Overview & Reviews
An industry-first seven-speed automatic transmission is now standard. The navigation system is now DVD-based, and the Keyless Go system is now built into the SmartKey. Newly styled 18-inch wheels are optional.
- Elegantly appointed and spacious cabin, feels nimble for its size, state-of-the-art safety features, strong resale value.
- Complicated COMAND system, not as athletic as some of its competitors, a few low-grade interior materials.

Best Riding Car I have ever owned - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By brian h. - July 4 - 10:00 amJust recently purchased this vehicle and it has an incredible feel on the road with above average acceleration.I have previously owned an E-Class and this far exceeds it.There is little to dislike about the performance. The mileage is better than expected.

Wow! - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By Clotdoc - May 28 - 10:00 amWhat a car! Powerful, very responsive engine and great maneuverability. This is a very sporty four door sedan, for the family man who drives alone from time to time, who likes to take it to the limit!

MB quality is poor - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By David Hiers - May 23 - 10:00 amWithin an hour of bringing this brand new car home the passenger side xenon headlights burned out. The car has a vibration at 55 mph and above. The car has been back to the dealership for 5 days out of the 8 I have had it and they still cannot fix the vibration. They put brand new michelin tires on it yesterday and it still vibrates. They are calling in a MB technician next week to see what is wrong. It vibrates so bad that the passenger seat and headrest shake. The cupholders are really bad. The dealership has been very professional but have been unable to fix the problem. Wish I had purchased the LS430.

San Jose S600 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By San Jose Man - May 23 - 10:00 amFun to drive factor is a 10+. Unbelievable torque. Handling and braking are excellent for a sedan this big and heavy. Styling is understated. Comfort and inside room are excellent. Keyless go feature is excellent, however it has failed 4 times in the first year. Highway mileage is 18-19 mpg, city about 12mpg. Built in phone is OK with vocal commands useful. Get parktronic - its needed. Automatic trunk opener/closer is a favorite - used frequently. Auto Tire pressure reading is useful, but a pain to deal with. Ive driven MBZ E Series, Audi A8, Jaguar VandenPlas, Jaguar XJR, MBZ CL500. This car is by far the best sedan! Bought easily over an S55. Great car!

owner - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By emilio - March 15 - 2:00 amfrom the time i purchased this vehicle i experienced steering wheel vibration which was coming from the vehicle tires. on 8 different occasions the dealer has not been able to resolve this vibration problem. the tires are wearing abnormally on the sides and at 5k miles the dealer replaced the whole set of tires. till this day i am still encountering this same problem of constant vibrations and abnormal tire wear.

s500 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By Runandswim1 - March 15 - 2:00 amThe S500 has a lot but as compared to other luxury vehicles I have been in recently, the s500 seems to be primative. The front seat I find to be very uncomfortable and hard. When I have to go on long drives I choose a differnt vehicle. However, when arriving at a function the s500 still turns heads.

Just bought this in Silver (S430 4Matic) - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By johnmassaria - October 30 - 3:01 amI will be taking her home on Monday. The car has 29,000 miles on it and all I can say after all the crap my family has gone through for 7 years, this car is a blessing. My we enjoy it in good health and may the car always come though for us. So far it is crazy awesome. Previous cars I have owned new were: 1994 300ZX 2 seater with T-Tops, 2001 Audi A6Q 3.2 , 2006 Audi A6Q 3.2, 2009 BMW 328XI. This will be the first time I have bought a used vehicle in 18 years. So far so good, will follow up with real review as I drive it more.... :)

Best looking luxury sedan on the streets - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By Gannon - September 15 - 10:00 amLove the car. More money than competitors but love it. Power does not stop. Luxury options for days. Body style is the best on the road. Nothing beats black even though I got pewter.

if you got it spend it - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By dr. orlins - February 1 - 10:00 ami have owned 2 lexus and a jaruar but if you die without owning a mercedes youve missed something. there are faster cars, cheaper cars,and even more reliable cars. however, this S model does everything so nicely,with so much snob appeal that if you can afford it, i would tell you to go for it. remember, when you die your kids will go through your money like water through a goose. spend some on yourself while you can. the 500S, amg, and 600S are overkill,totally unnecessary but if having a car that will hold 200mph turns you on. they are available.
