Overview & Reviews
For 2003, there is more power for the S55 and S600 models, both of which now put out nearly 500 horsepower. Also Pre-Safe, a system that detects an imminent impact and quickly adjusts seating positions as well as seatbelt tension to better safeguard the occupants, debuts. Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system becomes available on the S430 and S500 and a minor freshening inside and out are meant to keep these big Benzes near the top of luxury car buyer's shopping lists.
- World-class performance, state-of-the-art safety features, spacious and comfortable cabin.
- Complicated COMAND system, standard V8 models not as much fun to drive as BMW 7 Series.

Best so far... - 2003 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By carlover14 - January 21 - 2:00 amThis is my third S-Class, and it is the best one to date. The materials are much improved over the previous generation and now having been with the COMAND system for 3 years, it has become intuitive. The ride is incredible and all the electronics (albeit somewhat worrying me reliability wise) have been working flawlessly and easily. If MB keeps building them like this, a Mercedes is all Ill have until I die.
