I have this car! I've had it since November 2018, gifted to me from my son-in-law after my Camry was totaled in a 4 car pileup on a rural road up here in NoCa. I love the car. I think it may be my last car since I am 61 and don't put that many miles on it. It has about 80,000 now. It is very comfortable also.
Nice car, but I can't imagine why you would buy an S55 - 2+ tonnes, nearly 500bhp, and then complain about the mileage and wonder about getting a diesel... What work have you had to do to it during the past 6months?
yeah right. you wish. I put thousands upon thousands of dollars into this crap bucket. endless money pit to say the least. one of thee most unreliable and expensive cars to maintain.
" theres a stinkbug in here.. why can't I remember what I wanna say .. " as the slow music comes to an end after randomly starting to play hahah thats funny
I have a 2005 S500 with AMG package. It is amazing. It's such a luxurious smooth ride. I have 20 inch AMG wheels which looks fantastic. The seats are so soft and the cooled seats is great. I will not get a car without cooled seats again
A diesel wouldn’t have made anywhere near the amount of power that the 5.4 makes. Even if they put a power stroke in that mf. A diesel would make sense for a more economy oriented merc.
Not to mention a few little upgrades can bring it up to almost 600 horses
Easily.
Rare to see an S55 review.

Although they are reliable..
it's not a luxury car yes but for what it is Camry's are great cars don't knock them its a excellent product
@@Chrissy212 It was my second Camry!

You are very smart and real Kyle💯 glad to see a young man like you in a s55 amg ‼️
Oh and I do have the original sticker, mine was $104,000 and change.

i have a s500 best decision i ever made yes i wish i could have a 55 or a 65 or a 600 but the 500 is still pretty potent
I have 2004 silver/ black good fast car
Nice review! Congratulations from Brazil!
Hi Kyle,
Thanks for the comprehensive insight of this underrated gem. Keep up the great work.
We need more content.
Thanks
The ABC is the only issues with this car once it fix you are golden.

Fuck the ABC I deleted it

Keep making videos! You have a future in this.
I bought one, the same exact car, same little quirks, only difference is the mileage.
volume is to low for and old man.
0-60 is 4.5 seconds
There’s a difference in motors. Someone disassembled both and said S55 has different camshafts and tune. Maybe throttle body too. Same with SL55
Milos Savic good info thanks
@@KylePantano no prob at all enjoyed the vid
Correct
2.40 me too not til I bought it that I really appreciated its styling and looks
I still want one of these cars
Thank you so much for review
Im stepping down from my 01 S55 to W210 E55 due to it being alot simpler with the same powerplant under the hood
What do you think of converting the hydraulic suspension to regular coil springs??
yannick first it’s alot of work but definitely worth it
Kyle Pantano thanks a lot man
Are you stupid?
I replaced mine in my s55 and it’s great
shawnnyc2009 which coilovers did you get?
Any updates?
Do you still own this car? How do you like it a couple of years later? I might buy one this week.
I have a 2005 S500 with AMG package. It is amazing. It's such a luxurious smooth ride. I have 20 inch AMG wheels which looks fantastic. The seats are so soft and the cooled seats is great. I will not get a car without cooled seats again
When done in black on black and washed this car looks new still. Black on black with the purple/black tint looks amazing.
The only big problem with these 2000s model is that you can't find anymore parts to them anymore 😕
Not true sir. I have a piece of property that holds more than 250 S class Mercedes alone.
yes there are diesel versions i forget about american availability
Just bought it but it kinda worries me with its air suspension (driver front wheel air.sspn) goes too low but comes up in a cool way.....
Kaddu Edward which model did you get? Some have air suspension and some have hydraulic suspension
@@KylePantano ##S55 V8 KOMPRESSOR 2002## Air suspensioned.
The air suspension is far more reliable than the hydro
@@eddyeddy9136 there is no such thing as an S55 AMG with Airmatic air suspension. It is the Active Body Control hydraulic suspension
Damn I thought the air suspension was bad lol
What's your insurance like? Looking to buy one of these later this year, I'm 16
Devin Haywood where do you live ?
@@kinganthonygee330 Phoenix, Arizona
@@devinhaywood9332 are you an entrepreneur? The S55 Amg loves wealthy owners.
@@kinganthonygee330 yes currently why lol
Devin Haywood I was just asking because if your age that’s amazing, I’m also an entrepreneur. What line of business? E-commerce
U gotta tell me how u keep it so clean, I need some tips
Difference between men and boys. Boys buy mustangs n hinda civics.
Men buy amgs and m series
suhail ahmed except I have a civic too! Ha!
@@KylePantano own a benz or bmw for a month n drive it as daily. Ul come to know the difference
Or men drives Lincolns, Cadillacs or Jaguar as well
I have both lol e55, M3, and M5
Use to own a 03 s55 loved it but not the body style
YvngGold what do you think of the 2012 body style s65? I like the shadow lines on those better than the 2014 up to current
I want one so bad
Is your car a 06?
E320 diesel cars are in the USA
593hp good god. if only!
A diesel wouldn’t have made anywhere near the amount of power that the 5.4 makes. Even if they put a power stroke in that mf. A diesel would make sense for a more economy oriented merc.
Do the midnight man challenge!!!
çok seviyorum mercedes benz s55 çokseviyorum bu araba biz de
You're more hotter than S class ❤
You are in the wrong age bracket to own such a car.
He is not in the wrong age bracket. The boy has taste!
@@suhailahmed4449 It's not about taste, it's about the image the car projects.
@@notarealhandle123 so if a young guy buys audi s8 then i guess he is also in the wrong age bracket?
You sound dumb as fuck bro
I think not homie m.ua-cam.com/video/BmXhgrK4wF0/v-deo.html
I don't think I caught a single sentence about your car. Some very common infor about the S55 AMG, but not about your car
