FIAT-Fix It Again Tomorrow
oh god, its the new top gear :(
They’re just something about these. You know they’re not well built. You know they’re probably going to be unreliable. But it’s just gorgeous and none of that really matters.
W221 best s class
Is actually looks like top gear without Jeremy Clarkson James May and Richard Hammond
Frage: Was ist das für ein geiler Ambiente Sound ab ca 2:48 min bis zum Schluss dann Star Guitar von Chemical Bros. einsetzt? Würde mich schon seit Jahren interressieren. Würde mich sehr freuen wenn es jemand erkennen und darunter posten könnte :D
Hi there,any comment on the dual logic transmission on 1.4 engine? Anyone?
Yes. It is a piece of utter shit. My family owns one since 2009. With the 1.4. Aaand... It broke 4 times. FOUR!!! And it is slow, and it wont downshift when going up a hill untill the engine is at 1000rpm or lower. What I have in mind to do is to swap it to a manual and get that DualStupid thing out the way... For the rest... It's a great litle car.
I've owned lots of small Fiats, from 127 Sports to Punto Abarths..........a shit road test from someone who clearly doesn't get the idea of feisty little road hogs with a quirkiness that we love.......Yes FIAT are marmite, but that's what makes them great little cars
12 year
Fiat punto gt with 2560 kill him eazy
TJET this is wonderfull
Stupidi tedeschi
Jesus ... its not a fiat punto abarth ... its abarth punto
This twat is talking utter bollocks! Fuck off you fat fuck.😡

W220 е най-чупливата С класа
A While Back I Was Going To Buy A W220 Mercedes-Benz Preferably A Black On Black Or Silver On Black One With AMG Sport Appearance Package Only But The W221 Is Affordable Now So I'm Going To Buy That One In The Future I Still Might Buy A 2005-06 W220 Depending On How Clean It Is Just To Have In The Stable Because I Still Desire That Body Style
Buy a Lexus LS. You won't be sorry, and you won't be bankrupt, either.
An old one might be cheap to buy but the tax and fuel won't be.
Just bought myself a 2009 Abarth Grande Punto 155BHP in red loaded with every extra there is ;)
Michael Noble I have a 1.9 fiat punto, modded, currently at 220bhp
How's she running for you? I got teh tjet model and love it to bits, recently had it remapped too, it's a pokey beast at 168bhp
I love my punto so much
The old one had rear massage as an option too
Not a good comparison, the w220 have massaging and heated too but he didn't use that one but good show
I was thinking of getting a 2000 version but after seeing these comments from 5 - 6 years ago saying don't do it I don't think I will. Haha Maybe Alfa Romeo 159 instead. Also, of course he can tell the new one easily. Probably just from the smell alone.
As with all so called " motoring journalists” this one shows his pure ignorance many times in this video. Complaining about the dashboard materials is a favourite of plonkers like him. It’s a hot version of a low priced small hatchback and this buffoon would prefer a Lexus quality dash . And then all Fiats are like French cars without any qualification at all. Does he even care ? This is bloke should be selling iphone cases …. not talking with fake authority about one of the great european carmakers.
The W221 is clearly superior to the W220. Would be more interesting to compare a W140 600 with ADS suspension vs. an S600 with ABC.
Driving my 2007 S350 is like sipping a fine wine. But after 6 months ownership have had a huge bill for repairs to suspension. May sell it, but driving anything else is a step back to mediocrity. So expensive to run (26mpg locally, 32mpg motorways). This car is driving me mad! Will put off decision until September.
You should have bought a 2009+. They are better cars.
What did you decide to do?
W140 is the great mercedes ever, not the W220
W140 look old and boring
I drove RO08VAK yesterday and I can safely say that it is still a fun little car! 👍🏼
I used to own a 2007 S550 and I own a 2000 S500 now. I can tell you by personal experience that this video is true! If you want the S Class ride quality, you’re better off getting a W220 (2000-2006). If you want the quality + gadgets get the W221 (2007-2013).
Which one better ?
I now own this exact test car 😂
no one likes fifth gear u dont know anything about cars
I choose Mercedes for their safety I choose Mercedes for their comfort I choose Mercedes for their comfort I choose Mercedes for their durability Mercedes Benz the seal of evocation .. the sky is the limit
you didn't say 'reliability', for obvious reasons.
Thats lexus motto benz cant have all can it?
Kamadev888 lolol
"If you drive a ferrari, maserati or even an alfa romeo, you're supposed to feel like you been gifted the heart of a ---------- beauty who's gonna love you forever, but despite their Italian breading, fiat have never quite had that emotive gift..." FIAT OWN AND MAKE ALL OF THOSE YOU FUCKING MORON!!!!
Anyone see the pagoda top drive by?
Never understood why people don't like the steering on the fiat punto, I love the light steering! Doesn't feel unresponsive at all
Same
I owned 4 punto:each one had problems with steering!suddenly it would remain completely blocked!
@@gypzino lol not with my 3 puntos
My Punto diesel has 170 hp 👍
esseesse model 1.4 turbo has 180+ bhp, beat a shitty diesel any day
Chill fuck head.
Heavy as fuck also, not as good suspension or steering or braking neither, you’d never keep up with an abarth
@@madadz69 I know one 1.9 that had full Abarth suspension and it would shit on most of the Abarths
@@miralemnermina142 i know one abarth that had 440hp it would butt fuck all yall any day
what is the reggae called, starting at 2:23 ? THX
S320 CDi is best...47.9mpg on a run even at 70mph no problem. My 2001 runs like new. I paid 3k bargain! 90k. Miles when I bought it. Now 135k still drives amazing. Just bought a 2010 s350L awesome...
It comes with big brakes and buckets from standard, the eseseseses wheels look amazing! If it had more power.. say 220bhp, this would go down in hot hatch history!
Joe Spencer no point giving it that much horsepower, because unless your on a track it can't be used!
My mate had a TD04 turbo fitted to his and different injectors and made 250 👀👀👀
I LOVE FIAT ABARTH
I bought one of that yesterday.. It's fantastic, faster than my mind, and it looks like a rally car
A-list celebrity. LMAO 99.9% of the population has never heard of him. He should have been blindfolded for the duration of the entire tests. What a waste of time watching this. But point taken with regard to the value of the W220, and even now, 8 years after this video was posted, they are practically free. I've seen them for as little as $3k.
It has awful airmatic-system. The W221 has much better.
Awful? It's hardly awful, in fact, it's wonderful. They ride very similarly, and AirMatic is a lot less expensive to repair than ABC. I went out and bought one after watching this video. It has the perfect ride, IMO, and beautiful road feel. So quiet too. I'm impressed.
the base abarth is painfully slow, 155 hp is simply not enough for these big and heavy cars. It is not a hot hatch, the only car that can make use of such small engine and poor power is the 500 abarth and that one (the 160 hp) is not fast, it just feels fast. They should stop calling these hot hatches, they're not hot, for that, you need at least 2.0 turbo and 200 hp minimum
relax your little dickus Mr. Hamilton who need a v8 engine to just go to starbucks and get a takeaway.. 155hp is just enough for most of the people, no one is racing on fucking roads, if you want that go to the track and get humiliated by AMGs.
mikecustoms lol ever been in one? Beats a golf vr6 anyday and wil go mad in corners
A List?
this cars now for sale on auto trader
The value is so low because of depreciation and its notorious awful reliability. Electronics fail on the W220, it has vacuum leaks, its air suspension had problems, and the transmissions were not as reliable as they should have been. However, if you find one with low miles, history and list of services, and find one that appears to have been well taken care of and not abused on a daily basis, it's a steal.
agree
Buy a facelifted model, 2003 or newer. Most issues were resolved. Change the airmatic and smog pump relays under the hood. They can stick closed and cause the pumps to run continuously and burn out. Ask me how I know.
I own it a 2000 model (600 long wheelbase) ...its the best car on the world
the w140 s600 was the best car and real mercedes saloon they ever built. the w220 was just a rust bucket. sell it and get a w221 at least
Arlind86 when i was young man...i had w140 (coupé)... ..if i found a very beautiful model..but IN LONG SEDAN (same v12engine) I buy it... i love only 15/25years car...w221 . Two uncles own and i use it.. very great car. Its true. But my w220 hav no problem. And no excess fuel consomation... it do good job in good comfort
Arlind86 or..another w140 il perfect contition...or two! For w221price i can buy a Saloon sel600 and coupé sec600 ..and a very good engine upgrade for this second....
Arlind86 its very Sad to have rust in a modern full size luxury german car.....(on mine had just a little rust point in down of rear left door. A car in tempered park box..but its treated now before my all new black epoxy paint)....bu its incredible.and creasy this rust...for exemple..my"all days car" a 2000 model peugeot 607 v6 3.0 ..16 years on street with rain,snow.etc etc... have no rust paint look 5 years max...but its original 16years paint...!!!!.leather smell good like a new car ! .. my A8 is better...all aluminium... lol
Like Jerremy Clarckson says "rubish" U can get a BMW 7 series E65 for that amount of money and BMW is 100 times better and better looking as well, just look at the dash board in the merc its like from the 80's, BMW still looks awesome, even today BMW turns heads ! ! !
Jeremy is the best. His favourite personnal cars are AMG.its good choice
+Robert Sandifer you are just a BMW fan and you hate on Merc because you are a fan boy of BMW...When you get a rine in a BMW or a Mercedes then you can talk...
Ajde yt kriminalcu ne seri vise. rekao sam ti sta sam imao. Sve sto si ti jeadan i bedan i sve sto mozes da uradis je da uzmes da mi prozivas majku a uzivo bi cutao, tako da idu u teretanu leci komplekse i cuti.
You wish😂

The difference between a old luxury car and a new luxury car is not in the material use, because I can assure you that they will both use the same premium leather and wood finishes. The difference is in the technology in the car. Luxury gizmo´s of today are not as much the wooden trim or size of the engine, but ultra HD screens in the back and the latest Bose audio system and those things get outdated really fast.
Mine 15 years old 600 w220 is better car than a all new 2015 6cylinder Sclass !!!! And i prefer an old W140 longwhelebase or coupé..WITH A V12 VS a new more affordable little engine new Sclass.....oldies "600" are swaggies cars
+Schnitzel Stephan Your right Quality does not change over. Cows skins do not get more "fancier" with every passing generation of luxury cars. It's basically the technology and performance. HOWEVER!! It's because of all those electronics and fancy gadgets that the cars depreciate very fast because those gadgets get outdated fast and the rich always want the best of right now, not yesterday. Also those gadgets will probably fail and cost you a bit of money to fix, that also adds to the depreciation.
