Impressive car to say the least . All the bells and whistles you would expect from the flagship car of Mercedes . It drives like a dream . Im still getting used to all the devises in the car . The dream was a nightmare at first , but my salesman went through everything with me . Im still not 100 percent with knowing all of them , but I'm getting there . The Distronics feature is great . Put it in Cruise and it drives itself . The car slows down when your getting to close to a car on it's own . Now I know why they say the car goes through brakes . I love the run flats . There stable on the road and like the name says - They run flat meaning they will get you home or to a service station , but they wear out faster and the ride is not as good as regular tires . Ill stick with the run flats . They told me to stay away from curbs . The AMG rims that are on the car are more sensitive to curbs than other rims . I love the way the seat flaps hugs you when you turn left or right to keep you steady and comfortable . What else can I tell you ? The car is fast . Take it from someone who also owns a 2007 Corvette Zo6 . The handling of this over two and a half ton car is very impressive . Especially in sport mode . You know you are in something special when you get in the car and even more special when you drive it .

Purchase the car in August 2014 with "all the bells and Whistles Barely drove it, was in the shop every 100 miles. Problems with computer, direct injection. Too many distractions, hard to work heat/ac. The cameras are distracting on the dash. Mercedes is buying the car back because it constantly breaks down and leaves me on the road. 2K miles on the car in 6 months and I drove mostly a loaner car. Not even sure I have a lux car, Ive been driving a loaner. Car was in the shop for a month, got it back and it broke down the next day, Mercedes hasn't even offered a loaner this time. Totally unreliable. If you look on this site you see dozens of them turned in with less than 5K miles.

I just purchased the 2015 S550 Coupe, and I must say that it is a pleasure to drive. Smooth, comfortable, luxurious and sporty. This is the best new car purchase I've ever made.

By far this is the most comfortable Mercedes I have owned. Beautiful interior that no cars can match. Much more leg room in the rear than the GL550.

This is the worst premium car i have ever had. Seriously, it is almost comical that you set the expectations so high in such a "high end car" to be right back in the dealer every 2-3K miles and drive a loaner car. Be ready for constant check engine light on, break problems, ac problems, just to mention the most annoying and apparently commun troubles with the S-550. Last time that i took the car back for a break problem, dealer told me that MB is preparing a "permanent" solution for this situation due to the high frequency of this occurrence (rotors)... really?, at this point, one year after rolling out this model, they dont have a solution for a break fall out? Bummer!
