Should You Buy a MERCEDES R CLASS? (R320CDI Test Drive & Review)

[@CapnChapster]

I’ve had one since 2007. Three trans Europe trips, each lasting a month, shipping a family of six. A flawed but awesome beast, outrageous comfort pace and storage. Expensive to run. Rare and special. I love mine . It’s never going to be sold, it’s just too good.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Pleased to hear it

[@erinrife]

Why is it expensive to run? I’m in the states so we don’t pay annual taxes on our cars. Instead, each state requires you renew your license plate sticker which can cost $25 in a republican state like Kansas and $150 in a democrat state like Illinois.

[@straightausffm1495]

My dad bought a 2006 R320 Diesel back in 2012. As a 4 people family that thing was a dream and a doom. It was no doubt the most comfy car I sat in and as a family that drove from Germany to Croatia every year and to Macedonia sometimes (a 2000km drive) it was compared to the 2000 ML 320 or the 2013 C180 a real dream. You just sat in the middle row like a king. BUT that thing had some real issues at least for us. On a drive to Croatia the car went into limp mode. Waited for 8 hours for it to be fixed in the middle of Austria (I think it we paid around 3,5k for a EMS change) just for it to break down in Croatia again because of a particle filter. We did get a loan car paid by our insurance and the car was sent back to Germany to be fixed. Forward 3years and the Air-Matic had a compressor issue. Fixed it and sold it. But the Air-Matic has always been known to break down so it was a matter of time for that to happen.

[@SQLRYAN]

We have a 2007 R350 that we bought new. What you said is spot on, nobody really knows what it is, you won't see another one sitting next to you stopped at red light. No major issues and it now has nearly 200K miles. Quiet, comfortable and it will get up and go when I make it go. Perfect road trip car.

[@Birdfeeder795]

Brilliant car. Mine is a 2007 R320 and it has been outstanding in the 5 years I’ve owned it. It has 200.000km on the clock and looks almost brand new inside. Cheap on fuel, pulls like a train an eats long stretches of road for breakfast. Build quality is outstanding, and it looks a bit odd witch i like. As long as you maintain it properly it’s not going to let you down. Only buy one that has been maintained according to the factory program. This car is like an S class wagon, comfortable as hell and can carry 4 adults and two children in comfort for long periods of time. If you want one, buy one!

[@HighPeakAutos]

Glad to hear you agree. My 2007 MB R Class 320 CDI is everything you said. I think you forgot it turns sharply which makes parallel parking a breeze. I plan to to keep and rebuild it when need be. I’ll never have to buy another vehicle ever❣️.

[@charlesmalone4379]

My car service in Chicago used this car to transport us from O Hare to downtown . Since there were only 2 or 3 of us , plenty of room in the boot for bags. The ride and “ quiet “ was fantastic. Much better than a Suburban. The owner got great fuel efficiency. I really thought about buying one based on my experience. The problem was there were no used models available at an affordable price in the US. If I were in the UK would seriously consider a diesel with 100k that had been serviced.

I have a R500. He is right about the electoral glitches but the engine and transmission are strong as long as the sensors dont conflict with either. I love mine an original for sure.

[@damilolaakanni]

I'd definitely recommend one of these if it has the 3.5 petrol V6. That's the same engine as pretty much the rest of Mercedes lineup. The ML, E class, E class, C class. Apart from the balance shaft failing, there aren't many issues that I know of with those.

[@marksmith3464]

I drove the Chrysler Pacifica (a US version of the R Class, Daimler/Chrysler joint venture). 4 litre straight six producing 253 BHP, it was lots of fun, very comfortable, and very fast, 140 mph +.

[@damilolaakanni]

The Pacifica had a V6. It was a 4.0, but it was a V6. Chrysler had phased out the straight 6 around the time the JK Wrangler started production.

[@RevLexus]

Great video man, sitting with my afternoon tea watching this. I loved the R class when it came out, my mum almost got one in 2009 but ended up with a Black A6 sline avant instead. The R63 is a unicorn in the mpv segment haha

Recently bought a low mileage 2008 R350 4matic long wheelbase These are a great lifestyle car... Cheap to buy....large and luxurious middle row and very versatile for throwing in bikes, running gear and so forth And with 280hp, they are effortless on the motorway. Very happy with it and how it offers space, comfort and versatility for daily use and trips out to runs, rides and triathlons etc.

I bought mine, a 2009 R350 with 96,000 miles for under $11K. Hope to keep it for a while

[@iambrandin_]

Is it more expensive on maintenance? Parts cost?

[@smario2820]

Damn Matt, you're getting better and better. I've now watched all your videos and am a fan, nice to see level headed reviews of normal, more attainable cars now and again, I also like the variety and quirky ones like R Class. This kind of mix appeals to all of us petrolheads who like to peruse AutoTrader regularly. I like your chilled approach just don't skip on the key technical points like power, torque (in lb/ft), 0-60 (not 0-62) and real world mpg. Generally, a bit of history of the model wound't go amiss and some general impressions of the steering, brakes and suspension that you feel are worth mentioning, maybe add in some "quirks and features" that stand out, we won't tell Doug De Muro if you don't... :-D You already have your own free-flowing style but establishing some sort of structure to relate to would be a good next step. As a side note: A cool idea that I thought would work on your channel is reviewing every generation of the 3 Series, could be built over time and labelled as a series, something like "The 3 Series Series" All generations of the 3 Series are compelling cars, E21, E30, E36, E46, E90, F30, G20 in all their variants, and what better excuse to experience them all. This would appeal to all from classic enthusiasts to those interested in cheapo used and even those who want more recent great value reliable motoring like the F30 variants.

[@bucarelli11]

Thank you, a fair description of my car. This car is very special, ideal if you like to travel in comfort. Spain is a big country. (Bigger than what looks in maps). Very often, one says "I'll go from Seville to Valencia" And you calculate a few hours..!!!.. Soon you discover that you need a car like this, since more often than not one needs to rest during your journey and nearly always you need to stay overnight in a hotel... Then one needs a car like this, very spacious to carry your suitcases, very spacious to travel with a couple of friends not necessarily having to be on top of each other. If you travel with your maid she/he can carry her/his things at the back, next to one's doggy and picnic case.. Etc... In summary, if you like to travel in style this is your car. Specially if you like living in style, instead of taking a flight from Seville to Valencia. Thank you Sir, I really enjoyed your video..

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

The only thing I can think which rivals this is a Ssangyong Turismo (which also shares some Mercedes engineering), and is also rear or four wheel drive and is absolutely massive. It's a fascinating car, though. The only other one which slipped through the focus groups to this extent in such an unbelievable way in terms of what it actually supposed to be would be a Suzuki X-90. Try reviewing one of those!

[@HighPeakAutos]

Lloyd Vehicle Consulting Yeah you’re right. It used to be called the Rodius. What a hideous thing that was 😷

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

@@HighPeakAutos, it was indeed! Based on the late 1990s Mercedes E Class chassis, as is the Turismo. The Turismo is astonishing value for money for the space and has a seven year 150,000 mile warranty. The Rodius has neither of those advantages...

[@HighPeakAutos]

​@@diyguy928 Hey yea it's a great car, luxurious, spacious, practical & powerful, Perfect for my family of 5.

But we bought the R320 for 16K. & it does exactly the same thing as a 50K new 7 seater can do. & it's also So much better than any other 7 seater in the same price range & age. So I don't mind spending some thousands on it to fix a few things. The main issues I've had is the Transfer Case chain stretched & tensioner broke, requiring a rebuild & repairs. The oil cooler in the valley of the V6 is leaking oil down out the back of the engine (looks like a rear main oil seal leaking, but its not), requires a big job to fix it, its not major, but annoying. & Drivers electric window button set needs replacement, buttons broken & come off.

Another great review pal keep them coming

Sajid Bashir Thanks for watching 😉

It's one of the very few Merc i like. And I do like this one. Keep in mind it's not a driver's car. Cockpit isn't much fun. But I really like what they did with all the passenger seats. Comfy and great ambiance. Probably the most sensible car to be chauffeured in.

[@crazyfroggie6546]

Massive tank, I've always considered these to be merc's take on the Chrysler voyager. Not a fan of the few I've seen on the roads, they're almost too big for UK roads and certainly too big for the car parks.

[@HighPeakAutos]

They are massive

[@buddyitsmikebuddy]

Would have loved to see the back seats and the room in them.

[@Марк.Фетнов]

It's like the Mercedes sausage, a bit of everything in it!

[@flyme195]

Always wondered about the odd ball that was the R-class and yet, despite its looks, found it appealing in a weird way.

[@sydjaguar]

Please review the R300CDI as well

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Didnt know this existed. Quite like it.

Doug Demuro reviewed the R63 AMG. It was a quick old bus, but it's a very fugly car though.

[@drdoolittle5724]

Very surprised someone hoodwinked you into even driving one let alone attempting to 'move' one on, their reputation is really worthy of something made in Madagascar!

[@HighPeakAutos]

They always sell very well

[@borjarezola6302]

Actually Im the owner of a R63 AMG, and already got my own jacket. Sooooo, stay calm and dont be rude, boy.

I used to have a baby blue 2007 R350. Wonderful vehicle. I would buy a new one in a heartbeat, but they aren’t available in the USA. The closest to it, is the Pacifica.

[@ericniemi8443]

They are all over the place here. I've seen a black one and a red one here in Wisconsin. My wife has a white one.

[@DanDan-tt6gv]

Eric Niemi, hi there! I’ve seeing plenty of them, but what I meant is that, as of right now there are 0 new ones at the dealership. Only China has them.

I owned an R320 and I absolutely loved it and miss it. However, we live in Greece and the state of the roads always seemed to trigger an electric or computer failure that always seemed to cost €500 to fix.. It had to go.. I always loved the look of it.. Thought it looked a bit like a Gangster’s idea of an estate car..

[@glitterkittensreid5079]

MB The Best or Nothing is not said lightly or just an off hand boast. The vehicles speak quality. Even strange ones like the R class. Seen them going for $3000 CAD for the R320 Gas version. Looking for a CRD version if I don’t grab an E250 or E320 BlueTEC with the 4MATIC system.

My Marmite car - even after all these years, I can't decide if I love it or hate it.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Dont Know after driving it for a few hours, I still can’t decide either

I'm actually looking to buy one.. I have a large family and I need a mpv but don't want one 🤔😅. What I'm trying to say is this vehicle was made for me😌😌☺️☺️

i am into my second one and i love them!!!

The quality bench mark for Mercedes is the E class. The S takes it up a couple of notches on quality and ride characteristics. Every thing else below uses the badge to hide behind on poorer quality and ride. My Mrs has a A class CD. She loves the colour and image. It works, although the build quality is just OK and ride and engine noise lets you know your in the economy slot in the range. Just saying!!
