Love that car
101% true,sayng a CL500 2002 owner till more then 12 years,and even today absolutely no cars keeps with me on autoband

So enjoyable to see these early 2000s shots of London
Reminds me of when I was a kid, my father has an old mercedes
Look enjoying to remember the gone old days
Yeah it was a shitshow back then, haha don't get too excited.

@@porschet5898 but back then having a car like that, you're a rich mehn.
Just bought a 2006 S430 4matic I'm extremely happy with this automobile the S Class W 220 I think are the best of the Mercedes thank you for posting
Love my 2006 Lexus LS430 bro never getting rid of mines 😎 congrats on your S430
Actually, it's considered to be the worst S model.
Mercedes tried to cut costs after the over engineered 126 and 140, the 220 was the result.
Cliff Baxter and?? They’re still great cars.
@@thatmatty231guy So is my 2006 Lexus LS430 😎
@@theodoreyoung8777 Yeah Lexus is great - not Mercedes level IMO but very nice - my grandfather has a GS350 which is isn't close to an LS but still very nice.
Quentin Willson about LS430 voice guide: SHUT UP WOMAN
Meanwhile Jeremy Clarkson about S600 voice guide: Now listen WOMAN! when I speak to you!
Thank you very much for uploading this video! I was waiting for the facelift video of the w220. Please more. 💪🏼👍🏼
Certainly an epic automobile.I have a 2005 and I can't believe how many different things it does
Ive owned about 9 S class w220 models and they are absolutely my favourite car ever made 1999-2005 what an amazing car
Which models ? I've had 2005 320cdi for 8 months 11/k miles great car
I’m tryna be like you my boy I got a S430 rn but I want like all of the USDM models ngl 😂
You don't like the 2006 W220..... why'd you stop at 2005????
I love the posh music they're playing in the background. It just makes this car more luxurious lol
20:28 Ironically, most of the luxury car brands followed and introduced their own version of iDrive in the following years...
And BMW refined theirs to the point that it is now one of the better ones.
3:42 "BMW 7 in a package, which isn't yet understood in this marketplace". Nice remark from a Mercedes-salesman, totally honest in this kind of video.
I do think the E65 is a future classic, while this W220 isn't as good as you would expect.
Nice video though!
Just seeing the last bit: So what Quentin is saying the E65 was a leap into the future, and I do think that journalists don't use a car for a few weeks and getting used with another kind of thinking.. But the exterior was indeed not the nicest...
ruclips.net/video/OwPYDERhiOU/видео.html bmw 7 series ad I had on vhs
The E65 is literally one of the worst BMWs ever made...quite far from a future classic. It's notorious for having a unintuitive and primitive version of idrive and also for just being catostrophically unreliable. Watch Hoovies...he junked two of them (a 760 and Alpina). Don't get me wrong I like BMWs and am a big E38 fan but I've never heard anyone say this about the E65...today a true German piece of junk imo.
@@IvyLeagueCars Maybe you're right. But what I see is always the high-end versions going wrong, but in my neighborhood the more mundane versions (735i and 730d's) are still going strong. These aren't optioned to the hill, so less to go wrong..
E65 is an absolute mess, had headgasket failure as soon as I got mine. It was an absolute mess so I settled for an S65 W220. Only issue I've had over the years was a leak from the seal for the accumulator, which I fixed myself for 5$
Thanks for uploading this video. PLEASE CAN WE HAVE A VIDEO OF THE MERCEDES BENZ C230 KOMPRESSOR (W202)? Thank you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
As this is for RHD market, the S400cdi V8 Twin Turbo Diesel was never made in RHD. I love mine.
OMG!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!! Now I know you are reading my comments 😂 this is my car!!
Wow really?
Nice video 20 years ago made, nice way of describing and talking about cars. One thing can be certain, time revealed the truth and since BMW iDrive, 110% of carmakers adopted a jog on the middle tunnel which controls a screen standing above the air vents. The fact that it was dangerous to control iDrive, it's complete nonsense when you look at Mercedes back then, where you couldn't do much without lifting your back towards the screen. Much more attention you had to spend controlling the systems in Mercedes than in the BMW. And I'm a Mercedes fan, I actually love that S-class generation, I have Mercedes too. About Lexus? Lexus has proven they aren't for this market, the 2021 Lexus it's the same stupidity inside like in the early 2000s. Thanks for the video!
in my opinion the best car u can drive, w220 s-class😀
The 1998 till late 02 S class are the worth moneypits you can buy. They RUST like crazy. And electronic gremlins are also present. I have owned 3 off them. Engines and transmissions are bulletproof though. I now own a 03 S500 and never had any serious problems. Except a vacuum pump and a air shock.
My 03 even has some rust on the driver's side rear fender wheel arch. Nowhere else though, but it _is_ rather disappointing. I've had mine for 5 years now, but I don't drive it often, only on road trips and in the winter.
I haven't had anything serious go wrong with mine either. I've had to replace 2 relays and the secondary air pump that burned out because one of the aforementioned relays stuck in the closed position.
I've also had to fix 2 LED lights inside, that burned out (door handles). So far it's been easy to service myself. I do all the oil changes and parts replacement thus far.
Finally i can afford it..old model of course
They're dirt cheap and relatively easy to work on.
Awesome! Thanks for the upload 😁😁🥰🥰
BECAUSE ITS ENGINEERED LIKE NO OTHER CAR IN THE WORLD!
MERCEDES CL C215 CAN YOU MAKE A RELEASE
I always prefer facelifts cars which in many manufacturers resolve lots of issues that has been in pre model.
‘I’m on my THIRD LEXUS LS400’
Did he seriously just question Lexus quality based on smashing around a storage compartment door
In the sake of advertisment, these people tried to fool us.
He's a knob, not unlike Clarkson.
It’s obvious that Lexus and BMW were tripping over themselves to try and topple the W220 S-Class, but all they managed to do was create freaky looking tacky clones.
Yeah they both look alike, and I will buy both new models before the year runs out.
to be fair they took away ~50% of the market share
@@Jmjdit really?
@@lewishamalexander1275 Wikipedia has the year by year sales figures for the various S Classes. Between W126 and W220 they lost about 50%.
@@Jmjdit so that continues as the years goes by too?
Quentin!! He did a supercar video (Mustang boss, Diablo, Ferrari 456 4 seater, etc). If anyone can provide info or link, would be very appreciated.
18:14 🖤
My mans did not just put this s class over a bentley and a rolls royce
Especially when Maybach existed at the same time which was a Rolls and Bentley competitor 😂
I had 2 of these
that's great now put steering on left side !!
The Lexus is having the last laugh here; of all the vehicles in these shots, it’s the one that is still taxed, on the road with a current MOT approaching 150k miles.
21:00 Palpatin evil smile 😅
I am Merc fan but on this occasion I would pick the Lexus over the Merc.
What lexus model do you like most?
I own a 2006 Lexus LS430 never getting rid of mines it’s a 💎 😎

@@theodoreyoung8777 is nice, good decision, you can still add more to the one you have if you have the money.
@@lewishamalexander1275 Thanx bro but most likely going to keep it stock with these cars their made for pure luxury and changing that to me will take away some of those great qualities and smoothness that’s buttery smooth and whisper quiet of a engine and drive experience 😎
...and the LS430 still is better at overall reliability and resale value lol!! Great vid!!
And why do you say so, do you have one ?
🤝
Its cheaply made...
But it's not a Mercedes is it.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH lol love this comment 😂
Is it just me or does the W220 have 2 less fans than the W140?
??/
I'm a fan but not of the W140, so it has at least 1 more fan. Don't know about 2 more, but probably.
"The cassette deck has now been replaced by a CD Player!" ROFL
This generation signified the end of the over engineering well built Mercedes
That's very okay, and it shows the world is advancing, I'll sure get one this year.
@@lewishamalexander1275 yes me too tho I already bought one last year. But I still need to get a new one this year
@@lewishamalexander1275 No it's not. The old Merc from 80s/90s reliable and some 80s Merc are still around today. Modern Merc have plastic in engine, plastic fuel pump. They are only good while in warranty period.
I own a 1999 S320 LWB, a car that one can have an affair with in secret.

Great video. Quentin could have smartened himself up though; he looks a bit too used car dealer here.
Once a car trader always one. From one. Lol
You have to give him props for the 6263 Daytona though...ahead of his time
The Bangelbutt BMW is absolutely hideous!
the last real S klas,what came after a piele of shit

Very odd with all this criticism.
I've heard from many, that the LS430 is a big improvement over the LS400, and even an improvement over the Mercedes W140/W220 models. The LS430 is considered to be the best Lexus ever made, and NO, I don't own any of the LS or Mercedes models, despite my username, but this is all I've heard from other owners of both.
It's considered to be a japanese Rolls-Royce, what do you expect of communication to the driver, really.
Clearly, you're a mercedes guy only, so nothing else works for you.
Nah the Japanese Rolls Royce is the Toyota Century the LS is just the cheaper S class competitor….. and yeah the LS430 is nice but the main drawback was the short wheelbase only whereas W220 in the US is all long wheelbase….
Wait till someone in the Lexus and BMW troll the S Class in their Promo Videos!
All downhill after the 126 and 140.
OK, grandpa.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMHFr imo it kinda went downhill after the W221…… when the numbers on the nameplates didn’t actually equate to the displacement like it used to…. And now there’s no S65 AMG or S600 Either….
The Lexus LS 430 is probably the worst of the LS models. Hideous front with bulging headlights and the rear is trying to to be a copy of the W140. The previous LS 400 or the LS 460 are much better looking cars. As for the BMW E65, I’m wondering how management could approve such an ugly design on such an important car. Again the previous E32 and E 38 were so much nicer cars.
Exactly! My brother had one then.
Wow it's like you really know a lot about cars brother ?
@@johnsonbokamoso5128 Right 😂🤣 I think the 2006 Lexus LS430 are the best looking big body Lexus sedans ever made and I’m not being bias because I own a 2006 Lexus LS430 it’s a pure gem 💎 of car I’m never getting rid of mines bro 😎
Bangle Butt.
Exactly why I bought a W220 because I like all the luxury cars from the 2000s but this just made sense when comparing them all….
W220 interior is definitely not holding up well after all these years.The level of cheapness is mind boggling even on a 55K.
Agreed my Kompressor's seats are beautiful but rather tough. I'll pull some 600 seats and swap other bits over next chance I get. Hopefully a Designo pops up for parts.
Car company made good car but the dealer mass up the car

More that likely that Lexus is still driving around today.
I love the S class but I’d have a Lexus first and foremost
My s500 is still driving today without issues, all depends on how you maintain the car
@@vitaliilozan5925 I wasn’t having a go at the S, I’d love to own one some day
So presumptuous 😂
Yes I guess you like it right?
🙂 Would you have bought one?
@@lewishamalexander1275 No. 🙂
Personally I think the 220 was the lowest point in S-Class history.
Worst Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Really? What model do you like or would you like to buy?
Why do you say so brother ?
Worse than what?
Yes probably the worst S Class but still a pretty good car…. like Doug Demuro said all the other S Classes were great but this was really good…. But I bought it for the 2000s nostalgia ngl cus I grew up when these were new 😂
@johnsonbokamoso5128
W140 that's why
