People should know that the S430 is big and spacious, and the perfect family car!

I love how big and comfortable my Mercedes S430 is. While it is an older model (2004), it is an awesome car!

Because of the power, it goes through tires pretty quick, plus tires are staggered size. Expensive to maintain

Fast, comfortable. Old school car with minimal driver aids. Supercharged and powerful engine. Wish it had bluetooth etc.

Classic and classy vehicle

No complaints at this time. I highly recommend this vehicle for reliability performance and safety. Living in Florida with the heat batteries die often. Otherwise no major problems with drive train, except the normal wear and tear per mileage. Again expensive but you get what you pay for

Bought it for comfort, handling, power.

Bought new in late '02 ('03model)S55AMG. Now has 137k miles. Had front brakes replaced at 134k, rear fine. No repairs, no plugs, etc. Runs as good and powerful as ever. Rear tires replaced 4 to 1 as front. :-) EVERYTHING works as when I drove it out of showroom. Mustang Cobras, Camaros, Porsches, etc. Don't hold a candle.

Even though it isn't valued at a high price, it costs a ton to fix any part. When driving it, I have to be super careful not to damage it in any way.

I love the luxury feel of my car. The leather is awesome. The sleek design is great too (very aesthetically pleasing). I love driving low to the ground too. All of my friends love driving around in it because it is so spacious on the inside and very comfortable. The only things I would change is having bluetooth connection, and a less sensitive brake pedal.

Black with tan interior. Sunroof included. Silver trimming.

Great on the road, it cost a lot to fill the gas tank. Uses premium gas. It takes 7 gallons of oil which can run up the cost for an oil change. I love the size and the features of heated seats. It has a deep trunk and comes with all the tools equipment for changing a tire. Also has a back window shade that can be lifted on or off.
