1997 Mercedes-Benz S500 Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

[TheRuffie21]

this car is a legend

[JoshsJagger]

Old car, YUCK

[7477238]

@JoshsJagger So what. This W140 is still more advanced, safe and better built than some of the modern crap today that just focus on design and nothing more. This car had it all, even big repair bills ;)

[G0Far]

Even back then, they have that obnoxious interior chime.

[MacSaab93]

Amazing car but amazingly expensive to fix. My mom just paid $1200 for a tune up and hose replacement. Now it needs new shocks too!

[Daaoud94]

The BMW 7-Series of the same year could have a tv (front and rear), sat-nav, telephone (front and rear) and tons of other stuff. Could you get that stuff in this shape of the S-Class because I've never seen this car with that kind of spec.

[xtyson5]

@Daaoud94 haters gon hate

[Daaoud94]

@xtyson5 I'm not saying that I hate mercedes (my family have had a couple of these S-Classes in their lives so I know a bit about them). All I'm saying is that it wasn't particularly technologically advanced. I also think the BMW was built better and looks alot better than this does. It's not the best car Mercedes has come up with.

[xtyson5]

@Daaoud94 haters gon hate

[SuperSedans]

@Daaoud94 If you talking about E32 you must be joking. The ride quality is not even close in these E32's

[Daaoud94]

@SuperSedans I'm talking about the E38

[SuperSedans]

@Daaoud94 Ride quality in E38 is equal or worst than the W140. When comes to performance is the same way. 750iL us 600SEL.

[Daaoud94]

@SuperSedans Well it would depend on whether you bought an SE or a Sport. But yes I agree the W140 was better in terms of ride quality, however in terms of how technically advanced each car was, the BMW was by far more advanced.

[wolftmfg]

Man, it's a mansion on wheels. Great example!

[computergames5]

This is what i call German engineering, unlike the new Mercedes.

[METALBUG999]

@computergames5 this generation was weak. the styling was for 80 year olds

[cocosolo03]

@METALBUG999 You are wrong ! This was the best generation of S Class Mercedes, much more reliable than the 2000-2006 S series. The suspension is superior than any car on the planet. The styling was designed for people with intelligence and Money !

[METALBUG999]

@cocosolo03 ok. I'm saying its too big and heavy. next generation is way better.

[cocosolo03]

@METALBUG999 I understand ! no problem .. Peace..

[Bomber123AL]

This is the mother of all modern cars

[onlinetroller69]

this car is insane soft close doors and one touch windows in 1997 all other car companies have recently introduced them as in this decade

[CrushingCry]

its not that good of alooker too old 

[mrferrari412i]

Well done on the tour of the S500,i could not have done it any better even that i own one ,perfect writte up of this W140 Model ,congrats .

[HolyBritannia]

[MatruyoRocket]

Oh wow, Instead of saying "fully loaded" I could say S500



[halflifemasta]

[playstation1331]

8:54 yeah the real MUSIC 

[nielkainama93]

@playstation1331 OH MY ITS Pumped up kids!

[MangoSmoothie16]

[GORILLATHEKILLER]

Please where is this benz s500 in the video and is it for sale cos am very much interested in it....Pls the uploader should reply me asap to let me know if it's available for sale and how much...Thanks...

[petayV8]

The safety features obviously werent enough to save Princes Diana in her 96 S320 or did the s500 have more?

[DHS13lAcKoUt]

Can u find a 1972 Ford Gran Torino?

[gtsimulator]

Benz is a Benz 4ever.

[PRODRIFTER97]

1:35 for horn noise!

[Brambor97]

My neighbour has a black S500...it's so sweet.

[atosss]

Great review man! You sure plan your way troughout a new vehicle before you capure it. Nice job at showing all gizmos of this merc

[y571]

Holy fuck i want this car

[DannyLrides]

Damn did that look good back in the day? Everything in the 90s looked so plain.

[EbilinforcerDJ]

when you poped off the top of the car, i got a boner and paused.

[NOZblast2]

lawl integrated phones ftw

[MrTONYTONYM]

In case you guys didnt know, princess diana died in this car

[PersianHercules]

@MrTONYTONYM

She died because she wasn't wearing her seatbelt and because the car was travelling well over 100mph. Not even an S class will be able to save your life if you don't wear your seatbelt in a major accident.

Oh and she didn't die in a S500. She died in a S320; the shorter wheelbase S class with the V6 engine.

[Mcmerc01]

@PersianHercules She was in an S280. The driver of the car survived, the only one with the seatbelt on, at over 100mph, they are certainly strong cars.

[ladyyuna2000]

I been looking for this mercedes-benz thanks Kyle

[Spezza149]

Attention to detail is amazing at Daimler AG

[umair691994]

True Classy car!

[MeskovicZ]

What else to say?

Mercedes is nothing less than PERFECTION on 4 wheels ....

[yamahonkawazuki]

@MeskovicZ agreed. i sold my 02 s500. loved that car. but when electrical gremlins came along. htey were PRICY to repair. so after a couple, i repaired the rest myself. but still love that car. and it was gold liek this one

[MeskovicZ]

@yamahonkawazuki

Well i don't want to be rude ,but if you did had enough money to purchase S500 it is also expected from you to have a bang in your wallet to keep it running. This car is not for everyone ,it takes a special kind of people to drive these kind of cars. A kind of people that don't care about gas consumption or registration or price of maintaining the car. Their only interest is luxury on 4 wheels...

[yamahonkawazuki]

@MeskovicZ this is true. like ferrari for example. even if you could scrape together the $ needed to purchase the vehicle. it takes a few thou a year to make a daily driver out of her. there coems a time, such as my s, that i had to let her go. ( replacing the transmission at 92k miles. ) BUT fwiw, i enjoyed it up to the end.

[MeskovicZ]

@yamahonkawazuki

I know you did. Everyone would too! You had pretty nice Mercedes your self! Too bad you had to sell her ,but at least i hope one day you will be able to drive better and more luxurious one.

At least that is something we all want , i never drived one ,not even used one. But at least i am hoping to be able one day to drive one. If not new at least used :)))))))

[yamahonkawazuki]

@MeskovicZ they are NICE. and pull like nobodies business. you can find ones like kyle reviewed here. fid less than 10k. one like i had for 12 to 18 depending on mileage. as long as you take care of it. it will of you. a friend bought a 2010 i believe its called a c550? looks like a 4dr sedan, but is a coupe. damn thing is a rocket lol. kyle reviewed one similar. may have been an amg, am not sure. BUT if you get one. you can build your own amg, and not pay their prices.

[MeskovicZ]

@yamahonkawazuki

Yeah i know ,and it is amazing how car that used to cost up 150 000 $ decade ago can be purchased for 10 - 15 k.... LOL

I am not expert in knowing difference between AMG & ordinary model ,but i do know difference between BMW M class & ordinary model.

And trust me ,the inovations & gadgets put in M models are really worth the additional price.

[petayV8]

@MeskovicZ HA over here in england these things go for like 1 or 2k lol

[MeskovicZ]

@petayV8

They go for 1 000 pounds of 2 000 because your insurance in England cost as 5 times the car it self....

[petayV8]

@MeskovicZ very true

[MeskovicZ]

@petayV8

Hehe ,i know it is true!

Got pal in England ,he told me everything about your insurance.......

So ,even if you have 2k for Merc ,in the end it will cost you more than one in U.S :)))))) ,not to mention long term cost difference ratio :S

But hey - "God bless the Quenn" :)))))))))

[7477238]

@yamahonkawazuki How smooth and stable do the S Class cars ride and handle? I've grown up with floaty Cadillacs and Lincoln Town Cars. I haven't ridden in too many Euro cars with the exception of a BMW 550i with the M sport package, rather firm riding but great control.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@7477238 well best way i can explain an s class ride. is liek it WLL float like a lincoln or caddyBUT will handle well as well. ( when they have the adjustable suspension equipped. my 02 would accelerate to illegality quickly. BUT would handle like a firm almost sports car. i say almost because its not that tight. BUT not pure luxury ride either. it can do both

[jex9]

Wow this car was ahead of its time!

[MrCounterstrikeforce]

mercedes benz w140 is the most reliable n best equipped S class

[counkev]

This is my favorite generation of the S Class. I just love the way it looks

[dbarnhart92]

A motorized handle just for pulling the trunk shut? Really? It's cool that all that stuff still works at that age though.

[wolftothegrave]

oh,my first love.............

[MegaZombieland1234]

could you do a video on that celica

[sftomee]

Nice car! In very good condition, i think. Very rare!

[piagjoe]

If somebody know the song name at 8:48 please share with us.

[Enix69]

@piagjoe Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks :)

[piagjoe]

@Enix69 Thank you very much :)

[RyanMoran1992]

Loved this video. So many features!

[kristechreviews]

o thank goodness no key fob entry crap

[MrSunstar81]

So basically it has all the shit my honda civic has...

[Spezza149]

Does anyone know how the phone worked?

[miledplayer]

it doesnt have all equipment avaliable

[theyenyene]

mercedes is a great car

[Area51UFOGynaecology]

This was one of the greats

[squeakD]

Sweet Jesus.., that thing is in amazing shape! Doesn't show its age at all.

[newandused1998]

A true Russian's car

[Z0hann]

@newandused1998 Mercedes is built by Germany.

[PulletSurprise]

@Z0hann

Merc E-Classes and S-Classes are immensely popular in Eastern Europe. So much so that in most city centres they're the only non-taxi cars you'll see.

[PS2Gameplays]

@Z0hann I think he meant a true russian's car as in the driver being russian

[Z0hann]

@PS2Gameplays ah if so my mistake. Actually I hear Audi is much more popular in Russia than Mercedes but I can't confirm nor deny, lol.

[yellowcow13]

Kyle thanks I love it when you show the Bass and Treble settings. Also the song at 8:48 has started to follow you. Its also a favorite of mine.

[blacknow123]

i wanna win money for doing car reviews, i love so much cars,

[taraska]

This car is suuuuhweeet

[mrklimczyk]

i want a big collection of new and old cars

[Qo0oQ9]

amazing car ,, WoW

[motormusique]

Looove this generation of the S-Class. To me, it's still the epitome of Mercedes.

[lifeformecool]

Хорошая машина, по плохим дорогам проезжает много километров, довольно надёжна, неприхотлива. В России дороговаты запчасти, но терпимо.

[carsallday12]

I love this car

[ljcayie]

How much is that merc cost now???

[TheSmartdude11]

why are the wipers positioned on the passenger side?

[wwaalltthheerr]

gorgeous tank of a car

[Saleen5000]

Love the Mercedes, keep them coming.

[krakmxer]

mafia car exactly..!

[trusser931]

I just loved those cars, they were nice looking and were such nice rides.

[xtremerulez12]

Mafia boss car.. double pane bulletproof glass, big engine for running from cops, thick steering wheel for getting away from big tonys men without it falling off..full glass headlights..I dunno? :)

[Xboxlivemgear]

What's the purpose of the little vents on the sunroof cover?

[nintendo007]

LOL my Parents have this car but a 1993 version. As old as this car may be, it's very comfortable and still reliable to this day

[TinnInches]

Don't stop talking about the keyless entry that one poster complained about a couple of videos ago. I for one, appreciate all the info you can give on each car.

[ClubPenguinNevada]

720p or 1080p please ;)

[xXDaMasta18Xx]

[anandecy3035]

How is the car-phone used? Where do you get the "connection" from?

[uberjorge5737]

For a second there I thought the glass was bullet proof

[East17A]

this is a rear wheel drive car right ? i like it 15 city MPG and 20 MPG highway that is impressive for a V8 -1997 got the power the luxury and fuel efficiency can't challenge German machine maker i wonder how much they ask for it

[anandecy3035]

@East17A Most Mercedes' are RWD.

[East17A]

@anandecy3035 thanks i was just wondering because i didn't know that for sure :-D

[FalconsFlame]

Looks like a beast of a car.

[WoZIMoo]

Back in the day when Mercs were more solid than Russian tanks...

[120Steelers]

Can you please do a video on a 2006 7 or 8 bmw 7 series thanks

[peacefrog0521]

@ 7:40 need to test the HVAC system to see how well is disperses smoke ;-)

[AndreyPurtov]

OMFG, how I love this body-type of MB ! :)

[SIMPLEGUY423]

wait 95 it said 97

[surivirus]

do you take the cars ypu film for a ride ?

[MrThestig8]

I'll take this and that 500SL, oh and that Fleetwood. Cadillac and Mercedes have always been some of my favorite brands in the world.

[1997armstrong]

2010 Chevrolet Cobalt LT

[TheDarkblade77]

Screw the new benz's.....the older generation is where its at!

[tenta20]

Nice car. My parents have a '96 S420 - great car. Thanks for reviewing the W140 style S-Classes.

[Taikafirr]

could you try to find a kia borrego

[asdf15351]

This might be a dumb question but how exactly does the phone work? Is it connected to a service provider or something?

[Goldenrod636]

Looks almost lke a Cadillac Seville on the exterior.

[1997armstrong]

2009 Pontiac G5 BASE

[1997armstrong]

2009 Pontiac G5 BASE love to see a vid on this car

[CupraBocanegra]

[tigrepez]

[CupraBocanegra]

düt düt düt düt - "very nice" xD

[jeffcarras]

@MojeYTube 2:28 explains where

[AndreyPurtov]

@MojeYTube , at both sides of a grill, idiot :)

[charliestyr]

Loving all these 90s cars... I think I'm going to put a cap on backwards and go watch friends.

[OussiStyle1]

Finally a review of my favoite car!

[Pr1vateer]

the old mercedes buissnes class.. its awesome car it looks heavy but with this engine flys like butterlfy.. and the interior is verry cool.. and the phone ! :) wooow .. i see that its a good sound isolated.. and the stock audio system is it blaupunkt? ... :)

[Clausfarre]

Beeping noise alarms should be a crime.

[chawkfan94]

@Jakeman2164 good point but a very different cost difference at msrp



[85ZingoGTR]

I love this Benz W140. Especially the coupe version. But unfortunately, apparently this generation suffered from electrical problems alot. Its a shame too. This one and the W126 coupe are two of my all time favorite older Benzs.

[85ZingoGTR]

@Jakeman2164 yeah but today, this car, should be taking notes on the A8 from 3 days ago. That car is the epitome of German craftsmanship. ;-)

[ilovecars1996]

wow what a nice car..what's with the weird keyless entry though?

[05Forenza]

This is by far one of my favorite cars. I WILL own one some day lol

[iPatrickyhng]

@ThatCheetosGuy79 You sir are dumb.

[sameerhamna009]

@ThatCheetosGuy79 american cars are piece of shit and also a gas guzzler. i have own a chevrolet and hummer h2 . both of them r shit. now i stick with toyota. and i own toyota land cruiser and toyota corolla. both of these cars are awsome. and they are built strong and has good gas milage.

[ThatCheetosGuy79]

@sameerhamna009 your a disgrace to this country

CAN YOU HONESTLY GET IN THAT TOYOTA AND THINK ABOUT PEARL HARBOR

YOU ARE A DISGRACE GET OUT!!!

[sameerhamna009]

@sameerhamna009 what does toyata have to do with pearl harbor. i am only sayiny toyota cars are the best because i have personal experience with them. our ford g.t is really expensive and its a first american super car but nissan gtr has beaten ford and its half the price as compare to ford. and who the hell are you to say get out of my country. this country doesnt belong to your father got it you american shit lover.

[angndev1]

MercedesF700 a V12 doesn't sound like a Honda you retarded kid

[dstarks80]

@Jakeman2164 Can you really compare a $96000 Mercedes to a $40000 Caddy?

[sm2by]

Great videos as always kyle! Also read your article on Caranddriver... by the way your picture makes you look like the guy from MAD magazine....

[calfss031106]

I love the rear fog light on Mercedez. So bright !

[xvrhernandez349]

To me it sounds like last generations BMW 7series

[RyanBCZW242]

Great reviews, but why do you rarely show the operation of the wipers??? (mainly the headlight ones)

[crunkenergy93]

The LAST of the over-engineered Benz's. This car is a Battleship

[lizardman152]

I can't believe this car had all of those features in 1997. You can find most of them on luxury cars today.

[Joseph9536]

@Jakeman2164 You can't really compare a Mercedes that cost $90,000 when new to a Cadillac that cost $37,000 when new. Of course the Mercedes is going to be better. Also I saw your comment on the Cadillac Fleetwood video about how you would bash it because of the poor fuel milage. Just in case you didn't know the Cadillac gets better fuel milage than this Mercedes! What do you have to say about that bitch?

[w140king]

the best mercedes ever!!

[FrenchValleyAirport]

I love cars that got dual pane, and thick doors, so once there all closed, you cant hear a thing outside :)

[mrklimczyk]

on the back of cars from dealers can they remove the sticker if there is one.Example:, davesincliar ford. south charolote lincoln

[bigvirgotube]

Heard about you, and saw your interview with Motor Trend. Thought I'd subscribe. How's that Roadmaster treating you?

[tommyd103]

good job with the cub holder in front of an A I R B A G ! not so smart, when the drink can go and fly in ur face .

[w140king]

@tommyd103 the CUP holders are not in front of the airbag and if your in a situation where your airbags pop out, i think you got more things to worry about then a coke smacking you in the face.

[Stet17]

@Jakeman2164

This is also a gas hog, even more so than the Fleetwood, and the Fleetwood is meant to be retro. If I was going to pick between the two now, I'd choose the Mercedes, no contest, but the Fleetwood is also a good car.

[Stet17]

@Jakeman2164

I wouldn't say it's crap by any means. Sure the Benz is on a whole other level, but that's because it costs twice as much. The interior of the Cadillac isn't as luxurious as this one, and that it handles like a boat, but you could ride in one of those for hours and hours and you wouldn't feel sore anywhere, and the drivetrain is very durable.

[Stet17]

@Jakeman2164

You do realize that the Cadillac cost half the amount this did when new right?

[GIOOTO]

why there is 2 dislikes?????

[Perfect5Recurve]

@GIOOTO General Motors disliked this and the other like represents any guy who traded there mercs for a caddy or bought a caddy over a merc haha.

[luisinhoens90]

@Perfect5Recurve

maybe some Lexus lovers around??

[Perfect5Recurve]

@luisinhoens90 possibly. could be the lexus' too or the Acuras.
