Well if you take care of it properly it will always work. These cars only start to nickel and dime you wallet when the owners don’t keep up the maintenance program. Or by those who totally tag them out by treating every single red light like a drag race. I have a 221 S550 now that is amazing and has had zero issues. I had a 97 S500 that i finally traded in with 327,212 miles on the clock with its original engine and transmission. Aside from regular routine services, I’ve only had a few problems. My door lock pump needed to be replaced, I had my Rear accumulators replaced, and a few front end suspension items like shocks tie rods and ball joints, a new starter cause something ate the insulation on the starter cables, a few light bulbs, and I had the transmission shift linkage bushings done, and had it rebuilt just as precautionary at around 200,000 miles despite still shifting perfectly in all gears. I’ve seen people go through all that and more in just a few years on much lower mileage cars. I just think they are kidding themselves when they say “oh i take good care of it”. Then go driving through a parking lot with later. So i expect to have the same reliable service from the current Mercedes s class I’m driving now.
@@vecernicek2 Do you believe that what he mentioned caused serious problems with the car? these are things that are about a car of this class, packed with electronics and technologies. Most of what he wrote is ordinary exploitation - replacement of suspension elements after the mileage is obvious - it's not a fault. read about real problems? go to the bmw forum 7 f01 of n63 v8 petrol - then you believe about problems with the car.
@@VMAdventures88 I mean I cant imagine a better 'driver' experience than the W221, so is the W222 driver experience actually better than W221. The W221 also has a naturally aspirate 5.5 V8 instead of 4.7 twin turbo

Ideálne video k večeri. Vonku sneží a S500vka v snehu vo videu. Super!
W221 je prostě láska! Po FL je to ještě víc super :) jinak test je teda fakt hroznej, strašně málo s tím bokuješ. Bokuj víc! :D
🤣🤣🤣
Boy, no one can deny that they're beautiful machines while they still work...
My '98 W140 6L (S320) Still runs almost like new. 280km - maintenance is key. The 221, unlike the 220 should do the same but time will tell.

I just hoped you will do some drifts on that snowy road
I have an E500 with the same engine. It’s such a blast!
My favorite car
Great video!
Great car aswell , a shame they have to replace it with a 6 cylinder.
So true! 😩
Very nice!!! What tyres do you have in mersedes???
From your experience what would you choose all around? W221 a350, 730d or a8 d4? 💪🏻
Myslím, že "atmospherical V8" není dobře, používá se termín "naturally aspirated" pro motory bez turba ;-)
Je to pravda! Atmospheric, když už tak. Děkuju!
English please
The new w223 side mirrors are the same design with the early w221 models.
Yes they went back those squared mirrors in the facelift w221s are ugly
no one asked if winter tires used, most possibly been.
Задний привод? Зимой 7 сек до ста, летом как едет?
Man did a whole warmup routine to get the car started 😭
The S-Class is like a new wife; she lets you feel her up before you go to work, except the car doesn't stop letting you or get fat.
@@GranMastaDee Haha yup! There are 3 certains in life- death, taxes, and my S550 showing me unconditional love everyday
How many miles does it have ?
115.000
In the videos it doesnt look great, but in real life this car (W221 2006-2009 S500) feels better than its succesors
No, it doesn't. I've driven the W221 S500 and I own a W222 S550 and they are miles apart.

Když se to srovná s tou A6 BiTdi, je to opravdu propastný rozdíl? Co se komfortu a ticha týče? Jinak pecka takhle večer ke kávě ;-)

Je to velkej rozdíl.
