Enjoyed our video review of the Proton Iriz? Well, we now elevate things a few notches, into compact exec territory. The second video in our brand new series, brought to you by 4G LTE PortaWiFi by Celcom, sees yours truly slink into the driver’s seat of the new W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, push the starter button and flick the gear selector stalk into Drive.
The RM286k C 200 Avantgarde is our specimen for the day – the entry-level C-Class’ 2.0 litre four-cylinder turbo feeds 184 hp and 300 Nm of torque to the back wheels via a seven-speed 7G-Tronic Plus auto. Sounds great, but what’s everything like in practice, allied to that 15 mm-lower Agility Control suspension? Answers to this and more in the video, including our musings from that expansive back seat.
Most importantly, does the new C-Class have enough talent to worry the long-reigning ruler of compact execs that is the BMW 3 Series, and enough qualities to entice the cash out of your stash?

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments reflect a mix of opinions on the Mercedes-Benz W205 C-Class, with many praising its comfort, refinement, and build quality, especially in comparison to BMW and Audi rivals. Some appreciate the extended 4-year warranty versus shorter ones, viewing it as a sign of manufacturer confidence. However, frustrations are voiced about the rear bench size, sluggish 7-speed gearbox, and the high price point. Several commenters compare the W205 to other models like the BMW 3 Series, Lexus ES, and Audi A4, debating value and driving experience. A few off-topic or heated exchanges contrast the Mercedes with Proton cars or criticize other brands. Overall, the sentiment is generally positive about the car's luxury and ride, but some highlight areas for improvement, especially regarding performance and practicality.
