
Thanks you mentioning that I had no idea and my wife is looking at bmw suv but I don’t want to pay no monthly fee 😂
What features do they charge you to use exactly?
Off the top of my head the one I remember is they were charging a fee for heated seats. I believe they canceled that program though.@@chumchum2191
A very generous looking car
Yes it's older than the current bmw440i But it looks waaaaaaàaay better
I’m so glad you are all about this one!
I will just ditto what other people are saying…….The Raiti’s are the best car reviewers on UA-cam ! 👍
I’m so happy that you did another review of the C43, I still have mine, I love it and got it tuned so I get a little rear wheel spin on the launch and the bang and pops got louder. Thanks again, Joe and Steven.
That is so awesome
Enjoy it everyone loves amg Mercedes the billionaires who got 200 car collection choose to drive Benz alot daily
Where did you get it tuned
@@FusionTechCinema I had it done at a shop by my house.
@@jrodsrides8945 how much more power did ya get?
I actually love to rev my dad's car, but once I get my car I'll be revving it alot
That is really cool Rigo
I love his videos. He’s like your embarrassing uncle with all the corny jokes and I love it. Keep up the great work and unique style!
Joe love the review! Waiting on the rs5 sportback review. I hope its coming soon!
Amazing video bro
Casual lambo driving by at 18:43😂
I had the 2019 amg c43 coupe, it was a blast and I loved it so much. Great review as always!
What did you trade it in for?
@@ViciousFirearmsHonda Civic
Man last v6 engine in Mercedes it gonna be miss 😢
Why you say that
@@fivestar000cause it saves gas
my favorite part of this review is when Raiti says "I don't wanna roll any balls around" and home boy in the back looks over at him. 17:29
would be nice to see you review cars like c43 and m440i next to each other and give a verdict at the end
Have a 2020 c43 sedan, optioned out the same, same rims, same black color but with red interior and pano roof. Absolutely love this car
Thanks Joe & Lori for a thorough review ❤
You are so very welcome!
I took the plunge. My first car was a coupe in 1970, a Datsun 240Z. And the last will be this coupe. 😮
Plus....had to get one before that beautiful biturbo V6 goes away.
Joe says, "3.9 zero to sixty"? I see 4.3 to 4.5 in much of the research I've done pre-purchase.
BMW and Mercedes Benz .both are good
I’m so glad that you think so!
I am a Mercedes fanatic Joe especially AMG excellent review
You are the man Antonio!
I love that Joe reviews so many different cars.
Thanks Joe, love this vehicle…awesome performance in a very classy package. It would be interesting to get your feedback on the new 4 cylinder C43 sedan which I hear is receiving mixed reviews.
Love the sound of those exhaust!! Wooo!!
Music to the ear
Amen!! Raiti's u did it again!!
My dream Mercedes car! Brilliant job Joe.
You are the man!
Dreams become true!
So ready for this!!! I absolutely love Mercedes.
That’s really fantastic!
@@RaitisRides Yessir but I will say for 75k I’m highly disappointed is the radio size and it not being touch screen.
You stop on a euro…. And then give everyone change…. Prob your best line yet 😂… another great video ♥️
Love the car but there’s some tough completion up around 75K - not just the M440 but the M3 if your careful with options, Audi RS3 and RS5, CT-4 Blackwing (w/ change) and don’t forget the Giulia with it’s 2/3 Ferrari engine. All with + and - but can’t really go wrong.
the M3 and the RS5 cost a loooooot more than this. 340i is a touch cheaper.
@@v12-s65 they’re pretty close if you can get them at MSRP and hold off on options - two big ifs granted
Or u can wait for good oleee depreciation 😂
Yesssiir. Got my $90,000 w211 a few years ago for under $12,000 🤣@@Macc504
Isn't a real good lunch break at work until you watch a Raiti's Ride video! :)
MB and BMW have been going at each other for decades. They make it so very tough to decide don't they? The German brands put so much soul into their vehicles.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this MB
in order to compare, I would like to see back to back the 2023 BMW m340i..nice video!!
Had a 2020 C43 Sedan Black on Black that I traded in recently for a X3M. Needed an SUV and had to stay with the performance models. That said, loved the C43 and miss it everyday. Wonderful car without having to spend close to $100K for a C63 AMG
This would be a pretty good car for me as it turns out
Now we are talking for sure
$75k is for those who don't know any better& are just in love with the brand
You don't have the money why cry about it
Your absolutely right
@@vlone_slatt3504lol you have to be a complete idiot to spend 75k for this car. Anyone that’s successful knows to never purchase new when it comes to buying a car. They depreciate 30-40% the minute you drive it off the lot.
But I’m sure you know all of that since you’re a multi millionaire! 🤡
Looks nice!! But $75k ouch!! That kills my joy 😂!!
It is pricey
@@RaitisRides it's a luxury sport coupe!! And 345 hp u said? B8t low for the price
@@Angelbonilla1982 385
@@ewwitsdavid97 thanks
Could be much lower, I have the 2020 c43 sedan msrp 65k, has everything I need(especially the sport exhaust), I think it's probably those cooling seat packages that add all extra money
I see this is the C43 Coupé with the V6, which makes a lot of power.
But now for European emission regulations, they decided to put in a hybridised 4cyl turbo in the new C43 sedan and wagon, which increases the power, but I will miss the V6.
It’s a sweet heart of an engine
I consistently hit "like" before your video even starts.
I appreciate your support!
Ahh!! No cheap plastic gloss!! Thanks Merc!!
I like the way that you think!
I love this car look good and I love the video real true and Joe and Lori and keep up the great work real true 👍 💯💯💯
It doesn't matter if ur a car enthusiast or not JR is the apex of all reviewers and with Lori's 👏 videographer skills. Joe you're like the Enes Yilmazer of CARS.
im from oz, got the 2022 c43 black convertible and love your style mate and spot on the c43. both the ahs (not many) and lots of yes.
You mislabeled this 2022 AMG coupe. 2023 has a 4 cyn turbo with Panamerica grill.
This is a gorgeous car!
Any chance you're going to review the BMW 2-series Joe?
Fingers crossed I can get in one soon!
18:44 green lambo drives past lol
Good eyes for sure!
Most beautiful coupe ever.
I’m so glad that you are digging this one!
No touch screen it’s a big deal for me . Thanks guys for another great review
I just bought one and it is amazing
Looks better than the refresh IMO and your can’t beat the visceral sound of the engine.
From my research, it appears that, for 2023, the C43 Coupe is still offered with a 3.0L turbo V6, and the sedan variant is equipped with the 2.0L inline-4.
Good thing about the coupe is they are made in Germany. Sedans are built in the US.
Thanks
I own a 2020 Mercedes GLC 43 AMG and little thing like the heads up display and the newer operating system it has and is basically closely related to the C43 and even though it is an SUV it still drives like a sports car.
I've always thought the GLC 43/63 was a great car. Best of both worlds. Not like those stupid ass coupe suvs either.
@8:30 😏Wow.... never seen Joe drives so slow in a parking lot, lol😂
Compact but very fun to drive.
It definitely is fun!
Time for some Joe Raiti's night drives so you can show off the ambient lighting
The best MB 😍😍😍😍, Beautifull car
It's a nota touch screen🤣 I love it
1 million subs incoming!
I love that it was fantastic beautiful
Awesome review by you both as always.So we will get new C43 4banger hybrid in 2024 i guess
I meant 4 cylinder electrified turbo
I have the 2018 C43 since new with now 19K miles. The engine is the same for the last 5 yrs. I love it other than the interior plastics and dashboard creak after a while. I paid $57K with light options and PE. 4dr, blk/blk.
Do you have the sedan?
Can you help me pick my next daily driver a 2023 MX5 soft top club with the Recaro Brembo/BBS package or a 2023 Civic Si.
What car do you prefer, gas powered cars or electric cars
Beautiful car
I’m so glad that you think so!
Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2023 BMW X7 xDrive40i:
You got it man!
@@RaitisRides Thank You Man
@@Sunjib12345 of course
Joe ~ yes, thank you, tony
You are so very welcome my friend!
Sad that the C300, C43 and C63 AMG 2023 Sedans in the US market get an overhaul for an Interior while the Coupes still have old infotainment, old interior, not worth the money for what's about to be offered in the market.
It’s coming for 2024
You do know the next C43 is a 4 cylinder? This is a million times better
@@JuanPabloRiojasGaming Has nothing to do with what I said. If you're simply trying to buy this for the 6 instead of the 4 then that is a very silly decision to buy a vehicle based on. Considering this interior is two cycles old the money is not worth it compared to the newly revamped M440 with 6 cylinders or even the C43, C63. By the way those "4 cylinders" you're talking about are going to produce more power and torque, realibility is out of the question regardless if it's a 6 cylinder or a 4 cylinder when it comes down tvANY European maker. Audi,Bmw,Benz,Volvo.
@The Bellco I watched another car reviewer drive the new updated C43 4 cylinder and even he said he didn't feel that "excitement" compared to this V6
I actually love it, I hate the new interior's massive screens. I think this was the best balance of everything.
Worth every penny
Ive been meaning to ask this. So the BMW, Audi and the Mercedes are like the holy trinity of luxury performance vehicles. You literally see them popping up everywhere. Out of the 3, which one is overall the most affordable?
Probably Audi.
You know what else people like to hear, the sound of car revving.
This is very true
How does this compare to the CT4V Blackwing?
Not sure about performance, but it definitely looks way better than the current M440i 😂
Joe - I have the sedan version of this C43. I fell in love with its V6. The power and sound are just incredible! Sad to see it leave for a 4-banger.
But the car has some zonks. Like the steering wheel not telescoping enough towards you. But overall, a great car. And like you said, the 4-matic does a great job!
give it to me nigga
🔥🔥
Beautiful car like this and BMW rather have a Mercedes just 4 door sedan while the AMG C coupe is gorgeous even in that black color.
Beautiful car in every way. But for the same $$$, I'd go with a Lotus Emira with 400hp, wildly exciting interior, exotica styling and remember:
"Nothing handles like a Lotus...NOTHING!!!"
I get where you are coming from but nobody is cross shopping the Lotus with this car.
At that price...I would.
Lotus offers uniqueness and a sense of exclusiveity. M-B, Audi, Bimmer are ho-hum to most.
Make the most of the V6 while they exsist. They are a treasure that no advanced 4 cylinder can replicate
I never understood that either when he brought up the dead space in the screen, like why after all these years do manufacturers still make screens with these huge ass bezels, why not make them bezeless like the smartphones? I have a 22' Mach-E and sure the screen is huge but it still has thick ass bezels
This car is my dream car model in general
This is why many cars don't make the corner air feature smooth. It looks horrible on this. I much prefer the texture design because that's what it is, a design feature to make it look better. The smoothness looks too flat and boring.
seat functions as exterior door handle inlay
It’s says 4.5 Seconds for zero to sixty on Mercedes website. It’s also says MSRP is $60,000, not $75,000 - regardless I think it’s very under powered. I would have thought they would be above 450hp and at least 3.5 for zero to sixty. Love this car but the 2024 M2 Competition will destroy this car. I’m holding out for that.
Lol why the hell would you expect this car to be that fast? Nothing in this class of car is that fast. Bro your expectations were ludicrous
I thought this would have the new 4 cylinder engine. That’s great to hear they have to V6. Also, I thought the coupe was in the 3,900 - 4,100 range for some reason. Very interesting.
Yes.. As i understood the 2023 was coming with the 4 Cylinder Turbo AMG engine so i am a bit confused as well.
@@renp8780 Only the Sedan version is based on the new W206. The Coupe version is still based on the W205.
@@Crion629 Ahh got it. Thanks for clarifying!
I have a 2019 C43 sedan with PE….love it…but will not be replacing it with the new C43…4 cylinder that costs more than my current V6 biturbo. Nope. Going M340i x drive with B58 straight 6. More cylinders less money than new C43. Crazy.
Love the torque converter i rather have that r=than a cvt
I like the standing Mercedes badge on the hood not printed on
Same here! Good choice!
Great Salesman!!!
Joe please. The BMW M4 CSL please
I’m trying to lock one down!
@@RaitisRides LOCK IT !
I ended up getting this car while cross shopping for a ct4v blackwing, G70, Acura tlx type s , and the Audi rs3. Price gouging and AWD brought me to the c43
I’ll be in the market for a TLX Type S when they up the horse power.
Probably would’ve went for the RS3. That 5 cylinder engine is pure magic. The exhaust on the c43 is amazing tho.
@@brianschultz7320 the mark ups were insane
@@NoVaRedacted yeah I’ve heard the same about the ct4v Blackwing. I currently have an x3 M40i. Thinking abt the c43 or the s5 Sportback. Leaning to the s5 because it’s so beautiful and it’s easy to tune.
I'd wait till the model refresh for the coupe better off with the c63 sedan
130 mph top speed!?
Very similar to my 2018 E-Class 😅
