Poetry in motion.

This car should be classified as an “exotic”. The S550 Coupe is by far the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Well, our 2008 S63 AMG was a monster, but very heavy. The ride is harsher than expected over rough roads, but it isn’t close to a deal killer. The interior is perfect, but the controls were clunky at first….until you get used to it.

Best luxury car ever!

Hands down the finest automobile I have ever owned. Makes driving very enjoyable! Best ride and holds the road like no other. All wheel drive takes the pressure off winter driving. If you want a smooth ride, unbelievable acceleration and comfort then you should buy this car!

Dream Automobile

Mercedes’-Benz of Bedford is a top of the class dealership. From initial contact to delivery the total experience was a joy. The MB S550 I purchased was everything I could want or dream of in a luxury car. It is stunning! I have back issues and the back support is exceptional. Road noise and bumps are greatly attenuated. Best car I’ve ever owned.

very expensive to maintain

wonderful car to drive great fit and finish not so wonderful on the wallet maintenance is beyond reasonable Mercedes should only be owned during the guarantee period I'm trying the new S model Tesla. My son -in-law owns one and has had no repair issues for 2 years.

Perfect balance of performance and luxury

I have owned other Mercedes and by far I enjoy this s550 the most. Everything about this vehicle has been well thought out . A real pleasure to drive.

Great all around car

Can turn long trips into trips of a lifetime. The best highway car I have ever driven. Dependable with a V8 twin-turbo that can still get near 27mpg on the Hwy.
