One thing I hate about my 1998 Honda Accord is it isn't a 2016 Mercedes S550

Most people who buy an S class that isn't an AMG wouldn't be looking for a loud exhaust, more comfort and quiet would be the expectation.

1. That arrow tells you where the fuel door is, it's on every car 2. It's a giant luxury car with a turbo charged V8, of course mileage is going to be shit 3. You have to hold the button to change the seat because if it were a 1 click thing you could end up putting yourself in a very uncomfortable position if you were to choose a tiny person's seat position by accident 4. No one changes perfume settings for their climate control on the move, you still have regular switches to take care of basic climate control settings like fan speeds 5. Again, it's a giant luxury car, it's job is to isolate sound from outside the car. Ideally you shouldn't have to hear the engine at all in non-AMG cars 6. Purely subjective, but I think the IWG looks even more tacky 7. Maybe it's an iPhone problem ;^) But seriously bluetooth is pretty poop in general for audio 8. Tap the wheel every 10 seconds and write a letter to your senator after your car drives you home 9. I'll give you the scroll wheel, I swear even the new Civic has that 10. They can charge that because they know people will pay, pretty sad but that kind of attitude that Mercedes had back in the 80s is how Toyota was so successful launching Lexus and the LS400 I need a life

One of the best portrayal of first world problems

WTF he is buying an S class and wants to hear the V8 engine. It is built to be a quite luxury car WTF

If you want to hear the V8, buy the AMG Version...The S class you bought is a luxury car, not a sports car

The one click seat memory was removed b/c women would click the wrong one (their taller husbands) and the seat would move their feet away from the gas and break pedals without stopping and the women would panic... I just made that up but I've convinced myself that this was a point brought up in development.

that gas triangle marker at 75% is to show you which side the gas door is on.

"The fuel gage is a bit confusing because it says 40% and I can't read it, so I assume it is 75% and then I run out of fuel in the middle of the road, so stressful."

nice to hear some negative things about the car as most people just sing its praises in reviews. Keep the the reviews and ignore the negative comments

1 thing i hate about the mercedes S550 , 1) i dont have one

Well no shit, People who want to hear the exhaust buy the AMG. You are driving a 60 year old grandpas car, what do you expect!!? A fucking straight pipe???

Please can you put some nice wheels on it. It looks like a Uber right now

Here's one thing to hate: the fact that you're leasing it. What a massive waste of money.

Should've just paid a extra 25K & got the 63AMG

A fucking S-class should be quiet! If you want a nice exhaust note than by the S63 for gods sake!

Eddie with a wig. lol

the black rectangle next to the little fuel pump indicates on which side your fuel goes in.

What you guys don't realize, because you most likely will never own such a car, is that at this price, EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR SHOULD MATTER so yeah, maybe he nickpicks everything, but that's the point, at such a high price it is logical that you would find every little flaw since you'd expect it to be flawless

I'm pretty sure holding the button to move the seat is just a safety reason

I guess people don't understand that he's nitpicking because he really likes his car overall.

The memory is the way it is, as it is a dead man's switch (i guess it might be called) so the seat stops immediately when you lift off the button.. It's just a safety thing

the arrow shows you on which side is the gas tank and most cars today have it

"Things I don't like about my S550." - by the guy chillin' in his cooled seats $120,000 sedan in the first world.

There is no remote start but here in Europe you have the option to get a pre-heater by which you can start the climate control via remote or timer and set the temperature, you can get that on almost every car

"Eddie with a wig needs a lot more leg room" im dead.

Hey Vehicle Virgins! Concerning the memory seats, have you tried pressing the button once when the door is open? (In the Volkswagen Touareg, if you press the button while the door is open you don't need to hold it, but once you've closed the door you have to hold to get it to the right position) Hope this helps!

S550s are for people 40 years and up. I don't care if you have drug money, you look ridiculous driving that.

I wish my car had some of these problems lol

If this is all he thinks is bad, then Mercedes-Benz made the best car ever.

14 mpg?!?!?! For someone who is known for reviewing cars, Did you not know that before your drove off the lot? 😒😠

About the seat position, there is a very valid reason, and that's safety. Imagine you lend the car to someone who is tall with long legs. He then pushes a number which sends the seat fully forward (because you're a midget) and he can no longer use the pedals and crashes. Not good...

The "seat issue" is probably a safety feature.

If you want to be happier with your car, then don't buy one designed specifically for senior citizens.

Hey everyone lets all feel for a guy who can find ten measly things wrong with his hugely expensive car... How hard life must be for you...

If you want to check how many miles you have left you have just to go on trip and check on consumption...You said it right, if you want AMG's sound you should buy one of those...

The video should have been titled first world problems

Your actual license plate is "KZfaq" ?? My man lmao

1-Rectangle is showing the side of intake in case you forget it in gas station 2- the buttons need to be pushed for a bit of time its a safety future What if during drive you hit it once and that can be dangerous 3 - 30 sec Bluetooth is a bit slow but you cant hate a car for this 4 - hands on steering is another safety future another way you end up like that tesla driver All this systems are prototype 5 - its a very expensive car i agree the reason for is over engineering and so much quality control on each car 6 - its a car for transporting vip people all over the world so much sound signature is not convenient for it . At last I'm not a fan of this car i love he's videos but this one i think not as good as much

Some 'good' 'bad points, but if I had an S Class and I could hear the engine, I'd take it back. Want noise, get the AMG.

To warm the car up before you start driving is total bullshit and in germany that isn't allowed for a reason, it would be a good idea to order a pre-heater.

Will Parker ever find a perfect car? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z.

Okay, maybe some of these things should be explained to you. 1) The fuel gauge. As someone already mentioned, the arrow is there to show on which side is the gas tank so that you won't have to check it before you drive on the fuel pump if you don't remember it. Most cars have had it (the same exact icon) for a long time, and it's hard to see why it should confuse anyone for that reason. 2) And for the fuel consumption. What did you expect? 4.7l bi-turbo V8 (450hp and enough torque to move an island) with awd to move about a 4,774lb land yacht in start/stop traffic. 3) The memory seat buttons. You have to press and hold them for safety. If you cruise on an autobahn @ 250km/h and would accidentaly press one memory button, the seat won't reclaim to a position you don't want it to. I hope you can understand that. I believe that most memory seats work that way, at least all that I've been using. 4) For people like you who don't like to mess about with the settings, there are simple buttons on the dash, and I find those very convenient to use. No one forces you to go and specify the climate settings if you don't want to, but I find all those options nice to have available, although I rarely use those. Just put it in auto, and set your desired temperature. 5) Now in a car like this, the exhaust is not meant to sound at all, the engine is supposed to be whisper quiet and smooth as Sean Connery. Which, as you mentioned, it is. If you want the roaring exhaust, why don't you buy the AMG one. 6) For the clock. Well, what can you say. I personally don't find it tacky at all, even on the cheaper models. Personally, I like the base model one even better. And I'm a watch fan too. But I guess that's a question of opinion. 7) I don't know whats wrong with your bluetooth system. After you've paired your phone for the first time with the car, it does connect it automatically in less than five seconds. And that is with several different S- and E-classes, and with different phones (iPhone, different android devices) as well. You should have that checked at a dealer. 8) As you said yourself, you have to keep your hands on the wheel because of regulations. I never personally like to use the autonomous features, I like to drive the car by myself. But yeah, that's a fairly useless feature in todays standards. Although it's quite cool. 9) Again I believe that the lack of scroller on the steering wheel is to avoid accidental volume changes while turning the wheel. What I do find annoying tho with the volume controls is that when you end a call, and you left the music/radio volume too high, it takes a few seconds before you could adjust the volume lower. 10) Now again, if you buy a 120 grand car, I find it stupid not to pay another few hundred for the cooled rear seats if you need those. Mercedes have always left most of the options for the buyer to choose. Sure, a merc is more expensive a buy than some other cars, but I think that doesn't come as a surprise for anyone. All the backseat features do come as standard if you buy the lwb version, but with the short one I think most buyers don't need those features. And for the pre-heating there are devices that allow you to heat the engine and the interior without starting the engine. In Europe at least they are very common and can be ordered with the car from the factory for not too much money. Starting the engine remotely for pre-heating purposes is just stupid. Sure, this is your point of view. What I did here, is I tried to explain why Mercedes has done things this way and that none of those are that way due to lack of designing or whatever was your point on this video.

Hi - the seat memory hold down is a safety feature - say for example that you're a shorter person with seat memory position/button '1', and you have a 6'3" spouse who is assigned seat memory. '2'... then, if you hit '2' by accident while doing 120mph on the autobahn.... well you get the picture!

Oh come on! The memory seats work flawlessly! It takes no more than 5 seconds to adjust the seat. Imagine what would happen if you unintentionally pressed the number while driving and the seat moved all the way forward to your grandma's position. :) Also, remote start is available as an option, at least in my country.

HAHHAHA! Eddie with a wig! Ah thats perfect. Thanks for embracing the hate. Love it. They hate because they're jealous. Speaking of Eddie with a wig, you should have her review all of your vehicles. Assuming she doesn't know much about cars, or isn't into cars, it would be funny for her to review your cars, in your style. What 5 things she loves about your cars, 5 things she hates about your cars.

the triangle near the top of the fuel icon indicates which side the fuel door is on... the reason you have to hold the button for the seat is a safety feature so that if there is anything under the seat, behind the seat or perhaps a woman's dress is caught, then it would be a matter of just letting go of the button instead of in a panic trying to cancel the seat movement

ABOUT SEAT MEMORY: A lot of people say it's because of safety in case you click it while driving. However, a lot of car companies simply lock the function if the car is not in Parking gear. There's no reason to change the seat while driving and it is dangerous. If they lock the function while driving, then we could get a one-click system without the safety concerns.

Some things I hate about my car 1. Breaks are squeaky in reverse only! 2. Backseat is pretty useless (all my bitches can't get in) 3. Scratched some paint off the bumper on the ground 4. Steering wheel bezel is chipping 5. Front bumper isn't aggressive 6. Leather on my seat looks deformed BUT I FREAKING LOVE MY CAR

The arrow shows where the gas opening is. If you look at a fuel pump with next to it even bigger *40%* and you still get confused, then the problem lies with you.

this car is for old rich conservative people 45- 70 not young people who nag to much.

Maybe the memory buttons that you have to hold are for safety? To stop the driver breaking the passengers legs?

buys biggest luxury sedan and complains about mpg ok

they don't want you to complain about the S class that they aren't able to buy

The reason that you have to hold number one instead of pressing the button is so you can stop half way through in case you realize there (for example) is something behind your chair that you will hit.

Lol people can't handle criticism, they would rather cry and whine in the comment section. :)

119k for a car like that is its biggest problem, i only see a 50k car max brand new

Hard to sympathise with this guy. Having my own mercedes (E250 2013) I could also state some stuff that im not fond of but its a luxury car and the way they drive and the comfort, you forget them immediately. He labels the video '10 things i HATE' about his 100k+ car and you expect people to be like 'oh yh you shouldnt have to suffer from no rear seat warmers' Come on, label it '10 annoying things about s550' and its understandable but to say you cant hear the exhaust on this luxury car designed for effortless cruising justifies some hate.

In Germany you're not allowed to have your engine running to heat up the car. It's prohibited, and so it makes sense that a German car manufacturer doesn't include it in its vehicles. I'm actually pretty shocked that you're allowed to do that in the US, but as most the cars are powered by gas-guzzling V8s over there, it probably doesn't matter if you have your engine running for 10 minutes.

Someone make a video called "10 Things I hate about Vehicle Virgins"

The combined highway/city gas mileage average is a figure prominently displayed on the window sticker of all new cars on a dealer lot. How can you complain about low mpg when that was information available to you prior to purchase? WTF is wrong with people?

him complaining about no exhaust note when the design the engine to be silent

The fuel thing is stupid... % is always easier than fraction. Plus that little arrow is the side you fuel up from; its in every car.

you have to old the memory buttons because safety. BMW engineers never put 1 press because they didnt want someone getting crunched

The rectangle indicates on which side the fuel filler cap is. And I am sure you can display the range left in your ''trip computer''.

Hey man for this top 10 list it just seems that you can't really find anything to say about the car and starts to pick on memory and volume buttons and stuff...

by the way, the reason why you have to hold the number to get the seat back is because that the passenger can release the button if someone's leg gets stuck :)

Some people will not eat anything today and you complain about your car for 80 000 $

Uhh....Exhaust? That is what the 550 is like, it drives pass you and you wont be able to hear it. It's a luxury sedan, not a sports sedan. They need to make money, they ain't putting everything you would possibly want onto a car. (Valved exhaust) Remote start....that is why this isn't a car that you should be owning as a 23 year-old kid. People get a car like this when they are truly successful at age 45 and has a chauffeur to warm the car up. You shouldn't even be driving this car despite what a immature kid you are, and what this car is built for. In some ways, you dont deserve this car because of your status.

No remote start on a 120K car??? That is ridiculous

The thing with the memory seats make defiantly sense. Imagine you press the wrong butten and your seat will go strait forward and you couldn't stop it while driving... So I think it's definitely the safest way to stop the movement when stop pushing the button!

Enjoyed your video. A couple of responses. 2:31 - Regarding the 'single-press to move to the correct position', a lot of companies don't tend to use these on anything mechanically complicated, in-case it begins to malfunction. Take a hard top car, almost ALL hard tops require you to hold the switch to activate the roof system whether it be opening or closing. The reason why is that say a micro-switch has failed and hasn't detected that the boot isn't fully closed, you could cause several thousand pounds of damage. It's almost like an interlock.

The S550 just doesnt suit him.

you cant read the oercentage on a fuel guage....only in America lol

I'm pretty sure you have to keep the button pressed so you don't accidentally hit it. Apart from that I agree with most of the issues you mentioned. There's nothing wrong with pointing out what you don't like in even the best of cars!

"The X number of things I hate about (insert car name)" is a good format because it really focus's the issues with the car, and if they're all pretty trivial, then you know it's a good car. Same but opposite with the things I love about this car. Alot of reviewers are too coy about stating what they think, they just Walter Cronkite it, you know, state the friggin obvious details and leave it to the viewer to form an opinion, which is hard because WE ARE NOT DRIVING THE CAR. We need to know what YOU think, and you guys do that, so well done.

Comparing an S550 engine sound to an AMG. Good lord.

the memory seat is a safety feature so you don't move away from paddles by mistake

For the "issue" of the seat button, think about it 2sec you push the button 's position is set hyper far from the wheel , must be nice to see you driving a flywheel 3meter helplessly

I'm pretty sure this car is available with an auxiliary heater. No need to remote start your car to get it heated up. I mean, even my 1986 S-Class has this option.

If I had any car, I wouldn't hate anything about it. This just shows how ungrateful you are.

#Firstworld problems...

if you hate it so much, how bout you give me your car? I hate people who dont appreciate the shit they have. Theres people out there who wish they had a car like yours.

My Durango takes about 30 seconds to connect to my phone but I discovered that any activity with the car, like opening a door or pressing unlock preloads the system before I actually start my car and it will connect immediately. Maybe the same for ur S550!

Umm... 1.: You do realize that that little arrow shoes the side of the car where the fuel cap is right?

nitpicking at its best....

The little pyramid is a help to let you know which side the fuel filler cap is on. It points either left or right. A lot of people don't know this so when they're in a rental car they tend to not realize where the gas cap is and don't realize there's a tell tell right on the guage. lol

The thing about memory seat is a safety feature.. If something "goes bad" can you just release the button!

The arrow next to the fuel gauge tells you what side the fuel cap is on. Memory buttons need to be held to prevent accidental button presses. You would probably complain about accidental button presses instead then. S550 it's about being quiet, not hearing the car if you wanted to hear that V8 then you really should have sprung for the AMG, also V8 and fuel economy don't exactly go hand in hand. Beautiful car, did you get the business class style seats in the back?

1st world problems.

Just in contrast : I drive a BMW e38 7-series as a daily driver. It's now exactly 20 years old, but it's in a good condition, not flawless of course, but nearly. I have a basic lcd-screen, telling me all i need to know about the car, the mileage, the miles to go with the fuel i have, the temperature, and a few other things... it's basic, but i get my info in the blink of an eye. It has all the info i need. I have manual climate control, but i adjust it, and it's there. I let my passenger to turn the one on the other side, and it's good for her as well.. a cold breeze on a summer day. I also have the exhaust, what does it's job by being absolutely silent under lower RPMs, but more and more grunty over 3,500. It's a nice car. It doesn't have a home cinema system, but it has a working fuel gage. It has everything what a car, and what a driver needs. I like to have my massage chair, my home cinema, my entertainment systems, my PC, and my techy gadgets in the livingroom better. In my car i have everything i need. I need no toys to play.. i need a car to drive, and as a car it drives. It's a pleasure to drive it. It costs now about 3000$, the fuel mileage is about 9-10L every 100 kilometres (that is less than 2,5 gallons/60miles), and it's also good. Over 100000$ for a car what is in no perspective a "better car"? Nah.. i'd rather have something else for the money ;)

FYI: In regards of your memoryseating one click option: When you walk towards your car, open the door click your setting on the doorpanel once and wait for the seat to adjust, step in, close the door.

You should make your next video "Things I hate about my Rolls Royce Phantom"

Is you license plate really KZfaq?

To address your third complaint. This seems pretty fucking handy if you by chance get something stuck or wedged in the wrong position. Instead of putting a ton of sensors in seats they simply ask you to hold the button for what, two fucking seconds.. Yeah, that's a real fucking first world problem to cry about.

The main reason to "press and hold" is a safety reason, like the cabrio roofs. You may moving to a position where your knees collapse against the steering wheel or something else. So if the car is killing you asphyxiated by the strange position was saved before. You will naturally just release the button. Thats the reason ...

Eddie with a wig lmaooo

The reason that you can't just click the memory seat button once is to protect you from accidentally crushing your body.

This is nitpicking, and i am not sure everyone will agree with your opinion. I am sure the car can self drive but Merc will not *risk the lawsuits* .

As for engine sounds: Luxury cars are meant to be silent, Audi even uses noise-cancelling to make it even more quiet inside... I usually open my window/sunroof a little to hear my engine a bit :-) Besides that, it's always possible to remove the underplate and the sound absorbing stuff under the hood to hear a bit more :D
