I don't understand why there is so much hate over the fact that he leases his S550.. Clearly, the people who are complaining about it have never leased a car or have any idea what that means. I also lease a S550 4Matic sedan (similar to his car but a few different options) and wouldn't want to do it any either way. By leasing a new car, you always have the latest and greatest car, renewable by each cycle. You also have the car during its warranty, which is vital for expensive and rarely unreliable luxury sedans. You people need to stop complaining about him leasing this car. Quite frankly, it is the smartest plan for financing a car like this.
Plus, at the end of the day, he can take out his S550, Gallardo, or M5 while people complain that he can't afford the S550. If he couldn't afford leasing it, he wouldn't have it.
Exactly... Like I could probably afford purchasing a Subaru Forester XT at best but right now I'm looking at leasing an E350 sedan (still in the market, I'm kind of torn between my brand loyalty with MB and with going for a Lexus RX450h)
Leasing is actually smarter you pay less don't pay for maintenance, and don't lose money when car is 4 years older and you want the new version. Only sucks if you go over mileage. Kids act like leasing is bad well okay get your credit to 750 and lease a car.
Sitting in a phantom is a much more special experience than a maybach. Despite not having nearly as much technology as the maybach, the meticulous attention to detail and hand assembled materials delivers comfort at a different level
Desmond Anderson It sucks. I currently drive a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins diesel, and my dad bought a 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 and I drove it and oh my God I absolutely hate it. You can't hear the vehicle at all. Even though it's a great vehicle, it's not my style.Too too quiet
"When it's cold out" and you live in Michigan so yep that's all the time lol Also had to add, it was neat the F-150 gave you the perfect example of having to manually stop at a light.
The S-Class is the most comfortable car to drive and the airmatic that scans the road is crazy! How ever I had the New E-Class on test drive over the last weekend and it was really amazing as well, so much improvements compared last two versions W211 & W212 that me and my wife has got. The new E is like a small S!
You need to take that car on a road trip. We have a CLS550 Mercedes and it is fantastic on long road trips. These cars were made for that sort of thing.
Guys should check out what Jag has just developed for navigation, safety and almost everything u need guidance of without ever having to touch a button or look down at screens or dashboard.
Nobody who spends $120,000 on a car keeps it for 10+ years and if they do and want something replaced and can afford a car this expensive they'll be able to fix it no problem.
Well. Like you said with the window wipers its pretty much the same like our car right now. 2001 E-Class mercedes benz. Saloon. And you have to hold it in for the washer fluid and it'll also activate the window wipers.
I have the body style before this one: a 2013 w221. I LOVE the interior of your new-style s-class, but I'm not wild about the exterior...yet. It's going to take a little while to grow on me. I can't wait to see what the next generation s-class will look like.
I very much enjoyed the whole series of videos you posted of your S550. I'm soon to be in the market for a CPO car under 30k miles and under $70k and have narrowed it to the S550 4matic, Audi S8, or possibly a used BMW Alpina B7 xdrive. I frequently drive long distances (Richmond VA to Litchfield CT) in all weather so having awd is a must. So far the S550 4matic is in the lead. Plan is to test them all out. Speed is fun , but I need it to be relaxing for 8+hr drives and very snow capable.
"You can also turn the instrument from MPH to KMH if you want to pretend that you are going faster" That would be the same as if i would change my temperature from celcius to fahrenheit to "pretend it is hotter outside". Makes no sense :P
Do more POV videos of the S class. They're really entertaining to watch and give you an inside look on what is like owning a machine such as the Mercedes.

Hey Parker, When you talk about any screen in a vehicle, like in this video, you say the S550 has incredible graphics, I understand saying that the screen has a great resolution instead of Graphics, I prefer you saying Resolution, everytime you say Graphics, I remember someone talking about a new game or something, but that's your way of interpreting it, not judging Parker, just a slight twitch, Love your Videos Man, Keep Up More M5 Videos
What a great review. I'm trading my E350 in for one of these in a couple of years once the used prices go down. Your review gave me much to look forward to since I love all the technology packed into the new S class.
Personally i would have gotten a Porsche Panamera GTS, similar pricing... And it's a Porsche... Also has a Burmester sound system just like the S550. However, it does lack the radically cool ambient lighting, which is a big part of why you chose this car and why i'd consider it as well.
You mentioned “ that’s German engineering for you “ that the center console opens from both the left and right side. FYI : Infiniti had that in 1997 Q45 sedan.
Is there any quicker way to adjust the climate control settings? I would say that it's cool and innovative, but in my 20k Scion tC, you simply adjust a knob and it takes 2 seconds (not fancy, but simple), whereas this car seems like the climate control would be dangerous to operate while in motion.
In future videos can you starting using the camera angle that you took the thumbnail in? I think its cool to be able to see the road and the whole interior all at the same time.
i have a question about the car, when you went outside did the colored led's automatically turn off or did you turn them off? are they too light to be seen in daylight?
i like your videos they are cool, but on the comment about the litlle glove box in the middle of the consol how it opens to each side, you said german engenired, the 2005 lincoln town car signature has the same thing, just a little thing you know lol
actually the C and E class do have the star, at least in the exclusive exterior option which looks a billion times better than avantgarde or AMG exterior imo...
Does anyone know if it would be possible to replace the steering wheel in an S550 Sedan, with the one from the Coupe? It's not so much that I hate the steering wheel, but the Coupe's just looks nicer
Hey Man, Ive seen a good amount of your videos and i appreciate the quality of the reviews. I noticed that you are also in A2. Id love to check out your rides and maybe go on a cruise. I am a fellow car enthusiast as well. I am a bit jelly of the lambo and would love to see it in person. Let me know if your down. PS- Cops are always out on Packard! lol
I have 2015 S550 , love it … it’s my daily driver , and it’s all I could ever wish in a car … I bought it used with 80K miles for $29K …
Good buy enjoy it

I agree :). Hope you are enjoying your S550 as much as I am!
Exactly... Like I could probably afford purchasing a Subaru Forester XT at best but right now I'm looking at leasing an E350 sedan (still in the market, I'm kind of torn between my brand loyalty with MB and with going for a Lexus RX450h)
how much a month do you pay to lease the 550?
Leasing is actually smarter you pay less don't pay for maintenance, and don't lose money when car is 4 years older and you want the new version. Only sucks if you go over mileage. Kids act like leasing is bad well okay get your credit to 750 and lease a car.
Would take an S600 or S600 Maybach rather than a rolls if i'm honest.
Saw a S600 Maybach in NYC recently. Freakin loved it
I would take the maybach for its luxury and a rolls for suicide doors
Sitting in a phantom is a much more special experience than a maybach. Despite not having nearly as much technology as the maybach, the meticulous attention to detail and hand assembled materials delivers comfort at a different level
+Doctor Ferdinand True
+Doctor Ferdinand there's no comparison with a Rolls Royce really. U couldn't have said it better
Cabin noise is so quiet, it's scary.
I dont know about you buy I HATE that. i love being able to hear my vehicle
all new cars seem to be like this
+onlylikenerd Thank you I thought I was the only one, but it's just the way new generation cars are now.
Desmond Anderson It sucks. I currently drive a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins diesel, and my dad bought a 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 and I drove it and oh my God I absolutely hate it. You can't hear the vehicle at all. Even though it's a great vehicle, it's not my style.Too too quiet
+Billy Bob it's an s550. Not all cars are like this.
"When it's cold out" and you live in Michigan so yep that's all the time lol Also had to add, it was neat the F-150 gave you the perfect example of having to manually stop at a light.
Ay! How's the trip to Mexico going?
It's not cold in the summer time.
Thanks for that review. Literally the missing piece I needed to make my decision. Gracias!
Fantastic as always. Nothing beats a good POV. Would love to see more night ones. Keep up the good work
porn pov
Of course you'd like a good POV..
He's right with the sound , and the feeling of relaxing and driving. It's a amazing experience only a high end car can give...
Please do more POVs, you do them awesomely!
The S-Class is the most comfortable car to drive and the airmatic that scans the road is crazy! How ever I had the New E-Class on test drive over the last weekend and it was really amazing as well, so much improvements compared last two versions W211 & W212 that me and my wife has got.

Can you do a video on what it's like driving Eddie's mustang in torrential rain with traction control off?
Next video: 6,456,432,565,324 things we hate about the Mustangs crash safety
+UnsyNZ LOL
I just bought a 2014 S550 about three weeks ago, this was a helpful video - thanks!
I think it's so cool to see a person with a successful TH-cam channel drive around the city I live in
I had the W221 & it almost had the same feeling to this car, unique & classy asf
just drove though downtown AA, a few hours before watching this, talk about déjà vu.
You need to take that car on a road trip. We have a CLS550 Mercedes and it is fantastic on long road trips. These cars were made for that sort of thing.
Awesome video, can we see a scream test video for the sound proofing? :)
Guys should check out what Jag has just developed for navigation, safety and almost everything u need guidance of without ever having to touch a button or look down at screens or dashboard.
Video idea: 5 things we love that will probably no longer function on the S class in 10 years.
Well, by that time it will be a 15k car.. lol typical Mercedes
Nobody who spends $120,000 on a car keeps it for 10+ years and if they do and want something replaced and can afford a car this expensive they'll be able to fix it no problem.
I’m sure everything will work flawlessly on your Rondo in 10 years 😂😂😂
Best car in the world!
but how and why do you own this car
cause led bro
It's on lease from what I can remember
Its on lease and he pays it with his youtube money
thanks yall
he also bought his lamborghini gallardo. he invested in tesla many years ago.
your channel is an exemplification of the masses desire to vicariously live through the rich.
This video is a real treat! You should do this format more often
Well. Like you said with the window wipers its pretty much the same like our car right now. 2001 E-Class mercedes benz. Saloon. And you have to hold it in for the washer fluid and it'll also activate the window wipers.

I love how this car has so much technology, and yet he still loves the double sided opening arm rest

You should do a comparison in terms of speed between your S550 and the Gallardo.
Gallardo is dead
what happened? video link pls
+MrHeksas he hasn't uploaded a video about it because of insurance but it was crashed when someone drove it on the rally while he was in a huayra

+mpdpr1 I was actually referring to the graphics and animations, like in video games, and not the clarity and pixel density
Thanks for the clarification, Parker
+mpdpr1 not to be rude or anything of the sort..but if you know what he means, why feel the need to hyper-analyze his wording...?
i have a 2004 s500 and i love love love it
Do what's like seating in the back in a s class !
His s550 doesn't have the rear seat package
+Lars van Driel (wasabbijoebobby) I know but still
lol he has back seats
keekue12 LOL
great video! keep up the good work.
The S class is my favorite of the whole mercedes lineup, besides the amg gts but thats a sports car. I also like the amg versions of the S class.
This was an awesome video. Today's luxury cars have so much technology it's hard to even know everything they can do
Thanks for the video, full of useful information.
How are you recording if both of your hands occupied?
He has either a head cam or a shoulder cam
+sideswipe778 ok thanks.
+Antonio D Galves he has a gopro on his head. He says it at 11:42
That's why it's called POV= point of view film with a head cam as if you were there hence POV
dumbass
Is this beautiful automobile your own? If so, you Sir are winning at life
he leases it, although he owns a BMW M5 and a first gen Lamborghini Gallardo
You mean his father is winning at life.
What a great review. I'm trading my E350 in for one of these in a couple of years once the used prices go down. Your review gave me much to look forward to since I love all the technology packed into the new S class.
Did you buy one?
Nice car I just bought one it’s way way way better than the bmw 7 series of that year it’s like a spaceship at night.
Great Job!! Do more videos about the S550!
Distronic plus... seems like something almost every car should have with traffic!
Personally i would have gotten a Porsche Panamera GTS, similar pricing... And it's a Porsche... Also has a Burmester sound system just like the S550. However, it does lack the radically cool ambient lighting, which is a big part of why you chose this car and why i'd consider it as well.
Chevy trucks have had that dual hinged center consol since 1998
really like it, good decision getting it!
I bought the new S500 coupe love it sooo much :)
So I would really like to see a E60 M5 city driving and in depth review of living with it. That be real nice
Is there a lot of play in the steering wheel? It's usually better for it to be very sensitive like in a sports car... Makes it easier to drive
love that it was shot in MI
hey parker can u make a video about how the 4matic on the s550 works ? and how the speed distribution is made?
Question: why didn't you go for the S550 Coupe?
I got an idea for a video! Give the S class to me! That's it, that's the video.
Can you make a video about the dual screen vision stuff? Like your vision seeing the car stuff and passenger seeing a movie or something?
Do you think you could make a video on how the adaptive LED headlamps work at night?
You guys need to review a tesla
Can you make a video on S Class maintenance? Cost of major/minor service, fuel cost, tyres, cost of lease, cost/month?
This car defines luxury!
Shoot I just watched this video and didn't realize it was 21 minutes long lol
You mentioned “ that’s German engineering for you “ that the center console opens from both the left and right side. FYI : Infiniti had that in 1997 Q45 sedan.

Having go pro on your face is totally legit, look forward Mr.regular.
Bluetooth is clearest, most high quality way to listen to music in the modern day.
very nice video I enjoyed it
I watch this while high (weed) on my tv it was good a experience lol
make video of whats it like to drive a lamborghini aventador roadster pov
i have a question about the car, when you went outside did the colored led's automatically turn off or did you turn them off? are they too light to be seen in daylight?
i like your videos they are cool, but on the comment about the litlle glove box in the middle of the consol how it opens to each side, you said german engenired, the 2005 lincoln town car signature has the same thing, just a little thing you know lol

Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG Coupe- My dream Mercedes S.Waste of space in sedan when you drive alone of 90%time.
can you make video about your S550's performance??
Can you please do a review on 2015 ford expedition.. Hope you reply..
That’s a really cute looking town. Where are you driving?
You know whats definitely better than this? Getting chaeuffered around! lol.
What about a maintenance cost video for the s550?
What about a video on the self driving?
What if I'm driving from home to school, can it self drive infinitely and park by itself
Does anyone know if it would be possible to replace the steering wheel in an S550 Sedan, with the one from the Coupe? It's not so much that I hate the steering wheel, but the Coupe's just looks nicer
If your looking for a sports, luxury car, BMW's are the way to go.. If you just want luxury then this is what you want..
Are the seats real leather or leatherette, what about for the e class?
Give it the beans once or twice man.
You should do the same for multiple cars as a review, could be interesting
Smooth af
i would like to see the 2016 Camaro ss A/T, on your channel,.
You should include the quality of the sound systems in the reviews of cars more often
Hey it's Ann Arbor, MI!
Ah the good ol StreetGlow Mercedes Kit.
I LOVE YOU GUYS
Hey Man,
Ive seen a good amount of your videos and i appreciate the quality of the reviews. I noticed that you are also in A2. Id love to check out your rides and maybe go on a cruise. I am a fellow car enthusiast as well. I am a bit jelly of the lambo and would love to see it in person. Let me know if your down. PS- Cops are always out on Packard! lol
Road trip test!
"It's actually really good... (screaming)DIAL NUMBER!!!"
Can you try and hit a pedestrian so I can see how the car intervenes?
I would love to see more of these videos, but it would have been much better if you got an external mic so we can actually see how quiet t is inside!
And now, Im actually missing my Mercedes which have its transmission repair at the workshop right now. It have been 2 weeks! *sad*
when you accelerate does it push you back in the chair?
it my favourite car of all time
You should drive for uber for a day n record people reacting to the interior
When your lease is up are you gonna get another S550?
Couldn't you start a series? Would love to see something like roadkill
