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.

  Got what I paid for - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By Bill B - September 17 - 12:20 pm

  I wanted a business car to let clients and potential key employees know that our business is "for real", and this car fits the bill perfectly. The Lexus LS 430 has more electronics for less money, but just doesnt make the same statement. The command system is easy to use - but this is my second MB, so maybe Im "trained" already. My wife has a new Lexus with navigation, and the 2006 Mercedes navigation is easier to use and much more intuitive - not at all what I expected, based on earlier year reviews. I thought Id like the Lexus touch screen better - but the MB buttons are just so easy... Ive had zero problems or defects, and Im extreemly picky about my cars.

  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!

  Exceeds expectations - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By Dave Roberts - August 29 - 9:16 am

  I have previously owned BMW ILs and decided to cross the street to Mercedes.The vehicle may not be as tight around the corners but it has a much better ride, the controls are easy to understand, and both the interior and exterior are flawless. I am looking forward to the winter months for a change with the AWD! It even has a compass!

  Classy S class - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By Mitch - February 17 - 6:46 pm

  This is my third S class and continue to love the S class Mercedes. I looked at all the competition and end up returning to the S class for the same reasons why I purchased the previous two cars. The style, quality, service, safety and resale values continue to retain my loyality. Once you have owned an S class you will understand why you will keep buying the most classy car on the road today.

  As good as always - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By dono - December 17 - 1:26 pm

  This is our third S class. We drove the S350, dont waste your time (under powered and too small)and why spend the extra $10K for the S500 as the 430 has good power and no luxury tax. These cars are limos with great handling and style.

  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!

  Great Car!! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By none - December 6 - 7:50 am

  Smooth Luxury Ride. Plenty of room. Not too many gadgets. The AWD is a big plus in our part of the world. Easy to use Navigation

  Great vehicle - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By NKP - July 12 - 10:30 pm

  Beautiful car, with a few minor items to be improved upon. When my car charger is in the lighter, there is no room to manipulate the gear box. The garage opener could be in a spot that doesnt require re-adjusting the mirror EVERY time you use it. COMAND feature too distracting-should be able to change radio/CD easier than having to start all over.

  best ever riden in - 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By robert500s - February 8 - 12:56 pm

  I have owned many luxury vehicles. I would never buy another American luxury car, especially Cadillac. The MB surpasses the Cadillac 1000% in comfort, stability, design, and value in the long run. Find a good MB mechanic vs. the dealer to do the maintenance because the dealers rip you off - like $300 for a oil change!
