Mercedes S Class Old VS New!! // Does New Means Better??

[@martinsmith8175]

I owned a 2014 s class , best car I ever had , did 314,000 faultless miles in it. Best value for money car ever made

I have a W221 my personal favorite simplicity understated classy interior and beautiful exterior new one is tacky and ugly with tech in your face and presented in a 12-year-old boys' version of classy. MB dropped the ball and i hope 2025 goes back to something like the W221 or my second favorite W222.

[@BeastModeYTClips]

W222 is the best s class to date imo. W221 is a great second choice if the w222 is too pricey both are amazing cars and still get you looked at by others and has incredible road presence

[@jusjimmy]

W221 in V12 is the best! S600 2010-13

[@Corey-zg3bc]

I’m still kicking myself for selling my 2002 S600 V12 - it came with every possible option, but the best feature was the engine, smooth as silk, but even in NA (FI) it was a absolute joy to drive…. and the wonderful auto tranny with the slap-stick gear change made it super-easy to get the car in and out of traffic - and taking it up to max speed of 150mph with my passengers even realizing was truly a gas!!!

Personally I went for a 2000 Mercedes CL500 bought in 2020 for £5,500 ($7000) With 45k miles, FSH and in great condition. I never thought I would enjoy the CL500 so much and it is now firmly cemented in my affections. The CL500 is very undervalued at present, with luxurious interior, smooth V8, compliant ABC suspension and a very stylish 2 door pillar less coupe looks.

[@erics9754]

Yes, and yours was built with class and solidity the new one is just a piece of garbage. Sadly money and brains never go together and good taste has nothing to do with wealth so MB probably thinks they made an appealing car when at least to me they made the ugliest and tackiest piece of crap with I pads stuck all over. They got rid of switches that felt classy and responsive and changed for the sake of change. All they needed to do was tweak the W222 a little bit not redo the whole thing it was not broken. What MB should have done is focus on top-quality parts and improve reliability which is true high-end for people who appreciate quality. High-end to me is furniture made to last a century or more high-end cars should be solid like the W140 was. It has nothing to do with let's focus only on tech and bells and whistles lol. They went for the lowest common denominator appeal to idiots who like shiny things and big screens to amuse their small minds and garbage taste.

[@derriancharley574]

My 92 500SEL has soft closing doors too mercedes been top tier luxury

[@mohammedfatani9930]

I have watched few vedios about similar comparison. Most of them think the old one has better look. In fact, it is the best look of S class ever. While, the new lacks the DNA of Mercedes.

[@ThundarrZ]

upon first look gotta say the '14 has the edge by far. When it comes to appearance inside and out. Not sure of the build quality differences

[@seansiew5629]

Well from my MB mechanic advice, w221 and w222 are leaps and bounds ahead of luxury and interior quality compared to w223, and the reliability of the w223 is just garbage enough to be considered luxurious, so I’m sticking to both my w221 and w222

[@patricksmith7380]

I want the older model it never lost it looked 10 years later

[@harparkrat1]

I prefer as well the old model for aesthetic point of view, especially the interior, but is it an used car ? Also old models may have some tech issues like airmatic suspension and leaking oil.

[@joegeorge7868]

Thanks. Great comparison and analysis. I would certainly go for the considerable cheaper older S500. But then again, there are horror stories of old Mercs with huge technical problems that just bankrupt the buyer.

[@a.m.speeds9300]

that's why you have extra $100,000 for maintenance LOL.

[@dannyboii5296]

Most just get a extended warranty for peace of mind but it’s a great car

[@kafklatsch3198]

@@joegeorge7868 any old top tier auto carries this risk... Imagine buying a used Lambo... If you buy a top tier used car you either need to be a do-it-yourselfer or prepared to maintain a car that's wearing out and has more expensive "stuff"... In my opinion, the reason why people move from the w222 to the w223 is because they don't want to have this problem... So stepping down (buying 223) in terms of aesthetics, appearance and just a generally lesser car makes sense on the maintenance side

RepairPal gave the Mercedes-Benz S550 an overall reliability rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars nice. Meanwhile my trusty e39 523i hasn't costed me a single cent for the last 5 years. Nice.

[@rw7415]

My S550 has been nearly bullet proof. One of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned (I have owned over 100 vehicles, and currently own 6). My assumption is that since repairs and maintenance can be expensive, the cars get dinged on reliability - which is not fair. Brake jobs and oil changes are expensive - but are actually super easy so you can easily do them yourself, or find a local mechanic. AIr suspension will need maintenance around every 100k miles, which is expensive but no different than any other air suspension system out there (you know what you are getting into with any vehicle with air suspension - hydraulic syspensions are evern more expensive). Awesome car.
