2010 Mercedes-Benz S-Class User Reviews

Pros

Power, Smooth. THIS IS "THE" CAR FOR TALL FREAKS LIKE ME

Cons

4 Seats Only

Purchased As New

THIS IS THE CAR FOR ANYBODY OVER 6'3". I am very very tall and I always have to put the seat to the maximum back position. I actually have to put the seat forward 8" from the back. In my opinion, a 7 FOOT TALL GIANT could be comfortable in this car.

Pros

True Mercedes Benz, luxurious, powerful, packed with technology, and vault-like.

Cons

Mind numbing amount of technology I'll never use.

The S Class is still the car to get in the ultra-luxury segment. It is easily the best long distance cruiser in the world right now for four adults. My dad just got one (previously owned a 2002 S55 AMG) and the car is just incredible. There is no need for the S63 AMG, unless you want to show off. The S550 has more than enough grunt and is every bit as luxurious as the other models without being showy. The seats that hug you are a particularly nice touch. I love the panoramic sunroof, the rear seat controls, the tv's in the back, and all the other electronic gadgets. Some are pointless, I don't like the nightvision. It seems distracting and a waste of money. The Driver's Assistance Package is OK, but a bit overkill. But besides all the technology, you have to admire the QUALITY of the car. The leather is thick and will last a lifetime, the whole body of the car is rock solid. Everything is soft to the touch, there are no gaps, the wood is just beautiful, the trunk is HUGE, the S Class is the perfect sedan. I can't think of a better sedan out there. Driving the S550 is also quite rewarding, there is NO body roll and it drives like a much smaller nimble car. The torque seems endless. The cabin is silent and buttery smoothe. The only close competitors I can think of is the Audi A8 and the new Jaguar XJ. I haven't riden/driven the XJ yet. But the Audi is also an extremely classy luxurious sporty ultra sedan. But the suspension is not QUITE as smoothe as the Merc. The BMW 7 Series is too harsh, the Lexus LS is too soft. The Mercedes Benz S Class is the best of the best in the automotive world. Green metallic paint on cashmere leather makes a striking combination by the way!...read morehide

Pros

Serene Styling, Quiet Ride, Spacious, Split Screens Feature is Outstanding

Cons

A little too much wood inside of the car, I would like the old side mirror better than this one

Purchased As New

Overall this car is both elegant and good looking. The addition of the LED lights in the front and rear make it one great car. When you get get in it it makes you feel like your at home. Stiching of the leather is very well done. I hoped to get a lot more horsepower for 2010. But it's the same engine as the older one. Mine didn't break down yet but I don't know if it will keep going that way. Anyway, it's a great car....read morehide

The BEST LUXURY car in the world, completely serious. Ride, interior, power, show-off factor.

I love this car, I've always wanted one, and after two Es I finally got an S-Class. The features are amazing, including the night vision, the adaptive seats that hold you in place when you turn, the massaging seats, the sublime air suspension, the massaging seats, the panoramic sun roof, the blistering acceleration (the engine is amazing and high displacement V8s, like the one in my S550 4-Matic, are much, much better than the turbocharged low-displacement V8s like the one in the new 7 Series. I drove the 7 and I know this car is completely better. This car is the most used limo by diplomats, it's luxurious to nth degree, and the show off factor is very high. This is definitely the BEST LUXURY CAR in the world and I even think it's better than the Maybach and the Continental Flying Spur....read morehide
