I had one for 6 months (2013) exact same colours and AMG specs as this one. Fabulous car for cruising, posing and touring. Sold it and bought an Aston Martin DB9 - happier now!

[@matthewcoupeofficial]

Complains about the £210 clock! Wonder how much his watch he is wearing set him back!

[@shawnf79]

Is the massage seat an option or standard? My father purchased a 2013 and the seats came with heat and vent as well as neck warmer, but the button to turn on the massage seat doesn't bring up the menu on the screen.

[@pobinr]

Thank heavens for the background music. It makes this video much more exciting than hearing the engine sound 🙄

[@FAT8893]

Now that we are entering 2020, only time will tell.

[@mach1nefan]

Well, Corona changed it up a little.

[@MOTAHOLIC]

'This just isn't a sports car'. Umm, no, no it isn't. What made you think that it was..?

[@FairladyS130]

Because it looks like one?

[@MOTAHOLIC]

@@FairladyS130 Do you think? Bit big for a sportscar, and certainly not what this car is all about. It's a GT car, fast, refined, comfortable and brilliant for doing long journeys in.

[@Mg2SiO4]

Beautiful car.

[@nakmas73]

Jason Plato / Neil Morrisey... same bloke 🤣

[@deltagames3864]

There is also the cheaper SLK or now SLC

[@DonYang73]

Lovely car

[@romper4444]

Really wish you would tested a fuel additive

[@gnerd07]

great review

[@valgehiir]

terrible review, this car is ugly as fuck

[@Dan-wq8id]

You're right, its not a sports car, its a grand tourer

[@Loaf11Two]

If one of the devices was just a green LED light, why did it give a reduced fuel consumption? Surely this should’ve at least been the same as the standard test.

[@romper4444]

I suspect the initial test showed better just as a Dyno run, the first test usually shows the highest hp, engine hasn't heat soaked yet, cooler air going in engine

[@nematode_interface]

Its* Sorry

[@lowtus7]

Prime the airbag?

[@AtheistOrphan]

Was this filmed in 2012?

[@LysergicCasserole95]

Atheist Orphan Yeah, fifth gear has been cancelled, these are from old episodes

[@esteban75lover23]

Tech Smack why was it cancelled

[@foxxyblieu9]

Stephen Isaac think they came back? I’m not too sure

[@LionelM3ssi10]

its*

[@elvislad]

That key position though!!!how can you get past that to buy it!?!

[@lefuedebout]

Much as I enjoy Jason, this is an old video,,, so why re-up it for 2017?

[@Ben_Mayall]

TheMister Mann they can't do new vids because the show was cancelled last year

[@lefuedebout]

That would explain it. But by who or why are the old vids still being up loaded?

[@Ben_Mayall]

I'm not sure

[@lefuedebout]

Okie. Thanks. :-))

[@McBeamer94]

TheMister Mann What's your problem?? BBC does this too, with Clarkson, even though they fired him!! Motorweek does this as well, with their retro section of their YT channel!!

[@AlexxanderOnYoutube]

it actually features keyless go, so buy it instead of sky active control

[@leonardread13]

The only show that drifts in a Bentley. I love it.

[@Nutty-sd6nl]

*its

[@ZacGolus]

This is not the new one.

[@TheShootist]

drives like Clarkson.

[@mghaz]

Is he wearing a PANERAI?

[@advancedwindowandguttercle685]

Yes.....while moaning about a £210 overpriced clock? Submariner comes to mind....

[@Darthadios]

I have always thought that Mercedes specifically *is* that comfortable luxury car. And if you want a sports car, buy something else.

[@edgarramirez9208]

[@Jonathan-ol9zx]

300 hp for 90k?

[@BlitzkriegRap]

Overpriced as fuck, it looks like Mercedes has gave up on their SL.

[@alan24362]

BlitzkriegRap why can’t you afford one?

[@tarekelderbas8934]

Its* ridiculous technology... The "its" here is a possessive pronoun, not an "it is"...

[@keratase1880]

Good presentation but why present an ugly car? I'm a proud owner of an 2003 SL and I'm happy of my current ride

[@keratase1880]

@@ABRAHAMzXtremeGT all have their say anyways

[@ENZEEVIDS]

it's nondescript

[@graemesydney38]

a great car.........if you fancy a blue rinse for yourself or your girl friend.

[@alan24362]

Graeme SYDNEY your just jealous you can’t afford one

[@jasonthorogood]

We're all going electric soon so don't worry about it.

[@spincd]

Your bad driving, Of course its not yours.

[@racqueteer5606]

People who buy these cars don't drive them like brain dead lunatics like the nob end on here 😂

[@steveanderson1779]

The worst review ever, review from a homeless mans point of view. What if you have worked hard all your life or have won the lottery or been lucky in life? Your saying I should buy a Z4 because it’s cheap? Have you looked at the M6 prices lately? No wonder your called fifth gear, it’s the year 2020 and cars have 9 gears and electrics have none.

[@18_rabbit]

ya lost us at 'groovy' which means u made us waste our 6 min's listening to your 'ideas'.

[@eroche913]

The worst Mercedes in a while.

[@bim449]

BMW FOREVER ! This Ugly, Slow, Bad Handling, Overpriced and most importantly Not Dynamic what so ever is Absolutely POINTLESS! It's a luxury Ripoff ! Wanna be Sporty and Dominant buy a BMW

[@valgehiir]

you buy SL63, not this pile of garbage

[@user-hs2hd7wp9g]

No one takes that kind of car to the track anyway, what's the point of having unnecessary stiff suspensions when you're cruising in the city ? MB's interior is way better too, BMWs are really not that well built for that price point. Not to mention that the V6 with a little over 300hp will be more than fast enough for the potential buyers (you could still go with the AMG model).

[@Fearzzy]

Simon Vuille it doesn't have to be stiff enough for a track, but it should be stiff enough to the point that its a fun car on a backroad.

[@bim449]

Totally agree with you!

[@hornypervert3781]

Bogomil Mitkow its a GT car and not a sport light
