Odd, because looking at the camera pointed back into the car, the interior looks extremely bland. Something you'd see in a 4-cylinder Gaymaro or Shitstang. Exposed metal bars on the headrests, lolol tacky. No contrast stitching on the leather... are you effing kidding me? Way too many seams on the seats... just looks re-dick-u-less. And for this kind of money, you'd think you'd at least get gold plated seat belt clips... not the fire-engine red and black plastic. The dashboard and doors are nice... everything else... yuuck. And hey, notice how Douchey 14:36 has his cell phone resting against the plastic screen. So literally every bump or vibration is translated directly from his abrasive phone case, directly to the highly scratchable dashboard screen. lolol.
@@reginafalconer7585 That's great to hear! I'm curious: What does the repair bills look like? Has anything massive, like transmission, engine, etc., failed before ? like reliability Regardless, I love how the car looks and it looks super comfy, have fun!
I've done 300.000 km in my Merc W124 250D and it doesn't even cough. I'm sure this S-class is reliable, but with this much tech feels like a time ticking bomb for problems.
The engines and body m,materials are great. It's everything else. The air suspension is the biggest point of failure on these cars. The ABC is great, but not needed unless you are doing Autobahn type of driving. When the ABC goes and it's not covered under warranty I suggest a high limit credit card.
I'm a hands-on driver and would love to have that "push the break really hard to hold" even on my manual F30. It's like hill assist on a flat plane, and helps with leg fatigue. It's the little things like that which make a difference!
"5 things I love about my huracan" "5 things I hate about my huracan" "My life with a huracan" "My huracan broke!" "Huracan at cars and coffee" *repeat with next car* Basically Vehicle Virgins
E Class got a little bit less quality in the interior. Still better than many other manufacturers but compared to the s class it's 'cheaper'. And the landing gear/shock absorber/air matic/glas-isolation is in the s class from another world and almost not comparable to the e class.
Huge difference in the level of interior quality going from the E to the S Class though. I have been looking for a replacement for my BMW745i over the past two weeks, and the E Class is a big step down in level of quality while the S Class is on par or above.
Parker, call your local Chevrolet dealerships and see if any of them will allow you to drive/review a new 2017 Chevy Camaro ZL1. Pretty please, before it snows.
I just purchased a 2016 S550 with super low miles and i am impressed at the customer service from Mercedes benz service department. It’s fantastic, although i hope i dont need their service too often. Great videos!! Thanks
One thing that had me impressed about s550 is the windshield wipers. They sense that you got some liquid on your windshield and automatically wipe it off even if you turned them off. That’s pretty smart
i have a 98 s 500 with 64k miles and it drives like a dream cloud.. i wouldnt trade it for a 2020 sclass.. i just love how strong and tough the body is...
My 2004 LS-430 has over 100,000 miles, and has had no hiccup whatsoever. It is a car that I don't expect any hiccups util at least 200,000 miles. I laughed when you said 7,700 miles and no hiccup. Shit reliability of German cars have made people celebrate if their cars don't break within a year lol. I still like the S550 though. It is a great car.
$3,500/mo for RR Wraith? Hmm... I just need to get a job making at least $7,000/mo with an apartment at around $2,000/mo or less... I could be driving the cream of the crop! Unfortunately I only make around $1,800/mo... got a long way to go
James Goodwin The Wraith? Sounds like he was saying just for leasing it, which is typically cheaper monthly than trying to own. So no you would only keep it for a contracted period of time.
Our 2004 W220 S-500 4-Matic is just as quick, smooth, quiet, and reliable as it was when we bought it in 2005, 210,000 miles later. it's really quite well done, and the w220 is generally regarded as one of the least well put together Mercedes in recent issues.
UConnhuskyandrewnduati : I agree...have a 2002 S500...no payments and it's better than any $40k car that to this day doesn't offer the options I have on my 14yo car! ABC suspension is by far the best of those features.
My moms got a GLE350 and not going to lie the back seat kind of sucks especially in sunny california mainly for one reason, that being the air conditioning. In the back there are only two tiny vents in the middle that do a very lousy job of cooling down the massive interior.
It's a lease vehicle, meaning it's not really YOUR car, you are essentially renting it from the dealer and paying for the depreciation. So how is there a warranty that can be voided? My understanding was you can do any modifications to a lease vehicle as long as it doesn't damage the car or can't be undone. My point being that you could probably do an intake, tune, etc. some simple mods.
John Doe Well something like that is something that cannot be undone without replacing the calipers, what about an exhaust? Couldn't you put one on then when it comes time to return the car you put the OEM one back on?
"Some really good German engineering involved in this and if the passenger *slam* wants to open it they *slam* have got a button *slam* on the other side. *slam* You've got USB- ALRIGHT SHUT DAMN IT!" - This kind of stuff makes me LMAO
The S-Class has always been my dream car, but after seeing the new Genesis G90, I think I'd choose that over the S-Class.. Hyundai has come a long way. However, I do believe that the S-Class is still superior in many ways, but that gap is narrowing.
I've been looking at the Renntech ECU tune for my E550 coupe and from my understanding it doesn't void the warranty. Something to do with the owner of Renntech working with Mercedes. Could be wrong but you should look into it. The M278 engine is fantastic in stock form but 540HP and 705 lb-ft of torque? Yes please. Also, adaptive high beams are fucking awesome.
Hi, I have seen the S Class before and have always been wondering, what the square in the grill is for, the one under the Mercedes hood emblem. Any chance you know what it is for ? It just seems weird and strange to an otherwise nice appearance.
VidyaBoutCars He said under the emblem.. You are all wrong by the way, the sensors that you are referring to are behind the mirror cap. He was asking about the black sensor on the hood which is Distronic Plus
SouthwestFr3ak Which does exactly what I said. Looks at objects in front of you for adaptive cruise control etc. Also, distronic plus also utilizes other censors for the optional steer assist.
Not going to lie that break assist that keeps the break on at a red light would be so nice. I always put my car in park if I know I will have to wait awhile. . .
I don't know if it's just me but when he talks about nothing has gone wrong with the car since he bought is, I mean that's pretty normal that an expensive car like a big Mercedes doesn't break or anything after only 10000 miles. That is really normal. I would say a car is pretty shit quality if it breaks in anyway before it has reached 10000 miles.
somebody who likes higher quality audio than bluetooth? somebody that isn't a dumbass apple fanboy and has an android because they are much better phones?
Every time on Sundays when I go to church, I see S Class from S550 4MATIC to Maybach S600 around. The design and technology of that car looks more beautiful. Someone told me that the difference between the S550 and the Maybach S600 is the space and leg room. She made to me that " the S550 4MATIC has more leg room and space than the Mercedes-Maybach S600 because I needed to consider taking long trips and carrying luggage off." It was hard to believe.
I had this model - it was a ho hum experience frankly. I traded it on a 2022 RAM 1500 Longhorn. I love the ride, reliability, safety, and luxury of the RAM at half the cost,
Interesting fact: Magic Body Control is not an upgraded air suspension, it’s based on a standard spring and shock with hydraulic actuators. The more you know...
S class is a really excellent car, no deny. The only problem is you Parker, because in my country minimum S class driving age is 65. Car does not suit you and you do not suit S class, sorry.
Samir Hadj You know, I like a lot of things, but some shit you say no to, whether it be due to social pressure or other reasons. As Parker said, he is in his last semester. Would you drive to uni in a S-class? I'd be afraid that someone would scuff the car, cause it looks out of place as it's surrounded by cars of an average value between 4k & 8k USD.
That's straight up bs. Maybe they were bought in his name but just think about it. Even if temporary jobs as an engineer. He went to college full time, no time to work, and this UA-cam channel isn't exactly nearing PewDiePie in views per week. His father probably gives him a lot of money to buy and lease these cars, and that's perfectly fine. But he did not pay for these like he says, lol.
Guys I want to replace my e30 with a luxury land yacht with a slushbox automatic. Less than 10k, not going to put me out of house and home to maintain. What do I buy?
I liked your video alot I was going to buy a 2016 s550 and I'm waiting for the 2017 s550 because the dual screens will have more options(features). and also I couldn't find any s550 with the options I wanted so looks like I'll be ordering a 2017 s550 when they start coming out.
The W222 outsells the BMW 7, the Jaguar XJ , the Audi A8 and EVERYTHING ELSE in its price range for 2 simple reasons: #1 IT'S YUUUUUUUGE. I'm 6'6" and I can *swim* in the driver's seat - it's so big. You could get 4 of me in that car comfortably. #2 The interior design doesn't look like a "regular car". The other cars in that range look like high-end versions of regular cars. I made a video of the BMW 7 2016 vs. the S-class and although I liked the BMW, I LOVE MY S-CLASS.
Jevon butler Ain't no hurry in the world. If I'm putting more than $50K for any car it's going to be how I want it. If I can't get it atm I'd wait, otherwise it would feel like I'm settling which is kind of dumb if you're paying that much.
Yall may have addressed this before but A) How do you balance being full time student as well a UA-cam channel? B) Do you have any side businesses or is it all UA-cam related in order to afford these cars?
I work at a factory that makes safety components for chrysler/ford/gm/bmw/mercades and the weird thing is that any "S550" parts that go through the presses i work on go to the ford mustang.
I'm just saying. With traction control off and heavy rain and a heavy foot the 300 spins till 3. Throwing it a round is pretty easy. I only have te 3.7 and it's fun, especially since it tops off at 120 stock at 4000ish pounds and rather quickly.
Avalons were for old people, then look at what happened after the redesign in 2013. Highoolers think they are the new gangster cars now instead of Chargers.
Because we didn't learn from the earlier 760i and what a piece of shit that was. I'd be waiting at least 2-3 years before getting one, because those cars were atrocious.
Good to know you are solidly intimate with the S Class. So I hope you do a video when you can get your hands on a G90 avoiding all the cliches and saying how close or far they got. Not buying the MB, too much money for me to spend.
Actually this car is intended to let you drive by a chauffeur, not drive it by yourself. You must look hilarious haha. But I guess you Americans can't get those things.
Nice to see someone under 40 appreciating these engineering masterpieces as I do...@8:19: A nitpick from an ABC-equipped W220 owner...Magic Body Control is an ABC -based hydropneumatic setup hooked to a road sensing stereo camera, not an air suspension like Airmatic.
You're watching it - why do you think the plate says UA-cam? Ever looked into what a successful UA-cam channel can make annually? Even if his family has money, he's doing just fine on his own and seems to be completing a quality degree while doing so.
Philip DeFranco made $181k from UA-cam alone in 2010, and has only gotten larger and larger. He has since expanded to 6mill subscribers and 7x the amount of video views. Philip DeFranco could certainly be driving one of each of those if he wanted to. He had an estimated Net Worth in 2015 of $3,000,000.
Lovely review, never felt bored, my only small remark is that the Hold function is very old, we had it on an E class that we bought in 2009, and it came as standard we did not specify that, so it must have been standard on the S class coupe of years even before that, Good job, fellow engineer :)
Just an FYI most of that tech is on every mercedes. I have an ML350 and it does the brake thing at a light, and i have distronic plus....I have put 65k miles on my car now, one thing i have noticed is bumps have got much worse...I think the shocks go bad after 60k some miles...have to replace those soon
I would like to hear some insurance and maintenance rates compare to other "Normal" cars. =) Good to see the actual owning experiences of this car. Enjoyed very much of this video. Thank you ^^
tirachina: Insurance on any contemporary car-even a Ford or GM or Toyota offering-can be shockingly high if it has electronics and sensors on the exterior. If you get in a wreck in a $40k self parking surround view camera Ford, it will be many thousands of dollars to fix just like the Benz.
"7700 Miles and no hiccup"
That's not reliability, that's an expectation.
Andrew Padilla LOL for real.
NihselAuto I'm at 47k on my Cadillac ATS and no problems at all either. Cars this days are just great reliability wise.
exactly 😂 come back when it has 200+k miles then we can say that reliability
Roberto Ferreira True but nowadays new generation of cars come out every 4-5 years so I guess people never get to know for sure.
Moaiz Shahzad Agreed, guess all depends on the use of the car but yeah this car will deffo not be reaching those kind of figures haha
The build quality of the S Class is amazing but they're so common especially in black that they're the Camry of rich people.
NikoBell12 true but he lives in Pennsylvania so it isn't like LA where everyone has one
Odd, because looking at the camera pointed back into the car, the interior looks extremely bland. Something you'd see in a 4-cylinder Gaymaro or Shitstang.
Exposed metal bars on the headrests, lolol tacky.
No contrast stitching on the leather... are you effing kidding me?
Way too many seams on the seats... just looks re-dick-u-less.
And for this kind of money, you'd think you'd at least get gold plated seat belt clips... not the fire-engine red and black plastic.
The dashboard and doors are nice... everything else... yuuck.
And hey, notice how Douchey 14:36 has his cell phone resting against the plastic screen. So literally every bump or vibration is translated directly from his abrasive phone case, directly to the highly scratchable dashboard screen. lolol.
drone dude *michigan
drone dude
I live in San Antonio, TX. Not exactly LA but when I go to the nicer parts of town they're very common.
In Singapore, the average Camry cost as much as the Mercedes S class in the States. What a country to live in.
As a new owner of a 2015 S550....I'm going to love love love road trips ...amazing vehicle to drive....
How is it holding up?
So far so good. Bought from private owner that took great care of it. Still learning how it operates...
@@reginafalconer7585 That's great to hear! I'm curious: What does the repair bills look like? Has anything massive, like transmission, engine, etc., failed before ? like reliability
Regardless, I love how the car looks and it looks super comfy, have fun!
$1450/month and $10k down...Thats more like a mortgage not a lease
Alumnikiid shit more than my mortgage here in Colorado
Alumnikiid that's to finance right? What about to lease?
ayyylmao NOT finance, that's almost $45k for a 2 year lease.
Alumnikiid God dayumn that's crazy
Alumnikiid I pay 1300$ for my house a month
Can't wait until this car fully devalues for normal people.
soon.
B Hobbs give it 3 years lmao
and hope that the maintenance costs won't be through the roof
and please don't kill me if I'm wrong or if these are reliable in 3 years
these cars aren't reliable after 4 years. that's why they're next to worthless after a few years
I've done 300.000 km in my Merc W124 250D and it doesn't even cough.
I'm sure this S-class is reliable, but with this much tech feels like a time ticking bomb for problems.
kerk tp it's a diesel you can get at least 600.000 km out of it
Chris Trick I'm hoping for over 1 million without major engine repairs, but old Mercedes petrol engines are reliable af as well.
The engines and body m,materials are great. It's everything else. The air suspension is the biggest point of failure on these cars. The ABC is great, but not needed unless you are doing Autobahn type of driving. When the ABC goes and it's not covered under warranty I suggest a high limit credit card.
TA1199 the air suspension is covered under warrenty for 4 years or 50000 miles .
I'm a hands-on driver and would love to have that "push the break really hard to hold" even on my manual F30. It's like hill assist on a flat plane, and helps with leg fatigue. It's the little things like that which make a difference!

Only problem with the S Class is that the E Class exists for less than half the price...
raheemdot It's called be pro and not saving money?!
E Class is a bit better looking. I don't like the dropping line on the side of the S.
E Class got a little bit less quality in the interior. Still better than many other manufacturers but compared to the s class it's 'cheaper'. And the landing gear/shock absorber/air matic/glas-isolation is in the s class from another world and almost not comparable to the e class.
Huge difference in the level of interior quality going from the E to the S Class though. I have been looking for a replacement for my BMW745i over the past two weeks, and the E Class is a big step down in level of quality while the S Class is on par or above.
Only problem with the E Class is that the C Class exists for less than half the price...
Mercedes classes in a nutshell:
C is for cheap
B is for basic
E is for expensive
S is for stealing your money
G is for get the fuck out of here
Josh _ and the s65 amg are two houses

MAN_ON_WHEELZ do you own it after or is it rent
James Goodwin The Wraith? Sounds like he was saying just for leasing it, which is typically cheaper monthly than trying to own. So no you would only keep it for a contracted period of time.
he said it's 75000 down and then 3500 a month if you're still considering the wraith you have some serious saving to do.
***** Fucking hell, I missed that part, well, If I had a job making that kind of a money I'm sure I could save that up in a year or two.

ShawnTheGreatHD They usually want the car back the same way they leased it to you
waysideme Correct, but Parker said there was a warranty to be voided. On a lease vehicle the lessee doesn't pay for any repairs excluding wear items.
John Doe Well something like that is something that cannot be undone without replacing the calipers, what about an exhaust? Couldn't you put one on then when it comes time to return the car you put the OEM one back on?
in theory you could. but since it isnt your car it's kind of a waste of money

Thank you
what southwestfr3ak said, in laymans terms, a housing for sensors that look at the road and objects in front of you.
VidyaBoutCars He said under the emblem.. You are all wrong by the way, the sensors that you are referring to are behind the mirror cap. He was asking about the black sensor on the hood which is Distronic Plus

HOLD function is 10y+ old and most useful in manual car, while stopped on hill... you don't have to hold break, while still not being automatic
Does it have an aux tho?
SAMBA no you plug it in via thunder port so it charges and plays music at the Same god damn time
SAMBA who needs an aux chord when you have an iPhone
SAMBA Yup, USB port and bluetooth
somebody who likes higher quality audio than bluetooth? somebody that isn't a dumbass apple fanboy and has an android because they are much better phones?
Best quality is digital - not Aux or Bluetooth.
Parker, you are such a good reviewer, every time I watch your video, its such a pleasure. Very nice work man, keet it up

Samir Hadj You know, I like a lot of things, but some shit you say no to, whether it be due to social pressure or other reasons. As Parker said, he is in his last semester. Would you drive to uni in a S-class? I'd be afraid that someone would scuff the car, cause it looks out of place as it's surrounded by cars of an average value between 4k & 8k USD.
In my opinion , Mercedes is for politician .
Oh, it has amazing engine, great looking interior.
Very strong acceleration and massage seat is must have for me, so cool!
I'm an upcoming entrepreneur.. I'd like to know what this guy does to make money..
Daddy money. He admits this. His job is UA-cam but obviously that will not pay for all of his ridiculously expensive cars.
Violetta plus he had temporary engineer jobs, but agreed. He has a lot of nice things for still finishing school.
One thing to note down is that He definitely works hard
he's payed for all of his cars, the m5, the gallardo, crashed, got sold, leased s550, bought huracan, no daddy or mommy help
That's straight up bs. Maybe they were bought in his name but just think about it. Even if temporary jobs as an engineer. He went to college full time, no time to work, and this UA-cam channel isn't exactly nearing PewDiePie in views per week.
His father probably gives him a lot of money to buy and lease these cars, and that's perfectly fine. But he did not pay for these like he says, lol.
Break hold is the best feature I can’t believe other cars don’t have it.
Guys I want to replace my e30 with a luxury land yacht with a slushbox automatic. Less than 10k, not going to put me out of house and home to maintain. What do I buy?
Eileen E30 an 03 s430 would be your best bet
What do you think of an s430 vs an ls400?
Eileen E30 highly highly highly recommend the LS400. I love those cars perfect for getting around in complete luxury for stellar prices
Eileen E30 A nice Lexus Ls430 maybe ultra luxury package if lucky
Eileen E30 if that's all you can afford is 10k I would advise chevy aveo and don't pretend you are rich by driving an old luxury car
I have a custom made ( in Germany) with a factory certificate 20 inch wheels, S 550 4 matic full options, and no car can be better. This guy is right.
12:03 ... wtf?? hahahahaha
I liked your video alot I was going to buy a 2016 s550 and I'm waiting for the 2017 s550 because the dual screens will have more options(features). and also I couldn't find any s550 with the options I wanted so looks like I'll be ordering a 2017 s550 when they start coming out.
dude don't talk about reliability you havent even owned it for a year. lol
The W222 outsells the BMW 7, the Jaguar XJ , the Audi A8 and EVERYTHING ELSE in its price range for 2 simple reasons:
#1 IT'S YUUUUUUUGE. I'm 6'6" and I can *swim* in the driver's seat - it's so big. You could get 4 of me in that car comfortably.
#2 The interior design doesn't look like a "regular car". The other cars in that range look like high-end versions of regular cars.
I made a video of the BMW 7 2016 vs. the S-class and although I liked the BMW, I LOVE MY S-CLASS.
Why wouldn't you get the nicer leather. It really makes the car look nicer and more like a maubach
Corey Baxter didn't you see the whole videos he said he was in a rush because he wanted a car for the snow
NikoBell12 in the video he said he wanted to spec one out but he instead just bought one off the show room floor because he was in a hurry
NikoBell12 hell yeah
Jevon butler
Ain't no hurry in the world. If I'm putting more than $50K for any car it's going to be how I want it. If I can't get it atm I'd wait, otherwise it would feel like I'm settling which is kind of dumb if you're paying that much.
I like black on black.
Tan interiors only look good in ferraris
Right when he was done saying „not a single thing has gone wrong“ my UA-cam app crashed 😂
One day...one day...,
Remarks about the great German Engineering, then spends 5 minutes trying to close the center console. Glad you left that in.
HILARIOUS! :D
S550 because it snows? Nothing else available under $100,000?
😄😄😂
Yall may have addressed this before but A) How do you balance being full time student as well a UA-cam channel? B) Do you have any side businesses or is it all UA-cam related in order to afford these cars?
what happend to like gravity
this is better review than most of official auto magazines
first comment best channel on youtube!!
I work at a factory that makes safety components for chrysler/ford/gm/bmw/mercades
and the weird thing is that any "S550" parts that go through the presses i work on go to the ford mustang.
Could of got a Chrysler 300c/s or even a srt8 for half the price.
(2011 300 owner and fan....)
Uber Strike ...... Boy if you don't get
I'm just saying. With traction control off and heavy rain and a heavy foot the 300 spins till 3. Throwing it a round is pretty easy. I only have te 3.7 and it's fun, especially since it tops off at 120 stock at 4000ish pounds and rather quickly.
yeah, i just have the w220 mercedes, its doing ok so far and it only cost £2400 . no real issues ... yet.
I have put 15,000 miles in my toyota and not even a problem with AVG milage of 30 mpg
***** you are just mad that I made you realize you wasted your money on shitty useless cars
i actually love these long videos thumbs up!!
S550 is for old people....smh
Not really.
Lol it's probably better than whatever you drive
Avalons were for old people, then look at what happened after the redesign in 2013. Highoolers think they are the new gangster cars now instead of Chargers.
Mikey Mulhearn obviously a six figure worth car is better than what he drives.
No need shame him for not being as privileged as Parker is.
TrueG404 lmao how is it for old people tf 😂😂 I've never been to a dealer ship and they be like no you can't get that car it's for old people 😂😂
I've put 6 people in my '93 Corrado. One was in the trunk. I'm not kidding.
maybe if you replace it you could take a 760i or a s65
Because we didn't learn from the earlier 760i and what a piece of shit that was. I'd be waiting at least 2-3 years before getting one, because those cars were atrocious.
What were we supposed to learn from the previous 760li?
I love the Model of the 2014 S class ever since I saw the 2014 S class I thought it was the most luxurious Class of Mercedes Benz
Get a real S-Class!! S63 is just so much better.
hahahah ur so funny, what do u drive?
M6
hahahhahahah
Good to know you are solidly intimate with the S Class. So I hope you do a video when you can get your hands on a G90 avoiding all the cliches and saying how close or far they got. Not buying the MB, too much money for me to spend.
Actually this car is intended to let you drive by a chauffeur, not drive it by yourself. You must look hilarious haha. But I guess you Americans can't get those things.
QNXDR haha us the part where someone shows you attention? like I just did
Chauffeurs are expensive in the USA. Minimum 50k/year. If you are in some eastern European country you can get by with only paying 10-20k/year
Nice to see someone under 40 appreciating these engineering masterpieces as I do...@8:19: A nitpick from an ABC-equipped W220 owner...Magic Body Control is an ABC -based hydropneumatic setup hooked to a road sensing stereo camera, not an air suspension like Airmatic.
i think the peterbilt 389 has a bigger cabin space
This is all the stuff my dads 2003 745Li has. Like literally every option you mentioned a 13 year old 7 Series has it too.
Wtf is your job?
family
1012 wow... Same but.....
You're watching it - why do you think the plate says UA-cam? Ever looked into what a successful UA-cam channel can make annually? Even if his family has money, he's doing just fine on his own and seems to be completing a quality degree while doing so.
Thomas O'Neill
philip dr franco has more than 5 mil subs. he aint in an s class, lambo, m5, manshion... his dads a billionaire
Philip DeFranco made $181k from UA-cam alone in 2010, and has only gotten larger and larger. He has since expanded to 6mill subscribers and 7x the amount of video views. Philip DeFranco could certainly be driving one of each of those if he wanted to. He had an estimated Net Worth in 2015 of $3,000,000.
Lovely review, never felt bored, my only small remark is that the Hold function is very old, we had it on an E class that we bought in 2009, and it came as standard we did not specify that, so it must have been standard on the S class coupe of years even before that,
Good job, fellow engineer :)
Notice how there is absolutely no outside noise, or any noise of any kind other than his voice in the video? That's Mercedes quality for you :)
Just an FYI most of that tech is on every mercedes. I have an ML350 and it does the brake thing at a light, and i have distronic plus....I have put 65k miles on my car now, one thing i have noticed is bumps have got much worse...I think the shocks go bad after 60k some miles...have to replace those soon
Shutting the center console got me cracking up.
Looks and is as comfy as a cheap 02 model. And that's a good thing.
Best Unbiased review of a car
i work at a great car wash that deals with fancy cars i love to sit in this thing an drive it around the lot lol it really makes you feel rich af
I got a beater with a heater. I love it!
'Long, long day of hard work' lolololol
I love Your films :D I'm from Poland but I understand what are You talking about and I hit "subscribe" button ! :) That's gorgeous S class
I would like to hear some insurance and maintenance rates compare to other "Normal" cars. =)
Good to see the actual owning experiences of this car. Enjoyed very much of this video. Thank you ^^
tirachina: Insurance on any contemporary car-even a Ford or GM or Toyota offering-can be shockingly high if it has electronics and sensors on the exterior. If you get in a wreck in a $40k self parking surround view camera Ford, it will be many thousands of dollars to fix just like the Benz.
