Reviewed a 1997 Mercedes-Benz S 320 SWB on Jul 29, 2012
Looks like a $75000 car it was, very comfortable. The cabin is quiet at any speed, great visibility. Very maintenance friendly, reliable. Gas mileage is moderate at 15 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Still plenty of parts available at decent prices. It moves pretty well for its six cylinder, good braking and road holding even in bad weather. Feels safe inside as in the safe.
