[@stunnasaad]

Well the thing is, Mercedes-Benz makes reliable engines, it’s just that they upgrade infotainment regularly, and that’s where most of the problems occur. And maintenance is key. But main reason why Lexus is better in reliablity is because they are more conservative when it comes to infotainment, and they put new infotainment once it is tried and true. Tbh, I would get a Lexus GX 460 and a Lexus GSF. And one Mercedes-Benz sedan, the e53 AMG

[@flycatchful]

I enjoy listening and watching all of Scotties videos. One thing he does not tell you is the cost of labor and it amounts too 90% of the repair cost. In my area it averages $110 dollar per hour using a flat rate manual. OEM parts are expensive because they are imported from Germany when repairing a Mercedes. I recently had the water pump replaced on my Mercedes SLK 320. In addition to replacing the pump it is recommended to replace the serpentine belt and thermostat at the same time. Total cost of parts and labor was $910 dollars.

Thats a no no from me sir, people use Mercedes as taxi cabs just like they do with Camrys in NY. Most mechanics in Europe share the same opinion.

You would think a export luxury carmaker that prides itself on attention to detail wouldn’t be so short sighted to think oh the average Japanese person is shorter than the average German person, so Japanese cars don’t have to accomodate tall people but only German cars do.

LEXUS it´s TOP 👍🏻👌🏻 lexus permanently relies on the quality of workmanship and the highest reliability of its cars, which is confirmed worldwide by vehicle reliability statistics as well as customer satisfaction surveys where lexus has held direct access for a long time. 😍 LEXUS LC500 it´s my Dream Car 🤩

I've had a 2019 Corolla since May with the CVT and I agree with your son, I usually get better MPG in mine than what the car is rated at too!

Hey Scott I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years and I’m looking at getting a newer car in the next couple of years. I currently have a 2014 Toyota Avalon Touring edition and I have been looking at the Lexus ES since it’s pretty much the same car. Toyota is stopping it’s production for the Avalon in 2022 and I was wondering what your thoughts were on the car and what would be better to get.

Never owned a Mercedes. Never will own a Mercedes. You could GIFT a Mercedes to me for free...and I'd then sell it or donate it. My 2015 Lexus RX350? Bought it at 2 1/2 years old in 2017. It's almost 4 years and 40k miles later (58k miles total)....unexpected repairs? $0. Expected repairs/maint? $550, 11 oil changes, 4 wiper blades, 5 air cleaners, 4 interior air cleaners and a battery. So I'm sold on Toyota/Lexus. I'm not giving up my 2015 Lexus RX350....it's paid for and runs awesome.

[@itsnotme07]

@Mike Betancourt Missing out on tow trucks, overpriced parts and repairs (which also happen with the Lexus at the stealer). I drove a C300 convertible for a week in 2018. Wicked fun car.
