be careful with this choice - 2011 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By not4one - June 25 - 5:27 pmVery powerful and well built, but the transmission shifting is truly awful on mine...some new "wet clutch" technology that just doesnt work well. Hesitates badly in confort mode as it rides its clutch, and in sport it hangs on to 1st gear too long and jerks thru 2nd for a nano second on its way to 3rd. The car is fine if youre pushing it hard, but it just isnt programmed for normal driving. Previously had an S550 sport and it is a much more enjoyable car, as is an S65 or S600...all these have conventional smooth shifting automatics.
