A great buySource: MSN Autos...I decided on getting a rebuilt transmission, and not worry about it going out. I was told by a sales person that Honda gets their transmission from a different company that isn't very reliable. Not very comfortable for a long distance drive. If you have to drive more then 45 mins, then get a pillow for your lower back. Granted, I am 6"3 but I have met folks who are shorter then 5"10, and who feel the same way. The seat belts don't retract correctly, so I have slammed the door on my buckle a number of times. Overall: I love this car, it's a great buy. I am going to drive this car until the... |

The German tankSource: Edmunds...Even has a parking assist in 1997 ! I love this car. Best driving car I have ever driven. Parts are very $$$if you buy this used. You can get one for 7K, but make sure it has been taken care of. Mileage is meaningless on this car. Maintenance is most important, and a good mechanic. These cars can go to 1,000,000 miles actually. I think it's in the world record book. The car drives like a sports car. The car is very heavy, so get the S500, not the weaker S430 or S300, there too weak to pull this much weight. And get black interior... |

Elegant ConfidenceSource: Edmunds
...My eighth S-Class, the 2010 S550 is a marvel. Once you master the flush switches and COMAND options, you are piloting the most confident car on the planet. |
