BMW v Mercedes v Lexus: Luxury cars reviewed to DESTRUCTION!

[@joe125ful]

Lexus rock in offroading. But that broken BMW:) Mercedes win by reliablity. And Mercedes kill himslef to help poor BMW,S-Class deserve medal!

[@besher532]

why the hell is the lexus so abused, this is the most abused lexus 430 I have ever seen, and they are everywhere where I live, and the norm is atleast 500,000kms

[@nigel.w]

The Lexus did all the tests spewing coolant and overheating so the last engine test wasn't necessarily representative.

[@abdimalikzardheye6623]

yeah that's what I'm talking about

[@nigel.w]

@@abdimalikzardheye6623 I will also note that the Lexus servicing schedule includes a new radiator and water pump at 10 years, and presumably at 20 years. The only way to truly compare such cars is to know if they've all been maintained according to the schedule, or all have been run on a shoestring for the last 10 years or so. It also wasn't a fair test because the Merc was a diesel.

[@juliettebredenoord4523]

The luxery and tech in the Lexus is really impressive if you ask me! I don't have this stuff in my way more recent Tesla M3 and A4 Avant!

[@Dev.Piano.Covers]

I would definitely take Lexus as my daily car , even in till this day people over here in middle east maintain this Lexus very well because of which they look like brand new and runs perfectly and also realibilty of Toyota and Lexus no doubt Lexus is a good car

[@ashkay780]

I couldn't agree more

[@nigel.w]

I'm not a Lexus fanboy, but if all had been maintained according to schedule, I'd choose the Lexus. I wouldn't choose any if they've been run on a shoestring, because they can all be ruinously expensive to maintain properly, particularly if they need a suspension refresh. The LS 430 is not without its problems, but would be my choice out of the three to keep going if the maintenance has been kept on top of...and it can be afforded to keep on top of it. Of course, there are other large luxury cars of similar vintage that are cheap to buy. One of them is the X350 Jaguar XJ, which is also a heavy car with air suspension, but IMO, if you wanted to try to run an old luxury car on a shoestring, your best bet would be the Jag. The Jag's classic styling is also a reason to own one, other than the price, whereas I don't think many people would choose the W220 S Class, E65 7 Series, or LS 430 for their styling. However, IMO the LS 430 is the only choice if one wants to champion the engineering and try to keep such as car going long-term. It's not inexpensive to maintain, and there are various problems, but the engine has proven durability and longevity. And a 430 is a very well-built car made of generally good quality components and materials. All of these cars have electronic components that can make them ruinously expensive to maintain and/or are challenging to source. I think the LS 430 belongs to the latter category. Whereas I think something like a W12 VW Phaeton definitely belongs to the former category, as well as being particularly difficult and therefore particularly expensive to work on. It's also worth bearing in mind that all of this generation of cars include some plastic mechanical/engine components, which isn't good going forward. The E65 7 Series has a particularly bad reputation in this regard, as well as for problematic electronics, and the interior is also full of tech ready to fail at any time. I don't think the W220 S Class is as bad as you may expect, but they are from the worst period in Mercedes history in terms of build quality. My choice of an early-mid 2000s large luxury car would probably be limited to either the LS 430 or an X350 Jaguar XJ. But I'd steer well clear of the cheapest examples.

[@MuhammadAbdullah-bz1gs]

Very old video..is carwow running out of content?

Old video or not, Matt and the crew are starting to do what the golden era of Top Gear did. Have fun with cars and entertain! Plus we learn about the cars along the way. Great job, it’s been a long time since we rock and rolled.

[@publicsectordirect982]

Nothing new, which is what killed top gear

[@cyberfunk3793]

Pointless to destroy the vehicles and create waste on purpose just for entertainment. If one has so much money that it doesn't mean anything, do some tests without destroying the vehicle, make the video and give the cars to people that can use them.

[@KelvinOzzyy]

Its amazing that Mercedes have steering wheels that can grow back!

[@talharoxen]

yea. But how. Is this the same video? reuploaded

I don't get why recently Carwow is reuploading their videos

[@Presto_001]

I really don't know either? They are doing it so often now, I just don't get it.

[@purwantiallan5089]

They done this quite often. Hagerty and Throttle House and even Doug Demuro never reuploaded any of those videos before.

[@subi924]

Could be to do with editing. It has the new logo on the intro and maybe they cut out some type of previous clips like the "help me carwow" or sponsored stuff?

[@lemcakes32422]

they are poor

[@rasherbasher8203]

😮to take the piss out of the idiots who subscribe.

[@jorge4]

I think the Lexus win all events because was no water to cool the engine and the last event was unfair because Lexus not only was no oil in the engine, but there was also no water in the radiator

[@Kuba-qu4tx]

interior in lexus is just incredible

[@SetupSage]

@@mouseleymarshalsIt is the best among them

[@GTARC-2023]

I just sold my 745i in Australia. Beautiful car, but every time I drove it I was worried something might break and break me. Champaign taste on a beer budget. Also in Australia, the rego for 12 months was $1200 compared to 450 for a 4-cylinder.

[@aussie2uGA]

Smart move. You're always scared of that odd sound, the strange smell, the weird ticking noise... Hearing those odd sounds always made me drive it no harder than 7/10ths of its capability and revs.

[@harrysmbdgs]

@@boektcity Yes I am, that’s why I did. I also said “IMO”, which means in my opinion, something to which everyone is entitled.

[@kinduvabigdeal100]

that interior really aged well. it's great even by today's standards.

[@Candra_mvlog]

@@kinduvabigdeal100yeah look at Lexus and Merc Interior, look so dated (90-2000 flow design) compared to BMW’s dash (sharp, edgy).

[@ricardoluckay]

I'm not complaining or anything but why has Carwow uploaded an episode which is actually just 4 older episodes merged into a long video/episode? Were there no reviews, drag races, off-road challenges or comparisons ready for uploading this week or.....?🤷‍♂️ Either way, it's always good to see Mat thoroughly "testing" cars🙈😂 Carwow and Mat definitely always deliver when it comes to content though, I must say. Definitely my favorite motoring channel by a country mile😊

Drove my first new M5 from era. Belonged to a friend, I was rather impressed when comparing it to my new special ordered Lexus IS300. While the IS300 had beautiful design elements such as the Rolex like instrument cluster, a great shifter, good handling and felt rather lightweight. My friends M5 felt like a tank, in a good way, very solid feeling doors, impressive interior in it's own right, beautiful exterior, the massive separator was the power and performance. That M5 V10 made the 2JZ 6cyl IS300 feel as slow as a Civic, lol

[@purwantiallan5089]

M5 2005 car also is amazing, @bladejames8208.

@@fredrickwanyoike2787the m5 would still be tied even 🤭 the LFA was overhyped

[@bladejames8208]

@fredrickwanyoike2787 oh LFA hands down over M5. The LFA did not come out until 2010 and was only available for 2 years. The LFA regardless of straight line speed or track capabilities has the most perfect sounding V10 ever made, possibly the best ICE engine sound ever for a production car. The LFA was also a $375k - $450k priced car compared to a 2010 BMW M5 @ $85k - 95k. The two cars don't compare on any level. A used LFA today goes for around 1 million dollars US.
