2018 Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Sedan Review - One MAJOR Flaw

[@jimaalex2656]

How the heck this guy hasn't gotten 5million views on this review? One of the best reviews I have ever watched, with a warm sense of humour!

[@AutoAcademics]

Thank you very much, Jima Alex! We truly appreciate your comments and support. Thanks for watching!

[@samirnachabe7272]

I have an S class 550, and it has most of these options, but the only thing that I don’t have is all them maybach options, that I only have a few of them. But the car itself is beautiful, luxurious, and fast!

[@andersgesagt3928]

Samir Nachabe s550 is for poor people. The maybach is double the price

I like the way you review cars and this one was no exception, very entertaining. Lets face it 99.9% of viewers will never own anything like this but it's fun to see how much luxury money can buy. Good Job Chris

[@AutoAcademics]

Thank you, Peter M. The Maybach is definitely a special vehicle and we had a ball pretending to be "special" in it. LOL We appreciate your support and thanks for watching!

Another awesome review! You are detailed, smooth and keep it interesting. So my wife and I have been fortunate to be able to purchase quite a few luxury cars though the yesrs. This 2018 Maybach caught my eye as it was one of them. It was for my wife's birthday and a big surprise. After her doing the heavy lifting raising our 7 kids, she earned it. It was like yesterday back in 1999, we had to have a custom extended van built for our family of nine. A local limousine builder did it under my wife's design direction. That was $125k out the door 25 years ago. She came from an automotive family and has impeccable taste. Good thing for me I've done very well. Back to cars we have a 2020 BMW Alpina B8 (I still drive). The 2018 Mercedes Maybach 650 was beautiful. It was white on white and (sold it for a 80k under purchase price last year). Of course these cars are in no terms an investment other than making my wife very happy! I just put her in a 2024 Genesis G90 E Supercharged. Actually commented on your review of that car too. Now days, I have shifted into investing into collecting exotics, along with a variety of late models. I also have corvettes and at least one in every generation C1 - C8. She does have access to our exotics and claimed the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 5.2L V12 Coupe. It's just light of 4100 lbs with 600 hp and a 200mph top end. Had 7,800 miles on it. Always wanted one but my wife wanted it more. It's a weekend car at best, and amazing car. Remember, a happy wife makes for a happy life!😊

[@AutoAcademics]

Very cool, and your garage sounds fantastic! I'm living vicariously through you and I drive new cars every week! 😅 Thanks for sharing and for watching!

[@zacksalvatore9443]

4:10 are the motor mounts already bad???

[@PRNTestDrive]

I don’t think anyone would use the active speed limit assist 😛

[@prestonrubin7908]

Perpetual Radio Networks i probably would cause im always driving 5 miles per hour over the speed limit so i tend to move a lot quicker with a tap of the gas pedal 😂😂😂

[@PRNTestDrive]

The best way for this system to work would be to keep the MPH/KPH displaying the higher speed while gracefully slowing a bit to give the driver the impression they’re still booking it!

[@PsychLing0]

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?!?!??!!?!!

[@JulezWinnfield]

Home James? Chris must've given Jeeves the day off.....lol. Heated armrests? I've never gotten into any car on a cold winter's day, cranked up the climate controls along with the heated seats and thought..."Damn, my elbows are still cold".

[@AutoAcademics]

LOL That the point of luxury, J High. You don't need it, but once you have it, you're not sure how you lived without it!

The "Maybach" name needs to die along with the original Maybach. It's just a S-class on steroids. Honestly leave the ultra luxury to Bentley and Rolls Royce.

Thank you for a great review. There are a few things that annoy me on ours. The steering assist is nowhere close to our Tesla. The auto start/stop drives me crazy so I turn it off. And, finally, programming in an address or point of interest is frustrating, especially compared to the Tesla. You're right about the fridge taking up a lot of the trunk, but that's not what this car is all about. It is a car to be driven in but, I've yet to hire someone. Perhaps just once in a while for a night out.

How to pronounce “Maybach”? Our esteemed host pronounces it the German way, which it the right way. And that is “mybach”. It gets complicated with cars of the same name but from different countries. For example, the British car brand Daimler is pronounced “daymler” while German manufacturer Daimler-Benz is pronounced “dymler”.

[@andersgesagt3928]

John Richards it’s the same German name for both companies the British are pronouncing it wrong, in both cases it’s Dime ler, words/names should take the pronunciation of their origin language
