I have driven luxury cars for many years. This is the finest automobile I have owned. Mercedes Benz has regained thier lost position as the leader in this class of cars. The vehicle is very comfortable, driver and passanger friendly, and fun to drive. What a dream car.

Outstanding car, great handling. I love the new GPS. The interior is great and it is by far better than any other luxury sedan out there.

I love the new S550.The interior is well layed out and compact. You don't have buttons all over the place. The ride is gorgeous as you'd expect, and I don't find anything out of place or an afterthought like the Audi A8. The monitor is built in the design not like a cheap afterthought. Face it, not many of us who own these cars go mad around race tracks, so comfort, drivability, looks, interior layout are more important. They still have to have the element of fun to them and the Mercedes sure does. It came down to BMW7 S550, A8 and IS460. being familiar with all, the S550 was my clear winner with the BMW750 close behind.

This is the most uncomfortable car I have ever driven. As a professional chauffeur who drives fifteen hours a day, five days a week it's important to feel comforable.The noise level is not as good as in previous models.The driver's seat needs a lot of improvment. Mercedes Benz needs to ask "real time " drivers for suggestions.My 1976-450SLC, 1985- 500SEL,1992-600SEL, 1998-S420, 2000- S430, and 2003-500 4matic. All were more comfortable and quiet than the new 2007-550 4matic I have now. Mercedes is not what it use to be.

This Car is No Good

When I started driving, it was very uncomfortable. When I got on the road, the car started slipping. Then it stopped slipping. So I went and drove home to my hometown, Chicago, IL. When I arrived, I turned into my street and my back wheel started drifting. It almost crashed but luckily it did't. The fuel in my tank was OK and it was better then my other car. It looks good but i will never rely on that car anymore. As soon as the weather is better I'll go and return the car. It was not ery fun to drive.

Mercedes S550

The S550 is a great looking vehicle. However, my vehicle has been in the repair facility three times in less than two months of ownership and it's still not fixed. The vehicle is on its third set of tires since I purchased it in June. It is also next to impossible to put fuel in the vehicle at a rate above a trickle.

I have owned Mercedes for more than 30 year and have always enjoyed the ultimate driving experience. I thought I had reached the pinnacle in 2001 when I purchased my new S55. I imagined keeping the car for at least 10 years. Then along came the S550 and changed my driving world. I took delivery on Feb. 14 and have enjoyed driving all of the 600 miles that I've racked up on the odometer. Comfort, performance, grace, style and a luxury experience that I have not experienced in any other car. I am probably the first in my area to take delivery of this extraordinary vehicle. The comments I've been getting are extraordinary from old and young alike. My love affair with Mercedes is reconfirmmed

S550 a Winner

Initially, I wasn't too excited about the exterior look from the pictures, but it grew on me once I saw the actual car. After sitting in it on the date of the delivery, I was convinced that it is a definite success. I have a 745Li, but the fit and finish on the S550 is definitely warmer and more sophisticated then the BMW. Driving it was heavenly, with the 7 speed transmission and the 382hp, the car was silk smooth. I also got the ABC suspension a $3900 option, and I was worth every penny. ABC on S550 is almost the same as the Maybach suspension. Although many criticized Mercedes for its COMAND center being too much like the BMW iDrive, the COMAND is soo much easier and faster. S550 a winner

This S550 is absolutely wonderful. It's a car anyone would dream of owning and driving daily or just some extended trips. It's so roomy andcomfortable, and you can always tell that there is plenty of power left at any speed. A 5 star winner for Mercedes of North America.

The horsepower is on par with my '02 S55, the 7-speed transmission is so smooth and accurate as to be barely there. The updated computer systems are easy to learn, my wife likes the sirius and panoramic roof. The kids like the rear seat redundant controls for the windows, front seat and sunshades -- (7) electronic shades versus (1) previously! Only two complaints -- the standard leather should be upgraded and the electronic door closers should trigger easier like the '02.

We have had our 2007 S550 for nearly one month and find it an excellent vehicle. Both interior and exterior are well thought out and everything works as advertised. It cruises most happily at 80 mph (at 2000 rpm) while getting 25 mpg on premium fuel. A bit more thirsty at speeds below 55 mph. We are quite pleased with our purchase.

For the model year 2007, this is a truly awesome car. The build quality has improved from the previous version. It is back to the glory days of the 92-99 S-Classes. Its still got plentiful innovations. Lots of safety systems. Very luxurious, seats are much softer than traditional Mercedes (pre-2000) Standard Lumbar support on seats now. Surprisingly the new generation of the Command system, like the BMW, is very differnt from the BMW because it is soo much easier to use. Harddrive Navigation makes it a lot faster to pull up info and you got the whole US map in the system already. The power is excellent at 385hp, very nicely upgraded matched by the smooth 7 speed tran. One awesome car.

I have always loved big German cars. I used to have an A8 and a 7 series, but this is the best car I have ever had! Power seems unlimited. The cabin is tastefully executed with a superb fit an finish. The navigation system is far superior to anything BMW or Audi has. This is truly a car worthy of the three pointed star.

I test drove the BMW-750 and Audi S8, no contest, the S550 wins by a knockout. I got the obsidian black- with-savanah cashmire interior and 19 inch wheels. Critics of the exterior look ought to get examined. This car is fabulous looking. The interior is a masterpiece, and "command" is now so simple and intuitive. Performance is so smooth and effortless, this is a driver's car. I also got the "dynamic rear view moniter', what a great safety devise and... "keyless go", what a plesure that is. This car takes the "luxury" sedan to a new level.

The best car I have ever owned! It's smooth and gets pretty good gas mileage. It has room in the back and front! Great technology. I like the backup camera and parking sensors. Not to mention those great massage seats and the panoramic roof. This car is sure to turn heads anywhere you go!

First week: Brakes squeak. Driving the car is fun. Design is great.. Interior - wow, I love it. I get lots of people looking at the car. You'll love it, but not the overall quality, which in my old 2006 was miserable. Buy it. Enjoy it. And don't worry about the quality, just don't keep it longer than the warranty. That's why I only lease them.

As I drove the vehicle, I felt a sense of safety and I completely fell in love with the car. It is very intuitive and has a certain presence as people see you drive past them.

This is my third Benz, first and last S class. The handling on this car is poor compared to my '05 E class with AMG package. The seats are not supportive in spirted driving. The panorama roof does not have a one touch feature. My old car had an altimeter on the navigation, this car does not. I will most likely will try somthing else next time.

I have owned 2 Mercedes cars in the past and by far the new S-class is the best car this company has put out. Everything in this car screams luxury and perfection. The ride is super smooth and even as the driver you feel like you're being chauffeured. The cabin is extremely quiet and the interior is designed to be elegant and clutter-free. The computer console is very intuitive and much more user-friendly than BMW's system. I've only owned the car for a week, so I can not say much about the reliability. But from what I have read, Mercedes has stepped up their game and this new generation of the S-class is supposed to be very well built. I own the s550 4matic an get about 16mpg in the city.

I received this car from my father when I was 16 years old. I'm a materialistic girly girl but I don't just love it because of the looks I get but the actual car is extremely comfortable to drive. I've never had the same experience with any car. I've drove a jeep, ford, hynduai, Porsche, Infiniti, Volkswagen, and dodge. They all even compare to the Mercedes S class. Another reason I love this car is because of the handling. The steering wheel moves easily but has a grip to it. You feel no bumps in this car and it feels as if the car drives itself. I'm 5'10" and I have a lot of leg room in the car. The only problem I've had from it is that it overheated once and completely ruined the computer of the car. Mercedes told me that it would be 8,000 dollars to fix which is a little pricey. Other than that the car is very reliable.
