I never comment on youtube, but with all the negativity online I wanted to counter that, and compliment you on an awesome review. For unscripted, while driving commentary and review I think your among the best in the business and getting better all the time. So many automotive you tubers are painful to watch that I rarely make it through, and some of the bigger budget stuff is so scripted I don't feel like I'm getting a complete and honest review. Anyways, keep doing what you do, we appreciate it.
Ryan Cole right on!! So true, it is hard to get through most other reviews. Its routine for me to watch these videos each day lol gets a "like" regardless.
I’m late with this, but I wanted to thank you. After originally seeing your review of the S63 Cab two years ago, I went hunting. Took your advice on depreciation and found an 18 month old car with 5000 miles for $120000. It might as well have been brand new, but 100K less. It has been the most amazing car I’ve ever owned. Big thanks for your review
@@CylinderHeadE60 I just bought a coupe for 90k Canadian. Half price off original isn't so bad . Doubt they will hit 50k as Benz is no longer making s class coupes
Traveling, shooting video, editing video, keeping up with tons of fan submissions, working deals with manufactures and businesses....? And I'd say highly likely working far more than a standard 40 hour work week. That's "work hard".
If you need to have someone define "Hard work" for you then you have probably never worked hard. Matt and the smoking tire crew spend alot of time making sure we get 4 one takes a week. There is alot more going on then just filming there cars. And all of this to produce content that i believe dont make much of a profit. This is one form of hard work.
Owning a S65 AMG I know how great this car is! And I know how Matt must have felt during his drive in traffic and what not .... this car is nothing but pure joy to have/own/drive ...except the costs tho...insurance, gas, service, parts, etc etc.... but all that is forgotten once you step on it and you feel the kick in the back, the grunt, the torque, doing 190 mph.....
Sebastian Lindenthal Yes, Brabus is the most exclusive one but I've seen some of them driving S63 AMGs, maybe it's because of the economical difficulties felt around the whole world or I don't know, but since I while AMGs are good enough for them. Even the mob isn't the same like it was, huh? :D
what about Mansory? I heard they are even more "elite" than Brabus. Those peeps will also expect you to pay something like 450 000 euros for a fully tuned S65/63 Coup or even Sedan.
Anthony Abelardo I dont know, I am rather asking. Though their salons are super hardcore customized and they also work on basicly tuning exotic supercars that already have default prices like 600k. That is why I am asking.
The biggest testament to the quality of this car is how quietly you're speaking and even at speed, your voice is crystal clear without raising your voice. Incredible vehicle; great video, Matt!
Hard top would make this thing go from 0-60 in 5 seconds. Heavy af. Top down all of the time in this thing and if the weather doesn't allow for it I just wouldn't drive it that day.
Jvst Dame Media yea on small cars like the slk ot the new slc or the sl... but not on a s coupe.. just look at the 4 series hardtop cabrio.. looks hideous
Not usually into these luxury type of cars, I am more of a bargain performance kind of guy. That being said this is one phenomenal car and for the first time I understand the premium in price that you pay for luxury. Great review, stunning car.
Another great One Take! You always seem to cover the things I'm curious about that others never mention. The details about the transmission, the massage seats and what it's like to park and maneuver in tight spaces. I hope Ferrari sends you a GTC4Lusso, I'd love to hear your thoughts on one of those.
Awesome, looking forward to both videos! I bet the 488 Spider was amazing, I saw the pics on your Instagram and that blue is stunning. Anyway, thanks for the reply!
I got a chance to spend some time with the S63 AMG Coupe so time ago and it really left me speechless. At the time I was driving a lot of luxury and exotic cars for work and like Matt, I didn't want to give it back. If the car I'd driven had been convertible, I would have felt even worse about handing it back. Those dynamic seats are just incredible, the magic body control, the adaptive cruise with emergency braking, those screens, the Swarovski crystals... I don't know... Mercedes have set the bar so high with this car, everything else just seems mundane afterwards. Great review.
***** I'm sure one day you will realize I have humor, and to have a fool that thinks one has no humor from my previous statement alone is not a good test, today could be that day however for you.
The S-Class coupe and convertible have such presence on the road...I love 'em. The new C-Class coupe looks like a baby one of these (although not nearly as nicely finished/proportioned)...MBZ's current styling trend is spot-on IMO.
Thank you for all the hard work and reviews over the years! This AMG is a spectacular example of technology and design, crazy how far they have taken things... a long way from my W203 C55 AMG, love for the old and new.
The way dude is talking about the car is like an Italian man telling you how ''Orecchiette with raw tomato sauce'' is made. That's how you know dude is really in love with this S63 cabriolet....i swear he would've swapped his wife and children for that car if permitted
Yes you do! But look at it this way: You are not 70 years old with the need to show everbody that the thing between your legs which is just as small as your hands actually still works if you swallow enough blue pills.
My old cheap corolla rewards me in many ways. Of course there is the reward of dependable motoring all year around. But the main one is not having to go away from home unless I want to.
Matt, I feel like the vert is more appropriate than the coupe for this car. I'm not a huge fan of the style of the coupe for some reason but with the top down holy cow does it look like an elegant cruiser, lovely.
That is really nice executive motor. I am a big fan of the coupe, but in the right location the convertible just makes it perfect cruiser. Just effortless driving across europe or the states.
@TheSmokingTire I did over 1000 miles in the new E class in 1 day a mostly on motorway I can't praise enough the merc advance cruise control. You need to learn how to use it to your advantage. It takes time to get it right but once you do it is so rewarding. I did constant 160km/h day/night, rain/dry without any problem. You just put one hand on the steering wheel and once in a while you shake it little bit, not enough it will affect your direction but enough the system know you still hold the wheel. Some time you need put some input when lines are not clear etc, but after while you will learn to predict when the car will need your help or when not. The car did 99% of steering for me for whole journey. It was amazing experience.
Production question: I've noticed that sometimes the road lines and other objects through the windshield camera don't always look great. Jagged road lines, jerky motion and perhaps a less clear image (yes, I know the windscreen). What could be done to improve upon the forward-looking video capture and rendering? BTW, I love these videos and I try to turn off my ad blocking software when able to support them. The content, commentary, characters, cars and scenery make for a very fun 15 - 20 minutes.
14:45 6yrs later you can find one for around 65k with 60k or less, good prediction I’d say, I’m lookin to get one with my dad and they still look amazing
that's Angeles Crest Highway. Right about 6:15, he passes the turnoff onto Upper Big Tujunga, which is another great canyon road in the Los Angeles mountains
Just want to add my 2 cents worth, i really enjoyed your narration, the driving, covering the features, and your qualified opinions..All in the right amounts. Just subscribed ! So tired of those youngins with balls yet to fall, attempt to do a car review with a language that only a teen can relate to and excessive time focussed on the shinny bits of the car.. Well done to you !
Did anyone else jump in and notice the steering wheel blocking their view of the gauge cluster? Just wondering if a shorter person will have the same issue.
I love this car but the coupe with it's huge moon roof is enough sky for me. When you take the top off you lose all of those beautiful lines the coupe had. It looks like a longer C Class convertible whereas the coupe has distinction.
NikoBell12 oh man I pulled up next to a C class convertible with the AMG styling pack, and it was shockingly close. From more than 50 feet away the two cars are all but identical. That bugged me. Then I turned the massage seat back on and forgot.
when u have any car With More torque than HP that just means that the low end power is amazing and the top end is just as phenomenal!..... By the way great video badass call f****** love it love the car actually I always love 2000 S500 Mercedes-Benz.... TO me I love that big boat with that 5.0 engine LOL but there is not very many More left in good shape at all and the one's that are are Worth the extra money BUT it's always to much for ME!!!!! LoL..... thanks again for your badass video!!!!
+TheSmokingTire, Great work on explaining many things in detail as usual. It would be nice if you could give massive details of these things on the track too racing hard. Cruising is great and all but usually, a lot of cars that are new perform the same when driving at a bit more than highway speeds in curvy roads. How they perform on the track is where the real separation is at, feel and sound wise.
I have a serious question what would be the better buy 2015 16 s63 amg or bentley continental gt v8 2013 14 I plan on trading it for a 458 spyder 2015 in 3 years. I guess the real question which car would hold the most value. For a trade for the 458...

TrashedVids there is no crew. It's just me. I shoot, edit, upload and manage 4 videos a week by myself.
Even more credit to you then.
Love the way you described the car at the beginning. A reward car is definitely what that is
AMG 63's are the best sounding best driving cars i have ever had the joy of driving

I had a S550 coupe 4matic and drove it back and fourth to Vegas from LA it was the perfect touring car hands down!
A true GT car. Comfortable, refined and fast.
It's a reward car for those who really work hard or Russian gangsters :)) It's definietly an O.G. car
Sebastian Lindenthal Yes, Brabus is the most exclusive one but I've seen some of them driving S63 AMGs, maybe it's because of the economical difficulties felt around the whole world or I don't know, but since I while AMGs are good enough for them. Even the mob isn't the same like it was, huh? :D
idk, no matter how much you can think, after you strategy on how to think it's far easier than any manual labor job as a career imo
what about Mansory? I heard they are even more "elite" than Brabus. Those peeps will also expect you to pay something like 450 000 euros for a fully tuned S65/63 Coup or even Sedan.
Maglev Hey, I think most people have no idea but if you've heard they are more "elite" than Brabus then most likely they are but can you find out why?

Came back 5 years later to say, Matt you are correct; it is the Greatest ~$50k used steal because of depreciation
Shouldve been a hardtop vert.. Soft top makes it look dated
Jvst Dame Media You look dated
Jvst Dame Media hardtop looks ugly
Hard top would make this thing go from 0-60 in 5 seconds. Heavy af. Top down all of the time in this thing and if the weather doesn't allow for it I just wouldn't drive it that day.

Lololol
Lol
I couldn't even afford one of the seats in that car...
Matthias Schmitt lmao
Matthias Schmitt who needs seats when you can take them out for Weight reduction bruh
because your life is meant elsewhere...
Thank you for a great presentation, Matt!
In 4 years this will be a $75k car, thank you very much... lol!!
and?
Tim Tursonoff Pointless comment. The people who buy this only want new models. Once it's no longer new it's no longer relevant.
Tim Tursonoff its 120k now,depreciates 25% a year which is great
I think anyone watching this video is totally sold on this AMG. Very passionate matt
I never heard Matt talk about a car like that....I thought he was gonna cry cause it was so good.
Matt, I am a very hard working drug dealer. Do I deserve one of these?
Yes!
john m pharmacists do, at least in the uk
john m don't ask questions. Just say yes
***** Last time I checked, American pharmacists earn around $80,000 a year on the low end, and about $115,000 on the high end.
Pretty damn good.

Both the ONE TAKE and Ignition were next to each other, I picked One take!!
Nice review. In my opinion the S Class Coupe is the best luxury coupe regardless of the MSRP when new or the depreciation rate when used.
The way dude is talking about the car is like an Italian man telling you how ''Orecchiette with raw tomato sauce'' is made. That's how you know dude is really in love with this S63 cabriolet....i swear he would've swapped his wife and children for that car if permitted
The audio is much better on this video compared to your older videos, your voice isn't being drowned out by engine noises.
One of the best overall cars of all time!
You know he's enjoying those seats when he forgets what he was talking about lol "oh right, comparisons" 😏 great vid Matt
do the seat have the happy ending massage program?
s63 coupe is one of my dream cars of the moment.
Matt farah, i bet you thought youd never have "it doesnt drive itself" as a criteria when reviewing a car when you first started youtube
Z33NY true that.
That is a sweet, really classy car.
I think i'm in love with the road and the view than the car.
Man, luxury cars are beginning to be on a whole new level.
God, I wish I had roads like these where I live.
What a gorgeous machine
Definitely a luxury car. Whenever I see cars like these it either a "soccer mom" or old geezer. Whatever floats your boat.
I sat in one of these and my whole perspective of luxury change, this level of confert feels like home
beautiful car

1:03 - Can we address the seats?
That was a "lovely" One Take!
the massage took your speed down imediatly :)
This car from the outside lacks panache for the price...but the interior is what I need!! Fantastic review as usual Matt.
Rolls Royce is double the cost of this car so I would hope so. :) A comparably priced Bentley Continental Convertible has the panache expected.
Because its a bentley*
Driven the regular coupe....the seats were amazing and the bolsters are much faster (like you said) than previous models. Power is very good.
My old cheap corolla rewards me in many ways. Of course there is the reward of dependable motoring all year around. But the main one is not having to go away from home unless I want to.

Mo Sheik I had the roof down a bunch. But like I said I can't put the roof down with the camera case in the trunk
WHERE DO I GET THOSE SUNGLASSES!!!!!!?????? That matte finish on the lens is SICK!
The signed name plate on the engine cover, is that the person who assembled it?
why was there a snow plow, dont see any snow
Albert Charron they use them to clear gravel off the road
Would’ve loved to see an SL63 review at some point. Do you feel similarly about it?
Production question: I've noticed that sometimes the road lines and other objects through the windshield camera don't always look great. Jagged road lines, jerky motion and perhaps a less clear image (yes, I know the windscreen). What could be done to improve upon the forward-looking video capture and rendering?

I should have caveated that I am not up to speed on the small go-pro style cameras used in these types of "takes."
Is there sufficient sound isolation with that soft top to still live up to the s class name?
Burkedaman yes and the interior layer of the top is suede!

Lol matt at the end was about to say ''This will be the greatest 50000 dollar car that no one ever bought'' haha, nice recovery.

you should change the red of the intro graphics for the red color of the seats , it looks amazing
were is that road? looks pretty nice with good views

How does this car compare to the BMW M6? Both are BIG GTs convertibles or coupes.
