Episode 40. Jonny Smith (@carpervert) and Richard Porter (@sniffpetrol) test the new Mercedes-AMG G 63. Or, as you probably call it, the G-wagen. Edited by James Hankins
Every time Jonny turns around and looks into the GoPro 04:31, I keep feeling a bit of panic that it's my turn to share my thoughts or something...like I'm along for the ride and Jonny is about to ask, "what do you think Joel?" I mean, he's looking right at me! 18:40 lol
Program synopsis: Jonny tries to review the all new G wagon AMG from the passenger seat, using notes on an old light bulb packet, and Richard hoons around with the biggest smile on his face while saying why he can't enjoy the car.
This works so well due to the synergy between these two, brilliant ! Most people who review things like cars tend to be so "gushing", these two have an amusing and quite genuine conversation about ANYTHING including the car.
I know someone who has a couple of old ones. Hes taken the back seats out and uses as a John Deer service van. Amazing seeing a snapon box in the back.
The Bundeswehr used to roll around in the original military wagon, they used it primarily for their Range staff. We used to look at them enviously from the appalling seats in our LR 110's
Do not care for such big cars at all. But some time ago I had a job to do where Mercedes suppplied a new G for driving around that day. Have to admit I liked it a lot and felt like a king arriving at all the sites we visited that day. There is something about that thing.
You should try a 'Golf Country' a Mk.2 Golf 4x4 on raised underpinnings with bush bars front and back and a rear hung spare. Great for Bosnian mountains. I often see early Steyr Puch Gs, SWB or LWB (ex-police spec.) They can last for ever.
Nicely implemented Brexit joke. It's true though, two cups of coffee these days in London is just a euro cheaper than in 2015. 40 minutes. Oh boy. Add commercials and it can go on TV :D.
Wow! That looks nearly as nice as a Suzuki Jimney and almost as cool as my old 1984 Land Rover 110 County Station Wagon. Is the interior leather? Mercedes usually charge extra for vinyl with a posh sounding name. That was standard on a basic 110 but cloth was standard on the County. They can only sell just over 2000 units of these every year. Are you surprised? Most these buyers seem to be drug dealers or Russian gangsters. Nobody buys them because they are nice to drive day to day, that's for sure. The GLS is a far and away superior vehicle unless you are a gangster. Or why not a Bentayga? Or why not a GLS for the relaxing luxury powerful drive plus a Jimney for the twenty minutes a week you want to go back to basics? In that vein, I've kept my 4.2 litre Land Cruiser Amazon for twenty years and now use it for that twenty minutes plus towing a few cows to market when the pickup is otherwise engaged.
Oh and the first version of the G had either a 3.0 five cylinder or a 2.8 six, from memory. I know that the diesel had 88 hp when I decided on the LR110 with the 'new' 2.5 diesel with an 'adequate' 67hp. The 110 had a superior drivetrain though and I was lucky to have a good one that lasted 22 years of really hard work [everything was hard for 67hp and 2.2 tons plus often a 3.5 ton trailer] before generally getting worn out beyond economic repair.
Either these have gone up in value or inflation is running rampant, because for a really low mileage example now you're looking at 225k British Pounds...
20:00. Do you really think, with the electronic complexity and tech obsolescence that happens so quickly, that this tank will still be a sought after vehicle in 15 years. Out of warranty and banned from city streets they are destined to be consigned to museums, as they should have been years ago.
Clearly, you dont know the car. People are importing G wagons all the way from Japan for crazy prices. The fact that you called it a tank is exactly why, 15 years from now, people will still be chasing them, because there's nothing like them.
The big problem i have with these sorts of performance SUVs/4x4s is that the people who drive them actually think they are fast! Sure, that AMG, can, in isolation get from standstill to 60 in 4 secs, but in the real world, even with 536 bhp, it weighs 2.5 tonnes before you get in it, that gives it just 214 bhp per tonne and it has the aerodrag of a barn to the accel tails off dramatically above 60. As a result you find them jamming up the outside lane of motorways, or barging up other drivers tailpipes on A roads, and yet, when the road clears, they completely fail to make any significant progress (usually because the driver is too terrified and the fuel consumption falls from simply terrible to actually horrific...). It's the same with RR SVRs, etc, any even remotely sporty car, like a M3 leaves these things well behind as they corner like an elephant on a skateboard and stop like a sumo wrestler on ice.......... ;-)
Yes, like the Range Rover, these should be effortless but completely relaxing to drive in normal traffic conditions, not sport's cars which are on edge and keep passengers on edge for the next overtaking space all the time. Modern Range Rovers and the V12 Bentayga have the power, the performance and better dynamics for that, but people do not generally drive them like that. They waft along in a relaxing manner no mater what speed on a suitable road and don't try and scramble your guts and get you there in an exhausted state.
I feel like the only sort of person who would buy one of these is a RUclipsr, or else someone desperate for attention and furiously compensating for something. Like I get it, but if you wanted a competent 4x4 luxury car and didn't care about projecting a certain image, you'd just buy a Range Rover or an X5 or something.
It would seem that one influence of driving those "bad boys" wheels is that your language this week seems to have degraded significantly! Every other word is MutherF**ker or F**K !! Next week, can you drive a Rolls and see if you start talking like the queen?? ;-)
Thank god we live in a free country and don’t have to drive what twats like you tell us to drive. Anti SUV twats are worse than vegans for thinking their opinions have more weight than anyone else’s.

Guys, PLEASE go back to doing these, they are absolute genius, brilliant and so so good
"Alan Cantara" mentioned amidst roof rack blanks. Majestic.
“Mercedes! Stop fucking around with Tony Robinson!” 😂
A full fat AMG 40 mins edition .. excellent .. well done .. really enjoyed it ..
Keep 'em coming! Best "talk show" ever!
One of your best videos to date!!
I loved that intro of just pure noises
Great vid. Lots of smiling for someone who is supposedly not enjoying the drive. ;)
This channel is a bloody treat. Extra length? Ooooer missus.
This works so well due to the synergy between these two, brilliant ! Most people who review things like cars tend to be so "gushing", these two have an amusing and quite genuine conversation about ANYTHING including the car.
Great vid chaps, keep it up!
The sound of those doors......is HEAVEN
You need an Inflatable Smith for continuity purposes when you do the exterior shots.
Bellendwagen! Great review. Amazing noises.
another triumph! thanks chaps
Lol Richards eyes say it all when he does the 0-60 tests lol "stupid car!" hehe ,does sound fantastic though :)
The G500 is definitely the way to go (less bling, slightly more realistic pricing). Brilliantly funny as always guys
I know someone who has a couple of old ones. Hes taken the back seats out and uses as a John Deer service van. Amazing seeing a snapon box in the back.
“You stupid car” this is the best episode yet.
That red is a bit late 90's Honda Civic or reminiscent of a
'special' edition Citroen AX's.
Spot on! I had a Fiat Uno that colour
I knew a lad who had a golf gti in that colour, 4 years, 100,000 miles and not serviced once.
Having a bad day, thanks for cheering me up guys!
"Mercedes, stop fucking around with Tony Robinson". hahaahahahah
I own a 2011 and a 2013. They are amazing.

Both of you have an exceptionally cool collection of watches. Not sure if it's commented on much, but it needs to be.
Thanks mate. Love Jonny’s bronze Aquadive in this one. Richard
How does this channel have so few subscribers? Great chat lads.
Still one of the best endings to a video ever in my opinion
Hoping that you guys will make an episode with the new Baby G-Wagon by Suzuki!
Watch this space. We have a plan. Richard
One is very close, the other's far away.
Brilliant, I'm glad to hear that.
I'm Smith, I'm Sniff and we're going' for a drive!
you guys should just live stream haha could watch you two for hours
Agreed. Non amg version in the newest design would be delish.
Great video although it was missing the usual snack stop mind :)
well you've always got to know where your towel is.
shady shane sorry for the inconvenience.
You should try a 'Golf Country' a Mk.2 Golf 4x4 on raised underpinnings with bush bars front and back and a rear hung spare. Great for Bosnian mountains. I often see early Steyr Puch Gs, SWB or LWB (ex-police spec.) They can last for ever.
Excellent sum up x 2 ... “a loving facsimile”... and “Merc have copied themselves..”
"They've re-badged it you fool!"
Cool video! Please post: what type of window mount for the camera do you use in this vid?
You guys are the fucking BEST.
39:50 The moment he describes Jeremy Clarkson perfectly
21:13 "faux alcantara" - how meta! :)
best colour
This is beyond TV,,intelligent nonsense,totally love it
'People with big personalities can also be twats.' On another note, how's Jeremy?
40 minutes though. What a treat.
Nicely implemented Brexit joke.
It's true though, two cups of coffee these days in London is just a euro cheaper than in 2015.
40 minutes. Oh boy. Add commercials and it can go on TV :D.
Alan Cantara.
jesus, let him read the lamp carton !!
Like that you disagree on stuff, Smith hating the thrashing that Sniff is giving it. 40 minutes, of pure great entertainment.
can you make more videos for me about the g63, thanks
The sound track of this thing needs to be recorded for future false EV engine sound!
"There's an MG dealer around here, we just drove past it. That's still not a reason to buy one..."
Is it me or does it look like they are going straight through that building at 3.23 ? Just as Richard was talking about the AMG speed faster package.
The anus shaped dashboard vents seem entirely appropriate for this vehicle.
BTW, this is a great channel!
32:33 Unnecessary MG Slander Jonny!
Was the last line a dig at someone's employer by any chance?
What cameras and mounts do you guys use?
Diffs are doing diffshit
Bloody hell that makes my v8 landy look like a Nissan Leaf
It needs a big diesel motor and long range tanks for it to be relevant to its intended purpose otherwise in G63 spec it’s only suited to show ponies.
Episode 40 was 40 and a bit minutes. That can't be a coincident :)
What was the third thing that didn't change? All I heard was "the headlam--"
goes ok for a phone box
Excellent review. Very loud.
Expensive, Pointless, ostentatious, and it will have the eco nutterists foaming at the mouth. Love it! Long live the glorious V8 g wagon.

Is Smith ever allowed a go...I mean a drive?
Wait, had he lost his licence?
Warp speed in a bank vault.
this or a 2 year old continental?
Ain’t nothin but a “G” thang
A large Jimny? Ha ha ha!
I thought Alan Cantara was a footballer, not a type of interior trim.
Is it Wagen or Wagon?
its just holding it , cos it thinks i might want to drive like a t@t. Classic
I do wish they managed not to cut eachother off so often...
Diffs doing diff “shit”.... Wait, what?
NO karaoke?
That last line had to refer to Clarkson
I promise it didn’t. Richard
@@smithandsniff Hmmm......
If I was walking past, I'd think you two were undercover coppers.
Not in a G wagon obviously.
Or a Nissan figaro.
Or a Ford Mustang.
Etc...
Still not as pricey as a Bentayga and much cooler:)

@@kolokolok . There's no cure for stupid.
They'll sell shed loads of these outhouses in Russia and its satellites.
It is a bit urbo.🙂

Would be nice if Richard would stop interrupting Jonny.
They lost me.... 😴
11:18. '8 mpg'? How is this even legal? Has anybody at Mercedes Benz even heard of climate change?
The ride in these things is atrocious.
It would seem that one influence of driving those "bad boys" wheels is that your language this week seems to have degraded significantly! Every other word is MutherF**ker or F**K !! Next week, can you drive a Rolls and see if you start talking like the queen?? ;-)
They are a stupid pointless car, but I know if I win the lottery I am having one
This is a waste of a king's ransom. I say lease it and throw it back. I'd rather have an electric car.
What a massive waste of money for a massive gas guzzling heap of junk! It’s like buying a £2000 designer handbag. Idiotic!
Mark Gaudie Founder of Northwest England EV Owners actually they fix that problem it’s 20 city 23 high it used to 12city 15 high
Thank god we live in a free country and don’t have to drive what twats like you tell us to drive. Anti SUV twats are worse than vegans for thinking their opinions have more weight than anyone else’s.
