Porsche drives better but in order to get a comparable Porsche it requires buying the Cayenne GTS or Turbo which means you are into the 143-160k range vs a nicely equipped car like this for 40k less.

You need to ask yourself, how much power and speed do you need when you live in the U.S.? 0-60 in 3.2 seconds is pretty fast. I have the 2023 Hybrid Parnamara 4 and it drives like a dream and holds the road like the wheels are eagle talons. Do you ever need to go over 88 miles and hour by while passing a car on a back road. Maybe, but if you do the Panamara 4 can do it in about 4 seconds trust me I know.

@christianhoeppner4443Ай бұрын
Your VIN ended in 007760. That means you were within the first 8000 vehicles or in other words within the first few months of production of this model. That is the main reason why you had so many issues. Btw the maintenance schedule says that all drains should be checked at every 10k mls service. If this was caused by a clogged drain, then the dealer servicing it didn’t do what they charged for. Happens pretty frequently though. Next time you buy a Mercedes, stay away from the first, or better yet, the first two years of production. That’ll usually save you from taking it into the shop all too often.
@JamesSalvatoreАй бұрын
I always service at the dealership and they never checked the drains. Your right I found out my production number also put me within the engines that suffered the most from cylinder scoring too. Thanks for the advice!

I had 2019 2SS Camaro that was the same way man. It doesn’t matter some cars are good some are bad. ALWAYS have a warranty. I now have 2016 Mercedes which I meticulously searched for and went through with a fine toothed comb. Hands down better quality and great experience. And I have a warranty and I bought it outright.

@olivermboya3857Ай бұрын
Im sorry that happened. Tbh modern cars have so many modules and wiring there is to much to go wrong with extorsionate labour rates it just isnt feasible to run one out of warranty. The S Class is not an exception to such problems even simple golfs suffer from the same stuff...JLR products are even worse they leak through the windscreen😭its just a lot. I dont think the S-Class is a bad car though, it just has a lot of shit to make it the best car in the world. If you have 10 things instead of 1 thing for example that means 10 things can break so it seems like things are always breaking but its actually just the demands of owning and enjoying such beautiful machinery. I do recognise that modern design and build quality has become far less superior than the days of the legends. Plastic everything in the engine bay, poorly designed drains, weak seals are all unacceptable😐. Would I still buy one yes...am I crazy again yes but so is every other car enthusiats who pours money into their ever depreciating machine😂 like they say we all know if you want faithful reliability lexus/toyota will always be the way to go.

The Coupe will most likely be my next upgrade to my S-Class saloon. I will aim for a fully loaded example or the highest spec I can afford depending on availability. As a result I may have to settle for a pre-facelift S63/S500 although I may push the boat out a bit for a S560

I’m on my third one since 2018. I drive a ton cross-country & they have been flawless. One issue with the 2018’s oil cooler gasket, but the dealership was great. Out of warranty came to $1400. So happy. Considered the QV, but it’s had too many issues. May get the Levante Trofeo. I’m older and need to be cushy more. Very reliable, as well.
