I will give Mercedes this. The one big thing that the E63S has over the new M5 is just the pure fact that it can be had in a wagon. Which is just glorious if you ask me.
@The Truth Well, ignoring BMW racing history does not validate your claim. They are both good, but BMW only made the wagon one year in M specification. It would be interesting to see how this does against an Alpina B5 Touring.
Damn The Truth is out here destroying everyone with facts lol, and I’m sorry to whoever mentioned BMW’s racing history but it’s a spec compared to Mercedes’ lol
Quick tip for 5:39: hold down the downshift paddle for a second and it will automatically downshift to the right gear where you have the most available power.
The lovely driver letting you pass at 7:35 is why we need two beep modes in all our cars: the courtesy beep (double blip) and the fuck you beep (standard).
It's funny you should mention that. I had seen a few LC500s driving around and didn't think anything of it (I really don't like it, every time I looking it I I can't help but think about how much better the LFA looks). But the other day I went to a car show and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the interior. Lexus knocked it out of the park, in fact it even makes the LFA's interior look cheap.
@@iviaximum9543 You aren't forced at all to choose "piano black" interior. This stupid blah blah about "looking really bad really fast" is totally irrelevant, buddy! Just order a different interior spec and you have the best of the best in its class.
Yeah. And the only reason this Mercedes is the most powerful production wagon is because Cadillac didn't make a wagon version of the current generation of CTS-V (640 HP/630 tq). But you can always buy a previous gun CTS-V wagon and mod it a bit. Real easy to get to 700 HP with basic mods AND you can get it with a manual.
@@vernonprice5986 Forget about this "600 hp" . In German car tests the AMG E63S Wagon had more than 650 hp on the dyno. The same with the current BMW M5, which has measured 670 hp on the dyno, despite its official "600" PS. German high performance cars are always completely underrated... Just look at Porsche and the performance of their cars, which has nothing to do with "only" 550 hp in the Panamera Turbo.
Not a Benz guy but become a fan. This is now on the very short list of new cars that I actually give a shit about. I was a little concerned about how these review would change with the sponsorship. You still seem quite sincere and mostly unfiltered Matt. Thanks!
Ian Henderson the 18 Mustang GT and GT350, Any RWD 911, Panamera Turismo, VW GTI/Golf R, McLaren 720, Chrysler Pacifica (twins on the on the way), M5, C7 Grand Sport and the Miata as I await a telescoping steering wheel. Intrigued by the Kia Stinger as well.
rs6 is not even half of this car. i wouldnt put the rs6 next to the e63 estate because of the ride comfort first of all. then prolly i'm biassed in here because i drove an rs6 right after i got off an s8 and for some reason the s8 had better torque low down than the rs6 and that's weird considering they have the same engine and the s8 has less hp and torque. then is the interior design and the drive feel. the rs6 feels big, not as big as the m5 but way bigger than the e63. the e63 even tho is big .. feels small and pointy.
I remember discovering this road when I lived in Cali a couple years ago. This specific road is responsible for me getting into motorsport. Fantastic One Take.
Nick Grothe, unless Im sorely mistaken, I believe this is a road between santa cruz and san fransisco. I think its called skyline drive. If youre in central cali, its definitely worth a detour to experience. 90% of the people that drive that road tend to pull off to the side if youre going faster than them. This road inspired me to trade in my jetta for a bmw so I could enjoy it even more.
Truth. To be fair, I've seen glossy wood veneer interiors that were let go and lordy, does it show. I dig the matte finish wood grain finishes on some higher end luxury brand offerings over the past several years.
So weird to see you in my area. Those roads you’re driving made me the man I am today. Hah. For real though, I wouldn’t be half the driver I am today if not for HWY 9, Skyline Blvd, Bear Creek Rd, Black Rd, Page Mill, HWY 84, etc. That whole area of the Santa Cruz mountains has so much to offer. Skyline is s higher average speed road where Page Mill is very tight and technical. Whatever you prefer, you got it. I used to hit those roads early in the morning, right when the sun was coming out; that way it was bright enough to see suicidal deer in advance but early enough for light traffic. I’ve done Skyline Blvd from HWY 92 to HWY 9 into Los Gatos in 20 minutes. And that was in a 2006 G35 sedan w/ a six speed. Pretty low level performance car. Imagine what you could do in that Benz.
These fast German Wagons are incredible all round pieces of equipment. In Europe we also benefit from the RS6 Estate (that's English for Wagon:-)) But, there's always a "but" right? You lose something. Feel, driver involvement. They are so powerful, so fast that they are now supercar fast. So much so that supercars are now producing space shuttle levels of power which can't be used. Look at the 812 Superfast as an example. If you want one car that does everything then you're going find it difficult to argue against an E63 Wagon (or RS6 if you're in the rest of the world). Trust me though, you drive one for a while and you start to feel that something is missing, some sort of driver interaction, the feeling that you are actually part of the car and making it go the way it goes. The comfortable cosseted surroundings that disguise the speed and astonishing progress these cars make that make them the perfect continent munchers numb the enjoyment and involvement of driving. At that point you hanker for something more analogue. So lets say you can afford 120K+ for a car, that means you can probably afford a couple of cars. At 120K would you take an E63s over say a 575 Maranello and a runabout daily driver? I tip my hat wholeheartedly to the technology that has made these cars a reality, but as they've evolved a little bit of envolvement and love and enjoyment of driving died with the evolution. What do I know? I own a 2017 4.0 V8 twin turbo German wagon, it is the best all round car I have ever owned or driven, by a country mile, but on a sunny Sunday morning when I want to drive for the sheer pleasure of driving, I open the garage and pull out something altogether older and more analogue.
WOW what a nice ride! I personally prefer wagons over sedans because I like them better with road handling and Burnouts but that's personal!! Anyway have many more Safe Rides and thanks a lot!!
I Love This Car! I LOVE Fast Wagons! Fast cars with practical long rooflines are the best thing ever for practical minded gearheads. I lament that Cadillac neglected to give us the next generation CTS-V WAGON! In lieu of that... I want this car! Btw Thank You's to Sonic and Autobahn Motors for letting us lust over this dream car!
Thanks for taking me back in time to the late 90s when I used to wake up at 0'dark-thirty on a Saturday to leave my apartment in SF and drive Skyline Blvd in my e36 M3. Did you stop at Alice's?
Love the review..... great job. We have 2018 E400 wagon with a ECU tune. Its my wife’s car and she loves it. I love driving the car its solid yet comfortable.
Seen Through Haggis I’m a huge BMW fan cause of cars like the E46 and E60 but all the new cars are trash compared to Mercedes and Porsche. E63 > M5 any day.
Not really into Wagons but damn i would consider this over the RS6 Avant. They really nailed it with this car,sports car performance in a family wagon is brilliant.
norcal drivers really get sports cars.. and bikes.. a lot of pulling over.. and we return the favor when we're in a slow vehicle. good to see you on our local roads.
alexioflexio Hmm maybe.. I've often found 9 to be quite painful on weekends regarding people with tunnel vision that never, ever, pull over, even during off peak times. When do you drive it?
sure.. overall people don't pull over much. but i've lived in many places in the world and i can say that in general, people pull over A LOT more in norcal. i ride motorcycles and sports car, and overall ive had amazing experiences. not to mention the fact that there is lane-splitting with motorcycles and people try to leave you as wide a berth as possible. pretty unique
Okay this is because I come from Canada so this is technically the only super wagon we got. But I'd gladly take this over an M5. Now if we're talking sedan versions I'd take the M5 every time. But saying that I freaking love this car though just the way it looks and how super unnecessary it is to have a wagon that has this much performance
LamboPlays I know. Looking back at it I kind of worded that really shity. But I'm saying I'll take the wagon over the M5 sedan any day but if it's sedan vs. Sedan I'm taking the M5
Me siento más atraído hacia las wagons que a los SUV. Ésta MB está genial, potencia, practicidad y comodidad. El motor suena genial. Excelente auto (o wagon en éste caso) Lo siento, tenía pereza de escribir en inglés, así que lo hice en mi idioma nativo.
I wonder how many accidents nowadays are caused by people looking at the screens in their cars and fiddling their way through it all. A knob or a button, you can press/turn without looking - not so with a screen.
Now I'm only about 2 minutes into the video right now, so I'll edit my comment along the way, but I noticed you got a close-up of the seat controls on the driver's side... If you look carefully, while the passenger's side has only the normal controls, plus buttons for the heated and cooled seats, the driver's side has a third button with the picture of a seat labelled "R." If you push that button, then it makes the driver's side seat controls take over the controls of the passenger side! Even if you hit "R" then turn on the heated or cooled seats, it'll do that to the passenger side instead. However, if a passenger is sitting there, their controls will cancel out the driver's controls. I've tested it out with my aunt in her 2017 E300, and it was pretty neat. She and I were laughing the whole time, but it's great for when my grandma gets in the passenger seat and can't figure out the controls -- my aunt then just takes over and adjusts it without reaching over. Edit 1: 5:50 So, I'm not the only one who hates having all these gears? I honestly feel that for an automatic, 5 speeds is perfect, 6 speeds is pushing it. My mom has a 2016 W205 C300, and in manual mode, having 7 speeds is pretty obnoxious... Having to triple-click the left "paddle" to go from 7th to 6th to 5th to 4th just to take off nicely is a little bit too much... Edit 2: How are the Pilot Sport 4S tires? I run Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires on my 2002 CLK430, but I'm looking for something with a tad bit more grip and perhaps a bit quieter...
Great review. Great car. People always talk about the high depreciation of Mercedes Benz especially the AMG cars and the high ownership costs but it is a $120k twin turbo charged high performance car. What else would you expect? I believe if you can afford to properly maintain these cars you will enjoy them for many years.
Great review - thanks for posting. Awesome car, I'd trade my allroad in for that in a minute if I could afford it.(I love wagons) Audi have the rs6, but the amg is lovely indeed. Great road for a Sunday morning rip ; and I think every morning would be a Sunday morning for me.
Skyline is SO fun & beautiful, but my buddy actually spun his E36 M3 into the guard rail near Alice's. I'd feel a lot more confident driving a well-planted AWD beast like this up there.
No doubt the newly-fixed (visually) Panamera Turbo S will come out soon and give this car a real run. Excellent car though, and the video is great as always.
I will give Mercedes this. The one big thing that the E63S has over the new M5 is just the pure fact that it can be had in a wagon. Which is just glorious if you ask me.
The Truth e63 still lost to the m5 no matter how hard you complain ;)
The Truth, You don't sound biased at all. /s

Quick tip for 5:39: hold down the downshift paddle for a second and it will automatically downshift to the right gear where you have the most available power.
Underrated comment since matt didnt mention it and I'm sure not many people know that and the importance of that.
Or simple put the pedal to the metal. Kick down will activated
Thanks, gonna try it in mine 😀
Picked one up two weeks ago, thank you for this
@@matimoonhoney5606 Sure for climbing gears.. Were talking about downshifting here

It's a wagon so no
@@_baller That sounds like a personal conceptual limitation.

This has got to be the best, most well rounded car in the world. Absolutely crazy!
How does it compare to the RS 6 or the RS 4 Avants?
Steve LaForce RS6 avant right up there brother
rs6 not even close. the ride in the rs6 it's an absolute shit specially in the uk where the roads are not the best..
Christopher Palmer I think of the Mk6/7 GTI's as the benchmarks for what a regular car from this decade can and should be.
I own a 2015 SE that I paid 17k for.....I will agree to this! I am buying a 16 e63s sedan, though.
The lovely driver letting you pass at 7:35 is why we need two beep modes in all our cars: the courtesy beep (double blip) and the fuck you beep (standard).

It's not often that I'm blown away by the interiors in modern cars, but this, and the LC500 are recent favorites.

What a spectacular machine. Looks better than the sedan. Looks better than the M5 in my opinion, and hauls more than ass.
What a great wagon. Makes me miss the old CTSV Wagon. People buy SUVs instead. People are stupid.

Im so stoked to see you driving my favorite roads!! Been driving 35, 84 and all the other great roads up there since I was a kid in my old 240z
Seeing you blast past all those traffic signs way too fast always puts a smile on my face 🙂
Wow! Ive never seem Matt this excited about a car. I love me a good wagon! In white no less! Keep up the good work!
Matt's really giving us a show with this one. He is ripping on that thing. Beautiful road by the way.
One of my dream cars!!! But this one does everything.. utility, performance, AWD, and comfort. It seems to do it all at a high level.

Great road for a Sunday morning rip ; and I think every morning would be a Sunday morning for me.
Dope. Another great video Matt.
how fast are you going?
Sounds absolutely amazing
totally love this...so stealth
perfect sound
Skyline is SO fun & beautiful, but my buddy actually spun his E36 M3 into the guard rail near Alice's. I'd feel a lot more confident driving a well-planted AWD beast like this up there.
Gonna have to visit Autobahn Motors of SF!
Awesome review, thanks
"It's very very refined in here..." cut to drive by shot with 5 backfires as it downshifts for a corner. This wagon is one BAMF
It just sounds so damn good!
No doubt the newly-fixed (visually) Panamera Turbo S will come out soon and give this car a real run. Excellent car though, and the video is great as always.
Please make a video on the e43 amg, I would like to hear your opinion on it.
crazy that i covet this car as much as an exotic
Love all the sound effect came out of your mouth,lol, hilarious
