I think a lot of the younger crowd is discounting the C43 because it has a 4 cylinder so it was dead to many people even before it was even released, but from the reviews it does seem like a very capable car. One thing that worries me however is how many reviewers have talked about how the C43 drives at lower speeds. Almost everyone has mentioned that this car doesn't perform that well during city-driving. I think this car really shines in the highway and at higher speeds, but that's possibly a small percentage of where people are driving their car on a daily basis. For that reason I think you almost have to consider other competitors like a BMW M340i or an Audi S4 in your decision, that are better suited for city-driving.

Mercedes is dying in the design process to put piano black anywhere that is high traffic for finger prints. I actually can’t wrap my mind around it. It’s almost like they think, “where do people put their fingers the most?” “Let’s surround those areas in piano black for no reason”. I’m surprised they haven’t moved the piano black from the massive sections of the steering wheel on over to the actual wheel itself, considering your hands are touching it 90% of the time you’re in the vehicle. If we apply their logic; the leather should be replaced with slick piano black, so you have a place to put your greasy hands and make it covered in lint and nasty smudges.

I’m looking at them now solely for the fact that they’re available dirt cheap, especially considering it wears an AMG badge. I’m considering buying one for my daily driver, I’m not going into it expecting performance or to love the engine, but I get a very nice comfortable car with amg styling, a cool interior, for 50k. That’s an absolute steal and I plan on capitalizing on the general dislike of this car. I imagine it’s going to hurt the resale value quite a bit but I think I can get such a good price on one that it won’t matter all that much. Who knows maybe it magically grows a cult following and people want it down the road, I doubt it, the powertrain decision was a completely unnecessary disaster. If you’re like me and don’t expect it to be a sports car, I think 50k for one of these is beyond reasonable.

AMG is essentially dead now in my mind.

Mercedes just keeps setting the bar lower and lower... "AMG" is now a joke

I've got the same car, 2000 cc 4WD turbo-diesel (please don't laugh), bought in 2022. Comparing the 2 Mercedes, my car has exactly half the horsepower, I drive it with a lot of confidence and mastery, with the 'sport' engine/suspension/gearbox setting... I always wonder if I would be able to handle a car with 400 horsepower...Probably yes, but for sure not using all its enormous power and, to be more relaxed and focused, I would have to try a 'monster-car' like the C43 on a track, without traffic and without the fear of creating fatal accidents. Am I wrong?

Save your money and get a BMW M340i xDrive. Fully loaded it’s $10,000 less, has a AMAZING inline 6, and looks a lot better.

Man the heads up display / infotainment system in that car looks like such a cluttered mess

Hiding the speed in the tachometer only makes sense if you don't forget the head up display as well. Just saying

You might of wanted to check the air pressure of the tires. Car is very sensitive to tire pressure with the Michelin PS4. Also with launch control tap the right paddle once to bump RPM up when launching.

You mean while it’s launching, you tap the right paddle to bump up the RPM?
@briangibson9102 Жыл бұрын
Before you launch up the rpm with a tap of the right paddle. I believe it allows one bump up.@@TankeTrender
