Luxury, Performance, and Fuel Economy
Luxury, Performance, and Fuel Economy; what else can one ask? Maybe a lower price, but trust me the S class is worth every penny!
2004 S600 Bi-Turbo
It's a great car, very powerful engine. I beat a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 with this car. My car has all the options available plus some more upgrades, so it's a really nice car.
Initial Impressons of the new S Class
This car replaced identical 2000 S Class which had numerous electrical and computer problems. New model is free from these glitches. Never had mechanical problem with Mercedes. Enjoy the quality of the burl walnut and interior appointments. New features that I like are the power trunk,keyless go start on the shift knob, voice control on nearly everything,power curtains, digital readout of tire pressures and a much improved navigational system on DVD. Car remains very responsive with sharp turning radius. I don't need AMG assist for my driving.It appears to me M-B has given us many innovations that are quickly copied by other manufactures.
Best Riding Car I have ever owned
Just recently purchased this vehicle and it has an incredible feel on the road with above average acceleration.I have previously owned an E-Class and this far exceeds it.There is little to dislike about the performance. The mileage is better than expected.
S500 Benz
Bought the car in April 2016 with 96,000 miles. Owned it For 8 months and put 6,000 miles on it. In that time i replaced the Rear Air Shocks, Front upper and lower Control arms, Valve Cover gaskets, PSE pump, rear brakes (wasn't working when i bought it) The car started rusting at the bottom of the front doors because of an apparent design flaw. Massage Seats don't work, automatic trunk open/close doesnt work. My advice would be only fix things that actually need to be fixed and keep up on preventative maintenance like fluids, brakes ect. Fixing everything that goes wrong on this car is VERY expensive. Even with it's problems you cannot get a more luxurious car than this for the money. It's extremely quiet rides very smoothly, has tons of space, materials are very good inside and has the power to pass civics on the highway with ease. Make sure you get a w220 that's had it's common problems addressed already instead of paying for them yourself.
