good
fun to drive but the lexus LS is better. Plan to trade it in for the LS
NAV System
NAV system does not include all highways and street. I am very disappointed with the lack of streets for all the USA. Delorme Map Co. can put every street in the USA on one(1) CD, why can't Mercedes do the same? Maybe Mercedes should contract with Delorme for navigation map CD's.
s class performance
one of the most incredible rides on the planet and a beautiful site to look at everyday.
stress free driving
its truly a unique experience. Handling on tight corners, and plowing through the rain leaving 4-wheel trucks behind is awesome. Sports package really makes it appealing but for the 4matic front and rear tires are not staggered - the only complaint I have is memory seats require holding the button until completion, BMW-7 one touch and I wish my car had better gas mileage
Car of the Century.
The s430 is one of the best I have owned. Handling, comfort, stability, reliability, power and ambience, out of this world. I can't think of what else to drive after this. I have used this vehicle every day for more than two year, even in the most challenging terrains, yet, it delivers. Knock on wood. The only downside is with the pneumatic door system which fails without easy remedy. Otherwise, it is a good vehicle.
