I care a lot about my w220, it is a great car and i had 3 of them. Super reliable cars

Nobody hates W220,excluding some W140 and W221 fans/youtubers.It´s a beautiful and great quality car which was much more a technical milestone than W221.It´s biggest sin seem to be that it doesn´t look as big as W140 and W221. I do like W221,but to me it´s not cozy at all unlike W220.Also,bad thing is that you are stuck with the W221 boring brown/black-white coloured multimedia,whereas with W220 you can replace the Comand with Android unit.I also think W220 interior is very elegant,much better than W211. So,these are matters of taste and opinion. One thing that is not an opinion but fact,is that there was nothing wrong with the earlier W220s except rust.Facelift-cars are technically the same as their were before,only little more decorated.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my W220 S55 AMG! As much as it has broken my wallet, I still always geek out about how great it is! It has the presence, it has the aggression, it has that low growl, and it's blacked out. I did want a W221, but the version I wanted wasn't available nor affordable yet. The W220 is criminally slept on, especially those facelifted versions. And like James May said, it's the incredible shrinking car. You put everything in sport mode and it feels like a C-class. I also feel very cocooned in the W220. It's such a great car

The Mercedes S-Class W220 (1999-2005) gives me Midnight Club vibes for some reasons.

I own a w220, and it is the most comfortable vehicle I've ever owned. It is only the bodywork of this era of Mercedes that let's it down. Because it is so good mechanically, I've spent an obscene amount on restoring the rusty areas. Though not perfect, it is now ready for a new lease of life.. . . And I think this is the most stylish of the S Class models!

Actually, w220 have better materials in the interior than w221. You can find cheap plastics in w221. You can check the Daniel Kon's video about comparison of these cars.

220 was the best reliable everything is accessible and easy to fix if you do it yourself take it to the shop you’re going to spend an arm and a leg

W220 is better

Tales of the modern S Class feel authentic when narrated in an eastern Europoean voice.

I love my W221 but if I could find a 2005-2006 W220 with the AMG sport package especially in black or silver for the right price I would buy it ASAP

I love them both honestly. Although I was never big on the w221's rear wheel arches. Thing is though, what is the most reliable w221? I hear the 7 speed trans is not a good unit and some engines have issues. I have a w220, and it's meant to have the bullet proof m112 and 5 speed trans combo. What is the bulletproof combo for the w221? The early 5 speed with which engine?

W220 was a bit of a disappointment, but the C215 (Coupe version) was a much better car, the interior was significantly nicer inside and so were the materials, the body was also aluminium, magnesium and plastic so doesn't rust like W220. If W220 had C215 quality (C215 was 30% more expensive) then it would have been a much better S Class.

I bought my first W221 S550 2 years ago and although it's had some issues it's never been anything too major and only a dead starter has left me stranded one time. The engine has never had issues, the transmission has never had issues, and I've only replaced a suspension compressor and a strut. Airmatic is actually really good believe it or not. 170k miles and I am still less into this car infinitely less than a new Corolla. The V8 although makes only 382 horsepower, mated with the 722.9 transmission makes this car fly. Smoking Maserati Ghiblis and Chargers all day. It makes more power than the pre-facelift S55 AMG W220. It may make less than the supercharged S55 but it's not getting absolutely dusted by it. And the trade off is no ABC suspension and a more modern car. If you're looking for the most affordable S Class this is definitely going to be it and it's still a great car.

Is it true this car year 07 is terrible ? Ör can you go for it or do you have to go for 08 ?? Thanks !

I drove a 2000 S for a while and loved it but like my 2013 S5 50 formatic much better. I feel like the inside is nicer, and I like the look with the extended part over the wheels. Both cars drive great. I have not had a 2013 long enough to comment on reliability versus the 2000. The only issue I had with the 2000 was the air suspension. I drove the car for 3 1/2 years and had absolutely no issues with anything besides that. My 2013 I picked up this month with only 46,000 miles on it.

06 w220 brilliant silver with amg pkg is the best mercedes, sexy inside and out !!! Fenders on w221 is ugly that's why they dropped it.

I love my black 2005 S 500 4Matic I’ve had it for almost 7 yrs now and is a pleasure to drive I am going to get a 2012 S550 4Matic next week. Both cars are great and I remember yeeeears ago the W220 was a sexy car especially the facelift and AMG

I don't actually drive my w220, my mum does. Which is cool as I love to watch the w220 driving away. Good looking, significant looking lump. Always liked the headlights as they remind me of the Maybach of the time.

I like my w220 S350, of course it has rust but it has been reliable for a long time, and the thing i like about it the most is the fact that everything is easily accesible on it

At least in the USA the main issue that people had with the W220 was rust. My boss bought one and in Kentucky (the south not rust belt!) it rusted out within 3 years. I thought that they were nice cars but you rarely see them around here that don’t have rust on the bottom of the doors and the wheel arches and trunk edges. You NEVER see that with the W221 or W222

The best is and always is a W140 .... I have an addiction ...

I love my black W221 S550. I debadged it, tinted windows, custom exhaust, and ECU tune, yellow fog lights, and german front plate. People ask if it's a new car and it's a 2007 with 104K miles.

How much expenses are associated with owning W221?

w220 is da best 03-06

why i love your page. you are so funny my God

... There's nothing really wrong with a w220. The newer the merc the further it is from the values that a Mercedes benz was all about. The air suspension and most of the maintenance will kill your pocket. But this car is strong. It was well built

in my opinion it is one of the most beautiful Benz S Class ever produced, it will be its streamlined and soft line, with almost no edges, its elegance in the form of simplicity do yes in my humble opinion. today they would not be able to combine Elegance and simplicity all in one again, both inside and outside, it is really one of the S-Class, really well done. I love that car, you can really define it as an undercover luxury. this is my opinion about it.

Mmmh I currently have a 03 W220 430. It’s fine. The airmatic suspension is a treat to ride on. It’s big but manageable. My mom always says S-Classes are too big for her (she has a c207)but she takes my car everywhere. The M113 engine mated to the 722 trans is a reliable setup. It may not be the best S class as far as presence or interior quality or rust protection🙈 but it’s not a bad car. Design wise I think the W220 has a more timeless design than the W221. I came from a R129 to this car and I almost cried (I wasn’t ready to sell) but once I drove it I’m like damn this is smooth😌. Oh and I dream about the AMG W220s. I want an S55 or 65 My dream V12 would be a W221 S65 though

I love my 2003 W220 S320cdi (facelift with new diesel engine). 1.The 5 spd auto box was in 2 series of Porsche 911's, Jaguar Supercharged XKR, as well as S600 of same years, Maybach etc. Needs to be reset now and again to relearn driving style. 2. Max Torque - Hits the 500nm max torque mine has from 1700rpm - 2300 rpm. other examples - From idle1000rpm 280nm, 1200rpm 375nm, 1400rpm 444nm etc (think get picture). Have to take it to Comfort mode in rain so gearbox from idle is in 2nd when it pulls off, else in Sport which uses 1st gear on takeoff, you just see Orange Triangle. 3. So far I've done 240,000kms and apart from Std - 1 x water pump and air shocks twice. Doesn't use any oil etc etc 4. Economical!! - Fuel Usage - 8,9-10.4 ltrs / per 100kms for solid traffic driving (done 300kms over 9hrs at average under 30kph), and on freeway anything between 120kph uses 5 ltrs / 100kms, and 160 kph using 6,9!! 5, Most NB tons of new cheap parts. Standard 225/60 or 65/16 Tires take African potholes easily without any mag damage or sidewall ballooning, and they cost the same if not less than a new set of Corolla ones, lol. 6. Easy for a DIY mechanic to service (all filters at top take 10 mins to chg all), and loads of space to work (more commercial straight cylinder 6 design in mind than 320d's v6s of time went into M's & G's.!! 6. MOST NB w220.ee wiki webpage, apart from mbworld.org forums...7.Favorites - I love the car in White, Bose sound (with aux female input), Massaging and Dynamic Active Seats, Dual Zone AirCon, Keyless Go, Space etc etc She's 20 next year 😍💗 I let go of a mint Mr2 Spyder with hard top, 40,000kms etc and kept the Benz when had choose. Less on parts. Less on gas. This idiot can work on it. 8. Window open, she idles and sounds like a brand new slick city bus re engine and gears, with the dump sound of air tanks releasing now and again, She's THE BUS!! Floor her and she flies!! Sorry for essay.

I have the face lifted S430 W220 And I can agree with many of the things being said. I do enjoy the car however I find myself wishing it was AMG car with more power and a little more aggressive wheels and Body moldings Because it isn't fully committed to being all luxury either. So pick one. I also absolutely hate how my light tan interior has aged very poorly and not withstood normal day-to-day wear and tear very well. All the high contact points have faded and worn in a very ugly manner.

I own a 1999 S320 LWB W220, sails like a galleon, had a 1999 S430 SWB W220 but regrated selling it. My biggest regret is selling my 1997 S320 LWB W140.

As it ”rapes your wallet”🤣🤣🤣🤣😭 You’re a funny dude..

W220 have better transmission and engine from any other Mercedes

I think that the AMG versions is such a emazing car

I love both of them, just like listening to Ja Rule and 50 Cent

I'm glad nobody cares about the W220 as much, the S55 AMG model can be scooped up for so cheap. They're reliable (for an AMG) and have tons of power. I would never buy a non-AMG model W220 though.

standard factory,w220 sexiest s class ever! its like X350 jaguar!

You are calling it double 2 2 1 so that stands for 2221 🤣

The 220 had no presence. Not exactly ugly but as you said, ZERO presence. Unfortunately they had the Jappanese design the 221 so it looks like a Nissan Maxima on steroids. W140 was the last real S-Class.

would love to thank everyone for hating my w220 as i bought it for £1200

I care about the W220, I had one for 10 years or so and thinking of buying another one... Ia just a great car, nothing more!

220 уменя уже 19лет самая надёжная Мерс

you are heavily misinformed about the w220. I own a 2005 s55 amg and it is an absolute amazing car all around. the interior has super materials compared to the w221. far less plastics but the w221 has a better design of course along with technology. since I own the amg variant it has abc and it rides much stiffer compared to airmatic. the steering feels responsive and not too numb and boring feeling like newer s classes. w220 is more reliable in every aspect minus abc/airmatic. I truly love this car and also you have to only look at the facelift w220 they are much better in every aspect compared to the prefacelift. the styling looks much more modern and more presentable. I still prefer the w221 and almost every other s class generation over the w220. the amg variants are a must to own they are true sporty feeling drivers sedans with minimum body roll with abc sport activated.

W126 300sdl was the best

No problems with S400CDI W220.

The headlight of the W220 looks more beautiful than the bug eyes W221 headlights and the sleek body of the W220 speaks for itsself

W221 is 🔥

انت على خطأ .....w220 افضل من 221

W140, W221 & W126 ❤ W222 😊 W223 🤮

I care about my w220

W220 stil good ... w221 not bad but not like .. w222 stil the best

W220 is the only s class that i hate because of the way it looks and just feels like an e class

Best Merc is 220 55k. Period.

All these are bollocks, THE 140 is THE KING! and W126 is THE KING's FATHER!

I don't know how many s class did you own but I had and I still own two and I can assure you that your information in this video is just rubbish!

🤣🤣🤣 no cares, w220 does look nice

Ahahahahahahaahaahahahahahahahahaaaahaahahahaha….

Акцент конечно awful ))))

Mid 2000’s Mercedes’ were all junk.
