Overview & Reviews

The S350 arrives as a new entry-level S-Class model, powered by a 241-hp V6. The S600 now includes Keyless Go, an electronic trunk closer, heated steering wheel and rear side window blinds as standard equipment, while the Hands Free Communication system has moved to the options list.

• 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 sedan in the class - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By Raymond Wong - May 26 - 2:06 am

  I owned almost every luxury sedans in the last 10 years. It is the best sedan so far. I traded a 2002 S-500 for S-600. The only negative thing is poor gas mileage because this is a 12 cylinder car.

  OK Car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

  Great engine and smooth ride by the overall chassis dynamics are very poor. The chassis and transmission can not keep pace with the engine.

  Super Car Great Fun Car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By Car Guy sf - September 8 - 9:50 pm

  Having owned many, many Mercedes and other performance cars, I find my S65 to be the finest. Simply incredible peformance-the engine and exhaust are excellent. Admittedly I am a real fan of Mercedes. I find them and particularly the S class to be an excellent all around value when scoring on the basis of safety, performance, comfort, resale value and maintenance costs-in this order. Maintenance issues have been extremely minor. Just done routine maintenance and very minor warranty work. I just wish I could drive it on our US highways at the speeds this car was intended to be driven. At first going from an S500 to S55 I was leery of moving upto the S65. Now no more!

  Maxima was better! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By T. Boyd - December 11 - 10:50 pm

  The car is not what I expected. It is very bad on gas. It is also not dependable. But it is very comfortable and I wish I had kept my 2004 Maxima. The cost was more than we had wished on paying. So if I had to do it again I would have to say I would not!

  Greatest Value in Luxury - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By finance1 - January 19 - 2:23 pm

  Lease on my E-class expired. This car is the deal of the year. Engine more than adquate for highway ramps and passing. Interior features are what you expect in a MB- nice stereo, easy to use navigation. Class styling and at a fraction of new (as this more than adequate engine doesnt seem to get respect in the resale market).

  Best Car Ive Ever Driven - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By Jim - October 18 - 6:16 am

  Wow! Ive driven high performance cars from a Mustang, Porsche, and even Ferrari. This 2006 S65 AMG is an absolute beast on the road. And a classy beast at that. The best way to describe it would be to say it is a rocket! Its super fast from 0-60, and even pulls hard above that! Pure power, smooth acceleration, superb handling and great comfort! If you can find a way to get your hands on one of these babies, its worth every penny (or dollar in this case) I cant wait to drive tomorrow. Sweet!

  S350 is a bargain - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By LanceL99 - February 15 - 6:50 pm

  I intended to purchase a new E350, but wound up with the S350. Its not as quick, but I preferred the 5-spd auto. My old E320 was a great car - this should be as well. $53,500 including Keyless Go & Trunk closer. What a deal!! Ride is awesome, bank vault quiet, frigid AC, huge cabin, all of the good features. Overall it is an exceptional buy!

  First MB - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By TomB - May 29 - 10:00 am

  The S55 AMG was the only MB car I would buy, it has everything I want, but there are some annoyances such as: 1)cooled seats are a joke 2)no touch screen NAV, current unit is out of date 3)dash gauges are boring/outdated 4)key fob remote is IR(short distance) and not radio waves, so I have to go to the drivers door in order to unlock it, then go to trunk to put items in. 5)need to find an independent mechanic, otherwise you will have a miserable time at OEM dealerships, and pay 2-3x more per repair. 6)no back up sensors as standard equip!!, This car is over engineered and exp.
