Almost exceptional

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.

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.

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.

This is the best car that I have ever owned. Beautiful exterior and interior. The car can drive itself, but I much prefer to have fun driving it myself. The handling is outstanding. Talk about the quiet inside. The only complaint that I have is the voice recognition. I have to repeat myself several times, but it may be me. Recently stopped by state trooper (not speeding) but for not displaying front license plate. I could not ruin the front grill with the plate. The car is a "head turner" and I get a lot of "thumbs-up" on the road. The only problem that I've had with this car was a software issue with the back up camera. Eventually the dealership worked out the problem and everything is okay now. Having driven it now for 6 months is a truly magnificent automobile. Still love the car! At times the voice recognition drives me crazy! I do not think that it is user friendly. I am very disappointed with the tires on this vehicle. They are extended Mobility tires or run-flats. I actually hate these tires and do not know why Mercedes puts them on the car. These are Goodyear tires on a 20 inch rim. I cannot wait to get rid of these tires and replace them with Michelin. I have already replaced the two front tires. One at 18,000 miles and the other at 20. There was still good tread on both of them. The first had a tear in the sidewall and the second one was a blowout. The car is in excellent riding car but I am sure that these tires detract from the ride. No more run-flat tires for me. The side walls are too stiff and thus do detract from what could be an excellent ride. I still love the car. There is still an occasional fight with the voice recognition on the command system. I absolutely still love this car. Unfortunately the two door coupe S-Class will be discontinued as of 2022. If I had the opportunity to buy another vehicle I would buy another one. I get compliments all the time about the look of the car. The performance is still outstanding. It is still an outstanding vehicle. It is a shame they have ceased making this model as of 2022. I would buy another one in an instant. There will be no other S-Class two-door coupes. They will continue the E-Class. Still love it and wish I could buy another one. Get compliments all the time !!!!
