You seem to reviewing this car like it’s a family car, trunk space or door pockets are not what this car is about.
To start the car in race mode , you have to press the start up button without pressing the brake and then select race mode and then start the engine.
Exactly right I can tell you haven’t owned the car very long!
This guy needs a minivan. He will get enough storage.
Yea I keep thinking that too lol should have bought a minivan 🤦🏻♂️ maybe next time
@@EverydaySupercars I applaud you for taking the unsavory comments in stride. Your video was exactly what I was looking for to make a decision, so much appreciated. Just everyday use, I intend to daily drive so a wanted a real person perspective not a review per se.
I own one of these too. Storage is actually very good for a true sports car. So, I don’t get his gripe. Visibility does have some limitations but again not unusual for a true sports car. I do agree that its not one of the better visibility sports cars. The front end length is a problem parking. I had a Corvette with the front camera and it was a life saver. I am always on edge pulling up to a front end curb to park. But since I know its a very long, I am conservative on pulling forward. On the ride, it is truly a sports car ride. I don’t think he’s being fair since his car is riding on larger rims than factory and it’s been lowered. As for start up, I agree that its great to have the full exhaust at start up. You can make this happen though. Before putting your foot on the brake pedal, hit the start button and that fires up the center console controls. Select the exhaust or ride setting you want and then put your foot on the brake pedal and hit the start button again. It’ll start up and wake up the neighbors like you wanted it to. I don’t get the gripe with the seats. They are extremely adjustable and have lumbar air supports etc. i love my GTS. It’s a head turner. It’s a beast of a performer. I smile every time I get in it and even when I get out of it, I smile just looking at it as I walk away from it.
Hi, you've got some good points there. I was curious about the fuel economy. How is it on this car???
I just bought one and I love it ,for 30 years I used to own different Porsche
No space in a super car? What else, the sun is to bright for you?
Yes sometimes the sun is a little too bright. :)
It’s a sports car !!! I’m sure there’s room in the glove box for your tampons !🤣
Nah too small for that too lol
This is the dumbest review.
Not enough storage - it’s a sports car
Visibility - it’s a sports car
It starts in comfort and it’s too quiet - it’s an emissions thing.
Ride isn’t great - it’s a sports car, you made it worse by lowering, thin tires and the wheels.
Seats are uncomfortable - it’s a sports car
Aww you didnt like my review on MY CAR? 🤣
Very nice to want to wake up your neighbours in the morning with a loud sound.....
Just bought mine, coming from r8, i8, Cayman, Porsche macan, maserati,..... this car has been my best car
Most definitely...i think this car is kinda of underrated sometimes.
???? Hold on... you didnt know about luggage space, visibility, ride comfort prior to purchase?? Did you seriously spend 80k+ without any research?
Did you just film this video to make a video or you are really concerned about not having a huge trunk in a $100k sports car?
Hey buddy! Thanks for watching the video. But I made the video to show some of my dislikes with the car. Like i mentioned in the video that these are very minor to the upside of the car. Hey people have dislikes even in million dollar hypercars lol But i like to make videos showcasing that even these types of cars have some flaws. My purpose is to give a complete and honest review on supercars.
It's a GT. Grand Tourer. It's supposed to have space for a few bags, so all in all, fair points.
@Everyday Supercars
Regarding dislike #3, the startup.
It is incorrect that you can only start in Comfort mode.
I own this car, you can start it in any mode you want, including Sport+ or Race mode which will both start with the exhaust flaps open.
Here is the procedure:
1. Enter car
2. With your foot NOT on the brake pedal, press the start engine button twice.
3. Select your desired mode. Note that the mode button will only be lit after pressing the start engine button twice.
4. Put foot on brake, press start engine button and the car will start in the mode you selected.
Hope this helps!
Yes now someone else left that message and his then i have been using this method lol thank you. I wish mercedes would advertised this feature haha
@@EverydaySupercars I agree, Mercedes documentation is lacking in detail.
To get a louder exhaust start-up, try putting the vehicle in accessory mode (press the start button without your foot on the brake) to turn all the electronics on, without the engine being on.
Then press the exhaust button on the center counsel. Since all the electronics are turned on, the exhaust valves will open up. (if the valves don't open, try pressing the start button twice without foot on the brake. And then press the exhaust valve button)
Once the valves are open, just start up the car like normal by putting your foot on the brake and pressing the start button to turn the engine on. This should allow for a louder start-up since the valves are already open! Even though the vehicle is starting up in comfort mode, the exhaust valves are open like they would be in sport+ mode.
Hope that helps!
I plan on getting an AMG GTS as my next car. Thanks for the awesome content. Love the videos, keep up the great work!
Thank you Shiv! Yea I did not know about this. I tried it but for some reason it sounds even quieter with emotion start.
You might have to hold on the up shift when you start.
The reason the car always starts in comfort by default is likely because of an emissions and sound regulation loophole that existed before 2019 in which manufacturers were able to get away with crazy exhaust notes due to the decibels being measured at the setting in which the car started up in and not the highest setting: Race mode.
Hmm interesting!
People often mention lack of visibility. Truthfully none of them sit in proper position like lateral g force doesn’t exist
You actually can cold start with valves open, hust open the ignition firt without starting the engine and manually switch to sport mode
I am about to decide to buy an amg gts 2016 year and I have seen many videos and opinions about it, I love how it looks aesthetically and its engine, but your video took me out of many doubts, it would be my only car therefore I am almost decided to buy a panamera 2017 turbo full black sport pack! Thanks for your review
A Panamera Turbo is a great car. For me the things that I didnt like were very small compared to the things I love about the car. This car is a great daily. For me, I would prefer this over a Porsche. I made a video on the things I love check it out here: ruclips.net/video/3OXNEgFz0DU/видео.html
It’s a sport car, it’s not meant to store other goods.
A small travel bag
Wallet and a nice pair of sunglasses
That's the one I'm looking at as well. 2016 to 2018
You bought track sport car all the issues you have is because you clearly didn't know what you were buying. That's not a gram touring car definitely not a daily driver.
You are right should have consulted you before buying lol Its a long distance sports car and you can actually daily it which a lot of people do. I daily mine as well. The GTR is the track focused version which again some people daily. But all love thanks for watching the video.
I own a conversation AMG GT myself and I only drive it on the weekend. Benz claim it's a daily driver but hell no it's not and I don't know who would
How’s the reliability?
Great video! 🏁
Got my ‘17 GTS about a month ago and love it. I traded a 997.1 on it and haven’t missed it at all.
Was it a major process to lower your car? I’ve been thinking about doing same to mine.
Also, what wing to you have? That’s the size I’ve been kinda looking for👀🏁
Its a great car! I actually bought my car like that and the lowered stance if what sold me on the car. You should def do it because it really gives a even more aggressive look. For the wing, mine is the edition 1 package so the wing wing came from factory!
In Europe Cars have to start in Confort no matter If you turned ist of in s+ 2 seconds abo
very funny how the comments are :) It is a European car, that might be less suitable for US driving. It is a supercar. It would be strange to expect a huge trunk and thick comfy seats :)
Thank you! Exactly my point.
The firmness of the seats is a valid point, as that can be changed without altering the purpose of the car, though too fluffy seating will likely offend others. Sports cars, by definition, have poorer visibility at the helm and less cargo space.
Correct. These are very minimal compared to the upsides.
I'm a bit late to the party, but how can the seats be improved? I know there are comfort seats for the GT, but these sport seats look 10x times better.
The seat is the only thing that concerns me with buying this car, and if that can be fixed, in case I don't like them stock, that'd be a huge help.
I’m glad I viewed the video to the end, because I was furious of your complaints and thinking, “why the hell did this guy even buy this car?” But in the end, you actually like this car. This car is awesome, and every dislike you mentioned is true, but people who have issue of what you complained about, probably should not buy a car like this. This car and any car like this is made for true super car enthusiasts, only. If you want comfort, storage, and ground clearance, buy a sedan or SUV. If you want excellent handling coupled with and a powerful responsive engine, this is the car to own.
Thank you for watching the video Felton! This car is amazing and exactly what i wanted. My dislikes were for someone who might not be aware of these issues and was in the market for one. In my videos I want to give the good and the bad on the car I talk about. Once again thanks for supporting and watching the video ✊🏽
I am a small Chanel too but great job keep it up 👍🏾
Thank you🙏🏼
If you have the car in sports plus and turn it off the next day when you start it, it will growl
Appreciate the vid, Everyday Supercars. Complaints aside, however, isn't this a matter of wrong for right car, I wonder. Anyone who has ever enjoyed the AMG GT isn't concerned about trunk space, likely wouldn't lower the vehicle, and could choose among seat options. Marcus Rotaru has the right tip about dramatic start-ups on cold mornings.
This is a fare review, my buddy just bought this car and I got to drive it this weekend. The seats don’t do it for me either and the suspension is stiff even in comfort mode. Also the tranny is good but not Porsche PDK good down shifts are a bit slower. The steering is also does not have the feedback that a hydraulic system should have.
Man yall are crazy i drove the amg gts and i love it, no problems at all its a sports car for crying out loud, even benzman liked it and he a luxury guy, but the car is a head turner and just too sexy to not have it, but if its not your cup a tea i guess sell it like you said, but the road presence is way better than a porsche to me
I have many doubts in which to buy, amg gts o panamera turbo I am a young person and I want adrenaline and something to have fun with and above all that looks good, but I would also like to take trips and I think that I have everything in one Panamera - Comfort, motor power, aesthetics and technology, the truth is I have a mess with myself and I have to decide in January 🙈
Amg gt63s🥵
SMH, I have a S550 for my daily drive. If I want to cruise, I will take my AMG GT roadster.
good observations and great review. But the dislikes are from people being frustrated that you bought a amg gt class expecting any type of practicality. It's the most track focused car from mercedes benz. even more so that the sls. Theres nothing wrong since you clarified this is your personal reasons for selling the gt, but it is indeed pretty irrelevant to the majority of owners/ future owners of cars of this class.
Hey thank you so much for watching the video. Completely agree that this is what is expected out of these cars. The dislikes were a personal thing and also speaking a lot of GT owners they say the same thing on a few dislikes. And like I mentioned at the end this should not hinder anyone from buying this car. Also not selling the car its here to stay for a long time!
@@EverydaySupercars haha yea. Its to be expected from internet, including people like me. I've been looking for great deals on 2016-2018 gt, any advises on which options I should look out for? such as ones that are really worth having, CPO vs dealers, or just tips in general as a person who went through this process.
I think i would recommend the edition one because you do get full carbon fiber roof and full Alcantara interior, if you are looking for options. Normal GT i was looking are pretty standard but all depends on your preference. Also get it from a reputable dealer and i would get some type of warranty because AMG engine are not to be moody sometimes lol
@@EverydaySupercars definitely saving this. thank you :)
I don't understand people. The car you bought is not a daily vehicle, it's a race car you don't buy a gts to say God I wish the suspension was softer and the seats were more comfortable... lol
Dude - dodge caravan is exactly what you need. I own a GTC and your reasons for disliking is absolutely absurd. Please get away from Benz’s- obviously not for you.
Perhaps he has not driven Ferrari, Lambo, Audi, McClaren when considering interior space? In a nutshell, he bought the wrong car for his preferences. You can get an upgrade providing cushier ride. Unsure why visibility is an issue as again, most 2 seaters, convertibles excepted, have limitations. Lowering the car increases need for care and this applies to ALL vehicles. Saw a Top Gear where they had to get planks put across the exit for the Ferrari to exit the underground parking (gosh I miss those guys!). I have a 2017 GTS, no mods, and it is a classic design and, mark my word, will increase in price dramatically at some point.
People buying this car as a third or fourth car, so who cares about the storage?
Should not have lowered this car…
As someone who daily drives a GTS I get the drawbacks. Nonetheless, its still amazing. Brown Boys winning!!!!!
Eyy! Yes and that is what I was trying to show in the video that the car is amazing but still has some drawbacks. Glad you saw that unlike some lol
for space you have to get SUV
Bro you are not looking for a sport car you are looking for a crossover
Lol no no i was looking for a sports car 👍🏼
Then that’s what you get with a lowers car on spring don’t complain about the main characteristics of a sport car no room 2 seats low
"Storage"??? For a sport car?????? Duh. Please review minivan if u looking for storage
Thank you for the suggestion 🙏🏼 but i thought this qualified for a minivan 🤔
I think the perfect car for u is a E63
You're bored.. This not a family car. Long hood... Try s65L... Turn on car without hitting the brake and switch to s+
Get the GT 63 4-door.
It’s a comfortable car man stop hating on the poor thing #amg
Haha It is man but gotta people the honest truth.
Come on.... the storage in the back is much more bigger as an 911. When you use the mesh in the back you can easy take ab big travel luggage in.
Hold down the left paddle when starting the car and you will hear some nice COUGHING.
Have not tried that. Will test it out thanks.
@@EverydaySupercars worked? :-)
This did not work for me.
@@EverydaySupercars Maybe it's the right one? Other youtubers can do it on their gt's.
Nice Video. Thank you
Thank you
Buddy has only 363 subs and has to buy a new car for new content. Parting words he needs to dis the car he previously raved about.
This car is not meant to carry stuff
But what if i want to carry my golf clubs lol
Silly review. This is sport car, you review it as a family car. Dude, go get yourself a volvo and stop talk shit abt a great GT!
Haha volvo is not bad either. But if you saw the end i did mention that these issue are very small compared to the overall experience of the car lol i didnt know i was talking shit 🤫
Lies detected, push the on botton twice, dont put your foot on the break. Turn to s+ , no put your foot on the break and now hold the start button to start in s+
Yes I learned that trick after the video haha
@@EverydaySupercars took me a minute when I first got mine as well. I'm having the interior upholstery customized to give a Ferrari racing feel, I'm also adding Gel to the seats to make it more comfortable. total upgrade $2600. You might want to look into that.
Bro. You clearly no a sport car or super car guy
Go head and get you. Toyota prius. For comfort and storage
You have a sports car, wtf? By a Volvo
1st world problems
lol he paid n bought it , stay with a jeep kid u better off lol
I have a jeep too lol how’d you know?
@@EverydaySupercars cause i can see u like to waste your money lol. Everyone is laughing at this vid n u lol
See thats thing about having your own money you can buy what you want but Im glad I can put a smile your face ❤️
U rite u made us all laugh n smile lol
