BMW is the main rival for Mercedes, and iDrive is better than Mercedes software.He just want to create an idea for comparison.Another phrase you might spot in his reviews is the Adaptive dynamic suspension for BMW :D !
Volsund my dreamcar aswell, my dad had the previous model of this and now he bought the new 7 series, but i wanted him to buy this one. i feel like crying 😭 the 7 isnt a bad car either, on contrary its an amazing car but the s class is better in my opinion
I really cant get the idea of the sportiness in this class . This is luxury limousine, it should isolate you from the outside world, no to put a smile on your face while driving on a back roads. If I'm after sporty feel it is much better to take BMW5 or Audi A6 - this is the better compromise between sport and luxury. But when you take the luxury class then it is pointless to look any further then S-class
That English wine was Nyetimber - over £30 a bottle at Waitrose and recommended as excellent. Rumour has it The Queen serves it. Not sure I'd want a diesel though.
@KQJH 1. It's impossible to judge reliability of that young models. If you knew what you're talking about, you'd know this. 2. I doubt the Lexus is more comfortable than the S-Class. Never heard something like this from any tester.
I would just like to say that the Sclass is worse in class for standard equipment, check thoroughly whats actually on there not how big the list is, a Audi A6 has more standard equipment in some cases
We still don't know if the s350d is coming to North America and I don't understand why the British are being denied the all wheel drive model... I'm looking at the s350d and the s500e pretty hard.
Mercedes s class has been the bearer of new technology like airbag, sat nav, cruise control and so much more and is easily the best car In the world. End of story!!!!!
It is just gorgeous, easily beats the 7 series and A8 when its down to looks, both inside and out. But those to will be renewed soon so very curious to see what they come up with to try and beat this S class.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son JESUS CHRIST FOR OUR SINS SO WHOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE AMEN AMEN AMEN
Having used both cars the 7 series is far superior as a more sporty car. The s class seems to be designed for 70 plus and really feels it. I would never buy one over a 7 series as they are a much better drive and have better engines and kit.
after seeing new a8 in 2017, i still prefer the looks of this S class to audi a8. but it's different when we talk about the interior. new audi wins absolutely
Why is the badge on the bonnet skew!! Surely you noticed that before filming, put it back in its rightful place slanting backwards. What an insult to the S-Class.
How can possibly Mercedes competitors beat Mercedes in its flagship S class segment? Mercedes has always taken top-bottom approach whereas the BMW and audi have taken bottom-up approach...
I've driven the latter two (and an older S-class), Panamera is quite different to the other two, it's not as spacious inside, but it's the most exiting one to drive. S-class probably the comfiest one for passengers and A8 is not far off, but it has better infotainment system and it's generally a bit easier to use (like all buttons and switches are located where you'd expect them etc. S-class is a bit weird until you get used to it). Personally, I'd get a Panamera, but if you need space and passenger comfort I'd get the S-class (although the A8 is as good). But being in the US I'd also consider something American, like a Caddy or smth Good luck with your choice
the route guidance sucks it does not understand a thing i say ,...i'm down to using my phone for route guidance . i wonder if you could download samsung speech recognition ! also the tunk opened 2 times mysteriously , once in the poring rain .
Love your reviews, i jsut cant understand how arent you stunned by all that gorgeos looking interiors, i mean its perfection, literally.. By the way are you going to make a review of an Audi A8 2018 ?
You have never mentioned in any previous s-class reviews that the center console buttons feel cheap... what about 7-series and A8 buttons which are not all finished in metal?
I love the interior, but those optional back seats don't seem as nice as something in the half priced G90/Equus. I think you need the Maybach for a truly impressive rear.
well you can get the rear seat pack plus which has a reclining rear seats with a huge footrest that comes out of the seats and under the armrest you have 2 metal/leather tables and u have more ambient lighting and tvs. but u probaly kenw this already :p sorry
ToniThePancake Yeah, what I meant is they add to the already high price while not being as nice as those in the Equus. The Maybach ones are amazing though, they're probably the nicest in any car at any price.
If I had £1 every time mat mentions BMWs idrive in his videos I'd be able to afford this car!
But it really is the best one :D
BMW is the main rival for Mercedes, and iDrive is better than Mercedes software.He just want to create an idea for comparison.Another phrase you might spot in his reviews is the Adaptive dynamic suspension for BMW :D !
but seriously iDrive is indeed much much much better interface and user-friendly to use than MB's Command...
it's true. I have first hand experience as my X5's system is so intuitive that even my mother mastered it in one sitting.
ofc mercedes has in production is for 3 yrs a bmw is 5 months
I'm actually buying one of these the 2016 model at 35k euro, I love that u can get used classics like these that provide such luxury at such price
How’s the car been?
So 2016 model is a “classic” for you?
Damn, that’s actually a good price for such a good and luxurious car
How is it?
Sounds like Irish price that
My dream car. Too bad at the moment i can only afford a used bicycle.
what bicycle you got?
Volsund you're not the only one bro I got a 26inch mongoose bike
Volsund my dreamcar aswell, my dad had the previous model of this and now he bought the new 7 series, but i wanted him to buy this one. i feel like crying 😭 the 7 isnt a bad car either, on contrary its an amazing car but the s class is better in my opinion
yep, been there
in fact, can't even ride a bike 👿
you feel like crying that you have the new 7 series,,, ?
,,,,,, the 1nternet for you, people =D
I'm sure that at some point a comparison between the Mercedes S Class, BMW 7 series, Audi A8 and Lexus LS is to happen, I look forward to it!
If that's the type of car it takes to make driving through central London bearable, I'm glad I don't live in central London.

+Robert Smith my brother in law bought it for me for babysitting his kids. Hope he doesn't see the vid...
That's funny.
I love how Matt uses that same pink and blue bag in his practicality videos and demonstration.
can you do a comparison of the S class,A8,7 series and the Lexus LS
S Class and A8 on the way!
S class, A8 and 5 SERIES?! It is 7 series mate.
opps 7 series my bad
@KQJH
1. It's impossible to judge reliability of that young models. If you knew what you're talking about, you'd know this.
2. I doubt the Lexus is more comfortable than the S-Class. Never heard something like this from any tester.
Driver involvement?? You sure about that?
Best car ever, period.
S350 is a gift from god when it's remapped 👍🏻
I have been waiting for this kind of review. Thanks Mat. It's hard to figure out negatives in S class, you did. Great Review.
Great review as always but misleading title! There is a face lifted S coming in 2017, this is the current 2016 car
+Joe Achilles will do that when it's out...
yeah. maybe change the video title?
+Junaid Mahomed never. And you can't make me. ;-)
Joe Achilles I'm watching this in 2017 hello from the future
@@rean3073 I'm watching this in 2020 hello from even further in the future, hot tip......stock up on toilet rolls!
I will always mark this video as "the best of Mat Watson"
I love what mercades is doing recently, everything is a hit
You did the video i requested!!!! thank youu!! dream car :)))
No worries!
Now Audi A7, please :)
I would just like to say that the Sclass is worse in class for standard equipment, check thoroughly whats actually on there not how big the list is, a Audi A6 has more standard equipment in some cases
YEAH A7!!!! Come on Mat you can do it
If the new LS doesn't wow me I am getting this!
Mat is a car legend
Best car reviewer on TH-cam! :)
Mat is a funny guy and a good introducer.
We still don't know if the s350d is coming to North America and I don't understand why the British are being denied the all wheel drive model... I'm looking at the s350d and the s500e pretty hard.
TOO POSH TO PUSH..... sneaked that one in quite nicely.
I found this exact car 2017 s350d at $62423 is it over priced? It is still on 37000kms. Just want to get advise before if this is a good buy?
Stop slamming the door!!!! It's a soft closing door ffs. How annoying.
+Daniel Bitar stop using too many exclamation marks. You only need one! See. How annoying. 😁
I will give you another chance to fix this. Make a video about soft closing doors? 😁
Please review the E-Class! Thanks
+Pav1232 I've done it. Search carwow E-Class review
FINALLY A LUXURY CAR REVIEW !! Love it!
Do a Maybach s500/s600! PLEASE!! +carwow
what are the differences between the 2017 and the 2014 models ?
1:18 Media Interface 1: Stupidly Large Phone :D
As always, love your reviews Mat and sense of humour.
My dad is picking his up this friday! Really amazing car! you honestly need to view it in person to appreciate it!
Mercedes s class has been the bearer of new technology like airbag, sat nav, cruise control and so much more and is easily the best car In the world. End of story!!!!!
almost perfect,
wind noise is the main issue on all W222.
i bougth one in 2015 and latter in 2018 - same problem.
this car is just amazing. ..love it
don't know if it's possible but would be so happy to see you guys reviewing the Mercedes S 600 Maybach
Matt Watson which one u recommend BMW 7 series or Mercedes S class.....??
What's going on with the Sat Nav? Are the maps not up to date?
I believe is driving in some sort of circuit
British admiring a german superior technology, poetic justice. By the way, best car reviews you can get on you tube. Great job!
Really getting your money's worth from that HTC Matt 😁👊
It is just gorgeous, easily beats the 7 series and A8 when its down to looks, both inside and out. But those to will be renewed soon so very curious to see what they come up with to try and beat this S class.
Great video. I don't know if it's just me or the audio is a bit too low...
+Gerardo Salas it is low its not just you for me too.
Dream Car... perfect outlook and interior design
best car reviewer. good work.
Cinematic level video quality. Well done!
Best car reviews on TH-cam!
Thanks for smartening up Mat. I'm a teacher & a bit obsessed, so make sure that shirt stays tucked in. 😉 Ha. Great review.

Love the color combination. Black + White = The Dream
The most elegant S Class Maybach to date. The newer model is super tech but this version is utter elegance!
I'd love to see a Jaguar XJ review.
Gr8 video, wish you could do a side by side comparo with the 7-series!
there are coming a lot of electric sedans ,
but only ONE , IS ELECTRIFYING !
0:59 he's listening to s club 7 XD lol Im dead
Having used both cars the 7 series is far superior as a more sporty car. The s class seems to be designed for 70 plus and really feels it. I would never buy one over a 7 series as they are a much better drive and have better engines and kit.

The angle of the Mercedes star is somehow special ;)
But a good video anyway!
this is called perfect review man...great job.
What was that about the right hand steering wheel at 5:17?
"avoid the red ambient light or people might think you're a mobile brothel" LOL thats pretty true, good review video btw
Review the Rolls Royce Phantom EWB like a regular car, even though not many viewers will be able to afford that!
In the U.K, you guys don't get the 13 speaker Burmester system standard? The speakers are black on this model...doesn't look like them.
Is there a reason that the hood ornament is bent forward?
Why is the badge on the bonnet skew!! Surely you noticed that before filming, put it back in its rightful place slanting backwards. What an insult to the S-Class.
But does it come with a chauffeur?
It's nice that this S-Class doesn't have two f**king screens for the people in the backseats
Nice taste in music Mat!
How can possibly Mercedes competitors beat Mercedes in its flagship S class segment? Mercedes has always taken top-bottom approach whereas the BMW and audi have taken bottom-up approach...
Awesome video. But sound is on the lower side. other than that all ok.😀
what happened to the S class' elegant steering wheel?
AMG line has this steering wheel, the elegant one is on the SE model
It's S550 not S65. I wonder if they ditched that steering wheel in 2017
your commentary is sometimes really loud, and the other time like whispering, which is very annoying ...
just listened on my laptop and the sound is the same consistent level
Do you have 5.1 speakers?
I use a normal 2.1 speakers from my laptop.
same problem here, sometime cant hear nothing
same. kinda ruins the video
Mat, could you please do a head-to-head between the Maserati Levante, Porsche Macan and the Jaguar F-Pace?
You're just too awesome, Mat!
2014/2015 S class550
Or
2013/2014 Panamera 4S/GTS
Or
2015 Audi A8l 4.0 tfsi
Which one would you buy mat? And others?
I live in US
I've driven the latter two (and an older S-class), Panamera is quite different to the other two, it's not as spacious inside, but it's the most exiting one to drive. S-class probably the comfiest one for passengers and A8 is not far off, but it has better infotainment system and it's generally a bit easier to use (like all buttons and switches are located where you'd expect them etc. S-class is a bit weird until you get used to it).
Personally, I'd get a Panamera, but if you need space and passenger comfort I'd get the S-class (although the A8 is as good). But being in the US I'd also consider something American, like a Caddy or smth
Good luck with your choice
The color is beautiful 😍
You mean bland. Ugly generic looking color. Its a blah color.
S Club 7 Greatest hits eh Matt. Have a word
Lol too posh to push 😄. That made me laugh 😄
Just streaming around, watching videos of cars i will never drive ;)
m8, turn the mic volume up. you haven't fix it in while
the route guidance sucks it does not understand a thing i say ,...i'm down to using my phone for route guidance . i wonder if you could download samsung speech recognition !
also the tunk opened 2 times mysteriously , once in the poring rain .
I like this guy, with the right writing staff he could be great.
very nice car, and really cool review, but the sound is a little bit low...
mercedez has always been top of the list of every car since 1886...
The exhaust on the v8 models is dual tip exhaust right out the rear bumper. Not sure why they did a faux exhaust on the diesel. That is odd
Driving through a field judging by the sat nav!!
Tesla Model S review please!
P100D!
Check his review of Model S on carbuyer
I have watched it multiple times! Although it's 2 years old and much have happened since then
Love your reviews, i jsut cant understand how arent you stunned by all that gorgeos looking interiors, i mean its perfection, literally.. By the way are you going to make a review of an Audi A8 2018 ?
Can I upgrade my s class 2015 key fob to make it look like to 2018 key fob
Matt why you do dis the refreshed version is coming soon, amazing colour
0:15 my OCD is kicking in because the mercades Star is skew 😂😂
You have never mentioned in any previous s-class reviews that the center console buttons feel cheap... what about 7-series and A8 buttons which are not all finished in metal?
It looks like the newer version of W220. Elegant and beautiful. I have never liked the previous generations...
Regards
the controls are really easy to use - except when they're not!
S Club 7 hahaha!!
james batchelor from Carbuyer love the soft closing doors""""
Matt why did you leave carbuyer?
Mercedes-Benz S class is probably the Mat's favorite car ever.
S club 7? :D I see what you did there! xD
How is this car from 2013-17 yet it has 3 spoke steering wheel?pre facelift model only had 2 spoke wheel.
Great video 👍🏻
do a review from the seat leon fr and what would be mega comparison between the leon FR, golf GTD/GTI and the octavia VRS
wot a presentation man awesome job. u got a real good busy future ahead Lol :-D
I would want wheel arch trims as well as rocker panel chrome trims.
I love the interior, but those optional back seats don't seem as nice as something in the half priced G90/Equus. I think you need the Maybach for a truly impressive rear.

Bizarre you can't get AWD in the UK. I think it's standard in the US and Canada in the S400 and S550.
