Mercedes > Mercedes S-Class Mercedes

How the other half..........................drive

Advantages: Badge, safety features, equipment, comfort, refined
Disadvantages: Cost of ownership, cost of extras

...Would you consider the latest Mercedes S Class saloon? It would take a brave person to spend that sum of their own money on a luxury car, would they get value for money, would it live up to expectations & would you get satisfaction from it? My experience of the new Mercedes 320 S class came quite recently, a 60 mile drive in one & a 60 mile return trip as a passenger, if you want to find out how the ‘other half’ live & drive, read on. THE MERCEDES ...
...the world the S class Mercedes is the company’s flag ship model that costs between £55.595 for the ‘basic’ model & £148.290 for the top of the range one. For that sum of money you get a choice of petrol or diesel models with various levels of luxuries although I do find it hard to believe there is a £92.695 price difference between the basic & top of the range models. However, lets get too over excited here, even as lottery winners you want value ...

Review of Mercedes S320

Mercedes S500

Advantages: A car to judge all others...
Disadvantages: 25mpg (though the benifits do out way this)

I purchased this magnificent car about 4 months ago. You hear the likes of Jeremy Clarkson say... "if you want to know whats going to be fitted in cars in the next 10 years, well look in an S class." I actually have the S500 Limo Petrol model, that 5.0 litre V8 engine is more than enough to get this sizable car accellarating in an instant. This car brings new meaning the the words "spacious" and "luxurious". All seats are electricly movable (even ...
...which is very very nice on those hot days. Enless other gadgets such as electric blinds, fridge, TV/DVD, car phone, voice recognition, distronic and triptronics make this car the ultimate vehicle which all others are judged by. Concidering buying one ? Take me word for it, it will be the best purchase you have ever made in your life. When your crusing along you know people are looking at you and wondering "what does he do for a living..." Being ...

Review of Mercedes S 500

Sumptuous Luxury, Cheaper Than You Think

Advantages: Highly respected, classy cruiser, well equipped
Disadvantages: Image is wrong unless you're old and fat

...the road, however, is the Mercedes S-Class. "Hold on!" I hear you cry, "what about the Rolls Royce?" Well yes, you probably have a point there, but how many times do you hear a motoring journalist whittle on about the S-Class? To see what’s going to be on your car in ten years time, they say, take a look at today’s Mercedes S- Class... And they’re right. What could only be found on an S-Class twenty years ago is bog standard on a Ford Fiesta today, ...
...on the clock, affording a Mercedes S-Class just gets a little bit easier. Take the 2002 model Mercedes S320 CDi, for example. At five years old, this is a steal of a car: costing over £50’000 brand new, today you can pick one up for less than £20’000. To look at, the S-Class is luxury redefined. The exterior of the car simply exudes success without being brash about it, unlike some other Mercedes-Benz models. Silver is the best colour for this car, ...

Review of Mercedes S 320 CDI

Mercedes S320, series 300SEL W140 1993

Advantages: Very high build quality, silent running, prestige, badge, lush, solid, fast, sumptuous.
Disadvantages: Difficult to park, dealer will empty your bank balence, large car - small....... !

Mercedes 300SEL , S320 Limo 1993. How I acquired the vehicle… In my course of work (Mobile vehicle mechanic) I meet a lot of people in the trade. Because of this, I get the nod when any quality vehicles turn up in the scrapper (for what ever reason they were scrapped).... many times this is down to un-economic repair costs. Which are for this beast, astronomical? ...well if you are prey to main dealer prices and practices, cars like this will ...
...thought) Pushing the Mercedes harder into bends is possible and quite fun, but careful use of the throttle / power to pull it through the bends is necessary to avoid too much body roll. The large amount of weight will have the balloon type tyres screeching too. If you are a 30mph lover for all situations then you'll never have a problem with the handling. ;-) I recently did a long distance trip in it and found this is where the Merc' is at its best. ...

Review of Mercedes S 320 CDI Limousine

Mercedes S Class - The worlds best luxury car - FACT!

Advantages: Fully loaded luxury motor leaving passengers and drivers wanting for nothing.
Disadvantages: Can be expensive if it goes wrong if you can't find the best repairshop. Initial outlay cost.

...other car? It is a Mercedes and the best of the lot!!! The S class has been around for many years and is currently on the W221 range, which came out in 2006. The review I will be writing is about the W220, in my eyes the nicer of the two. What you will come to appreciate is that the S class is the benchmark of the motoring world. What comes as standard on the S class today will be standard on a Mondeo in ten years time. The S280 cost £52,000 when ...
...far between. Servicing at a Mercedes main dealer can be expensive at between £2-500 per service. However like most savvy Mercedes owners you can take the car to an independent Mercedes specialist who will service the vehicle for between £1-300 dependent on service, which really isn’t that bad. Fuel consumption is pretty standard with a combined figure of around 29MPG. In the town it can be quite thirsty but when you open her up on the motorway she ...
