1991 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 420 SEL review from North America
"The perfect full size sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a bit of a rough idle when cold.
General comments?
This is a dream car; the perfect car to eat up hundreds of miles effortlessly; set the cruise at 160 k and just cruise; quiet, soooo comfortable, classy and reliable; we recently left it unplugged at the airport and jetted to Jamaica; came back to a car left in the -40 weather for a week solid; 2 turns and it went; the best car I have ever owned.
