In-depth buyer’s guide for the W206 Mercedes-Benz Class, including engines, wheels, suspension, colour, interior and trim.
Tom provides an update on the Chasing Cars long-term review of the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C200 Edition C and gives a buyer’s guide overview of how to avoid ending up with a badly specified C-Class.
It is possible to buy a C-Class with great dynamics and a polished ride, but it requires being very careful with the options list.
Specs of our C-Class long-term review vehicle:
* C200
* Edition C trim grade
* Vision package
* Selenite grey paint
* Beige Artico/silver-grey trim interior
* 18” wheels
* Passive dampers
* About $88,000 driveaway
Time codes:
0:00 - Intro
Purpose of this buyer’s guide
1:50 - Edition C trim grade
2:45 - 18-inch wheels recommended
3:27 - The best exterior colours
3:49 - Interior & trim choices
6:12 - Which engine is best?
9:39 - Avoid adaptive dampers
12:20 - The sweet spot revealed
As always, we don’t accept advertising from car manufacturers, and we’re powered by Budget Direct - so this is an independent, honest review of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Hi Tom, always pleasant to watch you reviewed on cars. I have read and watched quite a few reviews on Chasing Cars, Drive, Carsales, CarExpert, so on and so forth, it is a bit disappointed that no one mentions speakers. I am fully aware of semiconductors shortage, and I saw a new merc specs, it should be 16 Burmeiser speakers but only 5 were installed. Can you kindly tell me how many Burmester speakers in your car? This is important to me before I go for C200. Many thanks. Excellent review by the way.

A very interesting review, especially re suspension control, l drive a 2021 Passat Business sedan 140tsi but I’ve always loved the C class Mercedes and the BMW 3 series, when I see the Mercedes interior it’s on another level but my Passat was $50,000new ( mine was a demonstrator at$44,800) unfortunately no longer available in sedan form. I’m not sure what I would replace it with when it comes time to sell. How do you think a Arteon 140 tsi would compare with the C200 ignoring the Benzes badge of course. Thanks for an interesting review.

@robertmiedema3541
@robertmiedema3541 Жыл бұрын
@@sanibel1108 Hi Mike, I was able to test them both. I just like the AMG line a lot more in terms of how it looks. The diamond grill is amazing and I'm just OK with the small difference in performance (C180 vs C200). The AMG C180 just feels more sporty, because it looks more sporty to me. I used to drive an S550, so this is something completely different. But overall I like the car a lot for the budget and all the features. There are some small annoying things such as I don't really think the wireless charger is very good and the controls for the roof feels "cheap". I love the interior, the endless amount of cool features, the dynamic lightning is crazy cool and it feels like a Mini-S class (Mercedes sales people will also tell you that, lol) but I would give my C180 a solid 8.7/10.

We have owed a C250 and now have the C43. Both 205 chassis and both beautiful cars but I think your a little hard on the C43. If you expect it to drive like a C200 your going to be disappointed. If you drive it hard your going to be excited and love it. They are an awesome angry little car when your in the mood and quiet settled in comfort. In sports and sports + the gearbox is excellent when driving it as intended. Driving it like a nanna in sports the gear change can be a little abrupt but nothing to be concerned about. The C43 handles excellently in the corners at speed. We love it.

I test drove today a C300 avangard - because a C220d was not aviable but... hell what a beast ... and so quite in driving... and so fast, and so smooth if you only touch the gas pedal .... but in the same way ... damn what a plastic bomber in comparison to our A-Class W176 AMG-Line... Our 9 year old A-Class looks and feels WAY more quality inside than the c-class... really ... Every touch on the plastic makes noises like "pls dont push me too hard or i will break apart...". Or the door sound, when you close them, that sounds soo cheap against our A-Class or W205... You think you close the door of a FIAT... And the knees while driving... you have to press them if you want or not against hard metal from the doors... and our big display often lagged so much... and one time then it stopped working ... its really disappointing ... to drive its really great and feels fantastic... but if i saw that the car costs close to 80.000 dollar... feels like a 40.000 car inside ... was really disappointing ...

I had this car as long term rent. Got it with 50 km on the counter. After 1000 km died electronics. The rental company replace that on with another one, with 300 km on the counter. After 3000 km engine blew. They give me back the first one after it was 'fixed' and after that, until i return it with 35 000 km and 1 year after i had few more visits to service because of electronics. Material quality is not even close to 3 series or A4, not even VW Passat. Design is great. Gearbox great. C220 d is powerful, very very punchy and it can reach almost 240 km/h. Amazing for 2 liter diesel. I had also last two variants of C 220 d. They were much much better in terms of reliability. Interior quality was the same.

I have C180 estate (1.5 engine for EU market) with avantgarde package and some additional equipment. The most annoying thing is the quality of interior. There are so many parts that squeek that sometimes it is hard to find the source of these annoying voices. The fuel consumption is acceptable in the city but it is really shines in highways (6 liters/100km when you drive 120km/h). I like 360 cameras and MBUX works well in general however there are some stupid bugs which are really annoying.

I do not like the interior finish selections at all especially the console. This seems very cheap plastic look and feel. Some models have leather dashboard cover with horizontal stitching and even with a contrast stitching color looks amazing and more appealing in my opinion.

The C Class really devalues the entire marque. The E Class should be the entry level car.

I don't see how that is true when the new C200 is such a good entry-level luxury vehicle. The days of the E-Class being the junior Mercedes ended in the 1980s and they are not returning. These days it is the A-Class, CLA and GLA that are the entry point, but the premium feel traditionally kicks in with the RWD models.

The BMW just trumps the new C, with the face-lifted 3! (I work in used executive car sales, and have no brand preference. Credit where due) And this "new C-Class's" 4-pot ONLY engine lineup is just sad (since it sounds rubbish, like a cheap Polo or Corsa...), while Audi and BMW still offer classy, beautiful, and lovely 6-cylinder acoustics in their C-Class rivals!

It might, if BMW Australia didn't hobble the 320i with an overly stiff suspension. And, to make matters worse, they've made the optional suspension unavailable on the 320i. So then, you have to buy the 330i at $100K driveaway. With the 3 Series, it's the opposite situation to the C-Class: with the BMW, you need the adaptive suspension to make it ride properly, whereas the C-Class is better on passive, non-adaptive dampers.

It’s a Mercedes engine, you’re confusing it for the Renault 1.3-litre, which is no relation. The G30 540i is a lovely car, but far more expensive!
