From a non-performance perspective (i.e. Chris Harris), you are my best reviewer. Informative yet incredibly entertaining, I was cracking up left and right with this one. Wish it was longer. Thanks for all the hard work!
Great Review Tom as always...I must admit...Ths current S really looks boss IMO among luxury flagships...This interior makes my friend's 2007 S550 look like something from the 1990s...Amazing how much nicer this interior looks.
hey Tom, you're an awesome car reviewer and a very likable person. the simple fact that you think YOU should make more money to afford this rather than finding some sarcastic remarks for the ones that already afford one speaks volumes...
Great review Tom, what a (modern) classic. Also interesting how many modern features we now take for granted, even on economy cars, were introduced on the S Class ... seatbelts, airbags, anti-lock brakes, cruise control, etc...
I'll have to get my wife to work harder and longer 'cause i'd love to have this in my garage... kidding aside - i agree this is the benchmark - not the 7-series. Have you considered doing a series on which car you would put in your garage (i.e.: SUV, Luxury SUV, mid-size, compact, Sports Car under $40K etc ... love your take on this)
Deliberately done that way. S Class is for people who've made it but don't want or feel the need to broadcast it to everyone likes a Rolls does. Some think ostentation is bad taste and muted refinement is classy. Not every billionaire is showy. Some are exceedingly private and for good reason. Much better to fly under the radar when there are people who want to kidnap you and your family for ransom.
I thought so too. The 2015 has a palm rest that allows for finger control, whereas the 2014 has a padded palm rest with phone control numbers beneath it.
I love this class I have three but in reality the thing most people don't get about the S class it's a safe and delightful car is even a 1966 it's a beautiful reliable and comfortable car and one of the few cars that the whole family enjoys writing in so I ask how much is that worth to you how much ?
As long as you don't have any kids I'm sure you could afford this car easily as a ophthalmologist and you'll love it. My dad actually bought a new one and it really has one the best interiors money can buy.
Nice Hyundai. Seriously. Not that I care, but this looks like every other car on the road, only bigger. Not that it matters - I won't be buying one soon. My house, my car, and my entire college education together cost less than this car.
Regardless to the badge this car looks ugly. Add to that being overpriced and high cost of maintenance. This thing is one irrelevant piece of gas guzzling environmental disaster.
I’m buying this car in 6 months I’m so excited! 2015 S550 with beige interior AMG exterior package with the rims! Best birthday gift to my self!
don't think I've ever seen Tom Voelk fall in love with a car so quickly, what a perfect car

Super job Tom, just an excellent review.

professionally done. bravo. you won a subscriber
The exterior does not look like a $129k car, however the interior does.
You're not the only one who thinks that way ! MB should have improved the exterior, but they opted to make only cosmetic changes for the 2015 model.
Mercedes designers said they wanted it that way because it gives it a sleeper, fly under the radar look.

Juan Rafael Castro what did they change from 2014 thru 2015
Hello Tom, always great reviews, thou you've been missing the E class, any plans on a review on that models, cheers
This is a 2014 S550.
The 2015 S550 has a touch sensitive Cockpit Management and Data (COMAND®) system
I thought so too. The 2015 has a palm rest that allows for finger control, whereas the 2014 has a padded palm rest with phone control numbers beneath it.
sold, if i win powerball, i get one of these, i currently drive a MB smart, and will drive the wheels off of it.
mr bad example my family and I is winning tonight! I'm gonna buy one for me and my husband
I thought you were going to tell us to test drive it. I would have reached through my screen and smacked you. Lol.
This is a great car how it feels to drive it I don't know because I'm always in the back.
Hi Tom, great review. What colour is this car? Is it the designo mocha black?
Ben Watt yes.
I love this class I have three but in reality the thing most people don't get about the S class it's a safe and delightful car is even a 1966 it's a beautiful reliable and comfortable car and one of the few cars that the whole family enjoys writing in so I ask how much is that worth to you how much ?
This car will probably by 65k in just 3-4 years. Once warranty runs out, repairs will be huge
And your point is, ?
+amill1563 I'm sure people who can afford this car aren't too worried about that.
i have a use 2014 with 90k miles on it. no issues so far knock on wood.. i do have after market warranty
Mine is 9 years old still going strong. No issues.
C350 or E350?
Just wow
this is the2014 not 2015 ( it has no touch pad )
2014 buttons 2015 touch pad?
@@TRELL5044 omg a reply on my comment after 5 years? I never lose hope again.
Блестящий!
all i have to say is DAAAAAAYYYYYYYUUUUUMMMMM ;)
Muito bom!
I'm in school to become an ophthalmologist, and in a couple years i will be able to afford one of these!!!!!!!!!
+Peyton Urich good luck
+Woodley st jean thanks I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not?

Waste of money. Unless you have a driver because the car is best experienced from the back. Get an E or S coupe instead.
He was fired after this review!!! To go make more money!

***** Wow that sucks for you.
I doubt the executive driving this car cares what a poor person like you thinks.
