It’s clear to see why this car is at the top of its class time and time again. This version of the S class is upgraded in every way possible from style to ride to comfort to entertainment. For music lovers, the upgraded Burmeister 4D system has 31 speakers strategically placed to make you feel like you’re sitting in a mobile concert hall.

Although I’ve never written a car review before, I feel it’s important to share my experience with this vehicle. Since I purchased it, I’ve encountered a series of problems, starting with a fuel pump failure that stranded me on the highway. The electrical panel malfunctioned three times, and I faced alignment issues—one was a recall, while the other was due to improper alignment. That was an ordeal itself. I was left waiting over two hours on two occasions for Mercedes to tow the car to the dealership. So much for Elite car services. Despite bringing the car in multiple times to request an inspection of the brake pads, mine you the car had less than 15,000 miles on it.I was incorrectly told that they didn’t need replacement. Eventually, I consulted an independent mechanic, who confirmed they needed to be replaced and that I had been driving on worn rotors. Overall, in just a year and a half, the car has been in for repairs seven times for a number of reasons. I have had to rely on loaner vehicles five times, each for over a week, only to find the repairs were still incomplete. In my 30 years of driving, I’ve never faced such a nightmare with a car. It’s such a shame because the car is beautiful!! Regrettably, I had no choice but to trade it in for a different vehicle, and it’s not a Mercedes!

Chauffeur Review, Massive Disappointment

I work as an Executive Chauffeur. When we got this car in our fleet I was excited. Quickly I began to loath driving this car. This car is overloaded with tech. It is constantly sending messages to the dash. There is too much information on the dash and screen. There are too many options. The whole car seems like it was designed by software engineers. Luxury and discerning car owners want simplicity, not complication. Also, there are so many safety features that it becomes overbearing. There are constant beeps and alarms when parking and backing up. The gear shifter is terrible. It is too small and not intuitive. The thumb scrollers on the steering wheel are terrible. The cruise control is terrible. This is not the S Class of old where driving down the road was a relaxing experience where you feel like you are driving a luxury tank in safety and calm. We have a Rolls Royce Ghost in our fleet and it is a reminder of how much more enjoyable, relaxing and simple it is to have simple dials and traditional interior components. If you want an S Class, find a when maintained and clean used one before the MB software engineers took over interior car design. In short, I can't stand driving this car.

S500 with multiple issues in the first two years

2022 S500 with multiple visits to the dealer for issues in the first two years. Battery failure due to some issue inside the car, technology failure, camera not working, all the systems were shutting down for many months before they could figure out what it was. They replaced the front camera and the battery and it seems to be working OK for now. The car is amazing to drive and love driving it.
