We need good journalists, like you, telling manufacturers the importance of simplicity and safety and hopefully they’ll change future models.

Ciao Thomas, I collected last week my new GLB200d with "full spec" especially for the MBUX system . Normally (before Corona) i used to drive 40/45.000 km a year especially on highway, this year of course things are different . But it's one week now that i drive the car, and I tend to use (to my daughter big amusement) the "hey mercedes" system . Such as "hey mercedes it's too hot" and it lowers temperature one degree , "hey mercedes drive me to...." and it works, the gps is set correctly to that address . Even when i had fisical buttons in previous cars, anyhow you (at least for me) still look at your hands when you touch or move the button (of course not for door mirrors but for example AC system or GPS etc) . One good thing on the GLB is that you still have the touchpad to operate the MBUX and I use that also a lot, I have not seen the touchpad on this C class and I have to admit that would be a "minus" if it was not there, plus, very important there is a "fisical button" for the radio volume (i use that a lot) and for the AC fan speed . But as you mentioned you buy a mercedes most of the times for the way it rides , i came back to Benz after two BMW and a Toyota and it really feels like being "back home" .

Great review again Thomas! My favourite channel for my lunch break :) I completely agree with your comments on ''feeling home' and 'simplicity'. I have both new B-class and X2 and i feel way better when i drive the BMW, it is definitely a much better car and not being a ''smart phone''. I hate to push a lot of buttons before lunching the car (e.g. de-activating irritating lane assist). However i also recognize the B-class as a much practical and near-luxury level interim quailty. Also my wife doesn't like to use B class because of all those fancy but distracting stuff.

Thomas, thank you for your honest reviews! Yes, I agree with you that physical buttons are better than software buttons. I received my 2021 E350 this summer and it is a tech overload to drive sometimes. The 2021 E350 has a few real physical buttons,, so that is good.. I appreciate the safety tech, but there is a steep learning curve (for me at least).... I am still trying to learn all of the feature and how to use them safely while driving. Adjusting settings with physical buttons are best in some areas.

@bubberlad 3 жыл бұрын

such a massive improvement over the current one also while i definitely don't prefer capacitive buttons over traditional ones, i don't find them too difficult to use.

@mmaea 3 жыл бұрын

A very fair review of the new C class and I agree 100% on the excessive driver input required to navigate basic operations. The new 3 series has taken the right approach: give the driver the option to use either traditional knobs/buttons or the screens to access the basic and most used functions. The current B9 generation for Audi’s A4 has the same approach as BMW but I fear that the next generation of the A4 will replicate the all screen approach as the A6 or A8. On another note, Mercedes spends lot of money on focus groups to gauge the receptiveness of their target demographics on screens replacing knob/buttons. Perhaps the majority of potential mercedes buyers want the all screens approach?

In addition, the shortcut buttons around the knob are really good, blindly switching from map to carplay, to the home screen and so on. If youre on a standstill or a passenger you can still use touch easily. Plus: less cleaning!

I really do like the new C class. A shame no coupe in the W206 and I look forward to seeing what Mercedes produce in its place. I agree the best version is the RWD C300. A nicely balanced comfortable luxury car.

This combined with capacitive buttons is very poor design. I have trouble with fine motor control. This is not disabled friendly.

In the US all they want is more SUV's. I have the C wagon in Canada and it gives you all the benefits of the GLC but with better handling, gas mileage, quickness, more fun to drive and doesn't look like everyone else. The only thing I don't have is the added road clearance, but unless you are going off road or on un-plowed roads right after a snow storm you really don't need it. The most off road that 99.9% of SUV drive on is gravel driveways or a rural gravel road. Not sure why the hate-on for wagons because SUV are really the family car for the past 20years. Wagons are enjoyed by people that are into sports or have dogs. In F1 the medical car duties are shared with the C63 wagon and the Aston Martin SUV, the MB looks way cooler.

I absolutely agree with you, Thomas! the capacity buttons nowadays was so backwards!

@yuriyhammeke5610 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Thomas, You say that it´s not easy to operate the capacitive buttons due to the distraction. I think after 1 month of driving you will be totaly fine with this kind of control. You just need to give it a chance. Why you didn´t try the Distronic Plus with Steering Assistant? The driving is much more comfortable.

Please tell us when cars do not have a spare wheel. At night time in Australia, we can be 200 to 300 kilometres from a service station. Road side assist often does not extend to these areas. We can also be out of Mobile Phone range. A puncture repair kit does not repair all punctures, especially when side walls are slashed by debris or a rock. What is in the car's puncture repair kit? How do we re-inflate the tyre. Getting safely to one's destination is more important the car's speed potential which we cannot legally use anyway, or stereo system and it's controls.

Were the "decorative" tail pipe apparatus removed, and actual exhaust pipes pointed "south", would there be a greater risk of CO2 poisoning when the vehicle is standing? Wondering. I wonder about the electromagnetic, H2O, and mechanical dynamics / rationales for decoupling a fixed terminus from the muffler end. I tend to question questions.

Drove it, really nice driving qualities, base models doesn’t have enough power. Engine seems very much tuned to the automatic, so forget the pedal shifters. The screens are fast and bright, the buttons I don’t mind at all. Usable pretty quickly without looking, like the sliding feature for the volume especially. Interior is very beautiful and clean, materials excellent, a very nice place to be, with a crisp and quick but not hectic feeling autogefühl.

Great video and execution on a sitcom lenght video. Delivered key information with the just right amount of personal preferences. Your 100% right about the single thin bar under the screen that tiny volume switch and touch screen climate control is not safety foward. The sun roof controls kills me deep inside my soul. Correct me if I am wrong but does anyone intentionally drive with the sunroof screen and or sun roof partially open? (Not referring to the vent tilt) it should be a convenient 4 tap button. Screen is closed... 1 tap opens screen, 2 taps vent, 3 taps fully opens sunroof and vise versa and finally 4 or more quick secussion taps will close sunroof and screen from any position. In the event of rain or a dangerous panic situation it would nice and cost cutting. It also takes the longest to close and should continue to close during and after exiting. Plus no more having to hit the start button because you forgot to close it up. No more sitting and waiting for the screen to close so you can hit it again and wait until it's closed to open your door. (Mercedes if your reading. I have a ton of product innovation experience focusing on functionality, design and future preparedness. I am available for full time employment)

8:58 No man, nobody can complain enough about the capacitive buttons. The warm, cheap feeling freaking finger print magnets without usability and tactile feel. They are 100% cost savings, they improve nothing but the OEM profits, which is the only thing OEMs care about as long as they sell. And if its every OEM who does that, then the consumer has no choice but to go for them, validating the suits' decision. Sad times.
