I've owned BMW, Lexus, Jags, Porsche and this is my third Mercedes. This summer I sold my 2007 CLS 550. I loved the CLS with a few exceptions. The trunk was too small and I could never figure out how to change the clock (I'm pretty computer savvy). The 2010 S 550 is very different. The trunk is huge ( a lot of room for a golf bag). The Command controller is the silver round nob you see in the photos on the console ( I call it the joy stick) and if you fiddle with it for about an hour you can work almost everything in this car. Changing the clock takes about 20 seconds. The S 550 is beautiful, functional and comfortable in every way. How could it be any better? I can not wait to see the new MB.
Exellent vehicle

This car seems like it was pulled straight out of the autobahn, fast but comfortable. Test drove the 7 series, Maserati Quaduellete, and Porsche Pannera, none of which could nearly compare. I commute between Miami and Tampa every day, and this car is simply unbelievable. Beware though- Sometimes I forget in a American highway and not in the autobahn and find myself doing 130 something in a 75 zone. The rides THAT good.

I purchased my S-Class back in November 2021 with 134k miles and I gotta say as crazy as this may be, this is the most reliable, most bang for your buck luxury car you can get. Now to be fair I’ve, got $3k in to my car. However it’s never left me stranded and $1,800 of that is preventative maintenance. The other $1,200 was for an Airmatic compressor and that’s the only major issue I’ve ever had. Even still I could drive the car. I’ve put 16,000 miles in the time I’ve had the car. It’s ultra luxurious, ultra comfortable, ultra reliable, and ultra powerful (for the size of the car). All of this for the price of a Mitsubishi Mirage (yes maintenance included!) and you’d be a fool not to buy one of these!!!

A perfectly executed modern rendition of classics past. Mercedes had the courage to combine a refreshingly new look with the best design elements of earlier models. The 300 Adenauer of the Fifties comes most closely to mind. The hint of fenders, jewel like tail lamps, the proud grille, genuinely tasteful headlamps in this era of hideous excess. The design elements come together brilliantly, totally sidestepping the grotesque for sake of difference found in so many other current vehicles. Beautifully, beautifully harmonious.
Exceeds expectations easily

I was looking for a "COVID-Car" - something that would be comfortable for road trips of 300-400 miles assuming I won't be flying for a while. I was targeting a 2016 off lease BMW 5 Series when I stumbled on a 2010 S550 with 24k miles on it. Bought it for a song....about the price of a Kia Optima It's ten years old - but still smells new. I have driven Benzes, BMWs and Audis for the last decade - this beast blows them all away. It is fast. It is quiet. It is a luxury ride in a luxury cabin with a luxury finish. I thought I knew what luxury was (see above) - now when I get in my wife's audi it feels like a Ford. It's decent on gas if your drive it sensibly. Put it in sport mode and everything tightens up and it flies. Sure - maintenance is expensive (about 15-20% more than a BMW 3 series). But - and its an important but - [non-permissible content removed] doesn't break easily. A year in with the beast and I have only changed oil. My only concern - if you do commit to this car - be aware that every car after that will feel inferior. It is really that good.
