What Car? says
For Sublime refinement; effortlessly classy
Against Running costs are steep
Verdict It’s big, imposing and worth the money
Go for… S320 CDI
Avoid… S5000
- 1. The S-Class is luxurious, refined and epitomises what luxury cars are all about
- 2. The S-Class also comes packed with technology designed to keep passengers safe and the driver in control
- 3. The 320CDI diesel version makes the most sense, with more manageable fuel bills and better resale values
- 4. The electrics are the most vulnerable with the Comand sat-nav system a possible weak spot, while the engine can slip into safe mode and require dealer attention
- 5. Ex-limo and executive taxi cars are easily spotted – thanks to their astronomical mileages – and are best avoided
- 6. The 320 CDI diesel does an average of 34mpg, which isn't bad considering the size of the car, but road tax will cost over £400, because of the CO2 emissions of 220g/km
