Best S series yet

Had every generation of MB S class since 1991. This one by far is the best one ever! I can't truly comment on reliability yet since its still a new car. But so far no problems. The drive and the features of the car are great! Plenty of power for everyday driving. If you're a racer, you should be looking at AMG models. Gave the fuel economy an 8. It drinks gas like water, but not uncommon for V8. Think there is definite room for improvement though. Cross shopped against BMW 7 series. Choose this model due to the 7 series getting a model revision very soon.
Second S550 ... first 4matic

I just traded in my 2007 S550 (bought March 2006) with 24,000 miles on a new 4matic with almost every option (list $107k). Obviously I loved my 2007, or would not have bought the 2008. There is a big difference in both the driving and mileage of this one versus my 07. The new one is both 4matic and has the AMG appearance package. It drives more like a BMW, but gets much less gas mileage than the 2 wheel version. By the way, my old one had no reliability issues during the 2 years of ownership.

it is a great luxury car-once i had one i cant see driving anything else! Fast and sporty-so many options i am still learning them all! I had one for two months before I was hit in it -a 50 mph crash and i walked away! My car didnt-so I bought another one! What a safe feeling car it is! Put together solid and with quality parts.

The Best Car I’ve Ever Owned!

Let me start by saying at 48 I’ve owned a lot of cars. BMW’s....Ferrari’s...Multiple Maserati’s...And this 2008 s550 absolutely takes them all hands down. The car has more room than an suv, the ride is the smoothest ever, the power is amazing, features are never ending, by far most comfortable car I’ve owned, Stereo is amazing , and it even gets great gas Mileage. This said if you’re thinking about buying one of these you’ll be happily surprised it’s the most luxurious car I’ve owned...it’s basically a little smaller version of the Maybach

At 70k miles, the car feels like barely broken in. The build and finish quality are outstanding, with first rate materials. Repairs, well, might seem to be on the costlier side, however when taking everything in consideration this is a small concern, as this car is top quality overall.
