The S-Class offers its owners a masterful vehicle. Drivers will enjoy the smooth powertrain and taut handling. Passengers will appreciate the first-class legroom and sumptuous creature comforts. The question becomes: Is it better to drive, or to be driven?
This is a big car in all respects – particularly the rear seat and trunk areas. If you don’t regularly carry passengers in back (or don’t plan on spending much time there yourself), you’re carrying around a lot of surplus sheet metal in an S-Class sedan.
