S350d Saloon 3.0 258 AMG Line 9G-Tronic Plus 4dr Saloon

Simply the best car I have ever bought

This car is so beautifully made, fabulous to drive and the most comfortable ride one could ask for. In my opinion it really deserves the label of "Best Car in The World". The economy is another great benefit which really does meet the mercedes claim of 52.3 mpg. Even on short journeys the car returns over 40 mpg. The interior of the car is matchless for build quality, classy design and materials. Electonically the car offers the driver an extremely safe driving experience with lots instinctive help and support. The 9G Tronic gearbox is as smooth as silk with imperceptive gear changes in all settings. The new straight 6 cylinder engine is so quiet and equally smooth. Voice activation throughout the car is seamless and enables the driver to keep complete concentration on driving as the system responds to every command. The only slight niggle I have with the car is the electronic, computerised engine oil gauge. It is not consistent with its readings of the oil level and although I have confidence in its operation I would prefer to have a standard dip stick. I looked for my car for many weeks before finding this Mercedes Benz Dealership demonstrator with only 500 miles on the clock. The discount was substantial and I feel I have a car which will serve me for a number of years to come. In my opinion this facelift S Class will keep the S Class ahead of the competition for some time ahead.
