- The 2021 Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4MATIC+ ($139,777 CAD, ~$136,300 USD) has been facelifted for this year, and offers a tantalizing mixture of road presence and driving exhilaration. But in terms of value, this comparatively understated 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG only cost the owner ($25,000 CAD, ~$20,650 USD) earlier this year. Which would you choose? SUBSCRIBE!!!

The 2010 E 63 AMG makes you realize just how fast time flies.
Exactly
I remember thinking “man those cars will never be in my price range” here I am considering buying an e63 now haha time does fly
🥲
I still think my 2012 is new Lol ...
It’s crazy.
We are so spoiled by these world class intros
Just imagine what passerby's must have thought!! :D
Ah yes, Thomas humping James
I genuinely look everyday for new episodes just for the intros! They are epic! Everytime (=
true
I don't even know why they're doing these intros, tbh. They are so, so irrelevant to the rest of the videos.
Paying 25 grand would have been everyone’s choice, end of story.
But spending like 50k in repairs doesnt seem like fun
@@ihavenoideahelp5239 They aren't actually that expensive. Apart from the head bolt issues on the 6.2s they're actually fairly reliable. I think tyres will probably be the biggest expense😂
E55
@@benjaminwingchun9665 E55 is the answer. 100%.
Mine is still first owner.
@@sethborne E55 is life, they will gain insane value in the next 3 to 5 years
I remember when Richard Hammond reviewed this E63 on Top Gear 10 years ago… it’s such a machine and it aged so well
Repent to Jesus Christ
“rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death- even death on a cross!”
Philippians 2:7-8 NIV

@@snakeeyes9246 it was an 5.5 😂😂
@@MrMlbfan6 it’s the 6.2, watch the video.
@@MrMlbfan6 you sure bout that?
As a Mercedes Benz technician I can say it's rare for amg owners to even make it to 10k miles before they need all new tires. I had a guy come in the other day with his E63 and his front and rear tires were melted, I just asked him if he had fun. Then told him how much his new tires would be haha
What year?

How did you become a MB technician
I’ve wanted a 2010 E63 for so long mostly because I love that front end man that thing is gorgeous
@Michael Mazurczyk made it super easy to tell the models apart too. The recent designs are a mess.
@Michael Mazurczyk Maaaaaannnn im telling you. it feels like they just wannted to go SUPER round withthe car shapes like the S class but ended up making all the cars look alike. the CLS or CLA whatever its called is so pointless but its one of the fastest cars they got (and it looks like an S Class)
Save some money and get a 2013 E550 has a similar engine to that 2021 E63s the M278 motor (V8 BiTurbo) with a renntech flash, no aftermarket parts required can make 550hp and 705 lb ft torque and you just saved yourself like 10 grand.
Agree. Harking back to the w124 era, the angular, sharp shapes is how a Mercedes-Benz is supposed to look, in my opinion.
Maybe I’m getting older but I think the 2010 styling better than the 2021. If I could have the motor and technology from the new gen and put it in the old gen body be awesome.
personally, the aesthetics of the old model is incomparable. it's gorgeous.
Theyre both ugly

Been driving my 2009 SL63AMG Since the day I bought it. 94,000 Miles, tires cost a lot, but other than regular maintenance, only $4,000 has been spent in 11 years for broken parts. I change the oil every 6,000 miles, but it was a great investment, $135,000 in 2009, and when I get gas, people still think it's a $135,000 car. I won't sell it for $50,000, I just love it that much. The M156 motor is the last of the great V8's. I will never again be able to buy a 550 HP NA V8 Motor, that sounds like a 427 Cobra, with MB SL Quality.
DAMN! Don't sell it
I bought my 2010 E63 in 2014 with 34,000 miles. I crossed 60,000 in November 2021. It’s a wonderful car, everything you want: great around town, great on the highway. And I like the look of it more than I do the new E cars. I’m just hoping that the head bolts hang in there-that was a problem with this engine.
Just replaced mine at 64k there was definitely corrosion glad I did it.
I’ve had my 2010 E63 since 2016, 189,000 miles now!
Ahhh … the pleasure & pain of our much loved car anxiety.
Do you have a bunch of cars? 2750 miles a year is literally a 10th of the average American driver

2010 looks 100,000 times better. I LOVED the look of the squared-off Mercedes lineup from this time. Im keeping my W204 til the wheels fall off. Even then ill probably keep it lol. One of these days im gonna get an SL from the same time period
I work at a Benz dealership. I'll tell you now, if I had the money for a new E63, I'd buy the W212 and fix it up. That's not to say I don't like the new E63 Biturbo V8 model, but the older car feels so raw, and that's what I like in a performance car.

This is sooooo insane video quality in every aspect. Damn...
The content on this page is unmatched. You guys have some serious talent and Everytime I watch the videos, gets my heart racing. Sometimes I don't even watch it for the cars, but the banter and content is just phenomenal. Well done boys!!

Reading the comments brought tears to my eyes. The W212 E 63 is ever so graceful and endulges with the true essence of it's heritage. The 2010 AMG has aged SUPERBLY!! This generation of Mercedez came with a bang!! The proof is in the pudding, and the proof is in the 6.2 V8's!!!! Can we even talk about the design language... I mean man... this car has aged SO WELL!!!! This is inclusive of its group!! I wish I could take it back to 2010 when that older generation was the state of the art. That N/A engine and it's raw sound is just eye catching!! 🥲🥲 What a marvel and being able to understand and be apart of the generational change, but I will stay stuck in the 2010 gen!! C-Klasse, E-Klasse, ML-Klasse please😍😍
My first car was a used 2012 E550 and it was a dream! It’s 2023 now and I’m STILL contemplating getting a THIRTEEN year old E63. 🤦🏾♂️
Just did exactly that. Will say, I miss my column shift and not sharing my arm rest with my cup holder. But it's still a beast
I love these new vs old videos.
I’d love to see a 2003 Cayenne Turbo vs 2021 Cayenne Turbo
How about the 2022 Golf R vs R32 Mk5?
Old vs New Acura NSX
Old vs new Boxster

Honestly guys, you are one of the few channels where I will watch the whole video start to finish as you seem to know when to change the subject to keep the video interesting. I love the structure of them. Not many channels do that - keep it up!
This was a great review! I need a new AMG in my life.
This car review was hilarious 😂, great job. The most creative one I've ever seen, keep it up. 💯
The w212 model is the last great design for the e-class, the angles were insane and it didn’t look like all the other models

Yea the 2014 W212 is the best of all
It seems that over the two years I’ve been watching Throttle House, the commentary has gotten better and better. More descriptive. More intelligent and relatable. There’s both the perspective of someone who is incredibly familiar and competent and familiar with high performance mixed in with the common average guy. The entertainment value just keeps going through the roof. Couple that with the Extra channel and the fun you guys have with the F12 and the like? I can’t stop coming back for more.
Wow that means a lot thank you so much!
Just want to say I love your videos, guys! Thanks for the great content and the laughs.
Great video guys, on my favorite gens of these cars. Great all around review, so well done. Great editing and writing
Someone’s been teaching James how to corner drift.
yes the e63 taught him. its just that easy and natural with the e63
It was about time.
I just saw the new E class today and was shocked.
I drove the new s class last week and I was mesmerized
I seen a C63 sedan awhile back and I was captivated
I was a W205 C-class a months ago and I was discontinued
I saw a dog and I was outside.
I opened my eyes and I saw .
Great video! Keep living your best lives, you guys deserve it. 😁
Thank you for being innovative with your intros. Makes me watch it
The old one looks so good. That new Merc design language only works for me on the AMG GT.
"They're just so creeking good" 👀
I own a 2010 e63 and the seat belt buckle rubs against the seat and makes a horrible creeking noise which is probably what he’s talking about 😂
Just picked up a 2011 E63 the other day for $25,000 with 80k miles. Best decision ever, has every button and feature that all still work. And the roaring m156 never gets old. Awesome video guys 👏🏼

The creeks are real though, LMBO. I love driving it everyday and I’m definitely looking forward to my 2018-19 upgrade to an E63s super saloon. Keep em coming fellas, your videos are awesome!

Getting such Top Gear editing vibes from this, its gold! :D
What an incredible video! The cinematography on this one is out of the world!! Really knocked it out of the park with this one! Crazy work folks!
I've watched the old vs new C63 video nearly 10 times, so glad you guys made one for the E63!
I found my all new favorite car review channel.
Best video in a while!
...that scene at @16:38 with the '20 E63s and the '10 E63 drifting simultaneously, SENDS CHILLS.
Glad to see a home-grown CZcams blogger that puts so many to shame; well produced, great photography, quick cuts, good sound and top-notch editing. The production values are of equal to BBC's Top Gear. Well done!
One of the best videos i ever watched
You guys are a lot of fun not just cars. Love your Videos
Y’all are just champions.
Thank you for the awesome content that rivals those of the greats
The W212 E63 has to be one of my all time favourite cars. Was so happy I got mine last year, got the more modern look and interior but still
Kept the M156, love it.
That wholesome moment when they both come into frame on the corner… that United all car lovers with chills
Honestly it doesn't cost much more to maintain it than any other luxury vehicle. I have had 2010 E550 (V8) for 6 years now. Just normal maintenance. I turned off all the electronic features (lane assist, memory steering wheel/seats, stuff like that) because i know electronics in these cars go wrong. The steering wheel motor that moves it up and down went bad and i haven't replaced it since i don't even move the wheel.
The only other issues i've had is that after pushing the car for a few weeks one summer, the pulley/serpentine belt started to make noise which i was disappointed with. I thought german engineering would be better then that. So I have to replace that, it's not bad but it's something.
And brake line got rusted and started leaking. Understandable because i'm in Canada but still....after 10-11 years, these cars shouldn't get that rusty that brakes are compromised. I don't even drive it much in winter/snow.
Apart from that, just regular maintenance. I know the air suspension can go bad and leak, but from all my research that was mostly from people going over hard bumps consistently, so i try to avoid bumps/potholes or go over them slowly.
LASTLY, gas consumption is definitely more in city but highway drive it's not bad at all. My avg consumption after 6 years is 12.5L/100 Km (shows in the car). It's about 2x more than the new cars now that average 6-7L/100 KM.
Then again, this car is not my daily driver. So ultimately, you have to know why you're buying such a car and have to research what problems can go wrong with it. If it's your daily driver and you are going to put lots of mileage on it, then obviously prepare to spend a lot on gas and maintenance.
I got a good deal on it 6 years ago and if i was to sell my car now, i can recover 60-70% of the car cost (not the repair, gas & maintenance cost obviously that's sunk cost).
I hope this comment helps someone.
Clearly people are scared to own cars like these but if you do your research and budget for the car , you will be fine.
Take advantage of the fact nobody wants to own these older cars and find yourself an older E550/63 or a CLS550 etc. The older V8's are very cheap cars now. They are selling for as much as older honda accords here in Canada. It's crazy the perception of people on cars like these and the fear of "gas consumption".
The gas consumption compared to an older V6 sedan or especially a V6 SUV, is like 15% more.
I might screen shot ur comment cus ut has good info in these cars
Yeah the E500 are great and a lot cheaper than E63 AMG, because almost everything costs 1,5x times more on E63 than E500
“….without me looking like Jack Sparrow”
Uh, that’s CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow
You guys have the best intros!!
I love shorting the stocks HAHA. Excellent review!
I enjoyed this video a lot even made me smile. Thank you very much.
W212 pre facelift looks so muscular 💪. Wish the m156 didn't have the head bolt and cam issues would've been an amazing car
@M1ATA56 AMG m156 was only in the w212 for 2006-2011 and only 1 year they got it right. It was a poorly designed engine because in 2012 and onward they used the m157 and kept the 63 badge. The cams wear out way too fast on these cars no matter the year of engine which will cause lifter issues. Sounds amazing but again poorly designed. W212 e550 carrying the m278 with a tune would blow the doors off the 06-10 AMG. And ya I agree with you, pre facelift all the way. W222,w213,and w205 all look the same it's a shame

No words for this video... Felt like I had enough Biriyani(my fav meal) . I know that sounds crazy but what I mean is that I am so happy and satisfied watching this video.. I can really FEEL THE CAR from Thomas and James. This channel is so good as AMG.
Thank you so much guys..
Love ❤ you both
Great channel. Especially old vs. new.
If you ever stumble across a C215 CL600 or CL65 AMG (I know you prefer naturally aspirated engines, but the V12 bi-turbo is a monster), an old vs. new with the new S Class Coupé would be fantastic.
6.2L is the best engine.
Not before they fixed the head bolt issue. If I’m not mistaken any 6.2 under 2012 has head bolt issue... it’s a matter of time unless it was addressed earlier. My friend owned an s63 back in 09 and had to get a new engine under warranty.
5,5 is way better

Nice review. As much as I like the new E63 I would probably take the old one. Other than having a little less power, older tech, and not having all wheel drive it is still an awesome car. Getting one that is properly serviced is a great bargain.
Rear wheel drive only is a feature, not a flaw
