What owners say
"Owners generally love the 2003 Mercedes-Benz S-Class for its incredible comfort, spacious interior, and powerful engine. They appreciate the smooth ride and impressive features that feel ahead of their time. However, some have expressed concerns over the airmatic suspension and the high cost of maintenance. Overall, it’s seen as a fantastic luxury car if well-maintained."
Has everything this model should have and the price is reasonable
March 15, 2025Comfort and dependability. I wish that I had the regular cruise control instead of the Distronic. Great color. Wish that I could find an S600 in this color and stone interior without the Distronic. Otherwise this is a great car. Decent fuel mileage and a fantastic ride.
October 19, 2014Love this car. Spacious, comfortable and powerful engine. Remarkably great mileage for a V-8. If cost is a concern, wrong make for you. Cup holders are not useful. Great for long drives. Top class & will turn heads ! You have arrived.

August 15, 2009Decent luxury car for the money. Has held up quite well. All creature features still operational. Exceptional if well maintained
July 11, 2022This car drives smoothly, but its very large. The Back seats are very spacious and there is plenty of room in the trunk.
November 27, 2007Amazing car for the year, great features way ahead of its time and very solid, lasting build quality.
October 16, 2021I bought this car from a friend of mine, and drove it home from Sacramento. It was hard to keep it under 80. If you even think of passing someone it already has done it for you. It s real fast and holds the road like its on rails. And its very cool.
October 14, 2008Makes you feel like you could run straight thru to the hotel in southern germany before you need to relax :)
January 6, 2008My husband owns this car and it is a beautifuly comfortable ride. But also has a twin turbo, 5.0 engine that will fly down the highway.
July 17, 2021First time you drive that car, be aware when you think you're speeding, you're already driving 200-220 KPH. Great car in every point!
