S 550

BEST CAR WHAT WE HAD !!! It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. I'm a big guy, 6'3" and big-boned, with two younger children that require car seats. There is still some room behind me with the seat backed up all of the way. The features and smart key are a nice touch.

i own the amg model this car is amazing! seriously

let’s just say that this car has so performance amg or not and the build quality is magnificent. the amg model (mine) has a alcantara headliner and just fits the car. as far as parts go.... this car is older. don’t expect it to last forever but if something happens GET GENUINE PARTS... will the be pricey yes... but it’ll last. also don’t get chinese parts for major things. there are SOME things you can use it on if it’s very simple but just do research. this car is the same pretty much as the next few years up to 2013 i think. the performances beats some of the sports cars to this date and it’s very comfortable... the technology for this age is amazing as well. MPG is not the best but still it’s a very fun luxury sports car

Most luxurious vehicle I have ever owned

I have been a driver for a local MD dealer for approximately 10 years and have driven every model and style Mercedes during that time. I have been watching for just the right car to be traded in to the dealership and finally this 2008 S550 4matic with 30,000 miles was traded in. This review was written on June 5, 2020. This beautiful car was in showroom condition and I grabbed it as soon as I could get into the used car managers office. I would recommend an older S class to anybody looking for the ultimate in ride comfort and safety.

Flagship

Best combination of luxury and performance out there! The AWD engineering is top notch. The air suspension provides the best of both worlds when selecting either SPORT or COMFORT modes.

Could not as for a more comfortable car!!!

This car is truly amazing. Has plenty of leg room in the back seat. It is so comfortable to drive and feels like you are riding on a cloud. All the options are great too..

My first German vehicle and I love it.

This car is excellent and comfort there is plenty of room front and back including the trunk. This car has a great sound system and it has great excellent horsepower. All of the features that this car provides is wonderful. Overall I love my S class 550 German vehicle.
