Quick tip for 5:39: hold down the downshift paddle for a second and it will automatically downshift to the right gear where you have the most available power.

Anyone that buys one of these is automatically awesome.

I will give Mercedes this. The one big thing that the E63S has over the new M5 is just the pure fact that it can be had in a wagon. Which is just glorious if you ask me.

This has got to be the best, most well rounded car in the world. Absolutely crazy!

The lovely driver letting you pass at 7:35 is why we need two beep modes in all our cars: the courtesy beep (double blip) and the fuck you beep (standard).

What a spectacular machine. Looks better than the sedan. Looks better than the M5 in my opinion, and hauls more than ass.

What a great wagon. Makes me miss the old CTSV Wagon. People buy SUVs instead. People are stupid.

It's not often that I'm blown away by the interiors in modern cars, but this, and the LC500 are recent favorites.

Not a Benz guy but become a fan. This is now on the very short list of new cars that I actually give a shit about. I was a little concerned about how these review would change with the sponsorship. You still seem quite sincere and mostly unfiltered Matt. Thanks!

One of the best journalists reviewing one of the best cars. I’ve been waiting for this

Dude this road is beautiful

My god that sound!!!

This is Doug's favorite car, may the DougScore be with you.

Oooh those pops on the overrun 👍🏻

Holy shit! That's my wife's MINI Cooper @11:51 lol. That's awesome.

LOVE the green house on this. HUGE windows that extends as much as it can around the a, b, and c pillars.

Im so stoked to see you driving my favorite roads!! Been driving 35, 84 and all the other great roads up there since I was a kid in my old 240z

i haven't driven the skyline since leaving the bay area 25 years ago, but i can tell the roads have improved. thanks for taking me back.

That Mercedes is one of the best of those all...Among AMG's that's why its special...

Badass review.. I love your camera view... great way to display the car.

My favourite daily or maybe tied with RS6 wagon w. Performance pack ! Thank you for the great One Take !

Wow! Ive never seem Matt this excited about a car. I love me a good wagon! In white no less! Keep up the good work!

nice road. thanks for the virtual ride Matt

2:45 The sound of those shifts is one of the best sounds I have ever heard.

Maybe in 10 years I'll be able to buy a used one. That 4.0L is a masterpiece! Plus the best interior that has ever been in put a vehicle? Sold.

the pops and bangs on those few shots from the outside are nuts.....

You need one of these in your life Matt, your friends and Hanna would be very happy to ride with you !

Definitely one of my favorite cars! Great review!

Seeing you blast past all those traffic signs way too fast always puts a smile on my face 🙂

One of my dream cars!!! But this one does everything.. utility, performance, AWD, and comfort. It seems to do it all at a high level.

Honestly one of the best all-around cars you can buy right now

This would be a great daily!👍🏼That sound is also on point.

These things are always phenomenal sounding....have never driven anything AMG, so can't comment on their ride quality.

Matt's really giving us a show with this one. He is ripping on that thing. Beautiful road by the way.

Sounds absolutely amazing

Dope. Another great video Matt.

Never get tired of these Matt!

"We're comparing race homoligations with wagons"...classic, you slay me Matt.

Dream car!!!!

Wow that road was mint! And the car as well of course.. :)

Wow the scenery is beautiful, so green compared to the socal one takes

That V8 sounds amazing to me, growls perfectly.

God I love these! Gonna be my next car hands down.

It just sounds so damn good!

Awesome review, thanks

Skyline! Love that road!

Skyline is my home turf; so cool to watch you drive my road

Mercedes rocking out lately. One of the best sounding card ever

I Love This Car! I LOVE Fast Wagons! Fast cars with practical long rooflines are the best thing ever for practical minded gearheads. I lament that Cadillac neglected to give us the next generation CTS-V WAGON! In lieu of that... I want this car! Btw Thank You's to Sonic and Autobahn Motors for letting us lust over this dream car!

Good to know where I should go for such a wagon in the future

Good review! Nice job, sir!

wow really nice sound!!😁

perfect sound

those roads look amazing

The most perfect car in the World! 👍🏼👏🏼✅❤️

Bro that looks like a lovely little cruise. What road is that?? I freaking love canyon carving in my M3 and FX45. Keep up the good content! ;). You have such a cool job

Ah, extensive piano black gloss interiors: employing detailers world wide for years to come.

Love the review..... great job. We have 2018 E400 wagon with a ECU tune. Its my wife’s car and she loves it. I love driving the car its solid yet comfortable.

what a show, great road, it looks so fast

I remember discovering this road when I lived in Cali a couple years ago. This specific road is responsible for me getting into motorsport. Fantastic One Take.

how does matt keep his license when he's regularly doing 100 - 130 mph luckiest dude on earth

Great review - thanks for posting. Awesome car, I'd trade my allroad in for that in a minute if I could afford it.(I love wagons) Audi have the rs6, but the amg is lovely indeed. Great road for a Sunday morning rip ; and I think every morning would be a Sunday morning for me.

WOW what a nice ride! I personally prefer wagons over sedans because I like them better with road handling and Burnouts but that's personal!! Anyway have many more Safe Rides and thanks a lot!!

Beautiful cabin

So weird to see you in my area. Those roads you’re driving made me the man I am today. Hah. For real though, I wouldn’t be half the driver I am today if not for HWY 9, Skyline Blvd, Bear Creek Rd, Black Rd, Page Mill, HWY 84, etc. That whole area of the Santa Cruz mountains has so much to offer. Skyline is s higher average speed road where Page Mill is very tight and technical. Whatever you prefer, you got it. I used to hit those roads early in the morning, right when the sun was coming out; that way it was bright enough to see suicidal deer in advance but early enough for light traffic. I’ve done Skyline Blvd from HWY 92 to HWY 9 into Los Gatos in 20 minutes. And that was in a 2006 G35 sedan w/ a six speed. Pretty low level performance car. Imagine what you could do in that Benz.

A "Hot Rod Station Wagon"....what a wonderful concept, and a wonderful car....

totally love this...so stealth

I need this wagon in my life. Wow 😍

Does everything. I need one badly.

What a car! I Love It!

Ultimate daily driver for sureeeeeeeeeee

Man such a good alternative to these suvs, especially in a place like socal, an suv is not really needed. I would really like to drive it

I watched this and your RS6 review... you were way more stoked on this! The RS6 didn’t make you smile and laugh the way this did.

This model is going to be a classic one day, along with the cls63 shooting brakes

Me siento más atraído hacia las wagons que a los SUV. Ésta MB está genial, potencia, practicidad y comodidad. El motor suena genial. Excelente auto (o wagon en éste caso) Lo siento, tenía pereza de escribir en inglés, así que lo hice en mi idioma nativo.

Love this Wagon soooo much. If Mercedes put some goodies and turn this into a Black Series... Muah! That would be epic

Love all the sound effect came out of your mouth,lol, hilarious

They stock these Bad Boy's b/c of All the Great Review's from U & Your Automotive Brethren. Cheer's from $ast-Van B.C., Canada

I'll be honest, I'm super glad you're at least staying with the One Takes for press cars!

Well done.. Subbed 👍

Not really into Wagons but damn i would consider this over the RS6 Avant. They really nailed it with this car,sports car performance in a family wagon is brilliant.

These fast German Wagons are incredible all round pieces of equipment. In Europe we also benefit from the RS6 Estate (that's English for Wagon:-)) But, there's always a "but" right? You lose something. Feel, driver involvement. They are so powerful, so fast that they are now supercar fast. So much so that supercars are now producing space shuttle levels of power which can't be used. Look at the 812 Superfast as an example. If you want one car that does everything then you're going find it difficult to argue against an E63 Wagon (or RS6 if you're in the rest of the world). Trust me though, you drive one for a while and you start to feel that something is missing, some sort of driver interaction, the feeling that you are actually part of the car and making it go the way it goes. The comfortable cosseted surroundings that disguise the speed and astonishing progress these cars make that make them the perfect continent munchers numb the enjoyment and involvement of driving. At that point you hanker for something more analogue. So lets say you can afford 120K+ for a car, that means you can probably afford a couple of cars. At 120K would you take an E63s over say a 575 Maranello and a runabout daily driver? I tip my hat wholeheartedly to the technology that has made these cars a reality, but as they've evolved a little bit of envolvement and love and enjoyment of driving died with the evolution. What do I know? I own a 2017 4.0 V8 twin turbo German wagon, it is the best all round car I have ever owned or driven, by a country mile, but on a sunny Sunday morning when I want to drive for the sheer pleasure of driving, I open the garage and pull out something altogether older and more analogue.

the zoot suit interior is piano something it’s my favorite from the dealership i’ll call it zoot suit now

Great review. Great car. People always talk about the high depreciation of Mercedes Benz especially the AMG cars and the high ownership costs but it is a $120k twin turbo charged high performance car. What else would you expect? I believe if you can afford to properly maintain these cars you will enjoy them for many years.

This is pure AMG. That is Not an overly refined sound sir. holy shit. tough call with sport turismo turbo for dopest wagon.

Gonna have to visit Autobahn Motors of SF!

You guys film this on the 35? Love these superwagons. I read that the rs6 MIGHT be coming to our shores 🙏🙏

perfect daily!

Suddenly, a station wagon is cool. I want this thing.

Please make a video on the e43 amg, I would like to hear your opinion on it.

i can hear outside pretty good :D

Santa Cruz Mountains Matt!

I want one SOOO badly!

Skyline is SO fun & beautiful, but my buddy actually spun his E36 M3 into the guard rail near Alice's. I'd feel a lot more confident driving a well-planted AWD beast like this up there.

I love its stealthiness :.... I want one...)

Beast to say the least.matt will yoy be reviewing an amg gtr any time soon?

norcal drivers really get sports cars.. and bikes.. a lot of pulling over.. and we return the favor when we're in a slow vehicle. good to see you on our local roads.

probably one of the best cars on the road right now

Hi Matt! Awesome video! What would you recommend me? Michelin PS4 (not PS4S) or Michelin PSS? What is the best in terms of grip, mainly dry grip?

Really Good Review and an Awesome Car... Shame the Wagon is not available in Oz even at $250k like the old model..
