Great vehile however here are my objections: NO Pass-through for skis. In this day and age there should be a pass through the rear center arm rest for skis or golf clubs etc. There should NOT be an up charge on the 500 series for rear seat heaters. When you pay more than $80,000 for a car the rear seat heaters should be included. Needs one DVD for navigation s¥ßtem not 7 cd's

I hate this car. It is so stupid. I regret not getting the BMW 745Li or the Lexus LS430 Ultra lux. I have had nothing but problems since I brought it home. Either the controls don't work or the car won't start. Some times the car feels like locking the door when it feels like it. It has a mind of its own. Even the GPS turns off by itself. COnsidering I paid over $81,000 for this car, I am extremely disapointed. GOOD buy Mercedes, next time, I am heading for Lexus!

S430

I had nothing but problems from day 1. While it is one of the best looking cars out there, I had component problems regularly. Breaks were replaced twice inside 15,000 miles, computer board replaced, electrical problems, noise and loose parts creating noise in the cabin, bas sensors not allowing to put the car in gear and much more... The car suffers from many problems caused by cheap or poor quality components used in the build. I hope MBZ will fix their problems for the future - for now I can not wait to finish my lease and get into a reliable Lexus !!!

This is the best of 14 new Mercedes that I have owned, and the worst as far as problems, has something to do with my servicing dealer (not the same as seller) When you fill out a poor satisifaction report on a dealer they are informed of you name. Beware!!! they will get even, through no loaner available or excess charges, This may be my last mercedes because of them

Wonderful car with a lot of interior space, convenient features and Keyless Go is a really cool option that lets you not use your keys, it's like a credit card, very neat.
