G63 AMG one year ownership update

[@jackowen-parker9020]

I have a G wagon. It's Mystic blue metallic Designo . I bought it new a few years ago. It has been fairly reliable. I love the noise it makes. Also you do get a ton of attention. The other day a lady waited for me to get out of the car so she could talk to me and tell me how good I looked in it. I don`t like that either. felt like I was being watched..

[@bigdelicous2928]

The course part was the thing that sold me on getting this.. awesome review

[@CarsWithBij]

Thanks very much!!

[@cynblends]

Thanks for the vid! I'm super close to getting one. Appreciate your deep dive.

[@ccavila323]

That is sick Bro! Hope you get one! Looking to get one aswell someday.

Just bought one! We are truly in love!

Can i ride with you? It’s my dreamcar

[@CarsWithBij]

Congrats!

[@kyleb3580]

I’m looking at this same year/model with about 38k miles... a little worried about the maintenance issues. But I test drove it twice and I love it.

[@CarsWithBij]

38k is definitely low. Budget right for potential issues and all should be well!

[@johnbarnes3553]

Great video sir! I plan on purchasing one in the near future and your video was very informative. Keep these videos coming and enjoy that Beast!!

[@CarsWithBij]

Thanks for the kind words!

Bro, I love cougars, picking mines up tomorrow. 😆. Seriously good review.

Thanks so much, congratulations and enjoy yours!

That last part about cougars was a definitely a selling point for me haha

just picked up a 2016 g63 where did u pick up those 22's and that front spoiler...also what size tires on your beast in the video..great job

[@Bella-yl9zm]

Getting mine tomorrow

[@madddriver9715]

GREAT CHOICE IN WHEELS. LOOKS GREAT.

[@CarsWithBij]

Thank You!

[@tomydala]

dang gas is only like 6 dolalrs more than my c250 LOL but the maintenance cost on this thing sounds like my arm and leg will have to keep regenerating from being sold every time Service A & B come up xD

[@MiktadSen]

Nice video 👍 G wagon is for me a beast 😉💯

[@CarsWithBij]

Thank You!!

[@karimkhalaf1704]

Nice and very true review! well done. Been driving a Gclass for some time now and all is well said. One thing you did not pick up on is the windshield noise! might be good to actually detail this topic.

[@uvwxyzo]

In the market for a new truck. Should I get a used g550 or is the g63 worth the price tag? Looking at 2016-2018 models

[@premsworldfamily6616]

could you do a review of the leg room in the g wagon for families? like space when children in back or adults

[@CarsWithBij]

That's not really a video in my wheelhouse. The rear leg room isn't great for adults but fine for children.

[@premsworldfamily6616]

@@CarsWithBij ok....did you manage to tune your exhaust so it has a over run? - plus would you PPF the front of your car?

[@premsworldfamily6616]

Fair point….do you have your vehicle serviced by Mercedes or do you go independently? I called two Mercedes dealerships for a oil change only and one wanted £500 and the other £291!

[@premsworldfamily6616]

ps the transmission issue you had with the car is this a common fault with the g wagon?

[@CarsWithBij]

@@premsworldfamily6616 Oil changes are done at home and the exhaust is all stock. I don't think that trans issue is a common fault with them but I can't be sure. I'd advise joining a G wagon group on FB if there are any and poking around to get a feel for the common faults.

[@complicatedtime]

Great video. I like the Diamond-quilt interior spec on yours. My 3rd G-Wagon was a Designo Graphite 2014 G63 that I ordered new from dealer & updated with RENNTECH Tune to 635hp + 620tq. Kinda overdid it and it became too loud. Sold the car after 14 months. Been a few years since I had a G, and have the dealer hunting for a 2017 G550. I really do not care for the new 2019- generation, drove a couple and feel they lost the “truck feel” and unique sensation... what do you think?

[@CarsWithBij]

I have not experienced the new model other than sitting in it. The only thing I noticed that I didn't like was that the doors didn't feel as heavy. The new interior is much better however.

[@arthurgranados5840]

Those sunglasses match the g wagon and your personality , sheshhh.

[@CarsWithBij]

LOL!! They are some 80's Christian Dior drug dealer sunglasses hahaha

[@jonathant1797]

Thanks for the review. Do you purchase or lease? Would you still get another g63 after this one? Thanks!

[@CarsWithBij]

Purchase and definitely!

It is my own rap song here: soundcloud.com/bijyb/any-idea On all streaming platforms as well.

[@martijnvermeulen3982]

Nice review. You mentioned that you had many issues with the car but you named only two/three. Did you experience any other noteworthy issues? Was the gearbox not engaging related to the faulty gearbox sensor? Thanks for the review, awesome car.

[@CarsWithBij]

Thanks very much! There were a couple other issues, a coolant smell that turned out to be a torn rad hose and also a CEL I have seen a couple times that is usually gone before I can even call for an appointment. Yes, I believe the faulty sensor was why it would not go into gear.

[@martijnvermeulen3982]

Thanks. I am glad you found the culprit causing the coolant smell.

[@leadingedgeexotics]

Nice review I just bought a 2017 G 63 AMG that has a CEL with P 0442 small emission leak code and a P0299 code The battery was changed and a software update done , Check engine light went off for 2 days, then came back I took back to Mercedes Benz , that suggested replacing the charcoal canister after a smoke test After replacing the charcoal canister and purge valve , the light is still on The car drives well , but has significant loss of power after continuous driving for more than 1 hour The car is presently at Mercedes Benz dealership , just will appreciate your insight , since you have owned a G 63 AMG longer than me By the way , the car has 70000 miles

[@aloevera4471]

Hope to buy this soon...

[@dannysullivan9255]

Hey thank you so much for this video. Now I’m even more excited to pick up a 2015 or 16 G63. I was looking at 911s as well or a sports car to daily drive but I think this is perfect. What year is this that you reviewed?

[@CarsWithBij]

This is a 2016 model.

[@adamjohn8790]

You running wheel spacers on yours man ? Your rims sit out great

[@CarsWithBij]

No spacers. Thank You!

[@ennuinewyork6598]

Sweet review though!!!!!!!!!

[@premsworldfamily6616]

I currently own a 2016 rr svr and planning on getting on of these - what’s the leg room like for big guys who are like 6ft 2? Plus you plan on keeping this long term or you gonna trade up soon?

[@CarsWithBij]

My dad is 6'2 and is fine with leg room while driving. With that said the passenger seat can feel a bit cramped for him and back seat legroom is pretty bad. The SVR probably has a bit more legroom but we have spent hours in the car and don't have any complaints about front seat leg room. I'd try for an extended test drive but you're probably going to be fine! I don't keep most of my cars too long, but I have no intentions of getting rid of this car any time soon. I can really see keeping it for 5+ years at this point.

[@premsworldfamily6616]

CarsWithBij sorry for late reply....thanks for the info...so what made you choose a g63 over a svr?

[@CarsWithBij]

@@premsworldfamily6616 No problem man! To be honest, I liked the looks and road presence of the G63 over the SVR. I always liked the G wagon, must have been from seeing them on tv and in movies as a kid hahaha.

[@premsworldfamily6616]

CarsWithBij so what’s next after this then? You decided or is this this the keeper?

[@CarsWithBij]

@@premsworldfamily6616 I think I'm going to be keeping this one for a while. I'm getting back into bikes and might buy another project car at some point but as for main rides this will be it for the foreseeable future.

[@ksavkaf]

how much money do we need to maintain this car per year??

[@HK-ub3dp]

10k-20k

[@ksavkaf]

can you please tell me more about this car, like insurance, down-payment and more, details

[@zachmd2405]

What year is this G? Thank you for the answer

[@CarsWithBij]

2016

[@nssonsmotors2470]

You still got the car? Has it given you any issues since

Wow, gas was only like $2.80 something. What state are you in and I hope you put premium?

Bruh i love your content very much and i'am kind of annoyed with my self because i found you late... and i'm a big Fan of this G63.. and i do love to know your annual budget on this car like... how much u have spend on it like getting it serviced etc... looking forward to your reply with love from india

[@CarsWithBij]

Thanks so much for the kind comment. Annual maintenance should budget about 3k a year when considering brakes/oil and repairs.

[@Bigman-fh1fz]

@@CarsWithBij yeah especially since these cars come around the 30-60k miles mark, you are gonna need the money to maintain this bad boy. Ofc your car is an exception

[@leonchen89]

Nice review. Although I am puzzled by the car choice since you like fast cars. For the same money, maybe a supercar will get you the same amount of attention and twice the performance.

[@CarsWithBij]

I wanted something that would be reasonable to drive year round in the northeast.

Just bought one that’s out of warranty, it has 23k kilometer, we will see how it goes.
