Mercedes-Benz S-Class S320 CDI 4d Auto (02) (2002/02) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought second hand to avoid worst depreciation, but great prestige car for the money.
Costs
Much better than expected - long service interval with reasonable driving habits - just covered 24000 between services. Good choice of reasonably priced and capable independents in Worcester/Gloucester.

On the road
Driving
Airmatic suspension offers good choice. Feels sporty on firmest setting when you dare to push hard. Superb motorway cruising on softer setting - need cruise or limiter set to stay legal.
Performance
Great for a big car and a diesel - adapts well to type of drive.
-
Living with it
Reliability
great so far, and no timing belts to worry about

Comfort
Great except front seat a bit firm. Were a bit lumpy when bought and had front cushion changed under warranty. Position of front seat fully adjustable and back seats are fantastic - should come with a chauffeur.
