@@MrSamPhoenix”We” typically don’t do any research, and rather rely on hearsay from people who don’t know what they are talking about, which is truly “our” undoing. I bought my wife a 2021 BMW X7, and it’s very reliable. I have a 2020 BMW M760i V12, and that car is bulletproof with 700 horsepower. I have more maintenance issues with the $70 million dollar private jets I maintain, than I do with my cars.
@justiceexodus7801 your cars aren't old enough to really have any problems and probably still under warranty. All European car companies make junk, especially BMW. They're only good for leasing. Prior to the year 2000, Mercedes really was world class. But when they started making components that time out and not wear out, i realized the bean counters put the engineers on the back burner and quality went way down. But hey it's your money, buy what you want.
@@Turshin What do you have to say about Lexus’s turbocharged engine reliability issues? Man components fail, and that’s just a fact of life regardless of the manufacturer. I actually purchase the shop manuals for all my vehicles because I’m not some unintelligent goofball, who doesn’t know what a OBD port is. The BMW B58 in my wife’s X7 engine is very reliable, to the point that Toyota uses it in their Supra, and yes it is under warranty, with one shop visit for a fuel vent valve pressure switch. My N74 V12 engine is highly reliable, with twin turbos that sit outside the V, which doesn’t have the heat related component failures seen in hot V configurations., The transmission used in both vehicles are highly reliable when properly maintained, and operated.. Ultimately it’s about how you operate, and maintain your vehicle that’s going to dictate the reliability you experience. I also have a Ford Explorer Sport at my home overseas, and that car operates in a rough environment, and now has over 100k miles since I bought it new in 2017, and it has never been in a shop for any reason other than routine maintenance every 10,000 kilometers. A lot of people don’t know how to take care of vehicles, and it shows. Have you owned to make a claim as to their reliability?

I almost made the same mistake you made. I wanted a range rover or Audi. Thank god my husband. Who is a a trained mechanic, but only does it as a hobby. He schooled me. I ended up getting a Lexus. I’m so happy with it.
Don’t do an GLE AMG. Do the GLC coupe but without the extra letters because it means more in maintenance money. I’ve owed an AMG roadster coupe and it was expensive. I love owning Mercedes but I always purchase the Mercedes I know I can afford. Love your videos !!!!!

I just watched your Range Rover video and I see you haven't learn a valuable lesson yet. German Luxury (BMW, Audi, Mercedes) depreciate very rapidly and are highly unreliable. If you want a luxury vehicle team Lexus holds it's value and is the most reliable vehicle out there
@@rostarr713 I didn’t say she could? I don’t know her finances, maybe she’s in a better position than she was when she had the Range Rover. I was just saying, if she can afford it, I don’t see the issue.
You’re absolutely correct about Lexus cars the will last forever with good maintenance. Driving with new Toyota cars right now my wife and I but our next move will be Lexus.
Unless you are doing it under a business. Never buy a car brand new. The depreciation hits like a rock. Find a car that looks just the same. That's about 3 years older.
I see it’s been a few months since this test drive. You should check out the new Mazda CX-70, it’s way more luxurious than your CX-5 and a fraction of the price of the Mercedes!
This not the same girl who said she was happy to spend $80 dollars for services vs the rr when she got the mazda?? She's now looking at a Benz? The elevator doesn't hit the top floor, I see.
Mercedes interiors have always looked weird to me. The for all the hype, they should have made the dash panels more flush and fluid. The little lines do not flow seamlessly. The navigation looks like someone just stuck a tablet on it. You see the same setup on the Gord Explorer. Such a shame for a car that looks nice on the outside.
Looking forward to seeing your new whip....I love Mercedes Benz.. I had the pleasure of riding in a few. I definitely felt rich💲💲💲.
dont let the looks fool you again. if u not buying new, those German cars are no better than the last lemon u purchased
Best comment on here. We typically go for looks than quality which is our undoing.

Thank you! You too!🙌🏽🫶🏽
She literally got a repo on her r age river she ain’t buying no Mercedes lmao
Benz maintenance is a beast.
The video I was waiting for.
😊
Maintenance on the Mercedes is just as bad as the Range Rover 😂
The maintenance is as HIGH as Range over, but Mercedes reliability is way above Range Rovers.
@rowens8056 I wouldn't say way better, but it is better than Range Rover.
@@rowens8056 right

It’s a Toyota and they make the best reliable vehicles
Can you do a follow up video about what happened with the range rover. I know it was parked and wouldn't start. But what happened after that? Thanks
How much money do you make annually?
$180,000

What’s the oldest to buy 1/2 yrs
A 2020 GLA is selling for just 19k with 40,000 miles. These cars are a joke.
What did you like more about GLE than the GLC?
The GLE’s larger body style for sure!!
I see it’s been a few months since this test drive. You should check out the new Mazda CX-70, it’s way more luxurious than your CX-5 and a fraction of the price of the Mercedes!
My wife has a 2023 C63S Amg... she loves it and it has been good to her. But im also a Mercedes certified Amg expert as well hwre in the Ga Area.
Do a test drive of the 2024 BMWX6 and BMWX4
Hope you were able to resell your range rover sport.
i do like the amg 53 but i want a Audi Q8
The Audi RSQ8 is in my top five.
This one not a diesel too is it lol? I like the car though
lol no it’s not. I’m still trying to decide on what I should get
This not the same girl who said she was happy to spend $80 dollars for services vs the rr when she got the mazda?? She's now looking at a Benz? The elevator doesn't hit the top floor, I see.
😂chill beautiful, I’m buying new this time around. I can afford the maintenance love.
I enjoyed the video. If it where my money the GLE 53 would be at the top of the list (pre-owned) followed by the Gv70, and Grand Cherokee last.
Im here from the range rover 😂 you shouldnt be in another lux vehicle 😂
Any woman that doesn’t make her bed and starts recording is exactly what guys need to run away from.
Bad Decision going with Mercedes AMG you better of @ BMW and get any with a B58 engine.
Both are junk.
@@TurshinThe BMW B58 engine is so reliable that Toyota uses it in their new Supra. Go learn something.
@justiceexodus7801 thay was only after Toyota went through the motor and improved all of BMWs shortcomings. Don't be such a fan boy buddy.
@@Turshin Now, you’re just talking out of your ass. What do you drive?
@@Turshin I rather have the B58 but I’m very happy with my 1.5 liter inline 4 Datsun engine. lol

You are so right.
The Range Rover is what you can call a beautiful turd that won’t flush
Benz only look good in three colors that’s black, white and burgundy
