Saw the guy who lives near me that used to own a Veyron buy a Maybach S600 for his wife. Got to sit in it a couple days before. I'd honestly rather take it than a Bentley Mulsanne. The interior is just amazing.

[@LuiJoTD]

As soon as you spend about one week with a car with a fridge you won't want to live without it. I used to think like Brian about that until I bought a Land Cruiser Prado that comes with one, and I can tell you it's really cool that you can throw a soda, water, a chocolate bar and even some juice and keep it in there for a few days without having to take it out as soon as you get home, it keeps cool thru the night and in 15 minutes of driving you can cool down a beer to it's "drinkable" temperature (at least on this side of the globe).

[@misterosc]

The menus are complicated? let the chauffeur deal with that

[@EltronOfficial]

***** The only reason I can think of for the tweeters rotating is due to the fact that the sound is high frequencies are very directional and perhaps it aligns with driver position?

[@Jmansummers]

***** Or because they are trying to jump on the B&O band wagon?

The most entertaining review of a luxury car I've seen; only Cooley can pull this off.

[@thameralsalem7640]

Nice episode! Here in the middle east, its so excruciatingly hot, that having a fridge with cold beverages is a very nice and useful feature to have. Thats why some of the more regional cars, like the toyota land cruiser and the nissan patrol have it.

[@cameronjack]

i really like this guys reviews so honest

[@hoppysport2872]

This review was an absolute ball to watch. Very entertaining. Thanks!

Its for the screens/internet access

[@RileyBanksWho]

Ofcourse, think about it; Parents who earn the avarage buck let their kids drive their 'average' car.. Wealthy parents let their kids drive their class car. I drive my uncle's porsche every now and then when he is overseas for bussiness (he shouldn't, i nearly kill myself everytime i drive it).

Must have a huge battery or two for all that equipment! Great review BTW

"Telling it like it is" doesn't mean constantly complaining about every single thing you don't like.

Wish Cooley was my uncle, love this dude.

Once again Cooley shows us hes the man!

[@Kevinjandro]

Great host and fantastic video!

[@lambosforusal]

it does come with infinite door checks, i have been in one and it was the first thing that i noticed opening the door. may it is an option? the regular S class also has it.

[@aaronsu8763]

E in Mercedes stands for efficiency, economy declass the entire car.

***** :( I wasn't trying to be, it's in the manual

[@rabbitbutt67]

The console in my 98 Infiniti opens from either side too. It's great.

I don't see the links. I wanted to check out the dash cams. You should put them in the description.

This is the first time I ever heard about the split view feature. Very weird that no other reviewers have ever highlighted it. Pretty cool feature though!

[@mx5hong]

The dash-cam in the Corvette (and Cadillac ATS-V) has a valet mode.

Damn that maybach! makes want to go to a spa where you get your balls messaged! lol

[@po.russki]

Even the seatbelts have some kind of sealing to have them make less noise.

[@betterfuture7529]

"you don't need a loan to buy this car, you need a degree in engineering." LOL this guy is something else.

[@mahfah7911]

@7:14 LOL "barely enough room for owners ego in the trunk"

[@roberthayden8722]

I can't believe you called the i3 a compliance car. They sell them everywhere, not just CA and not just the USA. They're selling at about 50-80% the volume of the LEAF and they invested a ton of money to make the most efficient EV ever.

[@ahmadatlam]

I just love it when every once in a while a serious auto maker like Benz comes along and throws in everything they have and their unique selling point for this car is ... you should buy one just because you CAN. The hell with trunk practicality ... true the fridge eats up a lot of room in the trunk, however, it seems the guys at Cnet dont have a clue on how Maybach clients travel. There will probably be a convoy of Range Rovers following this car with all the luggage, admin staff, help staff and occasionally full security detail, so trunk space is never an issue. In fact most Maybach owners probably dont know what the inside of their trunk looks like. As a matter of fact they probably will never spend in the car more than 2 hours in a single trip, because any trip that requires more than 2 hours will be shortened using the private Jet ... One thing I think Cnet missed is the back seat techs ... like massage, seat temperature, ventilation, how many ways it moves, corner bracing where the whole seat tilts to maintain a normal resultant on its occupants during cornering and not disturb them ... so on and so forth. When it comes to Maybach, dont mention practicality ... if you want practical, get a Lexus. Also if you truly love the car, you will get your Engineering degree and you will know how to navigate all the options (or you will assign someone to do that for you), if you want simple, get a Rolls

[@tigersofsteel7478]

where is the dashcam link?

[@fjpg69]

Hey Brian, minute 1:14 sounds exactly like a BMW/Rolls-Royce when turning on the ignition. Subliminal or direct message? ha ha.. Btw great review as usual!

[@blik4177]

that is one beautiful car

[@guptavish]

Don't you understand.... a person buyin this car has a driver to learn all the controls and order him to what you want. That's what he's employed for.

[@TheLanard]

People buy this car to be chauffeured around, which is why there's a fridge in the back. Also remote control for the front. As far as the complicated info system, that's for the chauffeur to learn to use. The owner just tells him/her what he wants.

[@malizadeh3862]

Hi this Mercedes s600 is priced at a few dollars ... and in which city ...

[@alpha2957]

Could you, please, do a review on both the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG Sedan and Coup or coupe? Thank you!!!!

[@xstinah8106]

His voice is NICE! PERFECT CAR! I CAN'T WAIT TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD 2 LOL

[@tonydano]

I don't know what your problem is with the Fridge. The Ford Flex has had that option since 2009. It's nice thing to have on a road trip.

[@reggier2343]

will it drift?

[@user-fc1mh3rz6m]

can anyone tell what the background music is at 16:57

[@gtarules1]

It's basically an 8-inch longer S-class, but I don't think I'd get it. Why not just two S-classes? lol

[@tibchy144]

glad he didn't repeat that burmester reminds him of budweiser

[@bengarcia9612]

I like the 57 and 62 more than the new s600

[@JaiisonBANKS]

Agree. Now looks like any other Merc.

[@jmantv7]

ben garcia ikr now the new s600 looks like any other Mercedes u see driving around

[@hiddensetting5238]

The Lincoln town car 2003-2011 armrest compartment does the same thing.

[@Godofhel1]

He sat in Mercedes the first time? So many Mercedes have that feature, where "the hinge on the console changes the sides".

[@satyrsxlm]

Brian Cooley you are VERY good at your job! ;-)

[@gary_beniford]

wait 20 years buy one have everything repaired keep working at McDonalds.

[@dgdw]

PaliOnMyMind You are correct. Speaking as someone who, in the late 90s, received a screaming deal 12 year old BMW 535i as his first car .... I can say first hand the maintenance cost on these things (particularly at that age) is well out of the reach of anyone making minimum wage.

[@SuperImmunologist]

Derek Weber The older the car, the harder it is to find parts.

[@gary_beniford]

still cheaper than buying new

[@masoncdyer]

***** yeah but it's still extremely expensive, old and constantly falling apart and it looks very outdated
