Traded my 2012 Audi A8L. My Audi was a great car but when you compare it to the look of the 2012 S Class AMG there is no comparison. Then you add the engine comparison and the decision is easy. Only have 200 miles in the car but I can tell you that it is built like a tank, drives like your on glass, and sounds like a dream - both the exhaust note and the bang & olufsen stereo system. That's actually one option that one should not pass up. The sound system is AMAZING. I've had 40+ cars with all sorts of sound systems and this one blows all others away. The price is one that you take with a lump in the throat as the Audi A8 I was trading had a sticker price of $104,000 - $50k lower than S63.

The only way that I could possible love this car is if I had never owned a 2008 version. The "ecco" drive system is a bust. Luxury sports sedans with this much power should not have to be coaxed out of the starting blocks. Add to all of this the fact that I have to add a quart of oil every other month and I'm so mad at MB that I could holler!. Why would you take a perfectly fine luxury sedan(2008-2010) and ruin it like this. I'm also tikced off at the three delaers who told me that there was major differences between the '08 and '11.(I live in a smaller market and none of the local dealerships had a car I could drive prior to purchasing the '11). Future S-63 buyers--Save your money!

I JUST BOUGHT MY 2001 S CLASS AND IT IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST CAR i HAVE EVER OWNED. i HAVE HAD MANY BMW"S AND 2 AUDI'S. i LOVE THIS SO MUCH MORE. iT IS IN A CLASS BY ITSELF. i DID LOOK AT Thre new audi 8. It has this big grill which some like and some hate. From the drivers door back it is boring. From the back is it a 4,6,or 8. Who knows. The s class is just that, class.You must drive it to realize what it can do. I have the P2 package which has the most comfortable seats ever. The sides of the seats inflate as you go around a turn to keep you in your seat. I have the 20 inch amg wheels and the new magnatite black color. It stands out so much and has a young look. Nit your dads s class.
Just purchased a previously-owned 2012 S550

What a fine machine. I had a 1999 S320 that was a fabulous car. I totaled it in an accident; just with an embankment, no other cars, and no one was injured. Thus I was forced to get a replacement. Wow! This 2012 S550 does the job. I have now taken it on some long drives. The technology is great, the ride stupendous, and all indications are that it is an extremely reliable vehicle. Check back with me in ten year. I buy to keep!

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!!!
