As soon as I saw the notification I clicked. I feel like Mercedes has lost its way with over design and small pot turbo hybrid engines. However, this E53 AMG actually looks pretty good.
The weight without driver is 2315 KG according to their website, around 5090 burger pounds. The Pilot Sport 4s is a pretty loud tire in wide configurations, I suggest a different, less sporty tire will take a lot of road noise away.
@ well they did update the PS4s to be fair, hence the oem spec of the tire. And even after all those years it‘s still a pretty good tire. Problem is that the PSS5 is just as loud if not more, but I believe handles weight less good.
From what I understand, there was the Chris Steakhouse in New Orleans. Then a lady named Ruth bought it, added her name to the title (maybe to show a 'under new management but keeping the old good traditions' vibe). The name is terrible, but sticks in your brain memorable...
12:08 Wow this car made him accidentally swear, thats a rare sight. Merc finally doing some good things in this new generation

I don't know any YT channel near the (well-deserved) success of Throttle House which spends even remotely as much time worrying about which sub-channel or format or whatever a particular video sorts under. They're great videos and I watch them all, regardless if you post them as Throttle House Express, Thomas & Hjames, Extra Turbo ThrottelHouse TDI or whatever.
Hot dang I'm early. I just wanted to really thank you guys and the team for the videos. I feel I've grown with your channel since covid and the passion you guys put into the videos is virtually unmatched. Only Savagegeese gets close to you being able to relay the raw emotions from some of the cars enthusiasts look for. Thank you!
According to the German website, the EU model weighs around 2.390kg/ 5.269lbs (empty). I suspect that the weight for other markets will not differ greatly.
I saw the E class last year in Essen Germany it was the T model or Wagon whatever you want to call it and its such an elegant look. Sadly couldn’t test drive it so i’ve been waiting on an in depth review. Hopefully it’ll match the previous gen E class!
Thank you for reviewing this car lol, I've been waiting months for a review where this thing actually gets driven properly and the review is driver focused.
Ruth bought a steak house called “Chris’s steak house”. Of course she needed people to know it’s hers now, but didn’t want to confuse people about who was running it. So instead she just chose to confuse future generations with a double possessive name. Nice AMG
My concern with the heavy boosted 4 and 6 bangers is long term. Like the 2015 CVTs that are experiencing issues, my worry is that these (and any other small displacement boosted 4cyl) won't last long before requiring a full rebuild. Being inline, this may be ok.
@@jhfreeman Yeah, that's not a surefire good thing. And remember: Were the emissions/CAFE landscape what it was 15 years ago, this trim would be a non-AMG V8 (like an E500) - and that's better than this.
Looking at how well BMW B58's have held up over the years even with tuning, I'm not too worried about this either. People tune the previous-gen 53's without many issues so they hold power just fine. The inline-4's maybe though. I'm more worried about the tech around the motor than the motor itself.
It looks soo much better inside with that wooden inlay instead of this glassy-fingerprint LCD displays all over. We need buttons/knobs back on the steering wheel (through all models) too, and for the love of god, just ingegrate with sunshade the driver's display
Got mine here in Finland last day of year 2024 :) Went without the dark chrome as I like the normal chrome and the style of sporty mixed with business style, if that makes sense as a description. I I feel that with the white colors the dark chrome/etc just doesnt as look as good as the normal chrome. Also the exhaust tips blends with the rest of the car and becomes invisible. Also the rims I got are the silver version of this videos 21 inch rims so have to wait for the winter to be over before I can get to test the car with them. It is my first Mercedes and it is also my first poweful car. It is sad that the highest end AMG here in Finland are simply just so expensive that I do not want to spend that much money on a car. The reason this was "cheaper" and within my price range is the fact that it is a hybrid. The tax portion of the price was only around 4,1k€. (starting price with tax is already 121k€) To compare for example the AMG GT 4 door 43 models taves are already something like 60k€ while the 63 models are about 90k€ Not too fond of the EU regulations either that are bringing the exhaust sounds down. I was looking at a C43 years ago and I feel they were louder on idle than this car is while revving. Taking it slow in the winter and at the start now. Cant wait for spring/summer to come :)
1:54 You guys could have just looked at the badge they put on the door sil on the drivers side. The owners manual (online available) in this gen E-class does not say the specific weights either. (but it even tells you that the tyre compressor weighs 3.6kg or how heavy certain childseats are) But it says the specific weights of the car are on said badge. So you had it right next to you the whole time. ;-) And at 3:00 James even looks at the badge (or close to it)
You can option all season tires for free with 20 in rims, and the noise and heat insulating glass in exclusive trim or wtv it’s called. Much better in terms of road noise and suspension. Sport seats r nice but normal seats look js as good and way more comfortable
@11:00 - stuck behind an Altima ay? Usually its the other way around; Altimae usually fly up from behind at 114 mph on a temp'ry spare, and begin draftin' ya 1" from your rear end.
Perfectly said, even down to the temporary spare. Just add some plasti dip that is falling off the remaining wheels, and some dented up taped on bumpers....
@@prometheus6847 considering I live in the US, if I went that fast in public, I'd go to prison. The fastest I've seen someone going relative to the speed limit was 65 in a 25 (that's 105kph in a 40kph zone for reference).
Listen, I’m not purposely a bmw fan boy, but from a base 10 year old 328i, to a brand new x5m, they just drive better than anything. They just do. The ride, the steering, the comfort, the interior’s quality feel, the heads up display, I mean everything just comes together so good to bring you; The Ultimate Driving Experience. That saying is not a lie. Every time I get in any other car, it may feel nice, but it’s never a BMW.
It's completely different. Love the M4, but no bmw feels as luxurious as my S class. And until this current generation BMW interiors were lacking. they've always been great handling cars especially if you're a spirited driver, but that type of driving and stiff suspension isn't for everyone or every road. If you have 0 interest in spirited driving, like my old father, bmw simply doesn't feel as nice to drive
I'm impressed by your hard work, and for providing us with awesome car videos to watch, but enough of all the Mercedes models already, and I'm not sure how many of us watching can afford $105,000!
@@bluebomber697 I get it, I'm Canadian and I've been watching since the beginning. However, I used to like the brand new versions vs the older much cheaper versions of the same car, comparisons. I think that reviewing the Mercedes brand, with all of them looking alike, is boring. Sure they're fast and heavy, but that, to me is not the definition of a sports car. Porsche yes, as I used to own a 997, but every week I see the guys standing in front of a Mercedes. Come on, let's do something else for a change. What happened to some of the off road stuff you used to do? Except for the review of the Land Cruiser, which I enjoyed immensely, there hasn't been much. I guess at 62, I'm looking for more substance than flash. I still drive Porsche's and BMW's at the track BTW, so I'm no slouch behind the wheel, in case you think I have old man syndrome.
@@InfiniteSuccessAcademyThey can only review the cars that come out lol. Porsche doesn’t have a wide variety of models and don’t have new releases very often. Mercedes just refreshed their entire lineup over the last year so they’ve got lots of new cars. In their last 17 videos there has been 2 Porsche reviews and BMW has been in 5 so it’s not like they aren’t getting coverage.
I was today old when i learned the name Ruth's Chris Steak House comes from the name of the restaurant's founder, Ruth Fertel, and the name of the restaurant it was originally called, Chris Steak House. Awesome review as always Lads.
Almost. The chrome black accents are a different hue compared the piano black elements in the interior or the black side window strips. They are not as dark and shimmer a little.
Fun video! Did anyone else notice the yellow stitches on the passenger seat already start to frail? Also, great seat belt color, but I think it will be tough to keep clean?
You know what would be really fun to watch y’all do? A blind review series. Hear me out. Both James and Thomas are unaware of the car the team/sponsor has picked out. They are driven blindfolded, or in some funny manner, to the location of the vehicle, then they blindly review it (not literally, although that would be funny. Like a guess the make of the vehicle blindfolded 😂). That would be a fun watch!
Given all the ridiculously over -designed cars that are being produced these days, that Merc actually looks “normal”. It looks like a car that was released 10 years ago and has had a mild facelift. Genuinely good job Mercedes!
You could always option the E53 with the stock wheels, its really quiet when you want it to be, and it still looks nice IMO. Also, the tires you were on looked a but harshly used, especially the fronts. You could go for something less sporty, and I bet it would be better. The new E class is generally very soft and quiet, much more S class like than before. I cant say I have driven the E53 a lot, but the tiny bit I have, it feels too soft for my liking.
I've a non-insignificant bet that Extra Throttle House starts producing full length seminars for all of the self-help anon groups TH has highlighted over the years (Alfa Romeo owners club, etc). Hedge bet it becomes a personal project-car blogging channel for the whole TH crew. But I'm confident in my main bet.
I used to work there. It was a popular restaurant in Louisiana named Chris Steakhouse. When Ruth bought it from old owner she combined both names and RUTH'S CHRIS STEAKHOUSE was born.
Oh, I had always thought Ruth was "doing it wrong" when she dropped the apostrophe from Chris' steakhouse... But no, it was _ALWAYS_ wrong. Thank you for that clarification.
The original name was Chris’s Steakhouse (in Louisiana I think). It was bought by a person named Ruth. In order to keep the clientele from the pre purchase time it was renamed Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.
From Ruth's Chris website: "When a kitchen fire destroyed Chris Steak House in 1976, Ruth was forced to relocate her business, but the Chris Steak House name wasn't allowed to come along. Short on time, Ruth improvised, adding her own name to the sign. That made it “Ruth's Chris Steak House” and our legendary name was born."
nice i'm one of the first 800 to watch the video! keep it going boys! You guys are a bug inspiration and lots of fun to watch! You're Thomas & James & i'm Isaiah 😂
The only problem with the e53 is that it does not come with air suspension, which was ultimately the reason why my dad decided to get a Panamera 4 e hybrid. In terms of comfort there are worlds between those 2 cars, even though they are not so different in other aspects
E class used to be my favorite Merc. It had presence on the road with great interior and was just large enough for everyday use. Now it just looks like a glorified CLA with chintzy interior.
I had a W212 for a few years. It was a fabulous car. Super comfortable and good mpg for long road trips, yet agile enough to be thrown around on nice curvy roads. Interior was simple but had high quality materials and feel. Just an excellent car all the way around.
@@ThinkfreeorDie Looks are all down to personal preference...personally, I love the look of it, you don't and that's completely fine. I guarantee there will also be cars that you think look incredible when I think that they would look terrible. There are some cars that the vast majority of people will look at and agree that it looks good or bad, but in the end, it doesn't matter what other people think as long as you think it looks good
Ruth’s Chris Steak House history from Wikipedia: The sales agreement with Matulich prevented her from using the original name at any other address, so she named the new restaurant Ruth's Chris Steak House in order to keep some continuity with the previous location.[15] She admitted later to Fortune Magazine that "I've always hated the name, but we've always managed to work around it."[16]
Thomas: "that's what's _wrong_ with Mercedes!"
Mercedes: "Say that again, please."
Seems like Mercedes is getting angry
Mercedes: "Say that to my face. I dare you"
yea, that sounded like a threat.

The Pilot Sport 4s is a pretty loud tire in wide configurations, I suggest a different, less sporty tire will take a lot of road noise away.
Surprising to see they still put on these dinosaurs from the factory, instead of new s5.

PS4 is far, far from noisy and is spec on a multitude of luxury sport sedans. I call bullshit on this argument. My PS4 M40i says so.
Finally the answer of what happens when you ask mercedes to mix classic AMG styling with a storm trooper helmet.
Hey, at least you know it'll be the safest vehicle on the road, considering it *can't* hit shit. 😂
I think the k5 looks more storm trooper
Ruth's Chris has put my brain in a pretzel for like 20 years too. Thanks gents!
I always just remember: Ruth owns Chris’ Streak House. So is Ruth’s, Chris’ Steak House.
From what I understand, there was the Chris Steakhouse in New Orleans. Then a lady named Ruth bought it, added her name to the title (maybe to show a 'under new management but keeping the old good traditions' vibe). The name is terrible, but sticks in your brain memorable...
At least you don't have to worry about being SHOT like at Peter Luger.
Ruth bought it from Chris. so, Chris' steak house is now Ruth's....not Chris'.
The AMG E53 might just be my favourite Mercedes E Class ever. It looks like a Stormtrooper!
The amount of takes Thomas must have done 😅 2:21
Every time I see a new AMG review, I cross my fingers hoping there’s a shred of the old AMG brand somewhere in there that will keep me faithful.
I hate that so many people have recorded or held meetings in cars that Mercedes implemented a camera just for that reason 😂

The tire pressures on the B pillar are max load rating. Normal load pressures are inside the gas door.
I wanted this review to be ruthless.
We miss the old Throttle House format with the skits and all but great vid🔥🔥🔥
I wish the main focus for cars wasn’t just jamming as much tech in it as possible.
It is a beautiful car!
Glad they got one of these right.
Remember when the W204 C63 Edition 507 introduced the ‘Edition’ lower sill stickers? I still can’t work out if I’m into it after all these years.
Under bit of the seat is called the squab.
This car is lovely, hope we get a 63 down the line like the CLE is going to get
Isn't the weight listed on the door trim tag ?
Cris is the type of preparation of the steak done at 1800F for 30 seconds or so.
It’s describing how the steak is cooked.
The only problem with the e53 is that it does not come with air suspension, which was ultimately the reason why my dad decided to get a Panamera 4 e hybrid. In terms of comfort there are worlds between those 2 cars, even though they are not so different in other aspects
I def see some eqs front end design language but it looks good
Thomas "I don't mind that" X 67!
Dis is clean ekse
E class used to be my favorite Merc. It had presence on the road with great interior and was just large enough for everyday use. Now it just looks like a glorified CLA with chintzy interior.
I was so confused when they said it looks good. I wondered if we were looking at the same car.
This looks like a CLA, I most definitely need to get my eyes checked
Aren't all of the Mercedes like this nowadays?
I had a W212 for a few years. It was a fabulous car. Super comfortable and good mpg for long road trips, yet agile enough to be thrown around on nice curvy roads. Interior was simple but had high quality materials and feel. Just an excellent car all the way around.
@@ThinkfreeorDie Looks are all down to personal preference...personally, I love the look of it, you don't and that's completely fine. I guarantee there will also be cars that you think look incredible when I think that they would look terrible. There are some cars that the vast majority of people will look at and agree that it looks good or bad, but in the end, it doesn't matter what other people think as long as you think it looks good
Ruth’s Chris Steak House history from Wikipedia:
The sales agreement with Matulich prevented her from using the original name at any other address, so she named the new restaurant Ruth's Chris Steak House in order to keep some continuity with the previous location.[15] She admitted later to Fortune Magazine that "I've always hated the name, but we've always managed to work around it."[16]
I am a Mercedes fan. I like what they are trying to do. Noty every car is 100 percent but i think Mercedes is doing it the best IMO.
