This guy is tremendous! The "sorry I cut in front of you button" 🤣

[KayMyName]

Love how there's no ads before the video 🔥🔥🌍

Buttons need to make a comeback in cars, what is the point of multiple or large TV's in cars?

[autonewstv]

Full touch controls are so unintuitive and is a huge step backwards. I tried using the Audi dual screen and it is leagues more difficult and distracting vs their levers and knobs.

[medstud]

First time I see this guy. He's very good. He actually commented on seat grip during cornering, which is almost never mentioned. Other reviewers spend half the time rattling stuff from the brochure.

Its competitors are: bmw 3 series and Audi A4. We don't really consider the jaguar as a competition when you look at sales....just my opinion

[dietznutz]

Mercedes interior is where they sell their cars

[Nabilllllll]

For those who keeps complaining about the The C class being similar to the S class. You guys should recheck the history, the C class has always been the mini S class for ages. Checkout W203 C class vs W220 S class and obviously the W205 vs W222 s class.

Take a shot every time he says "tremendous"...

[slagorourke]

Tremendous review. Tremendously made by a Tremendous presenter. Tremendous car, too.

I really like that c-class interior. It’s been a while I haven’t found Mercedes looking so well deigned exterior/interior. I’m appreciative

[mb]

I always feel like I need to get comfortable on the couch with some popcorn when I watch your videos. You make mini feature films!!

[ryanm.]

I really never have been into MB's. However, the latest generations and currently design language really speaks to me. That said, I will keep my Giulia.

[DonLee]

Mercedes know their target audience well. It's all about how rich it looks and feels.

[DesertGhost]

I've been driving my W206 (200 4matic) since January 2022 - i did'nt go completely overboard with extras, and i've been extremely happy with everyday commutes and weekend trips. My only 'negative' would be the touch-volume controls. Having driven the W213 (E-Class) beforehand, i do miss a more haptical volume-"cylinder"-control) ;-)

[patrickbarks]

Considering that this is the entry level for the car and not the AMG line it looks incredible. Wow!

[Max.]

I much prefer the BMW approach of making different cars in different segments actually, you know different...
That avoids these hideous plastic things on the bumper and those embarrassing tailpipes too.

[alexandermilosevic_]

Was excited for this beforehand I saw that the entire button system is touch...

[Mansa-Ali]

Word of the day! "TREMENDOUS"

[peuzpcc]

I have about 5% of my portfolio in uranium stock any advice on any other stock that I can
grow my $300k capital to a million dollars?
