2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class | First Drive

[@LearnAboutFlow]

Where's John Davis? This guy sounds like he's trying to sell me a funeral plot.

[@nelsonmcnamara]

Dont get me wrong, i love John. But this guy is not bad. very soothing, just what we need for when we buy a funeral plot. yes.

[@waverunner7063]

I love John Davis but this host is good too. Very precise without the sillyness or annoyingness of that bearded guy on MotorTrend.

[@Cliff00936]

I've heard that the glass is just thick enough so you don't hear the peasants outside.

[@6ec6YRFPTcC]

Cliff00936 even when backing over them

[@hyperlogos]

They've got cabin air filters as well, so you don't smell them either

[@kreed1004]

you won't want to hear them complain about losing their children's health insurance, while you just gave your executives a stock buyback

[@blackice7408]

[@Delorean217]

Where is John Davis?

[@darrylle26]

Delorean217 I was thinking the same thing.

[@bingoberra18]

Dont worry, John Davis will never leave, he will surely be back in a real test.

[@Delorean217]

bingoberra18 Yeah I hope he does :--/

[@kclark8080]

John Davis is the host. I've seen him do very few reviews..

[@sfasc78]

That’s what I said!!

[@ned8249]

Love your show. Keep it up!

[@nikolanikola8543]

MERCEDES is super reliable, it's just very expensive to maintain. Idk how some people expect premium car to be cheap to maintain.......

[@Jwdude123]

Without John Davis it ain’t motor week.

[@SamuelDrives]

Well it doesn't have any negatives?

[@waverunner7063]

The S560 and S63 essentially share the same engine. No better time to skip the AMG if you are in the market for this.

[@stchandler82]

Garick Zikan?! I watched you when I was a young kid on WCYB.

[@westernherit]

No headlight washers?

[@FlipMore]

Insha Allah I’m gonna buy one used in couple of years

[@vitovitale9867]

It's not Mercedes fault if expensive luxury sedans drop their value so heavily within a few years of production unless you are buying a limited edition super car or a Ferrari/Lamborghini where you are going to unplug the speedometer so the true mileage never shows (like they do abroad) be prepared to lose a ton of money!

[@mrpmj00]

Cool, I didn't know MB had cylinder deactivation like my 2017 Corvette which also has a V8.

[@TJC450]

In 10 years we will be seeing on youtube titles "I BOUGHT THE CHEAPEST 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class IN THE USA!"

[@zubairmohammed4918]

TJC450 for $8000!!!

[@ItsTimePictures]

LOL Tavarish has already prepped the video.

[@IncredibleMrThrillz]

Reviewer is suave. Kool as the wind

[@larrycalloway1724]

Other than price , What’s mechanically difference between the Mercedes S class 560 compared to Mercedes’s Maybach S 560 ?

[@kclark8080]

Maybach is larger, more standard features, different wheel choices, no low level leathers or materials.

[@larrycalloway1724]

K Clark Thank You 😊

[@kclark8080]

The normal S is still a driveable car for everyday. The Maybach needs a driver. I see no justification for buying one otherwise.

[@larrycalloway1724]

K Clark Thank You I didn’t know that .

[@larrycalloway1724]

K Clark 👍🏽

[@cavy95]

Hi I'm NOT John Davis and this is Motor Week!

[@johnsmith100]

Close to mid April 2022 I test drove a 2019 Mercedes S560 and I’m sorry to say that I felt every bump, crack and any other imperfection on the road. I don’t know what is the hype about its great suspension, and its celebrated smooth ride. It honestly did not feel any different from my existing 2018 Toyota Camry, in terms of the smoothness of the ride on those road imperfections.

[@jusmyamg65]

Love it!

[@UpcominLegend1]

That leg room tho

[@one7decimal2eight]

just wait 3 years and buy this car with 30k miles for 35 grand.

[@jwill6008]

One 7 Decimal 2 Eight Good 'ol Mercedes Benz... 4 year old cars... 60% depreciation!

[@larrycalloway1724]

One 7 Decimal 2 Eight smile

[@kclark8080]

3 year old S are currently going for $60-75K FYI...

[@jwill6008]

K Clark Absolutely... right after a lease a owner/dealer can definitely recoup some value. Anything past 4 and MOST know what they are up against

[@UTVH21]

One 7 Decimal 2 Eight In 3 Years there is a new S Class.. lol

[@williamheinsinger7390]

Most people lease these then turn them in, maintenance after 3 yrs is Very Expensive to own.

[@larrycalloway1724]

William Heinsinger True not for the faint of heart , service is either 500 or 1,000 dollars that’s if nothing is wrong or broken . Service is due car must be taken in for service ! Unlike BMW were you get complementary service for so many miles on the car . Mercedes do not offer that option , You have to pay for it upfront . But still I’m still a fan of Mercedes Benz !

[@zubairmohammed4918]

Larry Calloway im sure you're a fan because ur not an owner :D Same goes for me lol!

[@kclark8080]

Are you referring to maintenance? Or warranty work? Maintenance doesn't change but work that would otherwise be covered by warranty can get expensive but it's more in the 6 year range where you'll start seeing that. There are not alot of issues with these cars, at least nothing consistent.

[@David-kg5dk]

great review!

[@gmchnger5160]

Mercedes Benz ❤️💪🏼

[@TonyTube407]

I will never, ever buy a car that slows down the cruise control in a curve.

[@slizzy418]

Okay , i hope you enjoy going into other cars front bumper 🥺❤️

[@julianafurtado432]

Supreme

[@mercshadow]

The 63 is a 40, wtf AMG?

[@Leo-ok5qi]

I like this guy 👍

[@georgephillips5689]

The best or nothing.

[@steveespinola7652]

Hey what happened to John Davis?? This guy sounds like he's from a Funeral home.

[@Nightbird.]

Don't buy the AMG unless you don't have a problem spending $8k in engine repairs every few years after the warranty is over.

[@1970HondaCL100]

This isn't a review, it's an advertisement.

[@jwill6008]

1970HondaCL100 Absolutely! What kind of first drive has no cons? If this went on for 20 to 30 min, I would have to call it propaganda...

[@kcirreb94]

They never said it was a review

[@ekscalybur]

They also claim to be automotive journalists. Ethics in journalism, it's a thing.

[@thelarry383]

This is an S class. There's nothing wrong with it.

[@jwill6008]

Audiwan Kenobi Wow... your response is silly in its attempt to degrade. What are we/ they supposed to understand? That you can only praise a car in the 'first drive'? Or that in your midlife one clearly has an inability to understand what is supposed to be talked about in a 'first drive'? Feel free to use your typewriter (with a screen included) to inform all the 30 somethings out there!

[@waseemsells5378]

What the heck? Imitation John Davis, this guys sucks. Bring back John Davis.

[@williamkinn5959]

This is an advertisement and a poor one at that.

[@BanBiofuels]

Are self-driving cars really a good idea? Are we too lazy as a species to even drive a car? Remember, humans use to walk everywhere. If you stop exercising you will become deconditioned, fat, and lazy. Your body will turn into useless mush. What about deconditioning the mind? Would not it be easier and cheaper to just replace the passengers with machines? Why do we even need a human race at all? Let the robots take over. Maybe they can get along with each other better than we do.

[@prof.orlandoferguson3288]

Humans are not a species. We live on a flat earth created by Jesus. But i agree that the satanic system is trying to take us over with ai.

[@kaarelv1643]

I think some people need to drive excessively a lot because of their work. So it makes sense for them. Now if you drive like 20k miles a year or less then yeah no point of this laziness

[@jules19671]

So the loss of the most intuitive cruise control switch in the car industry is because Americans couldn’t get their heads round it.

[@josej.6329]

I can't deal with his voice

[@Ogee4life]

Great car without a doubt, but the 2018 Lexus Ls 500 has the same twin turbo V6 making it a direct competitor to the S 450 and it starts at 76-77k. That's 12k cheaper than the S 450 and it's the better car in terms of luxury and performance.

[@frankunderwood8280]

Samson Okoro u cant compare a japanese car with a Mercedes bro

[@allexxo_]

@@frankunderwood8280 yes you can

[@diouvinesbenjamin3102]

lp p.a.

[@darrylle26]

I think everyone should wait to see Audi's line up.

[@44altecz]

always lease the s class never buy the car is so unreliable after 3 years and turns into a money pit

[@bobdingles4893]

[@JerkVegas86]

It looks like a Hyundai

Great car but where is the regular guy at? This guy sucks. 😁

[@6ec6YRFPTcC]

That interior color scheme is fucking ugly. I don't think I would drive it if you gave it to me

Really? SMH

[@waverunner7063]

Oh you'd drive it. Trust me.

[@zarbon700]

Mercedes Benz = Overpriced, Unreliable and High-end depreciation.

[@zubairmohammed4918]

People would still argue saying its not over priced or unreliable, but one established and concrete fact remains as you mentioned that it depreciates like going down on a waterslide

[@kclark8080]

It's a fake argument....Depreciation is based on a percentage. If a car depreciates 50% it will appear to do so at a faster clip, the higher the original MSRP. Check out preowned Bentleys..... True, some cars do depreciate slower percentage-wise, but Mercedes is not by any means the quickest to drop. Take an S and a 7 series, exactly the same price. In three years, which is priced lower on the Preowned market? It aint the Mercedes.

[@shpingus4601]

zarbon700 They aren’t overpriced lol. If Mercedes is overpriced so is BMW, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Audi etc... just because you can’t afford one doesn’t mean it’s overpriced. It is unreliable after about 30k km (20k miles) but what do you expect from a technologically advanced car, again same goes for BMW, Audi, Bentley etc. And once again, every car I’ve mentioned depreciate quickly, you can buy an 2012 328i for 18k CAD and a 2012 Mercedes C-300 for 25k CAD. Mercedes is a mile ahead of BMW and Audi. Especially S-Class, it competes with Bentley’s and Rolls Royce (especially the S-Maybach).

[@kclark8080]

I disagree with your 20K miles statement but the rest of what you said is spot on....The Germans do take technology risks and some don't work out that well. I remember they were using fiber optics for sound systems. That didn't last...LOL

[@shpingus4601]

K Clark Yeah lol

[@freddyarmijos8883]

S class mercs are horribly unreliable. Very expensive Pieces of garbage Have been this way for more than 20 years

[@DOGFACESOLDIER0708]

Freddy Armijos you think Mercedes is bad BMW takes the lead of unreliable piece of garbage for more than 20 years

[@hyperlogos]

Since the W140 "Starship Enterprise"

[@zombie45611]

Freddy Armijos that's why the reliability ratings for the car are good. Stop trying to justify your feelings because you can't afford one

[@kclark8080]

C'mon dude! No they aren't.....LOL (derisive)

[@waverunner7063]

The W140 is the best looking sedan ever made. It will forever be the most distinct sedan in modern cars.
