Living with an AMG G63 - what I loved... and hated!
On the lookout for your next car? Head to www.carwow.co.uk to find the right car from the right dealer, at the right price.
.............................................................
It's time for Mat to say farewell to his beloved AMG G63! He's had his hands on the G for a whole year, but Mercedes have asked for it back, so he's reluctantly handed it over.
But after clocking up thousands of miles, coupled with a whole host of drag races and tugs of war, how impressed was he with this imposing SUV? Sure we all know it looks great, and the performance is unquestionable thanks to the 4-litre twin-turbo V8 packed under the bonnet, but is it really worth the monumental £150k price tag?! And if he could afford one, would he buy one himself?!
Keep watching to find out!

I'm just mad that you can't afford this car ... you're the only reason why we're here .. Carwow is you, your character built this channel ... the CEO of Carwow needs to pay you more .. seriously!.
he can definitely afford the car, he just needs a loan from the bank. But its just not worth it cause the fuel costs r too high.
Käsebällchen If you need a loan to pay for something, that means you can’t afford it.
@@NonPlayableChar4chter No u can, but not now.
Wait, he is not the owner of CARWOW???
he is the ceo...
7:58 Mat: Compared it with a Jeep Wrangler *sad jimny noises on the background*
As someone who lives In England, I cannot say how accurate Matt is with the overtaking scene
It's, Not only in England.
Same here in Australia. Our drivers are literal idiots. Hug the right lane of the motorway. Never heard of keep left unless overtaking. Just a bunch of entitled idiots
Same with Indian truck drivers also. They literally don't move from overtaking lanes. Due to this lot of accidents occurs at high speed.
Same here in indonesia, the stupidity of most drivers and riders are beyond ultimate, hugging the right lane and when we ask them to move over they are very angry when we the one who wants to overtake should be angry to them
supaahflyy he wasn’t on about the motorway, he was on about over taking on single road lanes and going into the oncoming lanes. Thankfully lane discipline is a thing here and those who hog the middle lane can be prosecuted.

I just so enjoy listening to mat talk about cars. He’s so honest, funny and relatable ❤️
The fact that Matt loves his G63 being old school vs hating the Land Cruiser being old school just shows how much love he got for german cars.
There’s 2 different versions of old school. There’s outdated and classy old school. The land cruiser is outdated old school
@@tylansmith1345 on point, nuances people
You think the 200 series Land Cruiser is old school? Fuck me, wait until you see the 70 series Land Cruisers we have in Australia!

I bought this car because of Matt’s review! It is a torque machine and sounds like a hungry beast. Much fun to drive!
Do you wash it yourself tho?😀
The one thing is that people compare the sound from one side to range rover sport svr But I think g63 is equally as loud but the sound is divided from 2 sides
You spent 140 grand because some bloke did a video. Yeh right
@@rayyannaeem3062 yes, but great think is you have V8 sound near your doors💪
Can you help me get rich Peter
Matt I want this type of review for every car 🚗. U have given each and every details of ur G63. Please give this type of reviews. Keep it up 👍🏻
That intro scene was one of the most awesome I’ve ever seen. Had to leave a comment for it. Wow.
I’m guessing the thing you loved the most was the fuel economy.
When i floored the G63, the fuel consumption level literally went to 0km/L 😂
@@mrwheeaboo8191 then it went back to 4 mpg right ??😂
LOL
@@mrwheeaboo8191 Who the hell measures fuel consumption in km per liter???
Pro09video me
I feel you on so many things with my working van, especially the overtaking. At my company we drive mercedes sprinters and for abroad we use the 319 (3.0L V6 with 190pk and 440nm) and when the van is empty it is proper fast (for a van). So when I overtake people they sometimes get angry. I drive these vans for 3 years and over 100.000 km per year. When I overtake someone, I know goddamn well I can overtake!!!
Thing about the Highway Code though is that stopping in 53 meters is nice assuming you react to the need to stop in an instant. At 70 mph you travel 40 meters (roughly the difference between HC requirement and what this car can do) in less than 2 seconds. So yeah, modern cars can stop fast, but people need to put their foot down first.
17:28 Now I came to know what specifically heating seats does
I just love the led lights of it in a night drive

I hope other people who are not from the Midlands understand Matt's humour. Hilarious guy! Best journalist for me at the mo. Informative, in depth and OCD, doesn't shy from critiquing, isn't afraid of innuendos and swearing and adds humour and sarcasm to it all. Brilliant Matt! (I'm originally from Wolverhampton)
When matt give a review you expect the best of best no detail isn't missing
If anyone flashes you for overtaking the overtake is totally safe... They wouldn't have time to flash otherwise!
Great review here Mat! We are all gonna collectively miss this G63😭😭😭 Aerodynamics of a house but the firepower of a supercar!!! What's next? I can't wait!
Matt should be paid enough to afford a g wagon. He has built carwow into what it is today. Give the man a damn raise.
Goodbye, and farewell, gorgeous Mercedes G63. Remember all the great memories and experiences you had with Mat and Carwow, never forget how adored you are. Every single one of us will miss you, but don't be sad, and keep on going and stay happy!
9:51 The seat was happy to see you, Matt
I'd think that you "being Carwow" atleast the face of it, the one that built Carwow to what it is today that somebody would pay you enough money so you could easily afford one... What a shame! It's my opinion that you could go off on your own and make what the entire Carwow company makes if not more. If you were to do that, Carwow would be a show of the past and the CEO of Carwow will be the one that couldn't afford a G63.
It's not only about buying this car. The cost to run it is huge. Gasoline, service etc... He probably can afford it but it would be a waste of money.
Couldn't agree with your comment more. Matt has made traditional car review companies such as What Car? and Autocar obsolete. Makes videos interesting despite, me not having the money to afford any of his cars that have been reviewed....
I think he could aford it with finance but why would he. He can get a free press car when ever he wants. Rather save money and buy a house
Do you understade, that he is a face in the first place? We do not know anything about writer of any given review as well as don't forget the production. Its mental.
You do realise that he is not the only person making these videos?
Matt: Slamming the side doors. Me: Now that's alot of damage.

This was a good comprehensive review of things one wouldn’t think about until he/she lives with a vehicle after purchase. For his effort, Mr. Watson get’s a solid “A.” Mercedes gets an “A” for their engineering though at this price, should go the extra mile and address those niggling issues. Regardless, I’d take this G as it is because its amazing.
Great comment about applying the brake instead of flashing your lights! Could not agree more!
the editing and cinematic quality keeps on improving from video to video. I approve (: (And i should mention the jokes are still spot on gj matt )
Some very helpful, real world information provided here. Thanks.
Funniest automotive journalist EVER!!! Simply LOVE what you are doing Matt. AWESOME WORK.
The Android part hit hard lmao
😭🙃
This gen of g wagon especially amg g63 made me fall in love with this car
The editing on that intro was......... WOW😍😍
Matt you are very entertaining and funny. Love watching you.🇦🇺👍cheers, from Melbourne Australia.
There is a general problem in the UK where overtaking on roads is now frowned upon and people get super angry no matter what car you are driving in. Performance, or expensive, cars get +100% hate though.
Yep - people are losing the ability for safe overtaking. I was following a slow cattle van doing 36mph but the car behind that was a BMW M4 that didn't overtake it on an empty, clear road with 60mph limit! On the first clear stretch , I waited for the M4 to go overtake. It didn't. On the next clear stretch I safely went past both in my borrowed 1.0 Citigo! Then after I went past the M4 realised maybe his 400+BHP would allow him to get past and finally overtook!
Tbf people that overtake either have massive egos or have egos and are a complete dicks to other road users. If it’s safe and there’s no danger involved feel free to overtake but you don’t look cool, you look like a knob
The cinematics in your movie looked like u were on TopGear 🔥💯
this and the land cruiser are my favorite v8 suv's. one is flashy and the other is utilitarian. and each the best in their spectrum imo
That can dare call itself a proper longterm test review. Matt is the best
Matt is so poor he just can afford that small g wagon. Carwow needs to give him more because matt made them ( carwow) what they are.
he can affoard Jimny for sure tho
@@arturssisenis4628 used Jimny )
yea, the g wagon is just a casual 150 grand
Carwow does not sell cars
They just refer
carwow reminds me of Top Gear UK with Jeremy Richard & James, absolutely love carwow & more especially Top Gear ❤🙃.
Man g63 amg is quite a good daily driver. Just dreaming to own one of these Anyways nice work carwow with the cinematics keep it up I want more of it. 👍
Unbelievable G. No question about it. The best and the most expensive off-roader I've ever known. So gooooooood is it's performance!
That intro was great level of filming!!
14:53 When Matt just had enough hahaha
Matt is hands down a good reviewer heyy💯🔥, goes over the facts with a bit of humour too😂
love the scale down model MATT...awesome!!
If you have the MB Live Traffic Service there’s really no need for CarPlay or Auto. Navigation is brilliant.
0:30 I thought he said "what the f**k"
The editing has been getting extremely better chapeaux to the editor
Auto sunroof closing is an impressive feature. Nice touch that it’s not an optional extra
14:45 exactly the same thing in Ireland.
You need to add 21 metres of thinking distance to that 53metres stopping distance Matt!
Great honest review.
A great review and many valid points.
When Matt gets frustrated it’s so hilarious😂
Love the bit from around 14:35 about the flashing those who overtake. You should be a comedian, and that should be your first gag!
You just solidified my love for this car
u cracked me up on this one Matt!! Cool stuff...
6:55 Had me laughing , just listen to a 2009 AMG G wagon. That’s all I have to say
Almost all the negative points keep it true to its off road identity and capabilities. Im sure if they got power steering and air suspension someone would complain or say its not as good as it could be due to it having the above mentioned. I respect that from Mercedes and I hope they dont change it.
Great video Matt. You have your Jimny as well don’t forget.
I really like your honest review!
Gofund for Mat to own a G63 😂😂😂 Seriously though this guy is a G63!! The love has been intense. 🤣 Someone get this man a G63!!
I have the hyacinth red on my new E class. I absolutely love it and get allot of positive comments on it I like the G more, but its above my budget. I live in the netherlands, where this G is about 250k euro.

Importeer hem uit Duitsland met een beetje schade. Zo omzeil je de BPM die onze overheid op ons forceert. Een beetje schade hoeft niks meer te zijn dan een kapotte airbag, daarna kan je hem weer erop zetten. Verder als je een contact hebt in Duitsland kan je hem ook op Duits kenteken laten zetten
@@babyj4154 ik koop altijd nieuw. Maar wel goede tip.
I chose melbourne red on my bmw (with the light interior), yesterday it was the only car of any colour parked in my street, all the others were monotonous versions of grey.
I got my G63 in Rubellite metallic. Great dark red. Didn't want the black on blak alongside the other midlife crisis dads I see playing Russian gangster.
I have one I have zero complaints. Possibly the best overall car on the market (IMO). Gas consumption is high and it won't fit in some garages due to height but fits in 90% + of garages.
Re legroom , You need to remember- the car is not that long, although it is quite tall. It's shorter than an E Class, with a shorter wheel base. Next its still got a body on frame chassis with a live rear axle, this drastically reduces the rear legroom but of course makes it amazing off road.
Carwow should pay him more salary. Just love the way he reviews the cars.
21:08 seasons change so quickly from winter to summer in the carwow world
That moment you brought up postman pat that was it.. You're my new favorite person.
14:10 😭❤️
The Best car review channel and host 👍 Loved it ❤ Keep it up carwow team 👍
The intro was like the "INTRO" to A MOVIE
15:02 lmfao
15:00 yes I agree, funny how some people think and act when they see you overtaking 🤔 😂
That intro was very slick. I was not expecting that.
I always have the ambient lighting on red. Makes me feel like i am in a battleship in danger mode.
Hm. When mine arrives in the fall, I suppose I'll try red. Makes me feel like I'm in a cat house;)
14:40 MADE MY DAY! It is the same in Poland :)
That b-roll intro is sick 🔥🔥
I used this car for a few days and it is actually a lovely car. However, few of the things I hate about it is that it doesn't have a keyless entry. And controlling the infotainment is not a breeze.
how can Mat not afford this car? he is the face of this company, I wouldn't be surprised if he owned this company. This guy should be paid way more.
I wanted to see a Amarok v6 195kw vs this G Wagen.
The issue with door mounted seat controls is that they can’t fit everything there. So much stuff is in the infotainment system. Also I am a full proponent of column shifters. My car has one and it’s so nice. I have so much space in my center console for food or my dog or a large bottle of hand sanitizer. Granted mine is mechanical not electronic so I can’t just do a quick flick but it’s still closer to my hand
12:52 someone has hit that passenger door with a football 🤣🤣
I’m convinced that iDrive, MBUX and Audi’s infotainment systems are equally good, people just prefer the ones they’re used to. When mat had his RS4, he always preferred audi infotainment in reviews When he had his 8 series, nothing was better than iDrive And when he got his G63, iDrive just wasn’t as good as MBUX Can’t blame him, it’s near impossible to be completely unbiased, you just know the system better and get used to it so when you use another one it throws you off completely.
The G63 doesn't even have MBUX lmao
Highway code stopping distance includes reaction time, not just physical distance (but agreed, it is out of date)
problem really exists, not in the vehicle, but in the driver
Living with the g63 6x6 would be a good watch, especially on small UK roads
Omg! Matt you are soo right about the overtaking thing! People act like its illegal 🙄
4:05 then there’s me slamming the trunk of my Accord 😂😂
*0:41** matt Exaggerating the effect of bumps on the road 😂*
