2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class consumer reviews

Great ride and handling and performance for a big heavy car. Problem is parts and labor on an older luxury auto. Then insurance and registration, and plates

Before I drove off lot every thing seemed cool as soon as I made it to Bartlett my belt broke. I wasn’t even reimbursed for it.

I love, love this car, but I am having to sell it due to relocation. It rides so smooth and is very clean! I've only owned it since August of 2018, but have enjoyed it very much.

This car met all my need, 1- comfortable riding 2- the King of the road 3- it has many options 4- cheap parts I drove it cross country from New York to Los Angeles, With no issue.

By far my most favorite car I have ever owned! I get compliments every time I drive it!!! Such an amazing vehicle, wish I didn?t have to sell it, but need a bigger car with a back seat so that I can pick up my grandson from school!

This car is luxury and performance at its best! Rides like a dream and drives like a sports car. The dual turbos and the 5.5 V8 give it all the power you could ask for. And the heated and cooled seats, with almost infinite adjustments make it extremely comfortable.

Great car for long trips very reliable . Handles remarkably well considering the size of the car . Don?t let the low horsepower listed for you it will move . Good on gas on the highway iPad up to 25 miles per gallon on the expresswayWhat do you have to watch for is that the car is maintained and that the air suspension is in good shape

Best value for my money. It is Very powerful, solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is better than a Lexus and it handles almost like a race car. It is an executive power sedan. The best.

This car is by far one of the best cars I have ever own, and it should be for the price it was when it was new. It is so comfortable, it has the perfect mix of road feel and softness. The S500 has more than enough power, and it's power is delivered in such a gradual smooth way that you hardly notice you're going as fast as you are. The design of the car has aged much better than most cars from that era, and the interior materials are impeccable. Really for the price these things are going for now it's a steal. The most reliable things on these cars are their engines, the 5 speed transmission is reliable and smooth, but if you get the 7-speed be wary cause I have heard bad things. This all being said, there are some things that you need to know. These cars rust like an old Pinto. It's unbelievable. The Airmatic system is amazing, when it decides to work. You can and will spend thousands at the dealer just dealing with it, either go aftermarket or just replace it with coils. This is an old German car so expect old german car issues. That being said, take good care of it and drive it decent this car can and will last at least 300k miles.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan is about as good as it gets! Excellent ride and spacious, comfortable cabin. Very quiet inside and road noise is muffled very well. Double-pane side glass is a plus. Plenty of power from even the base engine, yet returns respectable mileage. What's not to like?
