The 2008 Mercedes-Benz 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.
