It is rear when Mercedes miscalculate their action but R class was one of the biggest mistake . Mercedes did good job of saving themselves out of R calss . - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I had a R500 and now a R350 Diesel. An underrated car that is built like a tank. It is a beast in the snow. I still lust after a R63 though. I have seen a couple around where I live, but nowhere else I have been. A very rare machine indeed.
i saw 3 Rclass in my 10 year career in auto industry
I have an 06 and upgraded it and use it as a backup car. In the Snow it is the funnest vehicle ever! I can’t wait for snow again, safe and predictable!
I have a 2006 R500.
@@BrianSanbornTodayhow did you upgrade it?
@@deepthoughtdeepbreath2383
So I installed full length luggage roof rails, got them on EBay from Asia. I couldn’t find them in North America.
Then I bought the chromed front radiator grill which looks nicer. I got upgraded European brakes from a supplier in Phoenix AZ, and most importantly custom wheels with Michelin SUV sport tires. I’ve learned a lot owning this R350, happy to share if you have any questions?
People always loved the look of our R class!! Best car ever made!!!
very interesting car
I have a 2011 R class what a tank I love it
1. yes there is at least one lover of the R-Class that being me
2. Yes for me the pre Facelift is more beautiful than the facelift
3. this car is amazing it has everything you want in one vehicle and I don’t know why people don’t like the concept of having everything in one car
我也愛R級,目前擁有兩台R350CDI , 一黑一白
I have a 06 Mercedes benz r350 ,I drove several luxury cars including the Lincoln Town car,but this a is a best car ever made by Mercedes benz, luxury comfort safety and technology all in one
Yes, it was not a great seller for MB, but today, they're becoming cult classics. I would drive one now if I could find a good one!
agree ! great car
Former 2011 R-class owner here. The mistake Mercedes made was their weird marketing for the car. IF they had sold is as eg: An S-Class Estate and classed up - it would have sold better. Or just call it a lifted wagon. Some features were barely mentioned - eg: the third row (which were bigger than most third row seats out there today). They tried to invent a class and failed - the car itself was much better than you make out.
I had the BlueTech engine which did have it's share of issues (never left me stranded but lots of niggling problems) but the car itself was great - it even handled well - eg: phenomenal brakes. It also towed like a champ - I pushed the limits of the tow package (my boat on trailer was about 3100 pounds) but it was the best tow vehicle I've owned (vs previous MDX, Highlander Hybrid, and long ago a Toyota SR5 pickup).
It could do anything - TONS of space and cargo capacity, could seat 7 (or 6 adults), tow, got great fuel economy.
Now the negatives - it WAS weird looking. I ad the 2011 that had a much better looking front end - but from certain angles the car looked like a beached whale. With a minor design refresh (eg: Make the roof flatter and have more angles) it could have been a great looking car.
Long post - but if you go onto MB forums and search the R-class, you'll see that the people who loved it far outnumber the actual owners who didn't.
thank you for comment , agree with you sir
I bought my 2008 R350 two wheel drive with 63,000 miles from first owner. I've been driving this car since 2010 and today the mileage is 142654. I changed the motor oil with Mobile 1 synthetic oil, changed tranny oil every 30,000 miles, power steering oil I cnanged once since I bought the car. I flushed the radiator every 30,000 miles. suspension pump is original and I check it anytime I've sericed the tires rotation. Never once it disappointed me or broke down once. I also own 1993 600SEL, 2008 S600, 2011 350 and 1970 280 SE 3.5 cabriolet. Nothing like the Mercedes. Hate my 2010 Bentley Arnage my wife wanted but a piece of glorified junk. Own 2012 Honda Odyssey and it's absolutely satisfying with least amount of expensive maintenance. If I was a middle class working guy I would only buy Toyotas or Hondas. No car in the world matches the reliability, comfort and least amount of costly maintenance. The exception to all the above ae the Russian cars that I drove while I lived there in good old Sovirt Union time!
i respect people who do not save on maintainance! W140 600SEL is a dream car
I have one 2010 and love it. And now, I even find its look very nice.
what engine do you have?
@@snggarageeng 350 Benzine.
I love my 06’ R350. Bought it with 192 just rolled 200k! Bought it not knowing too much of the history, but the last owner put two arnott struts on the back and the owner before that seems to have had a lot of work done in South Carolina new crate motor put in and all lots of service receipts. But I bought the car for $2000 with a faulty fuel pump and leaking a little gas around at the lock ring.
I love this R350 more than any Mercedes Benz and felt heartbroken when I heard they no longer make it!!!👌🤷🏻♂️😭
It’s such an underrated car it’s tough too
agree
I love my 2007 r320 cdi
Super comfortable, drives like a dream.
Some of the original parts and modules are garbage but Mercedes tends to upgrade parts so replacement parts usually last
big cars
I used to own 2007 R320CDI. The most comfortable family car I owned. Gas mileage on road trips was 32-35 mpg. Sadly, it was totaled :( CDIs are pretty rare to find, especially with low mileage.
agree , good luck with new mercedes
@@snggarageeng Thanks. I might go for 2011-2012 with gas engine, since 2011-2012 diesels all have DEF emission system and having in mind most rides my wife takes are within the city, emission system might not get enough ride time for regen to complete for a long long time, and that system could fail soon, costing a lot to repair.
I had R 300 model 2011 it was value for money and best family car it reached 340,000 km and sold it last year . But Mercedes when it gets old, it’s not reliable costly to repair. That’s why we are more dependent on land cruisers.
340k is the record for this car ) thank you for watching! what land cruiser you have?
@@snggarageeng 2016 land cruiser 5.7 L and 2009 model 4.7 L. And the reason for me selling Mercedes R is ignition and failure to start due to electronics / programming.
I have R class for 6 years now I love it.What you say is rubish.You ve done your f. . Homework
Perhaps R class it is the last car manufactured by Mercedes with the old high quality. I have R350 2009.
thank you for your comment , what milage do you have ?
155000 mil Just oil change and general maintenance
Great video!
Also Mercedes engineers designed it with easy access to the middle and rear seats. To do so the two back doors were very long, and moms avoided it because it wasn’t possible to open them without court next to them - some thing parents know is going to be a problem when using any vehicle to transport children.
Mercedes could do a sliding door instead.
thank you
I love my art class 350 went over 230,000 thousand miles. Drives great I will take it anywhere very reliable.
thank you for watching
bought it back in 2011. still driving it today, ran a 1000km road trip 3 times. and it drives like a boat.. 6 pax with cargo... oh this car is a beast.
i can't move on, i need another 6 adult seater that's electric now..
what engine you have ?
You have the 3 liter diesel or 3.5 liter petrol?
v6 3ltre its R300@@snggarageeng
3 liter petrol.. its R300@@dainislejins2745
Look up the Lucid Gravity. . . 🎉
Damn, 🤔this guy invented HaterAide! Sounds like a lil kid going on about why vegetables suck😂😂😂😂
ahahah , thank you for comment
I've owned one for the pass 5yrs. And it's only got better once I changed the airmatic suspension for a adjustable coilover kit by Hiro Performance. The R500 feels 20×more aerodynamic. And less fuel consumption. Believe me or not. Love My R
Beautiful technology in a 'I -don't-know' body.
)))) well it is true
I have a '09 Bluetec 4matic and it is fantastic. Sunroof, harmon kardon speakers, 7 seats and comfortable as a cloud ☁️
how is you sunroof? did you change the rubber on your sunroof?
@@snggarageeng no, not yet. I did the recall for "Field Measure"(diesel emissions) and a front shock. The only issue I have is with the latch on the trunk lid.
Great video! =))
thank you )
I like my r350 a lot!
rare car
The r63 is fire 🔥
agree
I must respectfully disagree with almost everything you said about this R Class. I want the last 8 minutes of my life back.
you bought one ?
Dope ass car..I love mines
it is great )
Is fabulous
very rare
I drive one. It's giving me problems. I am a mechanic, I think I can figure it out.
good luck. thank you for watching
@@snggarageeng is it true that they only made 200 total of the R500 model.
he doesn't knoww what he is saying beautiful best car
heart wants what heart wants )
It kind of looks like a hearse if that’s what you’re into 🤷🏼♂️
