My First Year With A V12 Mercedes | S65 AMG Owner Review

1 year has flown by! I've put 12K miles on my S65 AMG with a 6L twin turbo V12. Whats it been like and what are the pros and cons of owning this car that Mercedes no longer makes?

This is literally my favorite car (as far as reasonable cars price wise go), it's perfect and attainable.

[@WealthEngineering]

1 of my top 3 dream cars

[@Troybwoyy]

And I’ll watch another 347 reviews because it’s a badass car

Feels like the 347th review on this car.

This car has never been on my radar... thanks to Mike it is... especially a pre owned .. you really save a boat load. The steering wheel upgrade really takes it next level... so worth it

Amazing video as usuall, keep up the good work bro 👏

[@petrolheadforever196]

Mike I blame you for my ///// A M G obsession. But I also thank you because since I first subscribed to you with your first C63s I knew one day I would have to have one. Now 6 or 7 years later we have a amg. It has brought a lot of joy to our family. I bring it to cars and coffee with my 7 year old daughter. And even my wife drives it and makes it pop and crackle and thinks it’s fun lol. Amg definitely knows how to create an experience and emotions while driving. I know you have been a lot through this past year and wishing you all the best in the future.

I know the value of this thing took a big hit, which is why you still have it. And that is okay man. Enjoy it in the mean time till you’re even! Unless you already are! Thing is just really, really pretty.

[@cfodc823]

This channel is in need of a super car!!

[@janetk2564]

That is a beautiful car for sure

[@fit_pharmd4830]

**Mike a few suggestions: you should branch out and do more car culture content. Examples: Road trips with friends thru multiple states, collabs with other KZbinrs, buy/finance an affordable iconic vehicle and slowly modify it maybe a 90s or early 2000’s vehicle that isn’t super expensive to modify. I’m just pitching ideas so you can gain a larger following. Danger Ranger is great but it’s never going to be a resto mod. You need a project car that takes you across the states to different well known car garages where you can modify the car while you’re there and meet the crew. Idk, I’m just trying to help improve/expand your channel. The AMG stuff is your bread and butter but you’ve gotta have other car passions you can dive into!? Love you man!

[@mrfred641]

Love that Car Mike.

[@LuisRamirez-ln3cj]

That car must look siiiick in black. Very nice.

[@sickjohnson]

Definitely a keeper!

Dude, we’re all in love with our AMGs. Just think that your V12 has three times the cylinders as a new C63 😂. But, if you want to be a true boss, pay off your loan.

Awesome and outstanding

Been a bit Mike. Hope you are well?

[@jespermalmskov7901]

8:48 - Mike, Pull the paddle shifters (either one) and hold while starting the engine, it will rev up the engine at start up for a few seconds.

[@simonkaggwanjala]

Revs to what RPM?

[@MikeMac.-sz9hx]

Hey Mike, cheers from another Mike here on the west coast of Canada. First comment in 6 years. Watched you since your first tribulations with that water locked C63S. Had the opportunity to purchase a W205 C63S in 2021 and love it. Prior to that I missed out on a used 2013 W204 507 edition. Literally missed it by hours. Nevertheless I have warranty on this one to 2025 and ability to extend it. Your V12 sounds great but the V8 is plenty fun given the crap roads here. As a German ex-pat, I miss having the ability to stretch this car’s legs on say the A8 Autobahn between Nuremberg & Munich. But I live near a German built racetrack owned by the dealership group here and am able to take it out on the occasional track day. If you’re ever in the Vancouver area, drop me a DM.

[@paulcaudle6275]

Did Chris ever send you the new rear diffuser with black exhaust tips? Are you still gonna replace the rear star?

[@blade-x]

is indeed the most beautiful Mercedes, the S65

[@danoalex2977]

I never get tired of seeing that car lol, in conjunction with the motor it is automotive art.

Mike, what are your thoughts on the AMG GTS/GTR?

[@sokus1]

👍 Just do de-chrome those vents to eliminate reflections!

[@Jimgoose2112]

They’re more of a brushed silver metal than shiny chrome. But yeah, that would be the first thing I’d do too.

[@briandesrocher6882]

I love love this car!!! I am more in love with the first and second gen CL 55 and CL 63 im torn on what year i love the 55 super charger whine… it’s bliss… ok my question is does your car have apple CarPlay? I don’t believe they had it for that year. If not i have seen a beautiful kit that upgrades it… thanks

commented too early

[@gregs8685]

Unbelievable car. I am wondering if the S63 4matic coupe is the better way to go though. The earlier ones have the 5.5L biturbo and the facelift car has the 4.0L hot v biturbo.

What is your wheel and tire set up? Name brand also. I own a 2008 CL 63 coupe amg

[@dwaynejohnson4081]

You should consider uploading videos of the new 2024 single cab F150 V8 with a supercharger that produces over 700 hp under $50,000. It’s a BEAST!!!!BADASS!!!

[@DopeMazz]

ooooooooooo this car is niceeeeeeee

Funny you said that about the front plates in ny I rejected my m5 in 2018 bc they drilled into my bumper which I asked them not to do over a dozen times

I’m surprised you didn’t compare this to a Lexus LC500. Feel like they are good competitors.

[@Papolucho702]

It does kind of sound like the Huayra. I mean kind of, not exactly like it. Very cool!

[@patrickmause]

2nd nicest coupe ... after the ///M8.

[@thebigjoker0728]

Love the car but hate the color. The red is just too much. Silver on red was better. Matte black would have been nicer as well.

[@joem3766]

If you hold one of the paddles while you start it it starts up even louder …. At least my c43 does… not sure if yours has that option or if it even needs it

[@tylerpine2297]

Turbo and cooling upgrade

[@TheCelticcraig1888]

Can some tell me the make and model of the wheels plz ???

[@jasongoodall8600]

I have to disagree with you on the massage and cooled seats. I have the S63 and those seats are awesome. The massage function and cooling are excellent.
