I think all the problems you listed are normal for all cars like this .
Not really, the suspension on the gts is a lot stiffer than the f8, for example
@@wait4babao984the suspension is stiff for track. This guy is not complaining about the GT he is complaining about things practically every track car has. Low MPG, low clearance etc
It seems like you need to buy a cadillac , everything you saw wrong with this car was done on purpose by one of the best manufacturers on the planet to give you a sports car feel
I hope to own one of these one day. Great video man!
Love it. I very nearly bought a GTS. Fantastic machine. Instead I bought a C7 ZO6. I love it too. Heck, I love a lot of cars.
No matter you say , I love this car and it’s not fir everybody . If you are looking for comfort , don’t buy it . If you are looking for space , don’t buy it . If you are looking for economy and cost savings , don’t buy it ! There are a lot of cheaper , comfortable and spacious car out there if that’s what you are looking for
Couldn’t agree more with you. Especially the scrape sound when you do your bet to avoid steep decline driveways ..
3:30 I couldn’t agree more. I got a C63s myself and it’s amazing. Great sound, fast, gets looks, etc… I would highly recommend one if you can’t afford a E63s/S63s/GT63s/GT
C63S is such a great car
@@Amgenetics Is it really about as good or better than the AMG GT if you don't care about tracking the car and don't like the sound of backfiring?
I want a gts for my next car when I’m done with the cla45 but there’s something about the c63s I love 16-18’ is the raw sound. Imo I think they sound more rawer compared to every other model even comparing catless to catless
Right there with you kinda, c43 owner and I'm between that year c63 or amg gt. My car is still flawless and awd very useful for me in the winter
True
Got a 2016 one. Place so far 500 miles in one week and it’s pretty good. One biggest flaw is it’s low and gets a lot to get use to the cars dimensions. Also the rear suspension makes a squeak over bumps that can be heard into the cabin. Ride quality is horrible, definitely not made for everyday City roads. Other than that, it’s actually the best sports car I’ve ever owned
Are the bucket sets uncomfortable? In addition to the suspension quality?
fairly comfortable seats jus have to do some adjustments@@lightorchestrator
Anthony how are the maintenance costs?
He missed the big one.......parking visibility. Having said that, I love mine and won't be changing it .
Great car! But i think i will keep my V12 bi-turbo SL for now.
Agree on the ride...it is firm (but as expected for a sportscar). The front lip is low...I added a KW Suspension front end lift, problem solved. Interior quarters are tight...more snug than confining (current 992 911's are roomier thanks to the thinner central console.and rear seat spac). These cars will age well. This generation weighs about 400lbs less than the new AMG 4 seater GT line and is markedly more sporty. My GTC is a keeper.
Hey thx for making yourself accessible. I wanted to get your opinion on tuning my 2019 C43. Eurocharge has a great price. If I have issues then I’ll have to get the CPC which is way more expensive. Your thoughts on the Stage 1 or 2 tune?
2019 C43 will need a CPC tune regardless! Stage 1 and stage 2 tunes will need it.
@@Amgenetics you stated your tune cost you around $1400 (I think). That’s just the ECU tune and the CPC tune is an additional 2K. If that’s the case, the tune is almost 3.5K. Also, can the AMG Performance Exhaust handle a Stage2 tune? Where can I purchase an unlocked My Genius Handheld Tuner?
@@Amgenetics Okay got it tuned today. It’s a rainy day in Virginia but was able to get thrown back in my seat a couple of times. I do miss my factory loud pops. Not too found of the smaller continuous pops. I like that professional factory sound vs tuned sound. More to follow. Should I purchase the My Genius handheld?
😂 bro you need a Prius, fits you, hit a like if people agreed
😂 you’re totally right bro, i was just thinking the same! 😂 and he looks like a Prius guy too and vegan 😂😂
I’ve had two Amg gt’s . Great cars. You need a regular E class to be more comfortable.
I'm totally satisfied with my GLC 43 with Red Star 200 cell downpipes, TCU tune, and stage 2 tune. Plenty of storage and power for my needs. The Viper matte green wrap with front splitter and rear spoiler turns heads. But I'd love to have an AMG GTR for a 2nd car some day lol. Can't wait to see you get that Black Series hood!
Debating the hood still! Feel like it might be slightly overkill but we’ll see
Any vids of the sound!?
@Ezaan Babar Eurocharged St. Louis posted the installation on Instagram and revved it a few times
Debating trading my weekend car, a 15’ CLS 63 S with 47,000 miles in for 16’ GTS with 50,000 miles. I live in ny & aside from AWD im wondering if ill regret getting a gts in terms of reliability & ride quality. The cls has been very reliable, just needing regular oil changes.
As long as the car is clean and you stay on top of maintenance, you should be good!
The problem with getting a c63 over this is in 5-10 years time c63 value will tank significantly more than the amg. So that money your saving at first isn't really worth it. Or u can just buy the amg gt used for like 80k lol
thanks !
I have a 2016 and never had a problem I also daily mine and drive it very hard so ig i’m just lucky😅
also as for gas yes it goes quick but I usually keep all my settings in Individual mode on race except for traction. In the city I get 15-17mpg on the highway I get 20/21. I have no clue what it would get in comfort tho
@@robbyrobinson392 not far off some lower liter cars. V6 would be around 30-35 on highway but add turbos itll drink more
Hey let the seat back….. you can slide in im 6”1 and I get in mine just fine
The ride isn’t that stiff dude. You’re being super dramatic or you just drive on terrible streets all the time
The MPG you get 12 stick and 8 tuned. Plus the tank is small so you have to fill up all the time. I’ve had a 911 it got 18MPG. This things eats gas like my Lamborghini. You’re going on a date and you have to fill up beforehand. The. Fill up after.
Rubbish. Got mates in high 20’s mpg and low 30’s.
The kids small and shoved right up against the steering wheel. I’m 6”2 and felt fine in it. My seats back so my arms can move and overall have more room than him.
I think you’re missing the point (s)
“They might win” 😂
😂😂😂
Cylinder sleeve scoring is a huge issue with the 4.0 biturbo. Once it starts, the cylinder and pistons destroy each other. You’d never know it by sound or drive ability. You see it in the oil filter, metal particles.
Suspension issues are also common, at $6,000 a corner it can get frustrating. Like all MB products, they eat brakes as well.
I owned a GT-R for a year on lease. One month in the shop under warranty to replace a fuel related issue, injection lines were developing vapor lock. I’d start and drive and when engine got to temp, if I shut it off it would start in a cripple mode. You’d be lucky to get to 50 mph. I turned it in and instead bought a C8 Z06. $70,000 less and twice the beast.
I’ve never heard of any of these issues you mentioned and I’ve been surrounded by the 4.0 engine for years on end. No suspension, engine, or fuel issues. I’ve had mine for 20,000 miles and don’t have these issues either. As for the brakes (normal steel brakes), I’m about to replace them for the first time, and that’s including heavy track days. They would’ve easily lasted to 30,000 miles without being replaced. Like all brands, some cars will have complications though. I think you just got unlucky with your GTR. C8 is a great car too
Sorry but I didn't see anything in this review that makes me question the owning the car.
Suspension? Lol
Did you ever think it’ll drive like a Prius?
oh you forgot to mention, a reason you should not buy one is also that it has no headroom :(
If you are 11 feet tall 😂 simple solution is to just chop your legs off
I’m 6,4 yes it is a mission to get in and out of the car but it has plenty of headroom,the getting in and out situation is going to happen with almost every supercar
The idea that a kid barely out of his 20's is complaining about his $100K dollar car and one of the greatest examples of automotive engineering in the past 100 years tells you all you need to know about this generation. Zero appreciation for anything.
I think you’re just being judgmental. I clearly stated in the video that I have no problems with this car.
The video is meaningless because daddy obviously bought it for him
@@Amgenetics it’s wonderful car. Nobody disputes this. … the point is to lose everything you have. Material possessions, family home and live out of a hooptie for a while. Then and maybe you might understand where others are coming from who have every right to be “judgemental”.
@@ZoneTelevision hopefully i'll never have to experience that. thanks for your input though
@@ZoneTelevisionare you good?😂
im gonna like this video!
Its a one off race car, so don’t talk about ride comfort. Its also a Mercedes so don’t talk about reliability.
Race car? No son I'm afraid not
If you have only eaten one cheeseburger…..
Nothing about that makes you an expert.
I’ve thrashed.
I mean thrashed. Thrashed.
More porches. Corvettes
Audis. Lexus. And Benz than most can list off. Plus 1000 other cars. Bikes and boats.
There is No one bike.
One bike.
One boat for all days of the week and persons.
Please show me the goat. lol.
They are all purpose built.
If your living on a budget and do not have the means or ability to use that AMG.
Buy a Camry. Sounds like a better fit for you.
When you are able to purchase toys for your lifestyle , the means and ability to use them and realize what they are designed to do a specific thing for a specific person …
Then you will appreciate even a simple cigar by yourself on one of your properties that allows solace and realize. One day in your past that 18 minute cigar was a mortgage for you.
When people talk too much about things they do not yet understand in public.
They are setting themselves up for real embarrassment later in life when they learn.
Buy 1000 cars.
Use them. I mean use them.
Then offer advice.
Don’t be the biker guy with all the advice and never in his life found his limits or the motorcycles limits for what it was designed for. Before considering himself a pro.
9 out of 10 times.
Man will stop short of machines capabilities.
Then there are the nutcases like myself.
Broke all bones on bicycles.
Then motorcycles. Then
Then then.
This chapter is the planes.
lol.
Don’t be that guy.
The one with 3 mouths.
One ear.
Keep trying, I have yet to see even one reason not to buy it
First of all: the roads in Europe is 10 times better than American,, this kid is not experienced enough to know about cars.
these will drastically loose value when mid tier sport coupe EV starts to come out with better 0-60 and still be far more reliable than Mercedes.
This is my second Mercedes and I haven’t had any real issues! I believe the opposite. With the production of the pure V8 slowly stopping, I think the value will eventually increase for these AMGs. Anyway, only time will tell
Seeing as this might be mercedes last v8 it will be the opposite. In fact demand for the new hybrid c63 is so low mercedes might bring back the v8
Specs on your GTS?
It’s a long list 😂 over $25k in options. I’ll save it for a future video
Design a video which will be reliable then 🙄
You almost cancelled out all of your arguments 🤔🤣
Buy BMW M3 G80 CP smokes this car in the dust on track and at speed
From 0-60, yeah the g80 xdrive m3 wins. Roll races? Probably not. GTS wouldn’t need to fight for traction and it’s a few hundred pounds lighter than the M
Rich parents lol
Gee I guess I should ask them for more cars. Thanks for the idea!
Most pretentious review I have ever seen. Basic is there is my expensive car, you guys dont have what it takes to keep it running.
Interesting interpretation
I saw nothing pretentious at all in this video...just plain talk and honesty.
Mercedes is trash get over it🤣🤣🤣
