Nothing can touch it for the price

It is the most unbelievably flawlessly driving automobile there is on the market today. The safety features on this car simply cannot be matched by any competitor currently being made today. However do not buy the car if you are intimidated by the number of features this car provide. It takes a very intelligent and experienced driver to take advantage of the available features. It is simply overwhelming.

Only for the Few

2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class AMG S 63 2dr Convertible AWD (5.5L 8cyl Turbo 7A)

This is an older man's super car -- 577 hp, torque to spare, and incomparable comfort. I've always thought that the engineers who designed this top of the line AMG had too much time on their hands, because from the aroma sensor (and control) to the acitvely hip-hugging seats, there are amenties that are almost beyond imagining. Power and comfort, this Benz has it all.

Handles better than our 2008 E550

Expensive, but superior ride, handling, quiet, and very responsive, faster and better MPG than our 08 E550! Many features, finding out more as we drive the car. We were blown away with the self setting clock, the previous Mercedes clocks, tedious when changing time. A truly superior automobile, although I do miss the bullet proof paint of old, the new paint being water based is not as durable.

2016 Mercedes Benz S-550 Coupe Awesome car

This is Ultra luxury vehicle that sets apart the men from the boys even from the lower-class Mercedes in the fleet. Great driver, this car is made for two people not 4. Performance is very good (4.7 Liter V8 twin turbo 449 HP) for such a heavy car, fills like a Bentley Continental very smooth and the fact it's a 2 door makes it very rare. I live near Orlando Florida and have not seen another one. The lighting package is wonderful 8 colors setting, seats are the best in class 6-way message, power boosters that inflate on turns to keep the driver in place. these items are not found on vehicles at twice the price. Steering in very nice at very high speeds with minimal over steer. The only Con is this car drink a lot of gas.

First car I really fell in love with it

I love that the car the sporty and luxurious at the same time. I've been very happy almost every second the entire time I've had the car. It handles like a dream. I like this over the M3, the Porsche 911, and Panamera. I would love that my next car have all the handling capabilities and speed that come in this luxurious sporty car.
