Mercedes-Benz S-Class

tested it, the facelifted S300L... Its a nice looking car, better than 7 series in exterior and interior with silent ride which i like most. No tyre noise and wind noise BUT... the ride not stable as i felt the suspension too soft and in hump, u can feel it even though its 4matic suspension. The BAS system which assist you in controlling the brake maybe a good technology but you feel unease as the car are having difficulties in stopping. the brake pedal is hard to press.. the acceleration is quite slow compared to its class like A8, XJ and 730Li and interior is so so. side mirror is small and seat no aircon ventilation....

Tried the S350 and was given the privillege to drive a longer test route. The interior was nicely blended in, a typical level ups in the Mercedes Benz range of the higher quality built. If I didnt forget, it comes with electric adjustable rear seats too which is great for some who likes to have wider leg room. The reverse camera(if I didnt remember wrongly) is also great to have, due to his longer body. The gear stick was different (was by the right side like a wiper stick) and was not used to it at first but later its ok. It comes with good surround speakers. The ride was smooth not because of its big capacity but more of its stability. Overtaking was definately a breeze and cruising was shiok. Overall, its quite a good luxury car to consider, comparing to other japanese makes due to its prestige and built quality but it can match towards other similar conti counterparts like BMW 7 Series, depending you prefer prestige or sportiness in this luxury category....
