March 2023 .. I Own a 2014 E63s 77k miles and it STILL gets looked and can cook most vehicles on the road … no issues at all .. Absolutely Love it 😍

Just bought a 2012 E63, love that back end stepping out when I want it to. It sounds and drives amazingly well, it is a huge step up over my E55, which I loved.

Just bought a 2016 E63 S AMG tonight, I'm stoked

[ChargerSRT]

It's amazing how technology is advancing that we have four door sedans as fast as zr1s.

FINALLY, Basem Wasef is actually wide awake in a review (he always seems tired in other reviews).

[Trithij]

This car is just outstanding. The performance numbers are just mad.

[DystopianOwl]

First of all, people buying this car will most likely not be doing burnouts and drifts with it. At least the majority of the people who will get it.
Second, AWD is more safe and faster, but also Stronger than rear wheel or 2 wheel drive. Especially when it comes to the colder parts of Europe or the rainier parts of europe, or anywhere else. So it's actually a good thing that these cars are getting AWD. I live in Sweden and you NEED AWD to be able to have safe travels in the winter. I welcome it! You can manage without, but it feels much more safe with an AWD. Especially if you have a heavy 4 door sedan, and probably a family.

I actually loved this review. It was way better than some of his old ones. Well done sir

[yelp]

Wow, the first hands on drive video review of the E63 and all people do is whine whine whine. GREAT review Basem - this is your best so far that I've seen.

[Emod]

0-60 in 3.2 seconds ! Wtff that's the fastest sedan in the world period.

[MegaBlairp]

This car quite possibly has the most character of any in its class

I just drove this car, it is amazing! Really thinking about trading in my 07 E63. And I thought mine was fast. Holy shit the new one is crazy!

[vernonprice]

What you don't understand is that the E63 has AWD, which makes a huge difference when measuring 0-60. 0-60 is a measurement of traction, not power. The CTS-V has 551 lb-ft of torque going to the rear wheels, you can spin the wheels all the way THROUGH 60 MPH, leaving a huge smoky cloud in your wake. Despite that, it still does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds.

When you remove traction from the equation, the CTS-V does 0-60 faster than the E63. Why? Torque and weight. Let's see if you can understand that.

The reviewer did a great job. Never seen him before. Good info. Nice review.

[dpresuto]

Great review, absolutely love the car, and intend to get the wagon version. Best sleeper on the planet. I also really enjoyed Mr. Wasef's review; don't know why there is all this hate... Keep it up!

[crazyca]

It will. We never thought an SUV would hit 0-60 in the 4 secs until the Posrche and Mercedes came out with one. This car is a new frontier and will set standards for newer vehicle.

[kartoffelaut]

Im deeply deeply in LOVE with this car.

[boyzroks]

Huge fan of the chrome accents on this car

[BigMike]

I'm going to get one of these in a few months.

[rahascha]

Amazing ... this S63 AMG is a Saturn 5 rocket with the comfort levels of Buckingham Palace, well done Mercedes-AMG
