I have a 2010, and I have separation anxiety. I sat in the 2017, 2018 and I just can't find a reason to switch.. I did ceramic coating on my black 2010 and it looks new and the style seems timeless. I just hit 100k miles and while maintenance is hitting me for an average of $3000 a year (e.g., preventive work) this car has never failed me once (yet)... still drive like new and I've taken it on 2 long 400 mile trips, each drive was a flawless experience.. and you have to be careful because doing 90mph in this feels like 60mph in another car. I have 2 other MB, a 2017 E300 (wife) and 2018 GLS 450... my 2010 S is still my favorite car, ever. *This car also just saved my family and I from a for-sure accident if we were in another car: A car moved out-of-place from a Stop sign into my right of way path on the road (no Stop sign for me, but for them).. I swear I hit the breaks expecting to lighten the impact of what was going to be for sure a side collision into the crossing vehicle... Nope.. the S-Class stopped on a dime, from 40mph, in less than 2 secs, the car was at a complete stop, no screeching, no sliding, just dead instant stop... I then told my kid in the car, when he get grown with his own family, don't drive anything but a MB...

I absolutely love your car reviews, Bill - and it warms a Mercedes enthusiasts heart when I hear that you know these cars very well, and you know what you´re talking about! I have a similar S 500 (as they are badged here in Europe - same engine, though) from 06, and it´s by far the best car I´ve ever had. The power, the comfort, the attention to details... that´s just what makes the S-class stand out in the crowd. I´m confident that the lucky future owner of this 09 S550 will be extremely happy with the car! Cheers from Norway -Michael

The world uses this car in Taxis in middle east and drive for ever. If they can afford it so can you. But you need to make sure you dont buy a lemon in the first place.

When this generation came out in 2007, it didn't feel or drive any different then the late 90s through 06 models. Not that there's anything wrong with that but I was surprised that it wasn't that big of a leap between the two. They did change the front interior of the car and the backseat area remained almost the same as far as styling. But then again that's most automakers for you.

@Scoharr5 жыл бұрын
Well, late 90s were the W140 series - wonderful cars, but a much older design. The W220 series (2000-2006 in the U.S.) were a beautiful design but plagued with electronic woes that were sorted out in the last couple years of production. The W221 is bigger, faster and more luxurious throughout, with a more modern interior but a more detached driving experience.
@MrCarGuy5 жыл бұрын
The later years of W220 being better cars is such a massive myth. Everything about the earlier cars (save for first year, which U.S. didn't get) ended up being more reliable and easier to work on. The early COMAND 2.5 was more reliable than later units with D2B fiber optics and Airmatic suspension was far more reliable and easier to service than ABC (and convertible to springs). This myth is spread like wildfire by the clueless who just parrot the myth everywhere they go.
