Wait what. 12 L / 100km is bad for u?? are u insane? Its a 600hp car mate
Marvin B +1
LoL! I owned e90 330i and that drink 10-11 L on daily work drive.
It had ecu tune and that supposed to make it less thirsty eaven... So 12L is absolutely fine on car like this!
My C220d (a 170hp boring wagon) averages 9L/100km, sometimes in the city 11L/100km and im OK with it. For an E63 with that power 12L/100km it is fenomenal, it is not much at all.
I think he's a Prius fan-boy.... gtfo.... My S65 AMG drinks 17L/100km and this guy is bitching about 12L.... dickhead, it's a V8, what'd you expect???
+mikealanzo u aint got a s65 u dumbass, stop bragging about other people's lifes, u scammer piece of shit
“Really aggressive air con" no one has ever said anything gayer.
😂😂
He’s gay asf
The agressive air con is an advantage if you left the car in the sun. I don't get Sam.
As someone who owns one...the air con can and will startle the hell out of you sometimes upon start up. It senses on really warm days and will go into full blast mode right off the bat with the driver doing nothing more than starting the vehicle.
@@break_it_bill u have an e63?
The more you stop at the fuel station, the more tescos you’re gonna visit, the happier the kids are, so it delivers its purpose as a family car
Can’t figure out onboard tech, blames the car.
Test drives a 600HP V8 car, expects more than 20mpg on highway.
Are you new to the car world? 🤨
fr, if you want fuel economy dont get an amg
Having owned one of these cars for the grand total of a week (long story) I can actually understand where he is coming from. I have previously owned a tuned F80 M3 and that was positively frugal compared to this thing. It is literally so bad on fuel it might as well have a hole drilled in the fuel tank. The infotainment is really clunky and confusing to use - the iDrive in BMW is a lot slicker. I still have a hankering to get another one based on how amazing it was to drive and that massive v8 and noise but I don't know! It is possible to get semi acceptable MPG out of it but that would involve driving at the most pedestrian speeds it becomes pointless. Hmm!
Consider a V12 Ferrari, blame the fuel efficiency of a V8 AMG... logic
LD #22 still doesn’t explain the fuel efficiency logic though, does it ?
My friends E63S did a quarter of a tank in 4 laps of Bedford... Ha, crazy.
Skip to 9:00 for the title
Bet you're fun at parties.
Your the real MVP
watching the first 8:59 just for you my guy
Thanks bud
Jay Hoonz No one cares that you’re wasting ur life
BMW paid him to make this video.
While your away for the year, might as well get Ivan into a shop for that beastly engine swap for its transformation into a beast ;)
Solid camera work as usual. Just sad you skipped the F50. =(
and the periscopa
Buying a new car:
Normal guy- 3-4 Test drives
RUclipsr : 10 cars, 1 week each, 1081248 miles, 100 videos.
Why I won’t be watching another video from this channel...I came for the AMG wagon man, not to hear you drone on at a Ferrari garage. Fool me once😑
Why not a Lexus LC500?
I sat in one of those at the weekend. Beautiful car in person.
Winner
GSF ;), 4 doors, big boot, same engine, but good to see a fellow appreciator!
Hey Sam, considered any of the Q.V. models Alfa offer??
they brake like crazy got 2 friends haveing the QV.. and it is nightmare. sadly. because once it works one of the best cars ever
Alfa’s go in the shop for repairs and never come back out lol.
ASAP Z that’s just the old Alfa’s..... the new ones are very reliable
Guus Berkhof 100% false
I've done 14k miles in my QF, not missed a beat...are you guys nuts? Yeah they are awful, please dont buy and let me be ultra exclusive in the best car in it's price range for years.
Luckily there are a lot of other choices he has left! 🙌🏼😊
Supercars4u the Audi RS6 Avant is better than this car in everything.
Yeah I agree with you, but Sam said he doesn't really like the RS6, So yeah don't think it's gonna be the RS6
Problem is the RS6 is soon to be replaced, so no point buying one now as the replacement is out next year!!
Tepp thats a good point as well!
@@user-zm7de9fc9x see yourself out mate. The E63 is in every concevable way better. Don't agree? Go on Chris Harris insta as he has an E63 on test and says the RS6 has been dethroned as the E63 is better in every way dynamically.
About the MPG on the E63, I have one myself and on a motorway, in comfort mode, I can get 40 MPG, this includes the cheeky acceleration from time to time. you probably had the Auto start stop off. with it on the engine essentially becomes a four-cylinder and saves a load of petrol.
Your average over a drive is 40mpg? Nah dont think so
@@mitchellsteindler - Totally agree. 40mpg my arse
regardless, 20mpg is totally fine. my jag gets maybe 19mpg and i can go almost 400miles on a tank. ive had cars that get like 8-12 mpg, so 20mpg in a twin turbo V8 station wagon seems pretty awesome to me.
@@mbp1505 Well unlike you guys, he actually HAS the car. So stfu pls.
@@ibtixgaming7168 How do you know what car I've got ?
I've never hit a guy with glasses.
I find baseball bats to be a lot more efficient.
😂
P.S the title content is at 9:00
Also, basically the E63s is perfect. It’s just too expensive for Sam and Archie, Incase anyone is wondering. It’s for people with money who don’t worry as much about fuel as these young self made guys do.
You need to film at Simon Furlong every week, he would fit so well on the channel. The way you chat with other people regularly make this channel really special
sad to see this thing get rejected, what a beast of a machine tho
I think you're right about the age thing. I wouldn't have been attracted to this in my 20s, or early 30s (nor could I have afforded it then) but now I'm 40 and have two kids and a dog, as a petrolhead this car seems like perfection. I mean the mileage is pants, but that's what happens with that degree of performance. I love my Audi S6 Avant, but this is the perfect upgrade (and thankfully I don't do a ton of mileage).
4 years on, and just stumbled on my own comment. Still keen on the e63s. In fact I'm pondering one very closely right now!
What do you mean??? You can put this into ECO Mode which will deactivate 4 cylinders and run with 4 cylinders which will use less fuel!!
You could do that in a small city.
Here in Texas that thing is tiny compared to even a Tacoma
This car is very capable and would do well for your trip and that is the problem, it is too capable! It will suit your needs and give you no problems (except the fuel usage) and will therefor make for a very boring trip, no different than hundreds of other travel vlogs out there.
You will want something unique that piques the interest of viewers as well as people you meet along the way. Something that will make people smile and want to talk to you.
I said it before, you need a classic (a real 70's classic, not a 90's car). Something that will make you feel like you actually accomplished something when your trip is done.
What about a Pagani Zonda Chinque?
The guy showing you round the garage was awesome, really natural and funny. Would love to see more of him on the channel!
Surely the obvious choice for a round the world car would be a 2CV. Got the reliability, got the ride height and can be fixed anywhere in the world. No brainer😉👍
Sam, you have beyond perfected the inclusion of proper b roll and drone shots. This video just seemed effortlessly brilliant. Thank you, Sam.
Is it me or is Sam morphing in to Kevin McCloud ???
His 360 is his Grand Design 😂😂
Reasons STG is my favorite youtuber:
1. Could have half-arsed a video like this. Never does.
2. Genuine passion and love for cars.
3. Prefers a 360 over a 430, and doesn't give a damn about anones opinion on his dream car.
Mah man.
RS3 hatch is not a bad choice. Not to mention you could modify something to make it that bit more special
In which mode have you driven it mostly, ECO or Sport+? :)
Drive the world is a 4x4 pick up. Ford ranger / Hilux - something thrashable off road, cheap / easy to repair and comfortable on long drives
spyburn007 ford henesey velicoraptor 6x6
Alpina B3/B5
So no M5, RS6 or any V8 in a big car for that matter. So sadly RS4 then....
gamerforever maybe a Gulia Quadrifoglio. V6 turbo
@@luccardi. gulia is to problematic... very unreliable i mean they fucked up electronics. sadly.. the RS5 or RS4 is intresting. choice AWD... will go anywhere... dope interior comfy! and good mpg.
Well he could always go with the C63 S Estate (205 prefaclift), if he wants to stick with the V8.
An Alfa without problems isn't an Alfa
Maciek Jutrzenka only the old ones
Honestly, maybe switch it up and get a WRX STI?
that would be awesome!
Made this comment yesterday. Honestly it's a very logical car for this sort of trip. Wrx even more so with better efficiency and comfort. Most logical of all would be a hybrid toyota/lexus suv.
He just sold his
Yeah how about the new WRX Sti RA?
Reliable, roomy, quite fast and lots of character. The interior might be a dealbreaker for Sam.
Loved the ‘behind the scenes time lapse’ quite interesting to see the stuff behind the camera that no one really normally shows
wrote this on your IG post as well, but I drove the E63 at Mercedes Benz world, and burnt through a tank in an hour. I know it was track use, but that was pretty mental
Sad to hear you won't be going for this car, BUT! I agree with you on the fuel economy. It's 2018 and you should totally be getting more than 20mpg in a family car, even if it is a performance estate.
Prolly the only car RUclipsr apart from Doug DeMuro, Hoovie and Tavarish whom I really find sympathetic all the way.
You have no idea you are paid from competition companies to disgrace such a great car. Shame on you.
Have you thought of the F Pace S? I know you wanted the SVR, but you should test drive the S too.
What about the 43? I’m not sure if they make a wagon, since we never get them where I’m from, but it might be a better choice given the better fuel economy
You literally posted a video yesterday saying “could this be my new car” and today it’s “no”
Geez
My guess is the rs4 is incoming
Maybe you should look at Audi SQ7, because it is fast, comfortable and it has a diesel engine, so you will have a good fuel economy
What do you want with this car in England (speed limit?). Here in Germany, the car certainly makes more sense! One must also not forget: The engine is one of the best ever built and that includes durability.
"NOOOOO! It's 50, slow down!" 😂 9:40
It’s 70
Just get something like a Giulia QV, Bmw M3, C63 sedan (or C43 which sounds very good!)
To be honest, you need something that isn't modern. Too much to go wrong if stuck in the middle of nowhere, as you said with the Ferrari. How about thinking outside the box, such as a Twisted tuned Defender.....
This will not deter me away from the "thirsty" Benz Wagon
How about taking IVAN THE VOLVO?
Vishal Mano nah that series was dull
the "outside passenger wondow looking in" camera angle was pretty cool sam
Sick camera angles!!
I own one- they are fantastic vehicles. If you can afford one, get it!
RS4? But I have feeling it will be a 911.
He actually did go with a 911
Ferrari videos are my favorite.
I understand your preference for the 360 as it was your dream Ferrari from your youth. Unfortunately my youth area dream Ferrari was the 288 GTO...
Discounting a 500bhp car on the basis of economy is a little silly...
Alec Hodgson 612bhp,but yeah,why discard for fuel economy.
Random side note but Sam, have you ever thought about doing an F1 season or race review videos because I know you're a massive F1 fan. Would love to hear your thoughts or do you talk about it on your podcasts?
Hey Sam! I own/daily a 2009 C63 AMG and yeah, the MPG is utter shit 🤣... however it’s been a blessing having that car, I’ve absolutely fallen in love with it over the last two years I’ve owned it (put around 45K miles on in those two years, just hit 100K overall miles). For that reason I feel like yes, the MPG is horrible but AMGs are the kind of cars that the more miles you rack up, the more you continue to fall in love with it. If you end up choosing the E63S, I can guarantee that you’ll fall in love 😁
That Testarossa was gorgeous.
Take a Giulia Quadrifoglio
Sam get a Bentley conti. or even a spur. I own a Bentley and it has been super reliable over the last 4 years. A good used one has depreciated about as much as they are going to. So you could travel the world in style and be able to sell the thing for almost what you bought it for. Oh and they get good fuel milage to boot! Just my 2 cents. Cheers!
i assume you have a v8?
Should have mentioned that, yes it is a V8 that I have. Although a couple of my buddies that have w12's and get decent milage too if the keep their foot out of it.
Josh Johnson oh i was talking in terms of reliability lol, the w12 sounds awesome, but from what I understand that audi 4.0 is damn near bulletproof.
I can't think that this car was ever a serious contender to a drive around the world. Partly i agree that it's more directed at people older than you, but mostly because you'd have to be a very stupid person to think a big AMG would ever be a reasonable choice for fuel reasons. Pretending it could be is taking the piss.
..as a big practical fun car, for those with FAR more money than sense: The Merc is my favorite choice tbh. BMW lost me a long time ago, and while i sort of like the fast Audis, i would no doubt go for a AMG.
Can you really complain about MPG and fuel costs when you're looking at Ferrari and Porsche? Not to mention that those cars can have $2000 scheduled services, which is simply getting ripped off.
I wish British reviewers would test cars on u.s. roads..I bet their perspective would change on certain cars
I have a 2006 CLS500 and i get 8.4 MPG and still I don’t complain
So, a vid about Ferraris, but with Mercedes E63 in the title?!?
P.S please step up your game with backing music for drive the world. Those epic scenes will deserve some epic tracks
HW N give that man a break he is always trying to improve his content jeez
when you are planning to be on the tour with the car, so forget about Londons width restrictions, maybe even consider a LHD Car
what mode are you driving in on the freeway? I remember reading in comfort whiles crusing half the v8 is shut off for fuel savings
There is one thing you have to do before entering in portugal, please fill up the gas thank in spain, because the price of gasoline in portugal is astronomic!
It is expensive but every spent penny is worth it!
"I don't like this car because I don't know how to use cruise control and 20mpg is bad." How is 20mpg even remotely bad for a 640bhp car? Also it's too big? It's a larger car but it's still smaller than any SUV in the states.
Hi Sam, why don't u try the pre facelifted C63s Wagon?
What a weird argument to make. Testing a supercar and dissing it because of... Fuel economy? Really?
Mine averages 29.7 on most days, over 36 on a run, 18-21 knocking about. For a car with this BHP it’s simply amazing and stunning. You must have had an issue with yours caus it’s simply not the case.
And I’ve done 10k in 2 months
I wonder if the guys at AV engineering have spent more time inside the 360 than Sam.
Why not go with something a bit... crappy? Like a 2001 V6 citroen C5 for instance
If you can’t afford the gas, why even look at a car in this price range?
He specifically mentions less than 20mpg (12 l/100km) despite doing 2 big MOTORWAY drives. (Although, an audi rs6 will only give you 18mpg in motorway, despite cylinder shutdown)
I get his point. On motorway heavy drives my c63 averages 9 liters. On commutes without motorways and some traffic i am at 13ish.
So i get his point.
Always a good day when it comes a new STG video.
Would love a tech video.
Just to see what cameras, microphones, brackets, software and these things you use.
Glad you´re not getting a E63S though.
A bit boring design in my opinion.
Can't wait to see what you drive next.
Keep up the good work.
People who buy an $120,000 plus Mercedes I really doubt or they shouldn't care about the price of gas.
Sam! How could you not say anything about the F50 in front of the EB110?!
Not gonna lie, that side camera angle is dope
I don’t even understand how you were considering an FF for your trip? If you’re doing 60k miles then I don’t think any ferrari has done that many miles!
Not an SUV or Wagon, but a Quattroporte GTS would be awesome for a long trip
Why aren't the new podcasts on Spotify? Was so nice to have them there
Not just a Delorean, a Back to the Future replica, nice.
if you are worrying about the cruise control and the fuel economy this isn't the car for you
So wild to see that specific enzo in a random video I'm watching on youtube, that's one of my friend's dad's cars, had to do a double take when i saw the plate
I think the 430 is my all time favourite, never considered owning one though..
Sam you previously mentioned that you're also looking into second hand cars? If so, why not get the pre-facelifted C63 S Estate? It's still a very nice car, RWD, practical, plenty of space, not too big like the RS6/E63 S and sounds great too.
Daniel Sadjadian they drive like a track car, gets annoying for everyday & the sound is only bearable after a week as you cant turn it off! E63 much better imo. This geezer complaining about a amg and fuel makes no sense lol
He made a mistake of choosing the estate for test drive. He clearly doesn't need estate if he is considering 911 as well.
Its a video in a video. INCEPTION
I don’t get why you don’t like the RS6. It’s perfect.
Fuel economy, Porsche Macan: ruclips.net/video/MWtYUU8n1wc/видео.html
Panamera for the drive the world
As a Ferrarista, even thinking of considering an AMG should be considered treason!
I find it so unfair how you spend so much time and effort producing quality videos whereas you get others literally doing nothing about in car parks (underground) with the same amount of views.
Get a VolksWagen Beetle. That would be perfect for your roadtrip
