The W220 is a seldom-loved model in Mercedes’s long line of full-size sedans. A decade ago, I shared the then popular opinion that it was a basket case of rust and electrical gremlins. However, this view changed as I learned more, and I got a well-used 2005 S500 LWB last December in China, precisely on Christmas Eve. This May, I took a month-long road trip of 8000 km across southern China. In this video, I will share a few facts and opinions about the W220, particularly the S500; then, I will talk about my experience with this vehicle: why I bought it, what problems I have had, and how it did over the road trip.
