    W222 S Class is the best looking S Class so far. I have a 2015 and this is my 3rd S Class. The Best or Nothing.

      I recently went from a w220 to a w222 and it's night and day. The w220 rides a bit tighter than the w222
      This is due to the 222 being about 1800lb heavier

    we have a 2015 S350d lang (with all options) as a taxi here in Finland currently has 250k miles and still gets around 6k miles monthly. Such an amazing car to drive but yet reliable and fuel efficient thanks to the diesel engine. Driving 10-15 hours a day this is the car i want.

    You better read this: The W222 engine is worst engine ever built by Mercedes Benz MY2013 - MY 2016 or 2013 to 2020 S class V 8 “The exhaust valve assembly might not work properly etc. this means you need a new Cylinder head or both!
    The Water thermostat open at 217 Fahrenheit, Water Boil at 212 Fahrenheit you must remove the coolant to clean the coolant back flow.
    The temperature reading in the car display never goes aver 200 Fahrenheit I check the engine temperature was 217 to 225 Fahrenheit without any fan coming on (Back flow) the manual warning on page 295 if the coolant temperature is above 257 Fahrenheit do not drive.
    The rigged the software “wrote a CALL” like they did in the Mercedes Benz Diesel Engine.
    The exhaust valve problem trigger “Fuel system monitor not completed” 17 states in the USA DO NOT PASS inspection to drive the car “Done” and you cannot do anything about.
