2018 Mercedes Benz-AMG C43 Coupe Full Review, This is a very good car!

PROS

- Great Engine and power, tons of torque from very low RPM 2000, very linear power and Turbo lag is very little
- Quality interior and material used from CF, Alcantara and NAPPA, luxurious all the way
- Exterior is nice and masculine
- Exhaust is superb and growly, little of crackles on downshifts

CONS

-Front Grill should be taken from the C63, the current looks very Mercedes like and doesn't feel special
-gearbox is very smooth (Gtronic 9 Speed Auto) can get a bit boring keep switching gears and not very aggressive changes, on Manual mode it keep interfering a lot with how u hold the gears, it want to shift the gears for you all the time and doesn't like to Revs.
- TC keep interfering a lot, the car must be put in SPORT Mode TC
- Central Console starts to looks old and the Middle Screen stuck on dash

In general the car have a lot of soul because of the Engine and Exhaust Sound while keeping all the comfort and luxury.

The C43 does not have a DCT. It is a standard 9G Tronic.

Only the 45s have a DCT. the 63s use a MCT.

How did you feel about the quality of the leather and the look of the red leather specifically?

Bashar Halabi

I Really Liked the Leather but not the extended leather as Mercedes in those classes do not fix the good leather on the Dash like the BMW M Cars. in General terms also As I have owned the A45 with had the first designs for the Current Performance Seats they were so hot! I think with the facelift those must be ordered as well

Would you choose the C43 over the E Class 300 ???
