Reliability is very high and it gets good gas mileage for its size.
Reliable daily driver, no maintenance surprises. Very comfortable, especially on the highway. Gets better MPG than expected, 28 MPG HWY.

Drives like a dream, feels like a cloud!
I love my Mercedes Benz s class for many reasons. It is very roomy in the front and back seats, especially for a sedan. The ride is incredibly smooth; it literally feels like you are driving on a cloud. Even on very bumpy roads the air suspension makes it a dream to drive on. We just recently bought this vehicle off of somebody and did get their maintenance records. This vehicle is quite expensive on upkeep. That is probably the only downside to it. There is also only 2 cup holders in the front and 1 will only fit a 12 oz can of pop. Kind of annoying for such a luxurious vehicle otherwise.

It has a smooth ride. It still looks new. Doesn't get good gas mileage.
Even though my car is an older model it still looks new.

Excellent cars, with amazing ride, comfort, performance and reliability! And awesome features and outstanding looks.
I really love my car, it is extremely comfortable and drives perfectly with exceptional performance, I will buy another MB vehicle.

The vehicle is popularized.
Based on the interpretation of the vehicle, the car is very durable in terms of the concreted analysis, a conforming feature, of which is highly aggregated in terms of the reputable functionality and the fundamentalism to the thread of the vehicles source, status, evaluation and support system.

Mercedes s500 2004 main issues
Very comfortable, feels like you're sitting on a couch. The main issue that I've had is the computer system in the car. My car ran out of oil and it didn't warn me but it'll warm me for tire pressure being low., another thing that started happening is the air conditioner works randomly
