I drive my S65 really hard. I've taken it up to 186MPH all the while only using 3 fingers to drive. 618hp gives it an insane amount of power! I LOVE THAT CAR!!!!
It's an even stranger feeling when the system fails and need replacement and you're shelling out thousands to do so..lol. Air suspensions are a terrible thing in the long run for those who keep their cars longer than the warranty.
Easily the best suspension system I’ve ever been in. Extremely comfortable but when switched to sport mode it has remarkably low body roll for a massive vehicle and can tackle corners at incredibly high speeds. It’s expensive to fix, but man it rides INCREDIBLE. Also, you can buy aftermarket parts like arnott for 1/4 the price and they have a warranty. Sure it’s still $500 a corner, but I’ve never been in anything that rides better than my 2007 S550, and I’ve been in quite a lot of luxury vehicles.
@@ChrisZang You're right - the airmatic would roll like fucking crazy lol - definetly not airmatic - ABC here. My S600 has ABC and it corners better than my C63s :)
@@thatmatty231guy The Airmatic is just as capable as the hydraulic systems. When in Sport 2 my S500 will fly around on/off ramps at incredible speeds considering youre in a 4300lbs 20 foot long tank
Absurd performance for such a large car. I doubt any S-class ever gets driven this hard yet they give it all this power and handling ability. And there's still rich idiots who'll buy a Rolls over this!

This model let me down My W221 never has it's built better and looks better on the outside and despite what people think I like the interior better understated and classy.The W221 performs better in saloon tests and is just a tiny bit slower without turbos!!!!
I would buy this car in a heart beat, but it is unreliable and it can be extremely expensive to repair. I had a neighbor who had a 2007 S550, and he said it was not giving him any issues. So I have been hearing mixed reports about this car.

The slalom test alone is astounding. I've never seen anything like that-- not even in my 7-Series of the exact same year.
omg. there was NO body rolll in the slalom.
I suspect it had ABC not airmatic
Now we can buy these for 15 grand gagagagah

and have $40k worth of monthly repairs lmao
The spot will also air on national cable networks including VH1 and Comedy Central.
i have a 2008 s class

runs super great im gonna do the AMGG upgrade to it
Adjusting for inflation, the S550 has gone down in price but with more features.

Hail DarkSeid Im buying A 2007 s600 (my 1st Benzo) any suggestions...
Yeah that slalom was like full CG but it’s very real. John liked this car a lot. And these things will easily roll 250-300k+ miles no problem.
270k on the odometer or my W220 S500
@@zackmatulis4094 359k on my 2008 S550. Still drives like new, but that's be Mercedes of Memphis was the only one to touch it.
Well highest one I seen was a 2011 s550 was used as a chauffeur service in NY it had 650k miles
The W140 s class was built better, but this is by far a more advance machine :)
That slalom looks like the matrix
3:23 the car's airmatic system keeps it totally flat while cornering, but its a strange feeling when you're driving it,.

It’s actually not the air matic suspension, you need the ABC (active body control), aka hydraulic suspension package for it

Nice and pretty fast. Just reliability issues makes it a money pit
My W220 S500 has 270,000 miles and has never needed a major repair.
