8 Reasons why the Mercedes C43 is the perfect first AMG

In this video we take a look at why I think the Mercedes C43 AMG is the best first AMG. If your looking to get into the world of AMG, the C43 is a introduction to Mercedes high performance line. It creates a perfect stepping stone towards the more bigger and extreme C63 and C63s.

This video features the C43 AMG which is one of the AMG performance versions of the Mercedes C Class. My car is the 2019 C43 AMG Saloon or the C43 AMG Sedan for those across the pound :)

The C43 gives you that great AMG sound from the AMG performance and also the luxury of a Mercedes Benz

This is the W205 Class. The 2019 C43 AMG

Its my first AMG, I have a 2019, bought it 2 years ago, absolutely fell in love with it the first time I drove it. Great car for money, hands down!

Yeah I actually test drove the c63 and the c43 back to back several times before deciding to buy the c43 last year. It's not as much about the money but more about the awd system. Off the line to 60mph, the c43 can sometimes beat the c63 due to more traction. I got a eurocharged tune and it's now making about 80hp more than stock and is lighter than the c63. It feels much faster from a launch than a c63 now. I find this a better option since you can always make a car faster but you can't really make a RWD car into an AWD car.

C43 is my first AMG! Bought a 2017 used one three weeks ago.

Another great video - thanks again! For me, I purchased my new C43 sedan with switchable exhaust just 2 weeks ago and I haven’t looked back. Agree entirely with your summary and to reinforce: My main reasons / factors were: price (have to draw a line somewhere), power to weight, safety features, quality, style, daily drive and some excitement. For me the C43 won out as it was the ideal ‘goldilocks’ car - it was just right. Ruled many cars out through simple internet searches and Ruled out the Audi S5 quickly: nice car, great performance but too bland. Test drive the BMW 340i and C43 several times and found it hard to decide. BMW with a better drivetrain and better tech (my opinion) but C43 with more prestigious styling inside and out and wow, just a better sound! For me, it was head (BMW) vs hear (C43) and a tough call. Figuring, I couldn’t make a wrong decision, I went with my heart and haven’t looked back. Love the Mercedes and love the way it makes me feel when I drive it. The wife loves the sound too - which surprises me, I thought she was supposed to be the sensible one between us!

Perhaps I have rambled a little here, but written to maybe help others in

I’m hopefully getting a used 2019 C43 coupe in august! Hope prices would be lower after the new C class generation came out.

This car is exciting. When i take off at the red light, those pops and bangs drive other drivers wild. They love it. 90% of my driving has been in sport+ mode. Does anyone ever drive in comfort mode in this car?

Not gonna lie. This channel helped me with my purchase. I'm now the proud owner of an Audi.... Just kidding! Black with night package estate/wagon. It's great. Keep showing me tips!

Thanks for the video. I bought a 2016 C450 with 51, 000 miles about 1.5 yrs ago. It has about 72, 000 miles now. I've enjoyed the car alot, and it has been mostly reliable so far. But maintenance is quite expensive. The only repair needed so far has been the coolant thermostat stuck open, which cost about $800USD parts and labor. Maintenance has been pads and rotors ($1200US), transmission fluid/filter change ($800US), oil changes of course, and straightening 3 of the rims. It uses about 0.5 quarts of oil every 5000 miles. It costs about $170US per oil change because I buy the LiquiMoly oil and OEM filter, and pay an oil change shop to do the work. I change the oil every 5-6k miles, rather than the 10k mfg suggested interval, but I dont know if thats necessary. The big rims look sweet, but the low profile tires dont protect from pot holes very well. I hate not having a spare, but you would need to have 2 spares and not enough room for that, so I roll the dice.

This channel defo helped me make my mind up, I bought a C43 magno grey 68 plate from Mercedes Gatwick 4 weeks ago. Love it, my lads no longer have car barrasment! Learned a few bits too from your vids👍🏻

[olivierdevries]

I have a C43 myself. Love the engine sound. It's plenty of power for the road. Sure a C63 makes a difference on a track but that's it. And the 4Matic just puts the power down.

[gianniferrari]

I've owned one for almost 2 months now. 2018 with the night package. The car is excellent, don't let any internet troll tell you differently. Test drove Maseratis, Aston Martin, you name it under 100k. This car is a perfect daily driver, and fast enough you dont feel like it'll kill you, but perfect for freeway bypasses

[garychadbond]

purchased a 2017 C43 Convertible in December with performance exhaust roof down valves open = massive grin factor nice videos :)

[comeonman]

Fantastic review, awesome noise! Seems like an underrated AMG. The prices aren’t too different from an A45 but I prefer this a lot more. Especially since the c43 is based on the C class and has a much newer interior and exterior

[clubbizarre]

will try to somehow get my hands on a 2019 C63 used someday... and if it fails, I'm relieved to know I can count on the C43 to be an awesome car as well

[VonDogan]

I also bought the c43 sedan 2019 and its the absolut perfect daily driver!

[DADDY_TOBIAS]

Im on a C250 2015 Estate at 18. A C43 will definitely be in my hands before i turn 20!

[amgev]

Really enjoying the increased production of your videos 🔥

[gotseoul]

Been looking at low mileage (20-30kmi) '19 or '20 CLA45 or a C43...some days I go back and forth between them. I do believe I have researched them enough to decide on a C43 (2020) Originally just wanted a 2019 with the optional digital dash but 2020 refreshes even more so I'm probably going to settle on that. Next step is a test drive of both CLA and C models then a decision within the next month or two. Can't wait.

[yasinazizabir]

Thank you so much. I'm actually in the market to get a c43. It inspired me a lot.

[Porschefar]

Just got a c43 december last year, had porsche before, but gotta admit you get more bang for the buck in a mercedes
