Drives very well for used car. Good mileage per gallon when carefully driven, or on highway. Good looks in gray. In sport setting transmission kicks at stops. Wiper not performing well at aouto setup - often too slow to react. Overall comfortable ride. Bit too high seatting position for driver. Once you learn all tech data it is very pleasant automobile.

I had to get the S500 asap. The reason? I previously owned a S500 on a 2 year lease. When the lease was up my wife urged me to get a Lexus & I did (for 2 years) Yes, A lexus is great. BUT a S500 is like no other car. NOW I am soooooo happy! Quality=The Best & Fun to drive & Safety. If You have the cash, GET THIS CAR.

The S500 has a lot but as compared to other luxury vehicles I have been in recently, the s500 seems to be primative. The front seat I find to be very uncomfortable and hard. When I have to go on long drives I choose a differnt vehicle. However, when arriving at a function the s500 still turns heads.

I've owned a number of S Class MB over a 25 yr span. As much as I love driving my current S430, I must say I'm frustrated with the little things that are constantly going wrong. Loud stearing, clock issues, SRS sensors, saggy sunroof cables, etc. But everytime I'm in a loaner and return to the wonderful drive and feel of the S class, I'm reminded of why I keep buying them. Buy the extended warrenty!!!

from the time i purchased this vehicle i experienced steering wheel vibration which was coming from the vehicle tires. on 8 different occasions the dealer has not been able to resolve this vibration problem. the tires are wearing abnormally on the sides and at 5k miles the dealer replaced the whole set of tires. till this day i am still encountering this same problem of constant vibrations and abnormal tire wear.
