Hi, we are currently playing with the idea of getting a new car. At the moment we drive an E320 (W210) and are thinking about whether it may not be an S-Class. At Phaeton we would have landed by a hair a little longer time ago, but then as always everything was different and by now my wife tends clearly towards Mercedes, but actually not much is clear yet, so that we are still quite swimming, in between even If the children are out of the house, you don’t have this space, as it used to be. Anyway, you can see that we don’t have any idea as always, and plenty of it. I have already tried the S320 CDI and the S350 myself in the meantime, but they were both a bit lame to me. A V8 should be quite happy this time too, why only S430 and S500 are to be discussed, where the performance differences on the It would be nice if someone could say something about the practical values, how the 27 HP difference is noticeable, what the consumption looks like, or how it is ordered about the reliability. A new car is not to be discussed, always only used purchase with < 50,000 km. Or what does it look like for example with the new E-Class ? Are the defects with the electronics in the new cars already so far fixed that one can buy this car in good conscience ? Bye
