Stick with Mat for his latest group test, and let us know which one you’d choose in the comments below!

      It's just your own personal taste. The three Germans are all on quite the same level, and therefore you can't say that one of them is "so much better than its rivals". Such an opinion is subjective and one-dimensional, because every car has its own strengths and downsides too.
      And then the Lexus..., well..., I would say it's a completely different thing. The Asians are still copying certain things, like they did in the past, but in general a Lexus is not on the same level as the Germans are. And it's "stupid face" is quite idiotic too, because it's too much going on there with this fugly grill... It almost looks like a caricature or a cartoon car.

    • @snail977

      True. But the problem with the ES is that it's just not as sophisticated as the German cars in this test. With its transverse-engine, front-wheel drive configuration, and CVT transmission, it's basically a Toyota Camry with manually-stitched interiors and larger cup holders. Toyota's bet is that not all drivers would be bothered by this...

    • @lpaulauskas1990

      That is not true - I have compared the specs and Merc is better value for money. Compare ES Takumi with E300 AMG line (petrol) with comfort pack and Merc works out over £1400 cheaper + have more (not less) equipment and better at that e.g. panoramic roof vs. standard sunroof, air suspension vs. adaptive... it is faster etc etc. And just to clarify - I am biased towards Lexus, I drive Lexus myself... however facts are facts. The days when the Lexus "standard equipment" blew even £10k more expensive MB or BMW are long gone. I was kind of surprised with my comparison, but Merc had most equipment for the money, then BMW, then Lexus and Audi works out most expensive if you want to make the all like for like. Other massive issue for Lexus (for me) is lack of choice - single engine, single drivetrain and option list although comparatively quite long is really short compared to freedom of configuration you have on German cars.

      Watching this comparison, you can choose any of these cars, because they have their strenghts and weaknesses. Matt chose the Audi, because it is the best "allrounder". If you want sportier drive - BMW. If you want more comfortable ride - Mercedes. If you want something in the middle - Audi. It's always've been like that.

    You will be be overblown by the smoothness and quietness of the Lexus. It's truly an executive car. Plus it's more durable and reliable than these sugarcoated counterparts.

      Svaka čast! Mamicu mu lažovsku! He’s a liar and biased! And in every single video in last ten years when he compared Audi, Mercedes and BMW in any class, for him Audi is always a winner! And yes he’s a liar when he was speaking about the height and said average Dutch is 1.85 m, on his screen is written ppl from Montenegro and Hercegovina (South East Slavs). I couldn’t believe that he’s talking about Dutch, because I’m a Serbian and as majority of ppl from Serbia, Montenegro, Hercegovina, Croatia, Dalmatia etc, when we go to Netherland, Germany or ANY OTHER Western European country they are not tall at all, but opposite! Yet when we go to France, Italy or Spain they are literally dwarfs comparing to us!

    • @aran5647
      @aran5647 4 года назад

      He's not lying. He just made a mistake by searching up the tallest people in the world on average, instead of THE COUNTRY with on average the tallest people in the world. As a matter of fact, the average height for Dutch people is indeed the tallest in the world out of all the other COUNTRIES. You can search this up on Google btw, the average height is 184.0cm in the Netherlands, which is actually taller than people that live in Serbia, Montenego, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, , but the tallest people in the world indeed live in the DINARIC ALPS (with being 185.6cm on average), but since that's just a region in Herzegovina and Montenegro and not a country, the title of the country with the tallest people in the world goes to the Netherlands, and since Matt was talking about countries and not regions, he's speaking the truth.

    I think the Lexus shouldn’t have been in this comparison. If anything he should have got the GS & not the ES. The ES is basically on a Toyota Camry chassis.
    Not that it matters to me because I love my 540I M sport!

    Has anyone switched from an e-class to the Skoda Superb or vice versa? And what are the pros and cons for each car? And yes, I know that the comparison is weird, but im considering one of them, because of the surprising quality of the Skoda Superb.
