I had an issue with the gearbox, electronic differential failure! I had a good warranty thankfully and Mercedes AMG Sheffield did a solid job on the repair. The car was 10 times better once that was fixed, a really solid motor. I had the GTS premium in white with black wheels, stunning!
I've been thinking of selling my GTR R35 (like yours) & buying an AMG GTS but i just can't decide. My mind changes almost daily. I love my GTR, l also love the sound & looks of the AMG GTS.
This is a hard one… both great cars but quite different I felt too. The AMG GT is much more of a luxury cruiser. GTR more a dedicated driving car. Let us know what you choose to do! 😁
I just grabbed a GTS and I couldn't even compare the 2. Totally different animals. But IMO, the GTS is heads and shoulders above a GTR. The GTR just doesn't turn as many heads
I’ve video. Been looking at 911’s and now one of these bad boys!? Stunning car! Just need to get a good test drive to see what it like as an everyday car.
Good video, bought one of these as my obtainable dream car after owning many AMGs old and new but have to say I just couldn’t gel with it. Felt way too artificial and not well calibrated for British roads, and little feeling through the steering making it hard to judge the limits on track. Incredibly quick and a simple map took power to around 620 HP. You did however miss that there were issues on some cars with the rear wing sticking and not fully retracting - have a Google, it did happen on mine and was a pricey main dealer fix!
Thanks for commenting Roshan! Great to hear your thoughts. How did you find traction once mapped? Still manageable or a bit of a handful. Additionally, thanks for mentioning the wing! Often on our videos the comments are a hotbed of added tips and this is a perfect example.
@@ScottishCarClan you’ve probably found out for yourself now as only just saw the comment. Traction once moving was fine. AMG put a lot of effort into how these grip, so much so you can’t do burnouts like the C, E and CLS AMGs because of the diff and powertrain. But on a cold off camber b road expect to be embarrassed by something like an ST150 - these were engineered on perfectly smooth German and American roads!
Tossing up between a 2016 AMG GT/S or a 2013 Porsche 991.1 Carreras S. I am told the AMG is no good for long distance drives. Suspension way to unforgiving. I am likely to use the car for long drives. Any thoughts between the two with respect to comfort over long distances?
As a Bmw fan and owner, I must say this Benz is absolutely one of, if not the best looking car in the world. Seriously.
I prefer Mercedes AMG GT than Porsche 911. I have AMG GT R 21my, and it's wonderful car ever.
Good video.

@@rich8381 Congrats ! What colour did you get? Did you sell your GTR ?
@@andrewsots no.. I never had a GTR. I got sky Blue with black and grey inserts
@@rich8381 What a great colour. I just had a look online, baby blue AMG GT 2017, didn't know that colour existed till now, awesome.
Thank you, I can afford this car but not afford the possible issues with it especially because I would be buying used.
So u can't afford it. All used cars have issues. And fixing an amg gt is much cheaper then the competitors.
@@TrustMeIKnowEverything i'd rather not spend those thousands of dollars. And not all used cars have as many problems as Mercedes do
@rc350yyc4 amg gt have less catastrophic errors then Toyota corolla so they are therefore super reliable. So stupid point your making
Why aren't these more popular? Running costs?
Some of the second hand values seem great for the amount of car you get.
Don’t these cars have transmission issues?

Lovely cars these and one I’m yet to own, but it’s on my list….

No they don’t. That’s nowhere near stock levels.
Thanks for the video! Which side skirts and front lip do you have on the car?
Love these buyers guides 💖
Thanks for watching!
Look at that go faster stripe, so lovely.
In car audio recording needs sorting, over sensitive mic
Older video now. Camera and audio have improved a lot since! Check out some recent videos.
Thought it was the GT, GTS and then GTC and the GTS was 503BHP and GTC was 522 BHP.
Thank you 👍🏻 this is really quality content very helpful
Thank you for watching 🙏
This is a fantastic review and a beautiful example of a AMG GTS! thank you for doing!
the engine is bullet proof....but what about the turbos
I want the 2017 model. And would like to know the answers to issue
Hey mate. Where did you get your grill from?
english subtitles?
The name of the song at the beginning of the vid.
Hi what size is your rear tires? Thanks
Most are 20”
@@shidevil01 yeah 20’s tire size tho
What year is this car
Love ❤️
Sounds like a norwegian dialect, to be honest. I'm not against it.
The english is so mangled lol
What about the GT-C and GT-R?
Make sure the turbocharger intercooler fluid is at the same level after the test drive as it was at the beginning.

Brilliant video as always mate, what a beauty of a car.
GTC for me…
The noise was glorious in the cabin, can only imagine with no roof.
Would you have this or An Audi R8 V10 ?
i think the v 10, but ima go gt cuz its u can get a black s body kit
The R8 is so bland compared to this. The interior alone could be from an MX5…
Hi mate, im a brand new subscriber from Kilsyth! Loving the videos mate and as an owner of an E Class Coupe AMG im very impressed 👌

Tesla Owner : oil leaks, fuel leaks, gearboxes, ... WTF is this...
Any other owner: broken charger, limited range, poor build quality?
@Jezza Oh I forgot about the poor people who don't own driveways and home chargers... fair play
@@JustMeTalking hard to have a home charger if you live downtown in a city
Would you prefer the r8 v10 plus or one of these as a daily?
GTC!! All day long!!
