[@carycoller3140]

I've owned all 3. Neither I should better. They each have their own special kind of goodness in their own way.

[@chonasimpson6487]

BMW does not belong in the same sentence.Mercedes is the superior car without a doubt in my opinion.

So, I have been watching your videos now since late summer. You do an excellent job explaining everything pertaining to the car whether it is the competition, or issues surrounding that particular car. I feel very informed about the car after you finish explaining all the details and functions of the car. Your graphics are seriously on point: I love them, and no one else uses graphics like you do. You could easily become a very good automotive journalist. Having said all of that I do have one critique, and I hope that you take this critique in the spirit that it is given, despite not asking for my critique in the first place I don't know if it's you in the video with the baseball cap, or someone else, but you would do well to upgrade your image. Not a "make over", but get your hair styled, and ditch the cap, and a nice pair of pants and a shirt tucked in would go a long way. With almost 14,000 followers, you have no idea who is paying attention to you. You do excellent work reviewing high-end cars, and your appearance should look like you are a professional, not undergrad after a night partying. I know it's a different world out there for you young people, but you should know that quite a few older people watch you too. I am 52, and a friend pointed me to you videos because your reviews are so good. You could easily be reviewing cars at the 5-star auto shows like Geneva and New York. You never see any of those reviewers wearing saggy jeans rumpled shirts and baseball caps.I hope you give it some consideration. Your work is that good. Just an opinion. Do with it what you will. Keep up the great work.

[@carbuzzcom]

Well first off, thank you for both the compliments and critique. I work insanely hard to learn and experience everything I can about the cars I review. That said, the scruffy looking guy with the baseball hat and the other guy in jeans and t-shirt (no hat) are the video guys in the field. Because of the sheer amount of reviews that need to get researched, filmed, edited and published, extra help is needed to make everything come together on schedule. But I'll pass on your suggestions to them about improving their attire. Still, my main focus here are the vehicles themselves and the information I provide. As long as all of that is A-OK (while still consistently improving) then I'm happy. Content/video/graphics, above all, are the most important elements. Anyway, thanks again for watching and subscribing to our channel. There are lots of cool and interesting cars to come so stay tuned!

[@fouzankareem5790]

wow this is so wonderful

[@Lion-dr7uv]

I thought Lincoln was "what a luxury car should be" haha

[@aryanahmed3301]

Please do a higher trim S-Class ! This is disappointing for a S-Class. This video didn't exploit the full potential of the car. I mean not even rear entertainment system ? :(

[@Trustiieee]

f266101463 neither will you

[@aryanahmed3301]

True mate. I hope I can buy one day though. I really do like the car a lot. Cheers ! :D

[@aryanahmed3301]

Umm, I don't really know mate, but actually I am an atheist. But yeah sure, I will pray to Allah, Jesus, Ram and all others to give you a more open and receptive mind, and also for the Maybach version :) Cheers mate ;D

[@davidhamilton506]

Aryan Ahmed Sorry pal, having a bad day. peace be upon you...

[@aryanahmed3301]

it's alright bro, happens to everyone. Peace be upon you too :)

[@ZestyLemonBoi]

Brilliant!

[@thewholeeventhorizon]

That exhaust sounds very pedestrian. I wouldn't have pointed it out and pretended it was awesome.

[@damirzanne]

and your 1997 Honda with straight pipes sounds better ? 😂😂😂

[@alokesingh6243]

does the base model have the ambient led lighting

[@Cazanu417]

yes its standard on all s classes w222

[@samsonokoro5036]

This is a Base model and it's this pricey? the Bmw, Lexus and audi Base models are at least 10k less. Very Nice but I don't think the materials in this car are that top notch especially the wood trim and coated aluminium plastic buttons. The wood finish seems like coated glossy wood vinear instead of real wood like u'll find in a Rolls Royce or Bentley or even the bamboo finish in the lexus Ls 600h. These cars look like they have more expensive materials than What's in this s class. Though we shouldn't compare a Rolls Royce to an s class really cause there's a massive price difference and the materials show that.

[@carbuzzcom]

Yeah, we also find it kind of hard to justify this car's base price tag.

[@teeduke2918]

CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars you think the new 7 series has the s class beat? Are you kidding me?

[@MusicLuv80]

Would all wheel drive in this car make the ride quality better?

[@MusicLuv80]

When you buy something this expensive do you buy one in the lot at the dealership or do they take couple of month to build them before you can have it?

[@seachickens4u]

This isn’t the base it has options

[@dstrong11]

That's not a base model. That car has over $10k worth of options. I know because I own one just like it and it stickered for $110k...

[@Caramel777A]

Hey! I'm purchasing a 2015 S550 tomorrow, def getting a warranty thru Endurance. Have you any problems with yours?

[@chrisb5443]

Hi, is this the porcelain or grey interior?

[@shellcasing1040]

I can't believe the Lexus GS F costs as much as an A8 and a 7 series.

[@Cz007_]

But the GS-F will be far more reliable in the long-term. German cars can't say that. Those German cars are usually leased or, if owned, prob be up for sale when the car hits 60k-70k miles before the owners knw it'll cost a kidney or liver to repair/replace/maintain.

[@samsonokoro5036]

Shell Casing The GS F is a performance car like the Amg cars for Mercedes that's why they are pricey. The Amg or M series r more expensive than the F sport series of the Lexus.

[@TM-fx2ph]

Well tbh the W221(06-09) S class has much wider rear legroom... it can fit a person on the seat and another siting on the floor with no problem whatsoever...

[@carbuzzcom]

Why would anyone want to sit on the floor?

[@TM-fx2ph]

CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars that was just because we had 6 people... our family thought my Uncle drove his Q7 but instead he drove the W221... and it was so late that transports take forever to arrive... so... that's what turned out... and it felt nothing at all...

[@carbuzzcom]

Yeah, totally legal.

[@TM-fx2ph]

CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars of course😂😂 but cuz my uncle had that netting thingy option cops ain't ever seeing that 😂😂

[@immortanjoe7192]

oh god in indonesia the price will be $500,000 :'(

[@carbuzzcom]

Let me guess, insane government taxes? Man, that sucks.

[@Chris15232]

can’t even get to Script straight

[@bballbrc]

meh, all benzes look the same. no point in paying high prices

[@teeduke2918]

JET997u exactly. Definitely shits on the 7 series for shore.

[@braddunbar5976]

Use a better camera

[@dkarady]

🏆❤️

[@stevejohnson4105]

S class the best a Lexus is a Toyota Infiniti is a Nissan Acura is a Honda best class look much better than all the luxury cars including the Rolls-Royce in the Bentley sorry

[@mbeck30000]

cloth

[@johnrand93]

First, let's get the misinformation out of the way. No, the S is not the Flagship car, never was, never will be. The CL600 was the Flagship and now the S600 Maybach is actually second to the S65 Coupe and Covertible. Now that we have that incorrect information out of the way. Your taste is subjective at best. The Mercedes S Class line up and most all of the Mercedes after 2013, has become so diluted it is pathetic. Worst of all the S Class in particular in both the 2 and 4 door models are just about the UGLIEST Mercedes to come along since the 60's sedans. Mercedes isn't what it was, I should know I own a 2014 Full Designo CL600 1 of 1 of 22 built from 11-14. It cost when I bought it 187K plus taxes, putting it over 200K. Mercedes from 2000 until 2013 for S Class and 2000-2014 for the CL Class has and will always be the pinnacles of design.(minus the 07-10 CL) I never liked BMW but the new 7 Series has out classed the hideous S Class line-up. This S Class is the UGLIEST car on the road without question. If your going to buy any Mercedes buy a Maybach 600 Designo or move up to a Bentley Flying Spur. Until Mercedes designers get their S**T together, I will not be buying another Benz again. 2017 Bentley GT Speed is my other driver and let me tell you, what it lacks in technology, it makes up for in appearance, design and class. Please before you make a video get your facts straight.

[@carbuzzcom]

OK, look. Maybach is not really a part of the mainstream Mercedes family. It's more of a sub-brand. And speaking of subjective opinions, you're more than entitled to give yours, which you very much did. But I can see you that you're not happy with Mercedes these days. If so, then DON'T BUY ANOTHER MERCEDES. That simple. Or, alternatively, if you can afford one, go for the Maybach.

[@johnrand93]

Buddy I don't have to resort to making my money on KZbin and if I can afford a brand new 265K plus tax (not leased Bentley GT Speed) and a 189K 2014 CL600 Full Designo (not leased) paid cash for both. I can afford a Maybach if I wanted it. It is not a "SUB BRAND", nor was the CL which was the Flagship (now the hideous S Coupe) Those are the flagships. So, if you don't believe me call Corporate MBZ and they will tell you which car is their flagship. 600's ( V-12's) have always been and always be the Flagship of Mercedes Benz. As a car designer myself. Nothing is appealing about this car, NOTHING. Thanks for sharing and one day maybe you can afford to buy a "High End" car and know what your talking about. FYI, sales of the S have not met expectation as the last generation, so that should tell you something.

[@teeduke2918]

John Rand except the s65 AMG Coupe shits all over the Bentley GT, And the new s classes is shitting all over the new 7 series. So who needs to get their facts straight? It might be you instead of him. That's what they do.....they review the base model & compare it to a fully loaded whatever & say they are better. Just like he did. Did you see his review of the 7 series? It was fully loaded.

[@teeduke2918]

John Rand let me ask you this since you know so much about the s classes? Are Mercedes still making the s600 sedan? I don't here anything about it. Oh and let me give you a little history lesson about the s class & 7 series. The 750 G11 series competes with the s550. The 750 G12 series competes with the s600 sedan. The M760i competes with the s65 AMG sedan. The s600 Maybach competes with the RR Phantom, and all the s classes except the s600 Maybach are winning the competition.

[@adamcaylor2355]

One of the ugliest cars on the road? Oh quite the opposite my friend. You have rendered your opinion/statements to be irrelevant and of no taste. P.S. sorry I'm late for the party.
