Love how you guys show the outside of the car while driving and talking. Way more entertaining than just looking at people talk from the inside the whole time lol
This channel needs to grow 10x faster. Such great, informative content, very cool and suave reviewers, and videos are perfect length for each's respective content. Love you guys, keep it up. More comparisons!! New vs old NSX, Z06 vs 911, Viper vs GT3, or Miata vs BRZ, please?
@James Engelsman first off go to bed. Secondly, thank you for responding. Legit didn't zee that coming.. if you make over $500k/yr you're on the 1%. You're one of the good ones tho
The quality of your videos continues to increase! Very pleased with how far you've come in the last year. I hope you triple your subs in the next 6 months. You deserve it. Great review.
I’ve been a car enthusiast all along and I’ve had the opportunity to have and drive many cars. I recently purchased a CLS 2015 from a friend at a very decent price. I wasn’t ott at the beginning on my purchase but now having it 8 months, the CLS is one the most amazing cars: from driving turning cruising etc; For me it more so than a s class in overall practicality: have my eyes on a 53 amg:
Actually the old CLS w219 was a piece of crap. I hated everything about it. After 2 years of owning it, it was literally falling apart. Traded it in for my current 2015 w212 and the E class blows it away in almost everything. IMO all the newer MB are much better built and reliable than the older ones.
@@QuanPham-uq7ml - I fully understand. The W219 is actually only a W211. Of course, the W212 beats it easily. And you even had the facelift of the W212.
those intros have potential to turn into netflix series. (!) i always click to learn about your thoughts on cars but intros always steal the show, now i cant focus on the cls because this car turned into golddigger bait in one selfie in my mind :P -and on top of that the catch is thomas!
I would buy it. I know that the V8 isnt available for the CLS but I think that the driving experience that you get with the new engine and this new technology that Mercedes uses might make up for it.
Great car. I had the old original version of this car and it was awesome. Real head turner. The air matic worked really well and much better than my 2011 E550. Here is the opportunity for someone to make a comment about how to make it a little more firm in both modes. No complaints about the new car just not as good handling wise as the old car.
Please review the CLA 45 AMG, its the fastest 4 cylinder engine in the world and i know you have some comparison videos but i think it deserves a full review
Great review. If I did win the lottery, the simple fact that a straight six has better balance than a V8, gives pause for thought before defaulting to the V8 AMG.
Thank you! It's about time someone called MB out for their uncomfortable interiors. Any luxury saloon at this price range should have soft touch materials throughout (particularly in areas where your knees or arms may rest) instead of hard leather, plastic or metal trims.
Bought mine a few months ago. Only critiques: rear headroom, lack of rear usb, seat comfort, apple carplay navi is better, rear sunshade isn’t worth the visibility loss. Aside from that its so much fun to drive. I tend to take the long way home just to enjoy every second of the drive
13:20 Thomas: "Yo can you turn my massage on?" James: *proceeds to physically massage Thomas* "...oh from the thing..." Thomas: *looks at the camera all creeped out* :D :D
I like to call myself a bmw guy, but this car is absolutely beautiful. It has so many cool features, the screens are amazing, and the ambient lighting is just so nice. I need it
Nope no interms of Power Delivery, sure they are smooth. Boosted Inline 6 can be Laggy as hell if you realy push the preasure to make big power. This has both Mild Hybrid & Electric Supercharger to get off the line. It's that mild hybrid system which is amazing combo a 3.0L I6.
Allen Marais i have lol, sounds like crap. Been in cls 53, c43, gle 43 coupe, as well as s63, g63 and myself have v8 clk 500 so i know the sound difference
The CLS is actually the only Mercedes I am interested in .. could you do a video on the 450 version .. I find it hard to justify 11,000 plus in Canada for a 0.3 seconds less getting to 100 kph and 15 ft-lb of torque .. I love the straight 6
Not sure what you decided but if the difference is only 3/10ths to 60….then outside of that special AMG feel and exhaust sound…not sure why you should spend that difference. But whatever you decided I’m sure it’s been fantastic.
450 Better choice, they discontinued the 53 because it barely sold. Not much performance difference, you don't feel the difference but just a lil stiffer but 450 lot smoother
This may replace my E, Just saw one of these lowered with same wheels all black simply breathtakingly. I just wish the panoramic roof where available on these.
Really nice looking car and the engine sounds awesome in power delivery methods... the auto bolsters in the SL something I drove like 3-4 yrs ago were “oh cool, that’s new” but seems like it would annoy me pretty fast.
HAHA. 10:19 Right after they said "It is not a coupe!!! It is a sedan mhhmhhmhh (hysterical laughing)" They sat down in the back and said "Oh dear, this is a problem, I actually can't sit upright" LOL. It's because it it a COUPE!!!
What a beautiful car. For folks who only have occasional back seat passengers, the sloping “coupe” roof line probably wouldn’t worry much about rear seat headroom.
@8:34 "It looks like a mazda" ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?😳 You must be dizzy or blind. I actually dare throttle house to do a comparison between a mazda 6 and this CLS. This comment is unforgivable. There has to be consequences for comments like this.
Wow calm down bro, as a owner I have to say the new CLS53 looks a little bit ordinary and you can find some similar design elements on other brands cars. Mazda is good looking car btw.
1. Your intros and outtakes are 👌🏼 2. After that C pillar the CLS looks like the designers ran ran out of clay. 3. I'd rather an A class hatch.... 4. Good job guys. As you find more success don't start ONLY reviewing cars the rest of us can't have. Last.... 13:31 😂
According to Mercedes Canada website, this car costs roughly 14K more than a comparably equipped E 53 AMG . That E Class would have a more practical rear seat. Do you think it's worth the extra cost for the good looks?
Hydra Law just because you have a highly depreciating piece of junk that has a stiff ass suspension doesn’t mean you get to come at others people hard work.
I’d buy a 2 door “Real Coupe” all day long…. All the 2 door coupes I’ve seen lately are beautiful and so clean looking… of course the color combo is super important to looking clean….
I am actually amazed, it sounds pretty good! Been a while since I have heard a good sounding six with any other type of assistance (turbos) - save the BMW 335i (e90)
Lmao that intro was everything guys, cat fished
Liked/thumbs-up after the intro, before viewing the car review...
@@phineastbirdpocket1126 I won’t
Throttle House, Straight Pipes, Motormouth... Canadians are killing it in the car review game. Who else? I want more!
kimchee411 definitely keep motormouth out of that list. That guy is a dead beat
Have you hear about carwow???
savagegeese and carfection are great as well
Savagegeese!
kimchee411 but man really these guys have the best intros ever
Love how you guys show the outside of the car while driving and talking. Way more entertaining than just looking at people talk from the inside the whole time lol
This channel is the closest you can get to the trio (Jeremy, James and Hammond) on the old top gear. Love how honest you guys are when reviewing cars.
The only thing missing is a 'James May' for them to both pick on.
This channel needs to grow 10x faster. Such great, informative content, very cool and suave reviewers, and videos are perfect length for each's respective content. Love you guys, keep it up.

Is cool that Mercedes has gone back to inline sixes.
Sounds like shite noe
Yes.
They claim they departed from the I-6s in 1999 because the size of the motor could no longer fit under the hood.
Christopher Lembra totally disagree

So you're saying that this car will pretty much guarantee me a tinder date? SOLD!!!
Grindr not tinder
Just keep the car and forget about the date. It's cheaper.
It'll guarantee a catfish. 😆
those intros have potential to turn into netflix series. (!)
i always click to learn about your thoughts on cars but intros always steal the show, now i cant focus on the cls because this car turned into golddigger bait in one selfie in my mind :P
-and on top of that the catch is thomas!
What do you expect to learn from a fake sport car review ?
milli pekmez and he didn’t even pay for dinner that night.
@@jamesengelsman9369 yeah that's the common behavior of golddiggers right? :)
Hmm love the interior and front end but i just cant get on with that rear.
Same I like the previous one better
Same opinion
Thomas and James your enthusiasm is great to watch and helpful to potential buyers. Thanks for rich descriptions of driving feel too. Ace vid!
Eliot Salandy Brown my dad told me never to trust a man with three names. But I’ll drop that rule for you Eliot. Thanks and lots to come this year!
I would buy it. I know that the V8 isnt available for the CLS but I think that the driving experience that you get with the new engine and this new technology that Mercedes uses might make up for it.
4:02 we are about to go bumper to bumper of this cls 53 amg!
This just popped in my head hearing the song lol
that’s what i was thinking
you are a man of culture
Great video! You do transitions very well. The new CLS is gorgeous, inside and out. Hnnngggg.
Throttle House review. Day just got better!

Why do you guys in North America ruin the look with those orange strips!

Damn, James and Thomas are just great - hope they never change
Intro is so lit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😂🤷♀️🤦♂️
I'm driving the c43 AMG right now and honestly this would be the next car I would buy right now
This video made me change my mind! I was going for the 2018 Audi RS7, but am now in the market for the AMG CLS 53. Thank you!
Wtf😂
I love how much fun you guys are having in the cabin. James taking control of Thomas Massage Seat. “It’s Like SEVEN Coffees!!!!”
Finish that software update I've been working on.....or watch Throttle House?
A man's gotta have priorities. The software will have to wait.
I just love the chemistry between James and Thomas.
Too funny.
Steering wheel is fantastic, love that kinda 3 part flatness
you have the best car review on youtube... trust me... thought its was the straight pipes but you guys are real!!!!!!
The CLS is a remarkable car...Great review.
"It's like someone in a hospital gown turns around!" -- Coffee ejected out of my nose phunny!!
Thomas Waving 👋 in the intro was so adorable lolololol
Boots N Pants it came a bit too naturally to him to hide behind a tree
That Intro got me 😂
this was the best one yet

Hey that’s my car! I’ve been looking for this video 😂
the sickest intro EVER ! :):)
You just got a new subscriber off that opening scene LOL!
Jeremy Roopnarinesingh welcome Jeremy!
The beginning of this video is HILARIOUS!
great production and content too.
I subscribed.
Keep it up, please.
😹😹”I have this massive revitalization going on right now”
Canadian humor is top notch. Got me down here in Texas cracking up. 😂😂😂😂
THE ONLY CAR I WOULD BUY WITHOUT QUESTION....
Inline 6 that is why the power is so linear.
Nope no interms of Power Delivery, sure they are smooth. Boosted Inline 6 can be Laggy as hell if you realy push the preasure to make big power. This has both Mild Hybrid & Electric Supercharger to get off the line. It's that mild hybrid system which is amazing combo a 3.0L I6.
And sounds like crap
Allen Marais i have lol, sounds like crap. Been in cls 53, c43, gle 43 coupe, as well as s63, g63 and myself have v8 clk 500 so i know the sound difference
Allen Marais i mean they dont sound crap no but its hard to compare v8 sound to v6
anthony mills this car doesn’t have the AMG exhaust.
Loool! I love your intros 😂😂😂😂
The CLS is actually the only Mercedes I am interested in .. could you do a video on the 450 version .. I find it hard to justify 11,000 plus in Canada for a 0.3 seconds less getting to 100 kph and 15 ft-lb of torque .. I love the straight 6

Wow they actually mentioned "Didn't doug say this is not the camera" when I was thinking that
Idc if I'm late. I've been watching your videos lately, and the intros are hilarious.
This may replace my E, Just saw one of these lowered with same wheels all black simply breathtakingly. I just wish the panoramic roof where available on these.
Best intro ever.... Congrats guys 🤣🤣
Might get this over a scatpack🔥
I also was not a fan of the 1st gen but recently the modern ones have grown on me. Especially the AMG V8's
The start of this video.... EPIC 😂
Great works guys hope you get the succes you strive for because you have great content! Keep the funny skits coming !!
a masterpiece of Mercedes that's the least I can say .. well done great review mates..
Huss Salman thanks Huss!
Really nice looking car and the engine sounds awesome in power delivery methods... the auto bolsters in the SL something I drove like 3-4 yrs ago were “oh cool, that’s new” but seems like it would annoy me pretty fast.
evanescent03 fortunately they are adjustable. I had them at max setting just for the novelty. But yeah potentially could get old
The absolute best intro ever guys 😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂this cracked me up
HAHA. 10:19 Right after they said "It is not a coupe!!! It is a sedan mhhmhhmhh (hysterical laughing)" They sat down in the back and said "Oh dear, this is a problem, I actually can't sit upright" LOL. It's because it it a COUPE!!!
Nice Vid! Like u a lot guys - greetings from Germany!
Greetings! Thanks for watching.
Nice to see Mercedes back embracing the Inline-6
That will force BMW to compete more!
Lysergic Casserole too bad the 650 gran coupe eats this thing alive with its V8 , even the old CLs couldn’t compete with the 6
Demolisher I mean compete with the inline 6's
What a beautiful car. For folks who only have occasional back seat passengers, the sloping “coupe” roof line probably wouldn’t worry much about rear seat headroom.
You just can't hate the intros 🔥 🔥 🔥
It is really a real AMG. I took a ride in it and it was EXTREMELY fast!
Did no one notice the same intro track from Donut's Bumper 2 Bumper at 4:01??
Sad that AMG GT 4 Door Coupe lessened its prestige Nice review
Is it just me, or did Mercedes design front headlights that remind me of a newer mustang GT?
I got the seat bolsters in my 06 E...love em
@8:34
"It looks like a mazda"
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?😳
You must be dizzy or blind.
I actually dare throttle house to do a comparison between a mazda 6 and this CLS. This comment is unforgivable. There has to be consequences for comments like this.
It's not an insult, cause the mazda is a good looking sedan
I guess he was just joking, because James owns a Mazda Miata.
Wow calm down bro, as a owner I have to say the new CLS53 looks a little bit ordinary and you can find some similar design elements on other brands cars. Mazda is good looking car btw.
I don't think there are enough, 2 guys reviewing cars on TH-cam in Ontario (cough thestraightpipes ). I think we need more. Lol
I love your intros lol I just watch it for your intros lol
I watch this over Magazines like Top Gear. Great channel man.
please do the LC 500 or RC F
Thanks! We really want to drive both of those. I’m positive you will see them in a video this year.
That sidestep and wave had me crying laughing. Well done boys
The intro is from another world 😂😂😂
The next bulletproof German 2JZ? Love the sound of a good straight 6
"Says its a coupe but a quick Google search will leave u confused on that one" lol
A great review for a great car!
