A3 saloon is not a competitor for the C class.  

[whatcar]

*Mercedes' new C-Class* needs to be nothing less than brilliant if it's to beat rivals from Audi, BMW and Jaguar. Is it?
*Watch our video review to find out.*

Since when does the C-Class compete with an "Audi A3 Saloon"? I assume he meant the Audi A4.

[shaf]

I think the interior with the auto transmission looks so much nicer.

[Ioanides]

It is sooo annoying you keep comparing Cclass with A3. A3 is a rival for CLA while A4 is the same class as 3 series and C Class, even if it is due for a new generation.
You should call this channel 'no idea what car'.

[lawrencegiordano]

what an awful review, did he really say it gets noisy on the motorway?

[toonlad]

IMO this car looks so much better than the equivalent 3 series and A4 inside and out even in 2019.

I am looking at a 2015 220 AMG Line 2.2 cdi, great prices too at £15, 000 50k miles.

Not a Mercedes fan here, but this C-Class looks very good and the interior design is excellent. Personally I would still take a BMW 3 Series, but I´m sure many company drivers will be more than happy to spend time in this C-Class interior - Though get the upgraded air suspension and choose an automatic and it´s all well and dandy.

the infotainment system screen looks like a bit of an after thought to me.

Audi A3 = BMW 1 and 2 = Mercedes-Benz A, CLA, GLA
Audi A4 = BMW 3 = Mercedes-Benz C

[AngelKafazov]

Nice review. I think you shouldn't be comparing the C-class with A3, it's rather a A4's rival.

[MaximilianvonPinneberg]

The C class competitor is the A4, not the A3 saloon (there is the CLA for that). A deeply flawed review, which as with all What Car? reviews, seems to be pro VAG, anti Mercedes. For a proper in-depth review look at somewhere like Autogefühl.

[EndofDays]

This is the first review that it didn’t do well. Every other critic gave it great reviews.

[nut]

the technical definition is a little bit different, the Torq may be higher, on renault is 350 nm if a remember right

[marcomambretti]

Could you be pleased to tell me why the hell you tested a C200 Bluetec with manual transmission? Mercedes will sell one c class like that.

[SagaAcademica]

you cant compare 3series, c-class and a3, a4 tho

[mehmetguner]

The 250 is definitely worth the extra £1000... who ever hasn’t driven a 220d and a 250d would never know the difference.
I have a 250d and I wouldn’t change it for most cars out there

[wagbenapo]

I didn't understand why you are nice review by the way but comparing C class to A3 instead of A4

[gregcy]

Nice review. But comparing this C class with any Jag XF is no sense i guess

[niceboy]

I don't like the location of the Satnav it seems like a Afterthought
it might be perceived like the driver forgot his Satnav, as result thief's might brake your windows attempting to take it out
