Car Tech - 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG

[@william1760201]

No one is better than Brian Cooley. He was the go to expert for my last 5 cars. He's untouchable !!!

[@sipan9000]

From park you push forward on the shift lever and it goes into reverse... literally took me 3 seconds to figure this out when i first got into this car.

[@s559tja]

Brian Cooley is like the father I never visit

[@lefuedebout]

Why so much hate here? Before you watch the video you already know Brian is presenting it. So if you don't like him don't watch CNet videos. I rate him highly. He certainly knows his cars.

[@Weturpantsify]

this car is an absolute beast, to be honest everything about it is astonishing a tap on the throttle gives whiplash and the sound is fantastic. It's the second CLS i have owned i have it in a dark grey with a creme and black interior, best car i have ever owned, i hope i have answered your question

[@AnyTechReviews]

One of my favourite cars of all time.

[@willsonnss]

AMG IS ALWAYS COOL TO LOOK AT

[@nayidcruzarce2940]

Is this one good for a daily day driving, I know the guy said that it was good for long trips but, I wonder if the sound is too loud, what do you think?

[@willsonnss]

sound cool too gal will like it much better then bmw

[@willsonnss]

if you like this car you are a cool guy

[@willsonnss]

go watch drag time info amg 63 you will love it

[@willsonnss]

or watch drag timesinfo nissan juke R

[@triniwarrior16]

you always seem to get all the nitty and gritty in every car LOVE IT makes us know what exactly where getting

[@chris8sirhc]

Favorite car, my mission is to own one one day

[@Megadriver]

The CLS63 is amazing! This guy is biased. He just badmouths it, cause he feels like it. Here is my review of the CLS AMG. I have driven it, last summer. Got my hands on it for several hours for one day and then for a whole day the following month. Styling - brilliant! Aggressive, sleek and sexy. Interior - classy, elegant and you feel sort of at home. (A bit cramped in the back seats, but still manageable) Drive: Amazing power. Straightline performance is mindblowing! In the corners, she is tailhappy. Even with the ESP on, the car slides out a bit. But turn the dial to S+ and this car goes mental! Absolute beast, destroying corners, going sideways, possibly in a cloud of tiresmoke (I didn't smoke tires, but I definitely got her going sideways) The whole car feels alive! He says the gearbox is sluggish. That's only cause he doesn't understand Mercedes controls. S+, "Eco" button off and tweak the options in the Command unit and this car can give you a superb, exhilarating ride. The gearbox is actually blitz-fast and if you drive in a sporty manner, the car "remembers" you are driving sporty and keeps the revs up. As for the command. It's not as slow as the guy says. You can get it to lag, but you need to skip through functions like crazy. Not being familiar with something doesn't make it bad. It makes you look rubbish, for not knowing what your doing and not having the proper research. Verdict: Brilliant car, biased tester

[@jaredsc10]

Yes, it is amazing. I'm in the process of ordering a '14 CLS63 AMG S -- superluxury and 0-60 in 3.2 seconds!! How does it get any better?

[@Megadriver]

Jared Caputo "How does it get any better?" You order an S65? XD But yeah, sweet car. Real dream machine.

[@jaredsc10]

megadriver6 Very true -- that V12 is amazing, as with the new S-Class in general! But, even that likely won't do 0-60 in under 3.2 seconds (C/D test for CLS63 AMG S) due to weight. But, I'm a Mercedes-Benz and AMG enthusiast so I love them all! It really is a great car. If you look at the performance, luxury, and the number of doors, it can't get any better. Also, I like Cooley (I think he's a great reviewer), but he doesn't get this car (along with many other MBs). CNET is sort of biased against MB and towards Audi.

[@beefbroth6539]

Just because someone have a different taste than you doesn't necessarily mean they're biased. I in fact much prefer if different reviewers have different opinions. Keep in mind that this reviewer has tested hundreds of different cars for god knows how many years so his opinion on this car is most likely based on the performance of this car compared to other cars.

[@AAIC1]

Brian Cooley isn't biased, Brian Cooley says what Brian Cooley says because Brian Cooley is Brian Cooley.

[@Weturpantsify]

i own this car and i must say the best car I have ever owned

[@keasheam]

great car..just bought one 4 days ago and im feeling gooood

[@TheEshamaj]

did You buy the AWD or FWD another question what was the price at the end?

[@chaffeyman]

How’s the maintenance cost

[@jrcook333]

One of my favorite cars

[@CineplexPlayhouse]

What s GREAT review!! Subscribing for sure. You know your stuff man!

[@georgecostanza2695]

No he doesn't... can't even figure out how to get into gear. The transmission does not work the way he described; you can go directly into drive OR reverse from park by pushing up or down past the detent.

[@FanOfAttitudeEra]

He didn't even knows that to go directly to reverse from park he has to push the paddle forward. Simple as F u ck.

[@ishowyouapple]

Wow that tech system inside has the graphics of a gameboy color

[@cutietaehee]

As a wise man once said, "I want this car more than I want my next breath..."

[@shadowstorm545]

The best looking merc sedan

[@anjr9915]

I like the reviewer but it seems like he has some bias against Mercedes

[@iqless7313]

Here he says you'd never guess this is based on an E-class because it's so different... and yet in the CLS550 review (same car different engine) he said the CLS is very E-class in its presentation..? it's the same car!

[@AG-jh1ky]

Instead of commenting on the beautiful exterior and the high end quality interior he’s fixated on the insignificant mmi

[@Jjr36022]

Give this guy a tv spot please

[@RyanOver]

WOW THE CAR IS SEXY !!!! the CLS 63 and the S7/RS7 are the sexiest car on the road for me if you have more money than that Ferrari 458 or Aventador

[@Romashka8706]

All fine for me in Opera. Just watch in HD and it does not freeze

[@mainlymusicman]

from park, its not as difficult as hes saying: just one detent forward for reverse, and one detent back for drive. thats it.

[@venkat147]

BMW 640i GC, Mercedes CLS 500 or Audi S7? highest performance without going in M, AMG or Quattro.

[@Darkender1988]

It's a mercedes, they don't come cheap ever

[@othersidebrasil4729]

this is dream....

[@rousseau327]

If you actually listen to what he says, he actually does criticize this car and gives his personal opinion of aspects of the car. I don't want to watch a review that is exactly the same as one I can watch at C&D. Some people actually want to know that some parts of a car bothers a person, so when time comes to buy one, they can look out for it and see for themselves.

[@Narrowcros]

He's always like this with Mercedes-Benz cars

[@MBAMG65]

This is a grown man's car, youngsters don't demand this much comfort

[@royl8903]

i laughed at the command intro lmao

[@francisgriffith462]

The show looked like it was made in the early 2000s

[@parodyislandpictures]

Um, I think he said the car was better for highway rides. And the CLS competes with the 6 series grand coupe, so yeah.

[@gambino617]

he said the 2014 model will be a different car... will the interior and exterior design be different or just the performance???

[@MultiBillionPork]

This is a really awesome car. I mean come on,I don't get all your negativity.

[@254915796]

к слову да один из красивых мерседесов

[@NicklasHollner]

Have you tried pushing shifter 2 clicks forward when in park to get in reverse...

[@dubreil07]

i like the older generation better in styling.

[@GreenJeepMacLSswappedJeeplife]

MB financial services? On a $90,000 CLS 63 AMG?

[@hughmungus01]

editor at large, oh cooley

[@RealtimeReviews613]

Now if they could only build reliable cars like lexus and acura

[@MBAMG65]

Cooley doesn't like Mercedes, he's a straight-up audi fan boy.

[@dygardion9130]

Am I mistaken or was there not even a push button start ?

[@cn3570]

The push button is removable. You can use the key or use the push button

[@dygardion9130]

Ooo ok

[@Tonyzepeda57]

Cooley make best car video. Cnet must know

[@mike398100]

this is my dream car

[@newton5367]

Still your dream call ?

[@jjlwis]

Video freezes after like 1 min 30 seconds in.... but audio still playback is fine..

[@jothamsiregar4436]

What is it with this guy with mercedes's its like his biast

[@pattycarljackson]

just because its a Mercedes and just because its an AMG or because of its price does not mean you cant give a negative remark about this car it is only a car there will be better cars that come along its nothing special.

[@jamesdavies6120]

I heard Mercedes did a no reverse car first for the genre, so to but Dadousha.

[@ipodude221]

what car does cooley drive?

[@cryteeek]

Watch in HD and the video doesn't freeze!!!

[@snakerb]

No freeze and without HD... Front engine, 4K plus pound car, definitely not gonna corner too well. Most of the viewers are to broke for Mercedes to care though, this a a Rodeo Dr car.

[@RichGarciaTv]

I can only imagine the costs of maintaining this

[@umarluxat7174]

Great review of the car interview . Please NO (drum noise) or music on background .(that generate nervosas , instantly decrease interest on the vid) Thanks .(hoping that you'are considering ...''not ignoring'' the audience advise)

[@samuelperam5067]

Nice car

[@adamhycheung]

Am i the only one whose video isn't freezing?

[@Narrowcros]

Some German cars offer touch screens like Volkswagen and Porsche, though honestly I like Mercs, Audi and BMW setup better

[@rousseau327]

It's funny how mad people get when a reviewer gets a bit critical

[@lotecatanning]

Everyone who is having freezing issues and is using chrome or safari, just copy n paste the url into internet explorer and it should work.

[@thatdudeKarim]

Cars need to just make a slot for your smartphone or tablet.

[@solomonshv]

disagree about what? everything i just said is a 100% fact. the shitty overstated mileage, the terrible entertainment system, and the joke of a transmission they put into the C and E class. the C63, a 70K sports car, doesn't even get a dual clutch transmission. my 50k mercedes doesn't core with remote start. not even as an option. not even with mbrace! maybe germans do make cars that really do work well, like you say. but i'd probably have to pay over 100k for such a beast.

[@TimN-5]

What if i told you that no one buys this car for the tech

[@luisoliveira8321]

6 series copetes with the CLS class but the 640 doesn't compete with 63AMG

[@blakcod8]

I want to see cooleys car???

[@jermaineowens5398]

Brian I really like your reviews, but seriously you complain about the absolute most minute things... It just makes me roll my eyes. A lot of the App suite things are for use when you are stationary! I watched your review of the 2014 S550 and you just made yourself sound like a tool. You gave it some kudos but honestly you never sound like you're really impressed with any car. Why so hostile? The gear level is absolutely easy as cake. I use it on the E63 and it takes no neurons so I think your comment there really isn't necessary. Again, you do a great job voicing your personal likes mostly dislikes, but how about so more kudos.

[@gary_beniford]

Cooley tries to think of what people who will drive the car every day might dislike which is important since once you buy a car pet peeves can make it an unbearable experience. I can appreciate Cooley's approach but to those who don't it can rub them the wrong way.

[@SuperImmunologist]

@jump I always get a good laugh

[@jothamsiregar4436]

You feel me bruhh

[@shrayya82]

This video become an audio track after 3 minutes. :) is this how you preview a German car????

[@colombiantom]

I agree with most of what cooley said except practicality

[@planedudea380]

More and more videos! :D

[@henrytran38]

For some reason this video is so hard to load

[@ashegheaty]

Only the the mercedes big boys are good , the smaller models arent that nice , i fully understand what your going through , with the money you paid you could have bought a dodge charger srt8 with 470 horsepower and fly around town , check it out .

[@omgstevejobs]

The video freezes after like 3 minutes for me. FIX IT.

[@InWithJoshHen]

obviously you have never owned a Mercedes. Nothing else rides quite like one. no matter how old. BMW on the other hand.

[@brettonjames6524]

It's always the same with this guy when he reviews German car.

[@jsingh1112]

the video is freezing. Anyone eles?

[@TheGokki]

All of them.

[@Dankcatvacs]

watched for cooley, not the benz

[@Wolfenion]

If this guy is complaining about the shifter on this car, I don't even want to know about how much he'll complain about an american car. Damn..

[@mmonish91]

Switch to 720p HD. Will prevent the video from freezing. You're Welcome :)

[@Bmwx5fan9]

That's like Honda accord mpg numbers

[@bluedevil9900]

Please don't insult CLS-63

[@jehan0]

Yo whre did my video go? It's stuck!!!

[@seanthe100]

This dude is really showing his bias either toward the car, or Mercedes in general.

[@Masonianjar]

Cooley....to hit reverse hit the shifter 2 clicks up and itll go to reverse.... lol instead of "skipping" it..

[@joshy1024]

It works fine on Google Chrome

[@Top10Tibbz]

Ray Donovan

[@JContente]

just dont like the back lights

[@蕭文翔-z4r]

👍👍

[@aingaran2003]

video's working fine for me

[@ashegheaty]

couldnt have said it better . lol .

[@xxxwarlordxxx]

what? 1% ers have maybachs

[@zir786]

amir khan gave this to his wife

[@papagen00]

Why must all new car designs today look like origami?

[@iamhethatlivethandbreathe7581]

That's my car

[@thecarboy95]

Nothing wrong with mine though.

[@stillkeepin1]

This review pretty much made the 2013 unbuyable vs the 2014. Yes I said Un-buyable!

[@NikoBell12]

You're just mad because I embarrassed you on Motortrend's video.

[@andywar24]

meh!! bmw is the new merc and audi is now in bmw position. personally i like jag cause they understated refined and classy

[@bigswol34]

Hmm.. Paying your car payment from you car?? That's a new one on me.. :-/

[@animalmcburger]

Mercs look decent on the outside and drive real smooth but that ALL they do. Test drive any of its competitor's before buying.
