Interior lighting shown was really outstanding!

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

+Aravind Raj Jerome Thanks very much. I really wanted to capture how awesome it looks in all the different colors. It's really wild.

[@bighands69]

Excellent review that gives a glimpse into the quality of an S class.

[@omarcarnegie1394]

Beautiful

[@yogeshgopal4429]

Thank you I have officially purchased an S550 and can say its a pleasure. Just one thing I didn't see on your car was the rear seat package. I f you personally purchase this car I would definitely buy the rear seat package I you are purchasing this car. Great video!

[@dcrump]

Thank you

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Hey Ultimate Channel, The S550 starts at $95,325. Fully loaded you are looking at $154,525. That's with the designo colors outside and inside plus the upgraded wood trim.

Beautiful auto

[@Tommytorque69]

Great review Phil. Luv the natural laid back style your charisma and elegance wonderful.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words.

[@erics9754]

@@PhilsMorningDrive No one is being kind they are just telling you the truth your review style is laid back not overhyped like so many others which is refreshing .I liked that you touched on so many aspects of the car and not just rattled off specs . Also the night drive was excellent and full of useful information that not many do. You really captured the feeling of driving one. I have a older 2007 that is loaded and even the old one gives you a relaxed feeling and reduces stress just by driving it. Do not change keep the same style and presentation it works and gives people a thoughtfull insight and real world prospective on this car.

[@bigbudha168]

great video! that car, is my wish.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

bigbudha168 Thanks! It is pretty neat.

[@Kandacer]

I enjoyed your video.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Thanks Ricardo!

[@243wayne1]

Phil- I really enjoyed your review of this automobile! Well done sir. Subscribed!

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Thank you very much!

[@StreakingTiger]

Thanks for the good review. I'm curious about the heated steering wheel. I thought the button to the left of the driver with the steering wheel on it controlled that, but that is for Steering Assist. So, how does one turn on the heated steering wheel?

[@StreakingTiger]

Sorry - downloaded the manual and found it. Located at end of steering column up/down adjustment lever left of steering wheel. Dang - it only lights up when the switch is on, so hard to know. Cadillac CTS has it right on the steering wheel controls. My old 2002 Nissan Maxima GLE just had a simple button that was easy to locate. Geez - these Germans and their ideas.

[@CKDC8]

phil, just curious what town is this where you are driving? So much traffic where i live, cant do a manual sports car

[@TheZombaslaya]

Very stylish. Can't wait for the 2007s to come down in price.

[@Wishwader]

Nice review style. Thanks. A review of the coupe version would be good.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Wishwader Thanks for the kind words. I'll look into that.

[@congajc]

Excellent review, Phil! Looking forward to more Mercedes Benz reviews. How about reviewing the CLS?

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Black Jack Shellack Thanks. I'll see what we can do about that.

[@boozer74]

yes led headlights are the new thing now. they even come standard on the Toyota corolla, which is cool. But laser headlights are the new thing now like on the BMW I8. but the Audi matrix ones are so cool as to what they do. look at the video demo on youtube. SO AWESOME

[@sjs315]

Hi phil.. Nice review.. Would you recommend this car for heavy duty and daily commute

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

sjs315 Yes I would. It's very capable and extremely comfortable.

[@JTDIYM]

keep it up!

[@nybergelmerlofgren8014]

I have bought same Mercedes S550 AMG with 5700 KM from Autozentrum Roth gmbh imported from Florida and I'm from Stockholm Sweden. I have received the car after 16 days and now I need to know how to activate the international warranty for Europe because it's US version like yours. Thank you for your video!

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

+Nyberg Elmer Löfgren That is a really good question. Can you contact Mercedes-Benz of Sweden or perhaps the worldwide headquarters? Glad you liked my video. Enjoy your new car.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Hey Dboy0113. There are several major differences between the S550 and S600. The main difference is the engine. The S600 has a 6 liter bi-turbo V12 that puts out 523 horsepower and a massive 612 lb-ft of torque. The 0-60 on an S600 is 4.5 seconds. The other main difference besides the engine and power is the fact that it comes pretty much with every option. Except for colors and a few customization things. Basically you could consider the S600 to be the fully loaded or top of the line model. That is, excluding the AMG versions. The S550 has a 4.7 liter bi-turbo V8 that puts out 449 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 in an S550 is 4.8 seconds. The S600 has a starting price of $166,900. My honest opinion is an S600 is for someone who still wants maximum luxury and plenty of power. However, if power is really your goal the AMG's are worth a look. There is the S63 which is the V8 version and does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds or the S65 which is the V12 version and it does it in 4.2 seconds. The main thing with the S65 is it has 621 horsepower and a borderline insane 738 lb-ft of torque.

[@ilketama5982]

you drive the s600 ? is it really different than the s550

[@remybuitenhuis2433]

did you even see the brabus? 1150 nm torck thats massive

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

ilke tama I haven't driven the S600 yet. I would imagine the main difference is more power.

[@Goodnewsgoodnews1]

what do u like better bmw or mercedes?

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

***** To be honest I like them both. For overall luxury and technology Mercedes gets my vote. When it comes to a driving experience I would choose BMW because I tend to swing more towards sporty driving versus out and out luxury. However, an AMG Mercedes can solve both of those problems.

[@TexasEmperor]

I just acquired this model year for 65k @ 18K miles...depreciation kill these cars.

[@raspy1135]

@Majxstic 1 exactly the cheaper the easier for us car lovers to be able to buy more cars

[@eddyjawed]

really good review but i wish you tested the top spec model. Really interested in any self driving features of these new cars such as intelligent cruise control.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

eddyjawed I would love to do a segment just on those types of features. Thanks for the feedback.

[@zorandimeski179]

nice review

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Thanks!

[@JamesTowle]

Nice Job...so did you compare to the 2016? Much difference? ....and how bout that Audi. I am about to decide on which with your help....

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

+James Towle Thanks for the kind words. I have not driven the 2016 version but since they did a total re-do for 2015 the only changes will be minor. Maybe a new color or a new option of two but nothing major. As far as the Audi I prefer the Mercedes especially if you are looking for all out luxury. BMW's new 7-Series has really come to the party to match the S-Class with technology. The Audi is a great car and perhaps a touch sporty than the S-Class. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

[@tonykingsley7137]

Great review,and with humor. Should be interesting to see how some this technology trickles down to the lowly peasants.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Haha, thanks Tony for the kinds words. Yes it will be interesting.

[@californianights]

Its like driving in a planes cockpit.

[@waynerhea6649]

And now you can get one for around 40k with relatively low miles. That is amazing

[@marajahmed7858]

i know right 1 year later...

[@marilynhelms9058]

I just got a 2007 S550 for my birthday, I love it so far . I took the vehicle into the dealership to find out it is missing the blue tooth adapter. Can anyone tell me where I can get one under $600.00?

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Hey Marilyn. I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but I found this one on mbdoctor. I'll keep looking around. www.mbdoctor.com/store-front-category/oem-mercedes-benz-bluetooth-module-cradle-adapter-b67875878-m-gl-e-s-350-550-63.html

[@bizcraft]

EXCELLENT REVIEW! Is there a KZbin function I can give Thumbs up more than just one for this ?

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

JB Choi I will ask them about that. Thank you very much for the kind words.

[@ChristianoNumberOne]

Can you please review the CLS 550 OR CLS 63 AMG?

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

I would love too and I have them on my list. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@acamiln8354]

Start watching from 9:04. On 9:13 you will see dark and light road, you can hear bump inside the car. That line(between light and dark road) is not big bump, but you can hear pretty load bump.I tested this one, really bad noise for small bump.

[@acamiln8354]

Aca Miln The same you can hear from 1:05.

[@brianmadison4840]

THIS IS MY CAR I AM GETTING REAL SOON THANK YOU JESUS FOR THE MIRACLE

[@nakaylasymone8701]

the price starts at 113,000

[@neongreen8966]

How much is this car fully loaded with all rear seat packages like the rear seat package executive rear seat package etc etc?

[@tomassviridovas7504]

ᏁᎬᎾᏁᎶᏒᎬᎬᏁ fully fully loaded s550 is 155,000 us dollars!

[@neongreen8966]

Tomas Sviridovas thanks man! And wow that's a lot of money 💰

[@DashingintheD]

Freddy cougar shirt on huh huh.. good review though.

[@navraja3167]

how would you compare this car with a Rolls Royce Phantom. because, i am looking to buy the phantom soon but not sure if i should buy this or the phantom.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

That's a tough call Nav. Both are very luxurious and both offer V12's. Naturally a lot of what you are buying with the Phantom is the prestige of owning a Rolls-Royce which has long been considered the top luxury car in the world. I can agree with that. The Phantom's interior is even more luxurious than the Mercedes. They use only the finest materials in the world for a Rolls-Royce. The other thing to consider is the price difference in some cases a new S-Class is half the price of a new Phantom. The Mercedes also has some of the most advanced safety, comfort, and entertainment technology. So technically speaking the Mercedes outshines the Rolls when it comes to gadgetry. The bottom line: If you want the most luxurious car in the world get the Rolls-Royce. If you want the best Mercedes and one of the most technologically advanced cars in the world pick the S-Class. You really can't go wrong with either car.

[@navraja3167]

Phil's Morning Drive thanks on your opinion. can you elaborate on the entertainment system that the phantom offers compared to the mercedes S class. i went online and no source could really give me the information i required. hoping you can. thank you.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Nav Raja from what I know about it the Rolls caters more to the rear passengers. For example if you choose something called the theater option it will give you two rear screens that I believe are about 12 inches. You will also have the ability to play different sources through each and each rear passengers has their own headphones. The Mercedes offers rear seat entertainment that I would say is in the same category. As for the sounds system the S-Class features one of the best Burmeister systems in the world. It features 24 speakers, 3D sound and over 1500 watts of power. The trunk mounted subwoofer has its own dedicated 400 watt amp. Now I am not sure what brand or how many watts the Rolls-Royce features but I do know that it has the usual options, iPod, aux input, etc. Back to the Mercedes the Burmeister system is standard on S600 and a $6400 option on S550. I hope this helps.

[@navraja3167]

Phil's Morning Drive okay, thanks for your feedback

[@hrcanda]

Too bad they didn't include the option for analogue gauges. The digital ones are way too bright at night.

[@pitthepig]

I understand that since you're american you put the emphasis on the american market, but in youtube your videos can be seen worldwide, so it would be great to offer some extra details for the rest of the countries if there are some differences, like with the available engines.

[@teeduke2918]

the thing is i love the s-classes but i just don't think the AMG's offer that much more then the s600. you take a fully loaded s65 AMG with all the option in the car and you talking about $240 grand. you take a fully loaded s600 and you are talking about $180 grand. the s600 ( to me ) has a better interior design with their "Designo aniline leather". it's freaking awesome! they both use a v-12 engine although the s65 AMG have more horse power. i just like the s600 better and would rather purchase the s600 and save about 40-50 grand in my pocket.

[@DBoy0113]

Hi Phillip I have a question what is the difference with the s600 compared with the s550 is it a power difference and a top speed difference? And also the 0-60 do they range different in that aspect

[@darkmoonabdul2623]

hey man u forgot about the v6 this is not the slowest Mercedes sclass

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

Hey Darkmoon abdul. The S550 is the slowest version available in the U.S. But yes you are correct when it comes to worldwide. Thanks for watching.

[@SoCal-AMG]

wasnt really smart to film the headlights from the back seat with the rear view mirror in the way

[@PINGPONGROCKSBRAH]

lol you've got the same intro music as Jenna Marbles

[@joshitheyoshi2533]

His phrase is "relaxation is key" because he can't sum it up in just one word....how about just "relaxation" lol?

[@acamiln8354]

Joshi The Yoshi A grand per word. That was roblem to use "relaxarion" only.:)

[@bighands69]

Joshi The Yoshi Relaxation is key does not just mean it is a relaxing driving. It means the whole car is designed from top to bottom meaning it is key to the car. Not just that it is a relaxing car. I would say quality is key in this car.

[@justjacqueline2004]

Why do my bosses S-class spend so much time in the dealership repair shop?

[@MrSuperjam10]

Very nice car but I heat the fact that the steering in not centered on the driver seat

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

That's an interesting point. Was it really noticeable for you? It didn't really bother me but I know some little things like that can definitely be a deal breaker.

[@jeffpuha8187]

Phil's Morning Drive What? The steering wheel isn't centered on the driver's seat? I've never heard of such a thing. Would you please explain that? Thanks.

[@SaturdayCarFever]

Jeff Puha Offset with the steering wheel is pretty standard issue with Mercedes cars. I have a minor offset in mine, noticeable though.

[@PINGPONGROCKSBRAH]

Man, I really like the Tesla Model S but even I have to admit that when it comes to interior luxury, the S class beats a Tesla hands down.

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

I hope to drive a Tesla soon. But yes I agree the S-Class is the more luxurious of the two, no contest.

[@bighands69]

Phil's Morning Drive Driving on an electric "Engine" is hard to surpass in terms of Torque and smoothness. Obviously the cabin build in an S class is special compared to a Tesla model S.

[@stubones]

I'd say the new BMW 7 series easily matches this for refinement and maybe "out techs" it. I think, now, it come down to just personal preference. Merc or BMW, not "Has one or the other got the features I need".

[@PhilsMorningDrive]

+stubones I totally agree. Thanks for watching!

[@jordanh9157]

my dad bought me one

[@derbigpr500]

113k and you complain about the price....heh....americans sure are cheap when it comes to cars and don't realize how expensive cars are in the rest of the world. For this money, you can't get a base S class in Europe with a 6 cyl engine. Hell you can't get an E class with a decent engine (not a V8 definitely) and mid-level equipment.

[@SaturdayCarFever]

Painful reality my friend.

[@richieasian]

We also complain about gas even though Europeans and Asians are paying 2 times more than us... My uncle is a doctor in japan and he has a B class mercedes and a Prius My dad is a doctor here in the states and we have a BMW 535i, 640i gran coupe, and a 335i sedan... I'm pretty sure doctors don't get less money in japan. It's just that registration, gas, and other fees are so expensive for nice cars in other parts of the world. My uncle even had a VW touareg for a couple months until he realized that he couldn't park it anywhere and the registration fees were killing him

[@shzlq1212]

this car is half a million in CHINA

[@bighands69]

Qi Li China will be bringing its own Luxury cars to the market over the next 10 years and they will rival German cars and will be cheaper as well.

[@Underhills]

$113.000?! Wow, cars are cheap in the US. Would set me back at least $312.000 here.

[@bighands69]

ventende Are you in Australia by any chance or New Zealand. Japanese cars are cheap in Australia. A lexus GS 450H which is a magnificent car can be had for about $100K. They are easily on par with the S class in terms of quality and reliability. Lexus like their brother (Toyota) never break down and they are pure smooth to drive.

[@Underhills]

Northen Europe

[@Underhills]

We don't use US dollars or Euro in Denmark. I was translating the currency into dollars. It does cost at least $312.000 here. The 500-series is all available. In addition theres' the AMG models. Actually I had it checked out and the S600 is prized at $324.000 US dollars at my local MB dealership August 2015. They didn't have the current list prize for the S500 but you can pretty much deduct some average there.

[@TATTDIS]

Couldn't you dress more appropriately for such a Highly finessed status symbol?
