"To be honest I did not want to buy a large sedan like the S550. We had to as our family grew and I simply had NO other choice because we already had a SUV and I would not buy a mini-Van......ever! We looked at the BMW 750 and the S550. It was almost immediate that the S550 won our kids over. We brought them with us to 'test drive' the kids space and back seat areas. The MB is far superior to the BMW, at least to our kids. Like I said I did not want a big sedan thinking that it was more of an 'old man' car, so I decided to pick up one a few years old. Found a 2007 with 28k miles on it in the color combo my wife liked the best for $43,000. Less than 1/2 of what they cost new so I felt pretty good about the purchase. I found my car in Dallas and had it trucked to me. I had never seen this particular car before only had the dealers word on its quality. I will say that I have purchased my last 6-7 cars online like this saving a LOT of $. The car showed up with a few small blemishes I was not aware of, but they where NOT a big deal and the dealer stood behind me when I found a part missing and replaced it very quickly. Anyway, the S550 is a seductive car. Classy looking with a ride to match. The drivers seat is about THE most comfortable I have ever sat in. I am a 'car guy' and have a Bentley GT that is not even close to as comfortable as the S550. But that is not why you have a Bentley....... I now look forward to getting into the MB every chance I get. The car looks better every time I pass it by, and it is VERY solid mechanically. My kids still LOVE the back seat room and all the places they can put their stuff. The seats are very durable as our kids put them to the test. The car has 380HP which sounds like a lot, but it just does not 'feel' like it is ever really working. Silky smooth and I suddenly find I am going 50mph in a 30mph zone or 80mph in a 55mph zone. That is what radar detectors are for so I keep mine on anytime I get it this car! I would highly recommend this great looking, intelligently designed car that will NOT disappoint anyone in the family."

"I beleive the comfort is the best i have experience. The performance matches what my previous car (a G35xS). I would recommend to others. The gas is a little more expensive, but it combines fun and luxury for a great value."

"I bought my three year old auto pre-owned and people are still amazed that it is perfect.... not great.... perfect. It looks brand new and the mileage is low. The car thinks, moves, and purposefully forces it's way down the highway with a dignity, style and grace and that no other vehicle in it's class possesses. I feel like the empress of the world wrapped in one of the safest cars of all time."

"This car is effortless in so many ways. It rises the bar for what automotive safety should be. It has breathtaking technology, and overwhelming performance for its weight and size. This car cannot be compared to anything else, cars are compared too it. The s class has been nown to showcase mercedes-benz's latest and most advanced sytems and computers. Distronic plus and the second generation pre-safe is what catchs my attention. The way mercedes thought about all of this and rethought it all again, was extrodinary. So much effort, time , and engineering went into the overall car. The engine is more fuel efficient than previous models. And the way mercedes uses organic and recycable materials for the seats. This car is the greatest car in the world, and there's possibly more models to come."

"I have now owned my 2007 S550 for 1 1/2 years and have put 18000 miles on it. I cannot tell you about reliability because I have no issues. The car has been perfect. It is fast, a driver's car, tomorrow's electronics, and amazingly enough, very economical. I average almost 19 miles per gallon overall and over 24 on the highway. Having had the Lexus LS before, there are three major differences. 1) The S class allows you to work the GPS and map while you are driving. On the road, in traffic this is a must. I may have my wife do it while I am driving if complicated, but a must. The Lexus locked me out. 2) It is not boring to drive. It is a driver's car. It has picked up a lot from the older BMW 7 series in that you feel enough of the road to manage it, enjoy it and own it. 3) the interior just feels and looks richer ... leathers, wood, stainless steel buttons, etc. The negative is that the sound though the microphones for the blue tooth phone is bad for others to listen to."

"I own a 2007 S550 4Matic, delivered first week of November 2006. Summary: great ride in terms of handling, performance and user-friendliness, but major quality problems during the 10,000 miles, I have owned the car up to now. Major quality problems up to now: 1 the engine had been wrongly mounted, causing vibrations in the powertrain. Mind you, the front axle and the steering column had to be decoupled to be able to replace the engine mounts! 2 engine oil sensor was defective, requiring two stops at the dealer and exchange of the sensor in the engine 3 the premium leather of the front seats had been improperly stitched and wrongly put over the seats. Result: the seats had to be redone. 4 the anti-lock brakes have locked twice. The dealer has not been able to find out, what happened. 5 the wiper/washer system at times wipes, when there is no water on the windshield, and at times does not wipe, when the windshield is full of rain water."

"It doesn't matter if your driving 10 miles or 10,000 this car will baby you every step of the way. I've had four S class cars since 1996 and this is the smoothest one of the lot."
