Reasons why the internet suggests you should NOT! buy the AMG GTS

[@rafaelreyes9474]

I think all the problems you listed are normal for all cars like this .

[@wait4babao984]

Not really, the suspension on the gts is a lot stiffer than the f8, for example

[@michaelchapa7060]

@@wait4babao984the suspension is stiff for track. This guy is not complaining about the GT he is complaining about things practically every track car has. Low MPG, low clearance etc

[@Schaufelor]

@@michaelchapa7060 true. By the way what he didn´t mention is that the c63 coupe is stiff af, too. With the GT at least it´s a harmonic package and you get a true sports car with the looks to match the performance.

[@SaadiDarvish]

It seems like you need to buy a cadillac , everything you saw wrong with this car was done on purpose by one of the best manufacturers on the planet to give you a sports car feel

[@OM-el6oy]

He said he personally has zero issues with the car but feels these might be issues for others.

[@roostafish961]

Love it. I very nearly bought a GTS. Fantastic machine. Instead I bought a C7 ZO6. I love it too. Heck, I love a lot of cars.

[@portcitytrading6923]

its between a GTS or C8 not sure which one to get

[@billfrancia122]

No matter you say , I love this car and it’s not fir everybody . If you are looking for comfort , don’t buy it . If you are looking for space , don’t buy it . If you are looking for economy and cost savings , don’t buy it ! There are a lot of cheaper , comfortable and spacious car out there if that’s what you are looking for

[@OdO_Gee]

I hope to own one of these one day. Great video man!

😂 bro you need a Prius, fits you, hit a like if people agreed

[@kosmosuniversum4385]

😂 you’re totally right bro, i was just thinking the same! 😂 and he looks like a Prius guy too and vegan 😂😂

[@AMG_Fam]

3:30 I couldn’t agree more. I got a C63s myself and it’s amazing. Great sound, fast, gets looks, etc… I would highly recommend one if you can’t afford a E63s/S63s/GT63s/GT

[@Amgenetics]

C63S is such a great car

[@lightorchestrator]

@@Amgenetics Is it really about as good or better than the AMG GT if you don't care about tracking the car and don't like the sound of backfiring?

[@Pedroalves-bb4kr]

The amg Gt has no room and most people feel cramped in it. The c63s is a more versatile car in my opinion and it’s the same fun.

[@robclarke1063]

He missed the big one.......parking visibility. Having said that, I love mine and won't be changing it .

[@anthonymelchor2285]

Got a 2016 one. Place so far 500 miles in one week and it’s pretty good. One biggest flaw is it’s low and gets a lot to get use to the cars dimensions. Also the rear suspension makes a squeak over bumps that can be heard into the cabin. Ride quality is horrible, definitely not made for everyday City roads. Other than that, it’s actually the best sports car I’ve ever owned

[@lightorchestrator]

Are the bucket sets uncomfortable? In addition to the suspension quality?

[@DironStatonII]

fairly comfortable seats jus have to do some adjustments@@lightorchestrator

[@benjaminanthonycorreia4428]

Anthony how are the maintenance costs?

[@gearzdesign]

Main complaint i see for the gts is transmission issues. They had a recall in them, but people are still having them fall in low mileage. Plus, the ones i keep seeing for sale have like 6-10 owners that throws up some red flags too.

[@russmode]

2016 recall fixed trans, agree on 5+ owners on most all i have looked at?!

[@mattmartin9867]

I want a gts for my next car when I’m done with the cla45 but there’s something about the c63s I love 16-18’ is the raw sound. Imo I think they sound more rawer compared to every other model even comparing catless to catless

[@bryanwhite3021]

Right there with you kinda, c43 owner and I'm between that year c63 or amg gt. My car is still flawless and awd very useful for me in the winter

[@rbrood267]

True

[@houmandehdashtidmd9078]

Couldn’t agree more with you. Especially the scrape sound when you do your bet to avoid steep decline driveways ..

[@bigalsplanesimplegarage4288]

Great car! But i think i will keep my V12 bi-turbo SL for now.

[@tharbf9755]

Owned it for 4 years and what a beautiful drive.

[@adrian_2586]

I’ve had two Amg gt’s . Great cars. You need a regular E class to be more comfortable.

[@timothyroman1129]

The problem with getting a c63 over this is in 5-10 years time c63 value will tank significantly more than the amg. So that money your saving at first isn't really worth it. Or u can just buy the amg gt used for like 80k lol

[@blackfoxmp5]

I'm totally satisfied with my GLC 43 with Red Star 200 cell downpipes, TCU tune, and stage 2 tune. Plenty of storage and power for my needs. The Viper matte green wrap with front splitter and rear spoiler turns heads. But I'd love to have an AMG GTR for a 2nd car some day lol. Can't wait to see you get that Black Series hood!

[@Amgenetics]

Debating the hood still! Feel like it might be slightly overkill but we’ll see

[@Ezaan0801]

Any vids of the sound!?

[@blackfoxmp5]

@Ezaan Babar Eurocharged St. Louis posted the installation on Instagram and revved it a few times

[@robbyrobinson392]

I have a 2016 and never had a problem I also daily mine and drive it very hard so ig i’m just lucky😅

[@robbyrobinson392]

also as for gas yes it goes quick but I usually keep all my settings in Individual mode on race except for traction. In the city I get 15-17mpg on the highway I get 20/21. I have no clue what it would get in comfort tho

[@autodigitvlogs]

​@@robbyrobinson392 not far off some lower liter cars. V6 would be around 30-35 on highway but add turbos itll drink more

[@dealerslicenseops]

The big one is fuel efficiency. I am getting about 9 mpg total in my 2016 with barely any miles on it. Just picked it up two weeks ago, already have a leak in my driveway. I am anticipating bringing vaseline to the repair shop with me monday morning.

[@sublimegt500]

So what did the leak end up being? I'm considering getting a 16 gt s(with 11k miles on it)

[@dealerslicenseops]

@@sublimegt500 UPDATE: It was the spoiler that was leaking into my trunk. Some a-s backed into it and didn't leave a note. Had the bumper repaired, but when they opened the hatch water poured down, like several gallons. So I had to get a new spoiler mount/mechanism, was a few grand.

[@Pedroalves-bb4kr]

The only thing the AMG GTS has better than The C63 is Design, I have an Amg C63s edition one, and it has all the space I need it’s has 4 seats and a decent size trunk. I’d love to have a Amg Gt but don’t know if it’s worth paying more to lose everything just for a cooler design.

[@Amgenetics]

AMG GT has a better chassis than the C63 so it’s not just for looks/cooler design. GT is a much better track car if that’s what you’re into

[@Pedroalves-bb4kr]

@ I know, I would buy it if I could afford tracking it often, that’s why I say the c is a more versatile vehicle for most buyers.

[@jacemoezinia8764]

Debating trading my weekend car, a 15’ CLS 63 S with 47,000 miles in for 16’ GTS with 50,000 miles. I live in ny & aside from AWD im wondering if ill regret getting a gts in terms of reliability & ride quality. The cls has been very reliable, just needing regular oil changes.

[@Amgenetics]

As long as the car is clean and you stay on top of maintenance, you should be good!

[@stm4930]

The MPG you get 12 stick and 8 tuned. Plus the tank is small so you have to fill up all the time. I’ve had a 911 it got 18MPG. This things eats gas like my Lamborghini. You’re going on a date and you have to fill up beforehand. The. Fill up after.

[@shidevil01]

Rubbish. Got mates in high 20’s mpg and low 30’s.

[@shidevil01]

The kids small and shoved right up against the steering wheel. I’m 6”2 and felt fine in it. My seats back so my arms can move and overall have more room than him.

[@charliestafford9978]

I think you’re missing the point (s)

[@robertwilliam5527]

Bro got world record video title to get as many views as possible 😂

[@raicerx]

Sorry but I didn't see anything in this review that makes me question the owning the car.

[@Leo-fk9ch]

Cylinder sleeve scoring is a huge issue with the 4.0 biturbo. Once it starts, the cylinder and pistons destroy each other. You’d never know it by sound or drive ability. You see it in the oil filter, metal particles. Suspension issues are also common, at $6,000 a corner it can get frustrating. Like all MB products, they eat brakes as well. I owned a GT-R for a year on lease. One month in the shop under warranty to replace a fuel related issue, injection lines were developing vapor lock. I’d start and drive and when engine got to temp, if I shut it off it would start in a cripple mode. You’d be lucky to get to 50 mph. I turned it in and instead bought a C8 Z06. $70,000 less and twice the beast.

[@Amgenetics]

I’ve never heard of any of these issues you mentioned and I’ve been surrounded by the 4.0 engine for years on end. No suspension, engine, or fuel issues. I’ve had mine for 20,000 miles and don’t have these issues either. As for the brakes (normal steel brakes), I’m about to replace them for the first time, and that’s including heavy track days. They would’ve easily lasted to 30,000 miles without being replaced. Like all brands, some cars will have complications though. I think you just got unlucky with your GTR. C8 is a great car too

[@SojuBroju]

The ride isn’t that stiff dude. You’re being super dramatic or you just drive on terrible streets all the time

[@arishabani5419]

The guy and gts just doesn’t go together lol just give the car to me 😂

[@Thsyfer__]

Very similar 2 my F type these issues just come with these type of cars if ur buying them so in my opinion theses arent even issues at all

[@dealerslicenseops]

If you are a guy in your 20's and 30's not married no kids you would be a fool not to get this car if you can afford it. Panty dropper. Women love it, it screams WINNER! Hordes of teenagers at a buccees surrounded my car before i got out. People approach me constantly and i get tons of compliments. I have owned M cars, a mint 1987 E30, Z4 tricked out, tricked out gladiator, you name it and this car gets more attention than all of them combined. The gas mileage is just freakin ridiculous. Even driving in comfort mode and conservative there is no way this car is 16/22. Absolutely no way. I didn't buy it for "good" gas mileage, but it is indeed annoying to have to go to the gas station 5x a week to fill up.

[@jimsmith9912]

Try driving a Lotus. Great cars but worse on all counts. Still, I love both the Lotus and the AMG GT. Sweet.

[@mikemccormick8115]

Its a one off race car, so don’t talk about ride comfort. Its also a Mercedes so don’t talk about reliability.

Hey thx for making yourself accessible. I wanted to get your opinion on tuning my 2019 C43. Eurocharge has a great price. If I have issues then I’ll have to get the CPC which is way more expensive. Your thoughts on the Stage 1 or 2 tune?

[@Amgenetics]

2019 C43 will need a CPC tune regardless! Stage 1 and stage 2 tunes will need it.

[@Follow_YAHusha]

@@Amgenetics you stated your tune cost you around $1400 (I think). That’s just the ECU tune and the CPC tune is an additional 2K. If that’s the case, the tune is almost 3.5K. Also, can the AMG Performance Exhaust handle a Stage2 tune? Where can I purchase an unlocked My Genius Handheld Tuner?

[@Follow_YAHusha]

@@Amgenetics Okay got it tuned today. It’s a rainy day in Virginia but was able to get thrown back in my seat a couple of times. I do miss my factory loud pops. Not too found of the smaller continuous pops. I like that professional factory sound vs tuned sound. More to follow. Should I purchase the My Genius handheld?

The idea that a kid barely out of his 20's is complaining about his $100K dollar car and one of the greatest examples of automotive engineering in the past 100 years tells you all you need to know about this generation. Zero appreciation for anything.

This is my second Mercedes and I haven’t had any real issues! I believe the opposite. With the production of the pure V8 slowly stopping, I think the value will eventually increase for these AMGs. Anyway, only time will tell

Seeing as this might be mercedes last v8 it will be the opposite. In fact demand for the new hybrid c63 is so low mercedes might bring back the v8
