So at 0:58 the front and rear size are slightly different, so if you get a front flat you move the rear wheel to the front and install the compact spare in the rear?

@@cupcake4798 Hi Cupcake..:) Life lesson...hmm so many things have changed in this world over my past 69 years but there are a few constants that will help make you reach your monetary goals. Put a little money aside each time you get paid, try to resist buying too many "shiny objects" as you progress. My first car was a Datsun510, far cry from the AMG but it fulfilled my needs..:) The magic of compound interest cannot be overstated so work hard and save while you're young so you can relax and live comfortably when you're an old fart like me! Just don't forget to do things that bring joy to your life, don't work just for the sake of earning money! Stay happy, don't hang around the wrong people and you'll get there!

If you have the money and the brains to fix your own cars for the most part, Audi, Mercedes and BMW, etc, these types of cars are the way to go in my opinion. Fun to drive, exotic with all the technology, quality interior etc. Unfortunately the majority of us can only dream lol. They will break down just like any other cars as they over engineered, as long as you take care of them they are fine, but the repairs is what keeps people away.

[@christynorris-pardue9004]

I have the 2019 AMG GLE 63 S coupe. I love enjoy her. She’s wicked sick. I plan to keep her another year get a 2023. I’m always thinking what other car do I want, and when I start going over the specs performance, the quality, the build trust in Mercedes, and the fact that this is my third AMG,GLE. Nothing compares, and there’s not a lot of them out there! She’s tight flat around the curves like you said. Neither one of my mustangs can compare.

Got the chance to drive a GLE63s (non coupé format) and I think it would be a perfect 2nd car to your dream 2 car garage. Also love the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT but in terms of overall performance + comfort, this takes the cake in my opinion 👏

[@MuffinMoney]

While I have not driven or been in a 63s - I recently test drove a 2024 GLE580 and man, can that car move! It had GREAT sound and was super smooth (even on 22 inch wheels). I must say, it sure beats our Cayenne that we currently have, but then we do have the base car - but with a lot of options.

[@trevorboyd2715]

The Engine and Transmissions are hand built in Germany by AMG and just installed in the States. This is by far the best version of the GLE. Many of the Sub 53 / 63 variants have more problems being the cheaper trims. The 63 being a flagship typically have more attention to detail in their assembly. I’ve been in both a standard GLE and an AMG GLE 63s coupe and the difference in quality is wild.

Do these AMG have electrical issues after 10 years of ownership? Especially with the use of plastic and all the electrical stuff nowadays? Even Toyotas have issues after plastic gets brittle after 10+ years. Not trying to hate, but very curious.

[@richardsanders3750]

AMG models are really the most bang for your (expensive) buck. You get performance that rivals or passes competition. You get interior luxury that most certainly passes almost all competition. The look of the car is aggressive and beautiful. And most AMG cars you can daily drive as well. Mercedes gets hate but it’s really one of the best brands 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ChristianC-gy1ym]

In 2015 I got married and I had to switch gears from riding fast bikes, to learning about fast cars because I wanted a future with my wife and possible children. I got into boosted, tunable, luxury(esq) cars like the F80 m3, c63 amg, etc. Spent over 200,000 on cars several years. Then something dawned on me... It's the stark realization that I wasn't really having that much fun driving around in them. Sure, the power is at first addictive. And the more you tune it and see the unlocked potential, the deeper you fall for this culture. Full stop. It all became meaningless. You are letting the car do all the work. All you're doing is pressing the gas pedal and having JUST enough coordination and reflexes not to lose control of it, which isn't hard to do. And I remembered how much more fun I used to have in a slower, simpler, stick shift car. Like my 370z. My old genesis coupe. Even my "slow" 328i. I had so much more fun when cars were simpler, lighter, and I was rowing my own gears. This GLE is fast. But it is soooo boring. I mean this video is literally EXACTLY just like all of the other videos of yet another 100,000 dollar super fast automatic crossover thingy. How times have changed.

[@noahcolleton9297]

Pretty good point

[@whatsupwithsteve]

Sigh, I know what you mean. My first and almost favorite car was a 4speed Datsun 510. Handled like a dream but took all afternoon to get over 90mph..:) 2nd fav. was an 08Z06. Also a really fun car! Getting older now and don't drive as much so can't really justify 2 cars any more so we combined the power and luxury with the 63s suv. Ah compromises....

[@justinheiden7998]

You’re kinda comparing apples to oranges with your comment man… half the price of this vehicle is so you don’t have to sit in a 370z two different classes of feel inside.. not even beginning to talk about hp or performance.

[@ChristianC-gy1ym]

@@justinheiden7998 People covet fast luxurious 100,000 dollar cars because they can't have them. And for many, they can and will I suppose. But to some, the novelty wears thin.

The new electric turbo chargers offer a feature called ”boost recuperate” that allows some of the excess energy created in acceleration to be returned to the car often while braking or downshifting. Result is increase in efficiency and fuel economy while maintaining the power.
