Loving the Plug-in Hybrid

So far great, the gas mileage is better than I could have expected and the overall experience with the car is fantastic. This is my first German car and there is something to be said for the MB fit and finish and the ride. What I am not loving is the USB ports are limited and do not have enough power to charge my phone, the cigaretter ligher is inside of an ash tray, really 2016 and we have no other 12 volt plug in but one in an ash tray!! So far I haven't figure out how to mount and charge my phone. The other negative about the plug-in hybrid is the trunk is a joke.

My 12th Mercedes but my very first S 63 coupe

Great driving coupe! Love the exhaust note in the sports mode... So 6 months later I absolutely love this car! The High-End entertainment system with 24 speakers and a high-output amplifier will blow your hair back...LOL Seriously Mercedes outdid itself when they designed this car. The power, handling, and suspension system are just awesome. What a joy to drive. Very comfortable on long rides. I held off on purchasing this S coupe for a few years because of the price CPO Benz coupes were bringing, but after having it in my garage I wish now that I had bought the coupe sooner....live and learn I guess. If you can't afford an AMG go for the S 550 coupe. They have some of the same feelings as the S 63 AMG. The brakes on the AMG are a lot more expensive and the AMGs go through tires quicker than the S 550 coupes, but that's why we have Discount Tire isn't it!!

That the car, as wonderful as it is, does not hold its value . Most people prefer a SUV and that has caused the book value to fall and not hold as it once did.

Comfortable but boring

Definitely not fun to drive. Too quite and too comfortable and boring. Too numb and lacks driver engagement. Heavy so too slow to accelerate or stop. Too boaty on corners. It’s more for long distances cruising. Horrible on gas compared to other v8 German cars.
