I think you should have tested the BMW 750i vs the Mercedes S550 vs the Audi S8

[Ondra]

I'm a bit concerned with the sound test. Did you take these measures while you were speaking?

[MadAlbo]

considering that BMW used to be known as a sports car historically, its a huge massive improvement in the comfortability aspect, as for AUDI if its still continues to put all that plastic stuff inside their cars, its gonna be wack forever. Mad props to BMW and Merc!

[doublefault]

S class has always been the benchmark in the luxury saloon class . Unrivaled refinement , luxury and reliability .

[MordFustang]

Get the 7 series if you enjoy driving and tech, get the S-Class if you prefer prestige, get the Volkswagen A8 if you want your car to have the same passion as a fridge and pollute like a train.

[TheAlphalimamike]

"S" class has all possible S's aviable; Serious, Standarts, Superluxury, Stabel, Speed, Sport, Sustainability, Selfconfident, Sexy.

[AYearOld]

Matt, mind you that 3 dB means double the sound. So, the difference between the cars is greater than you'd think.

[smatef]

So in short,
BMW - Best tech
Merc - Best comfort
Audi - Best handling

Hey carwow, we need more Head2Head Videos, we love drag races but car compares is needed in every segment

Keep up the great work 🏁

[NotCommanderShepard]

Genuine question: Why is the Mercedes the most practical? It has the smallest boot, the center seat looks even higher than the A8 and the only difference with the BMW Isofix system is a zipper that's relatively easy to unzip. Are there other criteria that aren't in the video? It really does seem to me that the 7-series is more practical, at least out of these 3 cars...not that it matters that much to the people who buy these cars.

[xmerxmer]

11:58 Decibels are not linear, so each db is a lot. Just 3db can actually mean *twice* louder sound.

[LacoteCohen]

The merc is the best, and is worth the money.

[youalreadyknow]

I haven't even watched the video yet but I guarantee I will hear the BMW idrive at least 5 times in this video review.

[ghost]

the S class is not even the loaded one ?!

[faisalmuhammad]

S Class and 7 series were awesome... Audi lovers can go wash their tears 😂

[NylonStrings]

i was so so confused which one to buy out of those 3 thanks for this review i will buy the S class 10 years later when it depreciates 90% in value

[stefanroganovic]

[aliszemoniquemarella]
