2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S430 review from North America
"The best S-Class sedan that Mercedes-Benz have ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
This automobile is very luxurious and comfortable for 5 people to sit. The legroom on the Mercedes-Benz S430 is very roomy for passengers and the driver to stretch their legs for additional comfort. The navigation system is very convenient for the driver to find directions. Although the Mercedes-Benz S430 is a classy automobile, the spurring 4.3 liter V-8 engine delivers responsive acceleration for all circumstances. The safety is remarkable because the S430 offers brake assist and ABS for extra braking power to avoid an accident along with eight airbags.
