2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S350 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 5A)
Review
I enjoy the car very comfortable on trips with plenty of room. Electronics maybe too complicated for the MB Techs, because they don't always get the problems rerpaired the first trip. NAV system could be more user friendly, and more modern features. Overall great car
Favorite Features
Sleek design and use of space
Suggested Improvements
All electronics associated with the Command system

2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S350 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 5A)
Review
Lease on my E-class expired. This car is the deal of the year. Engine more than adquate for highway ramps and passing. Interior features are what you expect in a MB- nice stereo, easy to use navigation. Class styling and at a fraction of new (as this more than adequate engine doesn't seem to get respect in the resale market).
Favorite Features
Auto-closing trunk, stereo, performance, gas mileage.

2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S65 AMG 4dr Sedan (6.0L 12cyl Turbo 5A)
Review
Wow! I've driven high performance cars from a Mustang, Porsche, and even Ferrari. This 2006 S65 AMG is an absolute beast on the road. And a classy beast at that. The best way to describe it would be to say it is a rocket! Its super fast from 0-60, and even pulls hard above that! Pure power, smooth acceleration, superb handling and great comfort! If you can find a way to get your hands on one of these babies, its worth every penny (or dollar in this case) I can't wait to drive tomorrow. Sweet!
Favorite Features
Power, braking, clean lines and all the bells and whistles! Love it all, can't say enough about it.
Suggested Improvements
I guess the only downside is the 10 MPG. but you have to live with something.

2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S350 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 5A)
Review
The car is not what I expected. It is very bad on gas. It is also not dependable. But it is very comfortable and I wish I had kept my 2004 Maxima. The cost was more than we had wished on paying. So if I had to do it again I would have to say I would not!
Favorite Features
I enjoy the seats and the steering is nice also.
Suggested Improvements
I do not like the cup holders in the front, and my seats are not heated. For that kind of money it should come that way already.

2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S350 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 5A)
Review
We enjoy driving this one very much as comparison with our '99 E320. It rides very well, very quite, good sound system. We compared it with Lexus and BMW before making decision on this one, one of the reasons is the price. I do have a complaint about the storage compartment between the front seats, the small one on passenger side is almost useless.
Favorite Features
Door and trunk closure is very neat. Back seat is extremely comfortable, and the quiteness is super.

Review
The car is very smooth and accelerates rapidly. At high speedon the highway, I could not hear the engine sound nor the wind outside. Comfortable and spacious. Takes sharp corners easily. I would recommend this car to any one looking for a luxurious ride and all around comfort!

2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S500 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (5.0L 8cyl 5A)
Review
This vehicle has always been a truly remarkably beutiful and classy sedan, aboive all of its competitors. The only vehicle close to it is its older models. Competitors, like Lexus and Acura and such other Japanese companies cannot touch it. Its luxury is unsurpassed. Mercedes-Benz has been the very best in upscale luxury sedans, and always will be - with the S-Class sedan.
Favorite Features
The GPS system is the most ergonomic on the market. Instead of getting to know it, it really gets to know you instead.

2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S600 4dr Sedan (5.5L 12cyl Turbo 5A)
Review
I owned almost every luxury sedans in the last 10 years. It is the best sedan so far. I traded a 2002 S-500 for S-600. The only negative thing is poor gas mileage because this is a 12 cylinder car.
Favorite Features
Best is the suspension and they used the best materials for the interior, so this car is very luxury and very comfortable for both passengers and driver.
Suggested Improvements
Nothing more to be improved, it has everything you can think of.

Review
I intended to purchase a new E350, but wound up with the S350. It's not as quick, but I preferred the 5-spd auto. My old E320 was a great car - this should be as well. $53,500 including Keyless Go & Trunk closer. What a deal!! Ride is awesome, bank vault quiet, frigid AC, huge cabin, all of the good features. Overall it is an exceptional buy!
Favorite Features
Seat comfort, ride, handling, quietness, overall driveability, Keyless Go and trunk closer, auto- close doors, power folding mirrors
Suggested Improvements
Higher quality stereo and navi, better leather, fuel economy

2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S350 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 5A)
Review
I have never driven a car so comfortable, quiet, shifting and excellent. This car has the smoothest ride of any vehicle I've ever owned. The front and back have a large amount of roominess with all this comfort. It has plenty of power, so when you want to go fast, it'll do it easily. Sleek lines, a real head turner on the streets. Just a sweet car, inside and out!
Favorite Features
The excellent power door system. Doors need only make contact to close. The power trunk closer. Great air flow and lighting.
Suggested Improvements
Navigation System is complicated.
