It's time for Mat to say farewell to his beloved AMG G63! He's had his hands on the G for a whole year, but Mercedes have asked for it back, so he's reluctantly handed it over.
But after clocking up thousands of miles, coupled with a whole host of drag races and tugs of war, how impressed was he with this imposing SUV? Sure we all know it looks great, and the performance is unquestionable thanks to the 4-litre twin-turbo V8 packed under the bonnet, but is it really worth the monumental £150k price tag?! And if he could afford one, would he buy one himself?!
Keep watching to find out!

As someone who lives In England, I cannot say how accurate Matt is with the overtaking scene
It's, Not only in England.
Same here in Australia. Our drivers are literal idiots. Hug the right lane of the motorway. Never heard of keep left unless overtaking. Just a bunch of entitled idiots
Same with Indian truck drivers also. They literally don't move from overtaking lanes. Due to this lot of accidents occurs at high speed.
Same here in indonesia, the stupidity of most drivers and riders are beyond ultimate, hugging the right lane and when we ask them to move over they are very angry when we the one who wants to overtake should be angry to them
supaahflyy he wasn’t on about the motorway, he was on about over taking on single road lanes and going into the oncoming lanes. Thankfully lane discipline is a thing here and those who hog the middle lane can be prosecuted.
I'm just mad that you can't afford this car ... you're the only reason why we're here .. Carwow is you, your character built this channel ... the CEO of Carwow needs to pay you more .. seriously!.
he can definitely afford the car, he just needs a loan from the bank. But its just not worth it cause the fuel costs r too high.
Käsebällchen If you need a loan to pay for something, that means you can’t afford it.
@@NonPlayableChar4chter No u can, but not now.
Wait, he is not the owner of CARWOW???
he is the ceo...
The most relatable petrolhead moment:
Friend: Wow look at the clock
Me: Mate its a V8
Friend: Yeah but look at the clock
i think it legal to kill this kind of friends
The fact that Matt loves his G63 being old school vs hating the Land Cruiser being old school just shows how much love he got for german cars.
There’s 2 different versions of old school. There’s outdated and classy old school. The land cruiser is outdated old school
@@TheMildGamer12 on point, nuances people
You think the 200 series Land Cruiser is old school? Fuck me, wait until you see the 70 series Land Cruisers we have in Australia!

Mat: Compared it with a Jeep Wrangler
*sad jimny noises on the background*
Matt should be paid enough to afford a g wagon. He has built carwow into what it is today. Give the man a damn raise.
I bought this car because of Matt’s review!
It is a torque machine and sounds like a hungry beast.
Much fun to drive!
Do you wash it yourself tho?😀
The one thing is that people compare the sound from one side to range rover sport svr
But I think g63 is equally as loud but the sound is divided from 2 sides
You spent 140 grand because some bloke did a video. Yeh right
@@rayyannaeem3062 yes, but great think is you have V8 sound near your doors💪
Can you help me get rich Peter

It is an A45s

I’m guessing the thing you loved the most was the fuel economy.
When i floored the G63, the fuel consumption level literally went to 0km/L 😂

Is he not owner of carwow
@@ragnarlothbrok7973 no he is not
I laughed so hard when he said "Why is it that android users are second class citizens"
Yeah it's so funny. Matt there with a Galaxy S20 ultra and then some random teenager with secondhand iPhone X thinking she got more luxurious phone because its an iPhone
rockzs74r thats a note 10 plus tho
18:00
@@fibinbabu1101sorry for the misinformation then But if I remember correctly he did have an S20 ultra that he showed in a recent videos. Anyway Note 10 plus is still sub 1000 dollar phone
the fact that there are so many androids that cost more than the newest iPhone 12..... and people don't know about it. For example, the newest samsung galaxy z fold 2 still costs more than iPhone 12 pro max :/
@@razaelsyefin9018 random teenage girls that buy phone to impress people will think about Z fold like this: ew... What a weird tall and thick phone this is 2020 get an iPhone
I just so enjoy listening to mat talk about cars. He’s so honest, funny and relatable ❤️
But I do like to take this offroading because it's not my car 😂
The only true all-terrain vehicles are rental cars.
What? all this time i thought the G wagon was his 😅
Yes go on an adventure Dr. Watson, take Holmes with you next time 😁
I'd think that you "being Carwow" atleast the face of it, the one that built Carwow to what it is today that somebody would pay you enough money so you could easily afford one... What a shame! It's my opinion that you could go off on your own and make what the entire Carwow company makes if not more. If you were to do that, Carwow would be a show of the past and the CEO of Carwow will be the one that couldn't afford a G63.
It's not only about buying this car. The cost to run it is huge. Gasoline, service etc... He probably can afford it but it would be a waste of money.
Couldn't agree with your comment more. Matt has made traditional car review companies such as What Car? and Autocar obsolete. Makes videos interesting despite, me not having the money to afford any of his cars that have been reviewed....
I think he could aford it with finance but why would he. He can get a free press car when ever he wants. Rather save money and buy a house
Do you understade, that he is a face in the first place? We do not know anything about writer of any given review as well as don't forget the production. Its mental.
You do realise that he is not the only person making these videos?
That wheel cover missing bothered me the whole time lol.
At first I thot it was are design
Lol me too it made the back look hideous and unlike a G class 😁
i knew something was missing
T was gone in different shots, but yes, it looks horrendous without it
That intro scene was one of the most awesome I’ve ever seen. Had to leave a comment for it. Wow.
Thing about the Highway Code though is that stopping in 53 meters is nice assuming you react to the need to stop in an instant. At 70 mph you travel 40 meters (roughly the difference between HC requirement and what this car can do) in less than 2 seconds. So yeah, modern cars can stop fast, but people need to put their foot down first.
Petition for Mat to get a Dacia Sandero next
This doesn't have as much likes as it should
I hope other people who are not from the Midlands understand Matt's humour. Hilarious guy! Best journalist for me at the mo. Informative, in depth and OCD, doesn't shy from critiquing, isn't afraid of innuendos and swearing and adds humour and sarcasm to it all. Brilliant Matt! (I'm originally from Wolverhampton)

Goodbye, and farewell, gorgeous Mercedes G63. Remember all the great memories and experiences you had with Mat and Carwow, never forget how adored you are. Every single one of us will miss you, but don't be sad, and keep on going and stay happy!
If anyone flashes you for overtaking the overtake is totally safe... They wouldn't have time to flash otherwise!
I just love the led lights of it in a night drive

he can affoard Jimny for sure tho

When matt give a review you expect the best of best no detail isn't missing
Funniest automotive journalist EVER!!! Simply LOVE what you are doing Matt. AWESOME WORK.
Great review here Mat! We are all gonna collectively miss this G63😭😭😭 Aerodynamics of a house but the firepower of a supercar!!! What's next? I can't wait!
I feel you on so many things with my working van, especially the overtaking. At my company we drive mercedes sprinters and for abroad we use the 319 (3.0L V6 with 190pk and 440nm) and when the van is empty it is proper fast (for a van). So when I overtake people they sometimes get angry. I drive these vans for 3 years and over 100.000 km per year. When I overtake someone, I know goddamn well I can overtake!!!
17:28 Now I came to know what specifically heating seats does
I’m convinced that iDrive, MBUX and Audi’s infotainment systems are equally good, people just prefer the ones they’re used to.
When mat had his RS4, he always preferred audi infotainment in reviews
When he had his 8 series, nothing was better than iDrive
And when he got his G63, iDrive just wasn’t as good as MBUX
Can’t blame him, it’s near impossible to be completely unbiased, you just know the system better and get used to it so when you use another one it throws you off completely.
The G63 doesn't even have MBUX lmao
The Android part hit hard lmao
😭🙃
There is a general problem in the UK where overtaking on roads is now frowned upon and people get super angry no matter what car you are driving in. Performance, or expensive, cars get +100% hate though.
Yep - people are losing the ability for safe overtaking. I was following a slow cattle van doing 36mph but the car behind that was a BMW M4 that didn't overtake it on an empty, clear road with 60mph limit! On the first clear stretch , I waited for the M4 to go overtake. It didn't. On the next clear stretch I safely went past both in my borrowed 1.0 Citigo! Then after I went past the M4 realised maybe his 400+BHP would allow him to get past and finally overtook!
Tbf people that overtake either have massive egos or have egos and are a complete dicks to other road users. If it’s safe and there’s no danger involved feel free to overtake but you don’t look cool, you look like a knob
Matt: Slamming the side doors.
Me: Now that's alot of damage.

Matt I want this type of review for every car 🚗. U have given each and every details of ur G63.
Please give this type of reviews.
Keep it up 👍🏻
how can Mat not afford this car? he is the face of this company, I wouldn't be surprised if he owned this company. This guy should be paid way more.
I have the hyacinth red on my new E class. I absolutely love it and get allot of positive comments on it
I like the G more, but its above my budget. I live in the netherlands, where this G is about 250k euro.

Importeer hem uit Duitsland met een beetje schade. Zo omzeil je de BPM die onze overheid op ons forceert. Een beetje schade hoeft niks meer te zijn dan een kapotte airbag, daarna kan je hem weer erop zetten. Verder als je een contact hebt in Duitsland kan je hem ook op Duits kenteken laten zetten
@@babyj4154 ik koop altijd nieuw. Maar wel goede tip.
I chose melbourne red on my bmw (with the light interior), yesterday it was the only car of any colour parked in my street, all the others were monotonous versions of grey.
I got my G63 in Rubellite metallic. Great dark red. Didn't want the black on blak alongside the other midlife crisis dads I see playing Russian gangster.
9:51 The seat was happy to see you, Matt
Gofund for Mat to own a G63 😂😂😂 Seriously though this guy is a G63!! The love has been intense. 🤣 Someone get this man a G63!!
Please but the original caver for the back tire, will look better and lovely
As a fellow Samsung Galaxy user, THANK YOU for always advocating for us Android people!
You need to add 21 metres of thinking distance to that 53metres stopping distance Matt!
The cinematics in your movie looked like u were on TopGear 🔥💯
the editing and cinematic quality keeps on improving from video to video. I approve (: (And i should mention the jokes are still spot on gj matt )
Unbelievable G. No question about it. The best and the most expensive off-roader I've ever known. So gooooooood is it's performance!
This was a good comprehensive review of things one wouldn’t think about until he/she lives with a vehicle after purchase. For his effort, Mr. Watson get’s a solid “A.” Mercedes gets an “A” for their engineering though at this price, should go the extra mile and address those niggling issues. Regardless, I’d take this G as it is because its amazing.
When Matt gets frustrated it’s so hilarious😂
14:53 When Matt just had enough hahaha
Carwow should pay him more salary.
Just love the way he reviews the cars.
Car Wow producers gift Matt a G Wagon he deserves it every bit. He is a star ⭐️ and best Car reviewer of current times!!
No idea why I watched an entire review of a car I will never buy. Probably because Matt is a bloody good reviewer.
Petition to see bloopers and behind the scenes footage. Like so they will see it
there are some previous behind the scene videos of carwowo in the channel
Mat is the only person to offroad his g wagon because nobody never offroad their g wagon
Except this is a loaner and he literally said he can't afford it
Love the mercedes and hopefully it will win in the other future races
That g63 remote car was also good😂..Nice editing
Auto sunroof closing is an impressive feature. Nice touch that it’s not an optional extra
The intro was like the "INTRO" to A MOVIE
If you have the MB Live Traffic Service there’s really no need for CarPlay or Auto. Navigation is brilliant.

Highway code stopping distance includes reaction time, not just physical distance (but agreed, it is out of date)
problem really exists, not in the vehicle, but in the driver
bruh I feel really sorry that u can’t afford it- ur the only reason I watch the channel
Man g63 amg is quite a good daily driver. Just dreaming to own one of these
Anyways nice work carwow with the cinematics keep it up I want more of it.
👍
Almost all the negative points keep it true to its off road identity and capabilities. Im sure if they got power steering and air suspension someone would complain or say its not as good as it could be due to it having the above mentioned.
I respect that from Mercedes and I hope they dont change it.
Hahahha when you revved it that face😂 Imagine seeing someone in town just looking at everyone revving his g63

That intro was great level of filming!!
Great comment about applying the brake instead of flashing your lights! Could not agree more!
I used this car for a few days and it is actually a lovely car. However, few of the things I hate about it is that it doesn't have a keyless entry. And controlling the infotainment is not a breeze.
G wagon is pure love. Matt black with red interior

@Serby665 I'm guessing that Mat is reviewing a non-4wd AMG. Here in the US, The 4X4 (squared) starts at $350K USD. Without 4wd, how good could this be off-road?
that title card is insanely high production! bravo
I always have the ambient lighting on red. Makes me feel like i am in a battleship in danger mode.
Hm. When mine arrives in the fall, I suppose I'll try red. Makes me feel like I'm in a cat house;)
The location of the gear selector could actually be quite cumbersome for people who had the light switch (turn signals, etc.) on that location in their previous vehicle.
I agree
Only the japanese have it on that side

Hi Matt, I'm from Manchester but now live in Australia, and enjoy watching your reviews. Can I ask, when you're talking about something, i.e. switch, why the heck do you have to touch everything? The camera is looking at the 3 switches, and you don't point, you have to touch and press!! :) You even touched the tyre in this video as well when talking about the wheels and tyres! We know what the tyre is mate! Apologies if it's your OCD. Love the show, keep em coming!
In general...proper video and i really enjoyed it! but i get a bit frustrated when journalists or people start comparing a proper (but very fancy) 4x4 with SUV's....it is supposed not to go around bends like a Porsche or bmw, it is supposed to have that more vertical windscreen for you to see the comers of the car etc etc...please don't complaining about a car that isn't made for something! This just don't have competitors....because it's supposed to be like a wrangler (regarding performance offroad) but with luxury of all those fancy SUV's!
14:16 No one gonna talk about matt pulling out on an ST at a roundabout? 😂
Yeah could be why he says he gets hate on the road!
If I’m honest, he may not of, he did slow down once in the roundabout and did go around it properly so this could be a factor as to why the fiesta got close. It came from out of the shot so it’s hard to tell

It has become obvious that almost all buyers of this car will never take it off-road. The Mercedes AMG G63 is a status symbol and I think it’s only fair Mercedes AMG should create an executive version of this car with options like air suspension, soft close doors and better smoother ride at least give people the option to choose between rough or smooth, that way the car will be true to its usage
The issue with door mounted seat controls is that they can’t fit everything there. So much stuff is in the infotainment system. Also I am a full proponent of column shifters. My car has one and it’s so nice. I have so much space in my center console for food or my dog or a large bottle of hand sanitizer. Granted mine is mechanical not electronic so I can’t just do a quick flick but it’s still closer to my hand
4:05 then there’s me slamming the trunk of my Accord 😂😂

Yes or the wheel could be facing front would look more normal

When Mercedes get Matt's G63 back they are going to have a second hand G63 to sell. G63 one owner, low mileage, frequently drag raced, used in tug of wars, abused off road. Sounding tempting
That can dare call itself a proper longterm test review. Matt is the best
