2003 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S500 review from North America
"The S500 is a freeway luxurious king"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
Since I own a 2002 Mercedes-Benz S430 and the 2003 Mercedes-Benz S500, it is the best S-Class Mercedes I have ever driven. The Mercedes-Benz S500 is not only comfortable, luxurious, and convenient, but it is quick on the freeway because of the spurring 5.0 liter 302 horsepower V-8 engine. One of the thing that is unique on the Mercedes-Benz S500 is, it has the projected Bi-Xenon headlamps.
