From the perspective of safe, reliable transportation, the Mercedes S Class is the best of the best. With five star crash ratings in every category, this car is beefy and strong; if you have to be in The Big One, this is the car to be in, particularly with the myriad of lane-weaving SUVs driven by folks more focused on their phone call than not running into you. The handling is good enough you forget it is nearly three tons surrounding you. The trunk is big enough for the Sopranos to use for burying several families worth of trouble; we have had half a football team and gear in the car without looking like clowns at a circus. The seats are large leather chairs that fit even someone two meters tall, as I am, comfortably. Hard to believe, but mine is coming up on 400,000 miles, or over 15 times circumnavigating the world, and the engine has never been apart, although I am on the second transmission. Like a football player in a tuxedo, these cars look sharp and serious at the same time. And these cars don't suffer from the electronic bugs that the next generation S class has been wounded by. Last, but not least, is that with 343 horse engine, this is a Q ship, a hot rod that melts into traffic and never gets a second look, but can cruise all day long without straining, and with every seat taken inside; at 80MPH, the car feels alive and awake, like it could do this forever.

I fancied an Aston Martin DB7 whilst on my search for the right spec car for my needs but cannot complain or question my choice of an S-Class 500L as it is a whole lot of car. A good car especially when you consider that from new it cost a little over £89,000 but I paid a little under £17,000. It feels so good to drive and discs and pads cost no more than the same for a Ford or Vauxhall.
