I can only imagine what that S-class coupe ride is like. I have an E-class coupe and it rides like a dream. It is such a different ride from the C-class.
Just got the same car, awesome review!
My dream car, congratulations!
I 100% agree with you. I was looking at many different cars like e92 m3, Porsche 911, Jaguar F type, M4, c63. However, i wanted something unique and that would stand out from the rest. I already had a c class sedan and was behind Mercedes due to their comfort and amazing drivability. So I went and got an 2014 cls 63s amg. This car is absolutely amazing and i am glad with my purchase.
Excellent review for a potential buyer like myself. Thanks!
Perfect review. One of the bast I've heard
Congratulations. A truly stunning car ,,, that original model has a stunning chrome splitter on the front end which you don’t get on a facelift model.
Such a rare car and only made for 5 years, so it’s booing to become a collectors piece. Stunning just stunning
Thank you couldn't be happier with the purchase
Love it. Thank you for sharing!
Your welcome glad you enjoyed it
Great review!! Thanks
I love your review
Looks great - my next car I hope!
Hey bro! How are you liking the car so far? Any issues at all? And how many miles are you currently at if you don’t mind me asking
i was thinking of an M4 or 911 but they just dont make sense when this exists. Why sit in cheaper interior when you get gapped by a guy in a s63 sitting in the best interior cars have to offer, plus that v8, its just a no brainer
Hands down one of the best reviews for this car. You made my mind up.
Thank you I appreciate that. I'm making a follow up video. I love the car however do not buy without a warranty. My warranty has paid out 22 k in repairs. Absolutely insanity
I may just have a lemon
Thanks for that update!!
Oh definetely not. And an extended mercedes warranty is a must I guess. @@JamesSalvatore
Maybe thats what happened. My 2017 AMG S63 Cab has been (knock on my wooden head) problem-free. I'm only at 16,000 miles, but so far not so much as a wobble. @@JamesSalvatore
I have the S63 Coupe and the thing rides like a rolls and in sport rides like a Continental coupe. It has the best of both of them into one. The high end stereo is the best I’ve ever heard in a vehicle. You have good taste my friend. Stay classy 😎
P.S. Bentley just doesn’t match up altogether. Wraith does luxury better of course but that’s where it ends.
I can only imagine that's what's next for me
If you do end up getting the AMG variant then at least make sure it comes with the high-end stereo , the carbon ceramics, and the designo upgraded upholstery. Also I won’t lie the magic sky roof is pretty damn cool too but certainly not a game changer🍻
As a e 53 coupe owner, s coupe is my dream car,I must say, for me s class + e coupe + c coupe = s coupe. I was a Audi wagon fan before, but s coupe turn me to Mercedes side. Porsche is nice , but I am not a big fan of it interior.
Congratulazioni. Questo è il tuo stile.
very helpful, thank you.
I have had 3 and let me tell you, the only way to own one is the S500 or S63 but only with the EVERY SINGLE option. Don't buy one without the 3D sound system of the base interior. If you buy a base the interior is only leather seating. The rest of the interior is MB tex. You are the only person that actually knows this. I laugh when I listen to people that actually don't know what they are talking about. The one to own if you buy a 550 is the Edition 1. It's has everything PLUS!!! Enjoy. I will keep buying them as long as I can find them with NO miles. I have had all mine tuned because the car isn't that powerful but once its tuned it's as fast as the 63 if not faster. I also have VIM done and I watch videos all the time. As for the pre-facelift, I find it as beautiful as any other, It's just a preference. The only downfall is you can't have a 550 and the newer upgraded infotainment but hey, it's still finer than 99% of any cars of the road. DO NOT change out the exhaust. If you use OETUNING they can fix the exhaust to sound like a 63. I've had 3 GT's and they aren't any greater and in fact will eat you alive in repairs after you are out of warranty. These cars are completely reliable. I always buy high end extended warranties but have NEVER had to use them, they will make your car worth more money at resale.
Thanks for the kind words I agree with everything you said thanks for sharing your experience! I agree with the edition 1 I couldn't get one on the east coast and I needed a car and couldn't wait
What warranty company did you use if you don’t mind me asking?
This is best looking car!excellent handle outstanding comfort car...
Uve had 3 from the 2015 models? Gahdamn that sound absurd! Were they giving you problems or something or u just wanted a different one every time?
Couldn’t agree more. Have the S63 coupe with every single option. Burmester high end, magic sky, carbon ceramics, driver assistance, split view, night vision, heated windshield, warmth and weather package, dynamica heated steering wheel, designo mocha black exterior, designo saddle brown interior, crystal headlights, and to top it off. Installed one of the invisible radar/laser detectors/jammers. Thing has been a dream to own. Plus it’s going up in used car value. Think people are starting to realize it’s most likely the last of an era (last of their flagship luxury coupes i mean). I’m not flexing here. Just love cars and love what this thing can do. Drives on clouds and is also just a monster with that 4Matic system and all that. Also, i didn’t know they even made the s coupe in the states with rwd
Edit: the upgraded burmester high end stereo is the best I’ve ever heard in my life
Well done vid broski, you definitely helped me make my decision 👊🏽👊🏽💯
Wait for my video tomorrow before getting it. This car was a basket case for me just dont do it
Oh damn for real??! I currently own a 2014 CL 550 that I bought about 5yrs ago with 30k miles. Since them Ive put thousands and thousands of dollars into it. I love it but its turned into a money pit. Was hoping to sell it and get the newer version just like yours sometime this summer. Cant wait to see your vid, thx!
It's up but yep I can see the cl being just as bad you know what your getting into then
Thank you for this video I've been car shopping for one and finally got to drive a couple coupes and im sold on the feeling. Coming from a m4 its a completely different ride.
Haha once you know you know, you have to drive one to understand it
Update i bought one and I love it
@@projectonedesigns How does it compare to the m4?
I'm very torn between this, 997 turbo manual and f type SVR. All 2nd hand with full dealer papers and maximum 30000 miles on them
@@eusdeenius ill make a video reviewing my s class, how kt compares to my m4. But in a short answer, its almost un comparable. It two completely different classes in the coupe world. You dont buy a sclass to do the things in M.
@@projectonedesigns yes please do it and I'll be happy to watch another real owners review.
Totally agree about the different characters. I got a bad taste after driving BMW the last few years. It drove me nuts that the car tries to be sportive while being a fat fuck and a diesel. I want comfort but a sound of V8 now. Or some distinct character.
Anyway subbing to your channel now.
Thanks. Good video
The unspoken benefit of buying this model second hand is that Mercedes have carried the design language through to the recent launch of the CL. So it is still very current 9 years since it was launched in 2015. How unusual is that!!
I have the S63 coupe with all options and it’s a hell of a car. I just went with the Renntech exhaust module that allows remote control of the exhaust valves sounds great at idle with valves open
I was thinking of getting that module so it's worth it
Dude it would be really awesome if you made a video of it!
I do have the s63 stage2 renntech the exhaust module also the suspension module 22” love it
@gustavoeboli8785 I was thinking about getting the exhaust module because it sounds good when the valves are open
Thank you for sharing
Did you do the apple car play module? And if so where? I’m actually in NYC and picking up a 2015 this weekend and would like to get a head start on a few things

I got the w2017 s550 sedan for about 2 years. The only issue that I experience so far is the sensitive sensor if you leave the car undrive for about 3 weeks. Those warning lights will automatically come off after a day or so.
I've had that yoo
@@ChrisHimself1357 and with every car that has not been driven for too long has that problem he experienced
I am looking, I throughly they all had apple CarPlay. What year did they start putting apple CarPlay in the it?
Beautiful automobile. 👍🏾
Good choice, I just got one
i got this car at 21 which honeslty wasnt the wisest decision because now im used to it and its hard to drive something else but man do i love driving it
I feel the same way like what's next lol
what did you do to afford it? parent's money?
@@rohangangar6210 no, air traffic control
I'm 25 and am in this exact car predicament. Choosing between this, an MC Stradale, or just get a big body 2018+ Range Rover. This video is definitely making me think that this S550 is the way to go. Thanks for the help. I imagine yearly maintenance costs aren't horrible.
22 k in warranty repairs don't buy
@@JamesSalvatore the S class? So since you made this video would you say you’ve changed your mind about getting the car because of maintenance issues? I’ve been looking at ones around $45-50k with under 50k miles. MC Stradale would be the sports car option, Range Rover would be the cruiser option. This car seems like the middle ground.
As long as you have a warranty go for it but just don't go for it without a third party warranty. Every car you mentioned is a high maintenance vehicle so you have an idea of what your getting used to
@@JamesSalvatore really appreciate the input. I imagine insurance isn’t great for 25 yr olds either. For the third party warranty, do you recommend any companies in particular?
I'm 28 insurance is 3400 a year for me in CT, fidelity warranty is what I have
ohhhh this car is perfect!
Thank you!
I absolutely love the S Coupe, but unfortunately im a huge interior critique in the sense that I cant see myself getting the S coupe because my E class has the same interior and I dont wanna have the same interior for a decade in 2 different cars. So any S class, cls, or amg gt 4dr is a no go for me :( Im looking at Panamera 4S's, 911 CS's or even AMG GTS as my next car. Shame that I have to depart the brand bc of this! 3 benzes in a row and I cant see myself in a 4th one unless its the AMG GT 2dr. Beautiful S Coupe tho
I love it
Hello, I might miss from the video, did you get the car from the dealer or individual? Best
Porsche dealer
It just looks so perfect, the proportions that is. Other Mercedes convertible, especially the older ones look weird. This, just perfect. S-Class is my dream attainable car. Currently own an LS460 fully optioned out and I'm happy with this until I am more wealthy in sha ALLAH
I own two, the 2015 550 and the 2020 560 both loaded and love this model, when I purchased the first one I knew I wouldn’t buy anything else again, now that they aren’t available I’m looking at Rolls Royce Wraith or Maybe Aston Martin for a similar body style and comfort / features but they don’t compare in features and tech.
I feel that this truly is a unique offering. Is the facelift 560 version worth upgrading to considering selling for a newer one
@@JamesSalvatore I bought the 2020 560 because I was told they may no longer be offered and found one with 2000 miles used at a huge discount (close friends with owners of a massive dealership), but I’d buy another one if they were available; there isn’t a suitable replacement on the market.
I feel the same way I want to find a low 18-21 model because I love the car so much. I feel like there isn't anything I could replace this with. It's the perfect balance
@@JamesSalvatore there are two 2021 S63 on the market now, but one has a totaled title and the other had water damage in the Florida Hurricane. There are is one S560 as of yesterday available on MBUSA, selling with low miles, but the market is bringing very high money on these cars and believe they’ll come down by fall; finding them is the challenge.
It is
The Coupe will most likely be my next upgrade to my S-Class saloon. I will aim for a fully loaded example or the highest spec I can afford depending on availability.
As a result I may have to settle for a pre-facelift S63/S500 although I may push the boat out a bit for a S560
Wait for my video tomorrow before getting it. This car was a basket case for me just dont do it
@@JamesSalvatore Insane ! I watched this video yesterday and the other one where you talk about the water problems right after.
Feels bad man...
what year
Check your cylinders for scoring (start with the 5th)
How would I do that request mb to do it?
What are symptoms of that? I'm still under warranty
So bro! I have had a 2021 e 53 coupe for a year now and i love it! But im wanting more luxury now. With 13k miles on it now, do u think i should switch to a used s class coupe? I found one right at 13k miles as well. Ive never had a used mercedes so im a bit hesitant on it
7 years in row best luxury coupe in the world!
Don't hesitate they are just as reliable as the e53
I love this car!! but ill take a C300 coupe
Is the infotainment touchscreen?
No it isn't the 2018 and up facelift cars might be
It's good 👍
I’m looking at a 16 with 42k miles….give me your thoughts?
Don't be afraid of it maintience isn't bad be sure to look for wrinkles lifting leather dash those are expensive issues
The lack of b-pillar alone is worth an extra $150K over the C63s/CLE coupe
You have to get a maintenance package!..... About 4grand a year!
I'm buying one but only the facelift
What year model is this?
15
I just bought one yesterday and now you scared the hell out of me with the cost of the brakes 😢
Well if it makes you feel better this year warranty paid out 12 k on the fuel system and the dash leather is lifting so this vid did not age well 😂
Once I've got 100k in my bank. There will be a 2012 S65 in my garage.
How much maintenance a yr
Varies you need minimum 6 k a year for random things that can go. Under warranty I changed the vacuum pump high pressure fuel pumps fuel pump and tank 12 k
👍
07:00 if she can't fit in the back why you talking to her?
If it's a 2017 car, then why not clearly mentioning it in the video's title?
Look at the car it’s obvious
@@esthetics4512
Obvious to you.
Sacrificial parts? Having a history with Japanese cars, this concept is tough to swallow.
You get used to it
Why ur second name Salvatore? İts fake right
So sad theyre no longer making these or the E coupes
It truly is better than all the new Mercedes take it from me I drive them all
How are you able to afford this nice car at your age?
I run a marketing agency
I didnt know this car is all whell drive!
Yeah honestly it's a beast does it all. Best all wheel drive I've had there's been snow here
@@JamesSalvatore Unfortunately in England we only have the rear wheel drive option.
That's a shame! It's a beast in the winter
The Facelift Version is the better Choice..
I agree they cost significantly more though
@@JamesSalvatore i know .. especially the S63.. 😄
Haha one day I gotta leave myself something to look forward to getting otherwise what's left
I ended up buying a prefacelift s63 because I had a good trade in and just so happened to get one exactly the way I would order one. I like the 5.5 sound, I like the tail lights, and the classic bullseye Mercedes grill has grown on me. Its a carbon fiber package so that may make a difference. I wasn’t in the market but I certainly wasn’t going to spend 20k more for a raspy exhaust, carplay, and Panamera grill.
The 5.5 is the stronger motor, and I like the 7 speed trans much better than the nine. You can add carplay and theyres a million panamericana grills you can get to replace the stock one. Hope that helps I'm just going to do carplay
9:49 9:51
This guy can talk himself into a Bentley. Smh
Oh just wait and see hahaha I think I did
Among other factors, the "visibility/statement" is an issue for me. Nobody notices my AMG S63 Cab, but almost everybody notices the Bentley. I prefer to fly a little bit under the radar. It does seem like you could pull off the Bentley with ease.
@@JamesSalvatore
this ass-class kup sounds like a crecked pot but i appriciate your video. im plannig to buy an s-class coupé with less noise.
Gives you nothing of an AMG actually... you cant even cmpare it.. Its a nice car one of the best but s63 AMG is THE coupe to own.
As an S63 AMG Cab owner, I can say that it is the way to go if you can afford it. But James is under half my age and I sure as hell wasn't able to afford a stunning used S-Class at his age. I was driving a sh*t box at 25. So, well played, James.
Chicken Coup
This is the old s class coupe
They discontinued the Sclass coupe last year.
Why does that beautiful classy Coupé sounds intrusively loud and like a broken sewing machine? Because it s driven by douche bags ? That s the clientele now unfortunately.
😂 sounds like your just pissed your prolly some old sad looser watching a video of someone 25 who bought a car you can't have
