Mercedes-Benz S-Class S280 4d Auto (4) (1994/L) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent value for money especially the more optional extras you get. But more to go wrong, but generally reliable.
Costs
Has been expense when things have gone wrong. I.e. Air-flow meter, water pump and belts. However, these things are as normal for its age, but get a good servicing garage and save being ripped off on labour charges.

Driving
Smooth agile ride, but does lack power in some situations.
Performance
50/ 50, needs more power, but good performance and great petrol consumption for its size and engine

Living with it
Reliability
It is reliable once normal ageing items are dealt with. Electrics sometimes has its own mind. Watch ignition switch especially!

Service
Mercedes only cater for corporate clients. No care, attention or respect for ordinary men with its rip-off prices. What a shame they could be a lot of business for Mercedes out there would be nice to go where the experts are.
