Bought my S550 4matic 7 months ago as a CPO from the dealer. I love driving the car but am glad that I sprung for the extended warranty as well as the service plan. Car broke down the day I bought it. This mighty engine was stopped by a cracked elbow in the coolant circuit loosing all the coolant onto the road. The dash warning in bright red told me to stop the car immediately. No lasting damage was done. Since then I have had myriad of other issues from minor to engine stopping due to a bad ignition coil. I think I have worked out all of the kinks. Can't wait to get in the car and drive it everyday. The ride is superb and the interior is very nice. Fastest, biggest, most amazing car that I have ever owned- I love it on long trips and am convinced the ionizer and perfume make me feel better. The stereo sounds great but sometimes I love to turn it off and enjoy the whisper quiet as I travel down the road. No other car like it. It would not be fun to go back to a lesser car. After about a year I am still loving this car. It has been rock solid. The comfort and ride are superb. The powerful engine makes this car get up and go. The styling inside and out still looks fresh today. I never tire of seeing it. Still very happy I bought this car.

I've got a new S550 sedan. Mostly I'm pleased. However, the fit of the right passenger door wood alignment is off about a half inch. The drivers seat is hard and poorly cushioned. Ergonomically, the steering wheel heater switch is invisible and not displayed. Finally, the Eco mode won't stay off and resets to "on" every time the car is started. Picky, picky, but for $120 thousand, I expect things perfect.

I love this vehicle. LOVE it! I've been a Mercedes fan for quite some time. I previously owned an S-550 from 2008. I loved that car too. I didn't want to give it up and held onto it forever. Finally decided technology was so far advanced that it was time to but something newer and this car does NOT disappoint. It's fast, comfortable, stylish and quite simply just badass. It's such a classy car. 100 stars. It's seriously that awesome.

$135,000.00 - it starting Falling Apart in year 4

I have owned nothing but Mercedes Benz since 1987. Every one of them (except my current Mercedes S550) lasted a long time and I had few problems with them. I recommended Mercedes to my family and friends. My current Mercedes Benz is a 2015 S550 and it has been quickly falling apart since Year 4 (2019). First it was minor things like the Seat and Door Upholstery wearing out (How does the Stitching on a Door come unraveled?). Then it became huge Engine, Suspension and Transmission problems costing tens of thousands of dollars. When I purchased the car I spent an additional $4,500.00 for a 7-year/75,000 mile Warranty. Because I had 75,000 miles in year 5 the $4,500.00 I spent was wasted. My first bad experience with Mercedes Benz was when I reported the Worn-out Seat and Door Stitching. This type of issue is something that takes place over time. Mercedes refused to repair the Worn-out Seat Area and Door Stitching because the 5-year Warranty ran out 2 months earlier. That was the beginning of a litany of problems with the rest of the car. My dealership has been fantastic and asked the Warranty Representative from Mercedes Benz to cover everything because a car like this should not be falling apart in 4 years. Unfortunately Mercedes Benz refused to take any responsibility for this Lemon! I will never recommend Mercedes Benz again. I have been a loyal customer for over 30 years and that loyalty has not been returned. Mercedes does not build cars as good as they used to - sad, but true. Eventually had to get rid of it.

Bucket list car

It eats tires and brakes, and will cost you more for gas as it is lucky to get 16mpg if you do not drive on freeway every day. Definitely would be the car if you did a lot of open road driving at higher speeds. Lots of power for passing even at high speeds. Quiet and great ride.
