Mercedes S580 Review - Luxury and Pringles Cans - Test Drive | Everyday Driver

[@freedomvan2970]

Gents, I had a terrible day at work and was thinking on my drive home what Everday Driver videos I could rewatch while vegging and trying to destress. And you guys came through with a new one!!

[@TestDriveVideos]

Glad to be of help. One of our channels drops a new one every Thursday. Thanks for watching and hope your night gets better.

[@javi5377]

You shouldn't be watching videos behind the wheel.

[@pleasantcrew]

"IPad with a trashcan behind it" hahahaha. Tell us how feel, man! I love it!

[@GunnyPhillips]

I currently own the 2018 S 450. This is a beautiful update in every way, save a few. I personally hate the new seat controls compared to the previous ones and also preferred the single glass instrument cluster/infotainment display over the separate screens the car now employs. You started expressing similar disapproval just as I was typing this so I know you understand.

[@harleyquebecenrevue3580]

I just took possession of the S500, you think you’re impressed with the S580, give the S500 a try and discover what smooth stop/start really is and the performance is same with 4 passenger + luggage as the V8 version. The S500 should not be under estimated as it’s truly a marvel of technology, in fact, it’s the same engine as the AMG E53 ! Look forward to your review of that one soon.

[@Victic005]

I can see a lot of dusk and spots on the gloss black dash from here.

[@4WHEELBIKER]

Good point about the relatively short life of technology. I've heard several auto mechanics refer to most modern cars as "throw aways" because so much computer and electrical tech is tied in to the operation of the vehicle.

[@joespittle1]

The piano black steering wheel is gonna be a hot mess in a few months, it would also be nice to see the specific car in the infotainment

[@Victic005]

It already is. I can see the white dusk spots.

[@DubioserAltschauerberger1510]

No problem. Just install the new steering wheel from the W213 and w206. Looks much better

[@dscottsw1]

I saw one of these at a traffic light the other day and was wondering about it. Very nice review. Thanks.

[@natemoothart6967]

I would love to see them try a Flying Spur next!

[@dallasstang2818]

2021 MB S580 goes for about $75-85k. Almost half to 60% of the new MSRP. I’d pick one up and get an extended warranty in a heartbeat.

[@verde629]

I was looking at the same thing lol. Bargain for a V8 W223 S class

[@joelcrow]

Seeing Georgia plates on all these fancy test vehicles makes me interestingly proud of Georgia :)

[@carycoller3140]

🤮🤢

[@Itzallgoood]

Love the content. I would only lease a Benz. The tech is great. However I feel over time the tech will eventually have issues. So if I were going to buy and keep 5-8 years I would probably go Lexus.

[@501Caution]

Yeap! He was whining about the Lexus. I give Em 1year & few months. That Mercedes will have him Crying with expenses he didn't know existed.

[@Cz007_]

Exaaaccctly.....German cars oohhh and ahhhh you until some hardware or electronics fail before 50k miles (let alone after the manufacturer's warranty) and then you see the pricey bill. It behooves me how many car reviewers/car channels show confirmation bias

[@marcusrawlins-martin2916]

I would only lease a NEW Benz but at 60% off I will happily buy a 3 year old one. My 2016 GL550 is the best car I've ever owned and I only paid $35k for this $100k SUV.

[@solaryatra]

Lease is horrible now. $2900 a month on a $149k S560. I would finance instead with lowest down. For that same amount, I was leasing a $275k Bentley few years ago. Due to the bad safety in my area, I will avoid Bentley. G63 AMG is best bet now.

[@VirallVariety]

no one actually buys one of these. unless your someone who acknowledge your throwing money away and have 0 issues about it. lease all the way.

[@joespittle1]

This thing is stunning, can't wait to snag one in a few years for 40k

[@keithjackson4985]

What a machine! I will be leasing one of these as soon as possible! May actually be a while, but it will always be in the plan.

[@toastingupal]

Great review guys!! 👏🏾

I have a 1999 s320 and still have not had a problem

[@andrewlawson4901]

Just discovered you channel recently and all I can say that it is a breath of fresh air to see car reviewers that are brutally honest about the things that they don't like. I am subscribed to all lot of car review channels and It seems that most of them (not all) follows a cookie cutter format and praise most of the cars that they review (understandably since most of the times, the dealership lends them the cars, sponsors them, etc.) (savagegeese is one of the few exceptions that comes to mind). Excellent review and I really hope you continue the same path!

[@TestDriveVideos]

We've been reviewing cars on KZbin longer than most (our original /EverydayDriver channel celebrates 15 years this year) and we've always been honest about what we find, both pros and cons. We know most others stick to a different format, and have been quite successful with it - but we greatly appreciate when people find us and connect with what we do. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@Jamesbaker123]

I like everything about this car except that gauge cluster set up and all the piano black - that would be enough to send me to the 7 series and id save money to boot.

[@jamesvelvet3612]

I wish Mercedes listened to the team that wanted a yoke. No joke. It would be the perfect model to showcase a fully integrated yoke or similar.

[@ericjohnson7867]

My friends, If you want to own a power house, find a nice AMG! It's the BEST OF BEST for the price. I have the 2007 S65 AMG (RENNtech), what a automobile! The S65 was discontinued in 2019.

[@MyPC89]

I love this car, but where the heck are they filming this? It's beautiful!

[@samuelorellana2603]

Pardon the cliche comment but I do love the brutal, critical honesty. I was listening to Todd rail on that instrument cluster and thought, "Wow, I hope they get another press MB after that." It feels like a genuine opinion unconcerned with lash back. Sick of other reviewers PR talk their way around criticizing vehicles. Thank you for your take.

[@TestDriveVideos]

We try to mention pros and cons of everything we drive. There is also lots to like here, and we discussed that as well. But for us it’s paramount to be candid and we’re glad it resonates. Thanks for watching!

[@pokejr66]

When you going to do the Chevrolet Colorado z71

[@apospecial3848]

Great video as always. But you got a very naked s-class there… still a big win. Going to pick my S450L up this weekend in Switzerland, it has a smaller engine but it is fully loaded with an MSRP of 198.000 CHF Greetings from Germany

[@rdiamond655]

Impressive and uninteresting. I hope I never get to the point where I want something like this, regardless of how good or high the quality is. I only appreciate this for what eventually trickles down to reasonable cars, which is actually pretty valuable. So M-B, please keep making them.

[@phattyhales]

Having probably spent more time with this car than Todd and Paul did when we had it, I'd say if you were able to spend that kind of time with one too you'd probably change your mind. As a 911 owner, this thing was simply wonderful to drive and experience. It's one of those cars that has so many features that you never thought of but now can't live without/want in everything. But I totally get what you are saying. I was never someone who wanted an S Class. Until I spent a week with this one.

[@bsmiddy236]

@@phattyhales I never wanted one till I drove one and then bought one. F'ing love it!

[@alexi9253]

Thank you for a great imaginative review. You are spot on the tacked-on iPad on the center console but still overall a dynamic and technological advance over the previous model. Just like most car manufacturers, Mercedes seems to be contending with their pleasant traditional dash layout to the iPad electronic touch buttons.

[@ernestvickers6079]

Beautiful Car! I order mine in Black with White interior! Can’t wait!

[@ULTRAMAGADEPLORABLEcultmember]

Great review!👍🏼

[@morganvon5664]

My dad owns one of these. The wheel base is 124 inches. You get behind the wheel of this thing and it makes you feel 90 years old. It reminds me of the huge sedans from years gone by. It's far more capable than those cars, of course. But the person who called this thing a "cathedral on wheels" had it just about right.

[@submariner1348]

If MB had just made the dash more appealing and centre console/instrumentation look like it wasn't tacked on, this car would be perfect. Will be interesting to see if they address the design in the mid-cycle refresh in 2024

[@mattguerra82]

The year is 2035. Todd's son is presenting Everyday Driver: "ask me about cheap Mercedes S580"

[@TEAM6USA]

I have a great respect to Rolls Royce but the S-Class does the job pretty well and you can still afford a G-wagon to the wife.

[@GOTGAMEBRO]

I currently drive a 2018 S560 I wonder why you guys never talk about the assisted driving package to me that’s one of the best features of these vehicles bar-none!!!!!

[@LeftyStratPlayer]

I agree 100% about the tacked-on iPad instrument cluster. It's exceptionally unattractive, to say the least, and looks like a compromised design studio afterthought that cheapens and ruins the entire ambiance of the otherwise excellent interior. Hopefully, MB will see fit to address this with a redesigned dash for 2023.

[@japanjack62]

Love the S Class, the seats are like beds so comfortable. Love the dark green color. I hope car makers continue to bring colors back, so sick of 5 shades of Black,Gray and White.

[@LarcR]

Where Mercedes is definitely not ahead of Lexus is in reliability. It's not even remotely close.

[@501Caution]

That's something they never talk about when it comes to theses cars!

[@scottnewellguitar]

Just can't get over the hey-look-at-every-single-spec-of-dust shiny black plastic carmakers are so in love with these days. That's gotta go.

[@stevecorcoran9869]

You are incorrect. The vehicle you guy show in this video does NOT have the 4D sound system. The 4D system would have the rotating tweeters and an additional set of lower speakers on the front and back doors as well as a large center speaker on the roof and you would have had another speaker by the rear passenger's head as well as the bass shakers included in the frame of the seats.

[@Parjesh888]

does the front chair have airplane fold mode

[@joelcrow]

This car is the S Class of S Classes... That's a joke because they recently said "the GLS is the S Class of SUVs... but by that we mean it's actually just the longer E class of SUVs." This car though, THIS ONE is what Mercedes is branded for. Beautiful luxury! Now if only I can get this car in a coupe :)

[@DavidGarcia-zp1ho]

Great review, but comparing the s580 to a Lexus seems odd. I tested the s580 and bmw i7 and my choice of the bmw was easy. Both great cars, quality of materials and tech a bit better in bmw. Really depends on whether you like a more traditional or sport style,

[@Victic005]

If Kia made this car, and can sell it for $32k it'll be a great car.

[@Rick2010100]

The head cushion cost ca. $50-60 (each) at Amazon, so you replace them if they are worn. If you can´t afford them, don´t buy a S-Class. The car is also not limited to 130 mph, the limiter is set to 155 mph, like all other non AMG cars. AMG cars can have a limit at 175 mph wich can be lifted by participating in MB AMG drivers training. This drivers traing official opens up the limiter, so you get the max speed with full warranty coverage. One can also lift the limiter by a thrird party ECU manipulation (costs usually just 50 bugs), but it would violate the MB warranty policies.

[@petermacklin7870]

Aspirational thinking, that someday...... I'll be in one of these. Love to see you look at a 15 to 20-year old S class and compare the durability and longevity.

[@gunsandcars3648]

unfortunately everyone figured out a used 560,550 was a bargain of the year and they took off in value, hope this crash will allow me to pick one up for a fair price.

[@jimj2683]

One of the last new ICE Mercedes available. The transition to electric is coming.

[@joespittle1]

Most of their lineup is still ICE or mild hybrids. It's only the EQ.. models that are fully electric I think

[@paulm6481]

That infotainment screen is a deal breaker. No knobs for AC or Radio is stupid. Too bad, good looking car. I pass and get a GMC Yukon Denali which at least still has knobs and buttons to control things.

[@bsmiddy236]

Not sure what that means...has knobs??? who cares......I have multiple ways to control everything you mention (steering wheel and control panel) as well as My Mercedes voice command. Unbelievable your buying distinction between a SClass or Denali would be knobs????

[@satyakammisra]

This is a big let down from my w222 S560. Go sit in w222 and this and them compare the overall experience. W222 feels more solid, well built and more special. The cheap Tesla center panel just makes me puke. Doors are super light. Plastics everywhere even with Napa leather and full chauffeurs package. I ordered g63 AMG instead .. wait is 18 months but that gives me more time to enjoy the old S class. G63 is the best self driver 4 door Benz you can buy today. Save your cash pass on the New S class. Just spend $50k more and drive a G63 - it’s so more exclusive, equally fast, fashion icon and makes you look sexy. S class makes you look like an old man.

[@bsmiddy236]

That's if you want an SUV

[@Cz007_]

If you plan on keeping as long term/forever/past its warranty, get a Lexus LS. If you plan to keep only during the warranty period and get rid of it, get this.

That is hands down the ugliest, cheapest looking instrument cluster I have ever seen. On the other hand $135K is positively cheap considering you guys consider $60K a good price for a $35K entry-level SUV.

We see you agree with Todd's comments on the instrument cluster. Meanwhile, our favorite entry level SUV is the Mazda CX5 - fully available for $35k. Thanks for watching.

Says the man who’s never had a Mercedes

[@jeffwilliams7351]

I have owned and put 60K+ miles on both a Lexus LS460 (loved it) and my current MB S550 (really love it). Until you have driven Mercedes best for awhile, you can't really understand how good it is. In 2019 before Covid my wife and I took a 4000 mile 18-day jaunt out west to Yellowstone and the Tetons, etc. What an amazing trip partner our S550 was! Our last five vehicles (2 drivers) have been 3 Lexus and 2 Mercedes, and I love both marques. Yes, when I traded in my LS460 on this Mercedes in 2017, it had 100K mikes and NO major problems or issues. Now that my MB S550 is out of (extended) warranty at 76K mi, I am ready for my next vehicle. But, I am willing to foot the much higher costs (tires, brakes, wipers, etc) of owning this car until then because of how GOOD it really is. Probably will get another, but not till supply chain issues ease up.

The looks of the S Class are certainly catching up to the great liking C Class that for years have looked better than many of their more expensive cars. Hiwever it seems that the more expensive the modern luxury cars are, the worst value for money they offer. Most of the modern luxury cars are more about what you can talk about rather than what most motorist's can practically use and or take full advantage of. I still prefer your old pink Jaguar XJ6.
