This is the ultimate ride. You won't need antianxiety medication if you drive one of these. It's a totally relaxing experience - like riding in a very comfortable living room. I've put the 4MATIC to the test, and it survived unbelievably well. The keyless entry is something that all cars should have - very convenient.

Not great with repard to service response from dealer or manufacturer, many delicery flaws not dealt with and neither manufacturer nor dealer take responsibiltiy -- a real frustrating catch 22 for a vehicle of this cost and supposed caliber.

i just got my S430 a couple days ago and i love it. the interior is amazing. it feels as if you were in first class in an air plain. the engin is very quiet and the handeling is great. the acceleration on this car is also great. for a over 3000 lb car the acceleration is very quick(6.9 sec). the nav. screen is also very big and legable. i also love the dashboard. it is big bright and clear. the tire preasure monitor is also a good thing to own. but my overall favorite thing is the driver and passenger seats. i would use them in my livingroom if i had a chance. they are like floting on a clowd.

Bought a 2004 Mercedes Benz. Changed the front struts, Ac blower , Airmatic Pump, now the back struts. This car is a mess. Don't even try to buy it. You will go broke

Second day, car failed to start. Roadside service hung up on me. Battery replaced, seems ok. Two days later, radio sound went out, came back after setting over night. Repeat a week later. Mercedes service discovered a software upgrade to computer system that had to be orderd. Motor for active suspension replaced.
