I have been driving Mercedes most of my life even when I was young growing up my father always had a Mercedes. I love the car and the comfort level is great but I have never been so disappointed with a Mercedes in all my life as much as this time. I live in a gated very nice Golf community and most of my trips to San Francisco mostly no dirt or country driving, in 6 months the windshield crack twice the first time around I took it to the dealer and the cost was about $3000 now less than six months and the windshield crack again not sure if I want to spend another 3000 at the same time hate to drive such a nice beautiful almost new car with the window cracked, I took it to the dealer hoping they will honor some kind of warranty but no luck, Also the Car went totally dead on my few time not sure whey!!! I also felt it has been an issue with the charge because when I charged it totally to 100% and within 3-5 miles it the charge is down to 20% according to the manual I should drive a little longer in 100% charge. Like I said I always drove owned and leased Mercedes but never had to deal with so many issues as much as this one it is either a lemon or Mercedes need to invest a little more time in creating the electric cars with the same high standard and quality they usually offer and deliver to customers. Thank you, ae

Only for the Few

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.

Not a great car for the money.

I Purchased a 2017 S 550 after driving it for one day I realize there was something wrong with the ride I took it back four times and they still couldn't fix it. They were saying the tires were capped and that they replace them but they didn't and then I finally got him to replace the tires and it turned out that the rims were bad. Even after they are done room replacement supposedly it still didn't ride properly. I told them I didn't want to car. After going back-and-forth with the regional manager we agreed that they would give me the price that I paid for the car and then I bought a new one 2018 was supposedly going to have 1200 miles on it but when I got the car and ended up having 2800 miles on it. Having dealt with this for the last three weeks I was wanting to have it be done so I took the car. Unfortunately was having the same problem with the runflat tires and the car ran terribly they replaced all the tires on the car and it was better but the front right seat what is vibrating so I took it to a local tire person and had them high speed balance the tires and they told me that the rim on the front right tire was bent so I took it back to the dealer again and they repaired it not replaced repaired. Anyway finally have the car still does not ride well on the highway I think part of is it to do with the runflat tires. I had a 2012 the car road like a dream. I think Mercedes need to do something about the runflat tires. I'm just about ready to try to get up the energy again to go back and have them try to fix it again. Not what I'm looking to do with my time when you spend $115,000 on a car. Beware of the runflat tires I would not buy another car from Mercedes my next car will not be a Mercedes
