Mercedes has been disappointing me over and over again. Their car body designs are becoming difficult to look at, especially the electric range (the EQS is one ugly car). Their software is HORRENDOUSLY buggy. Their 2007 S-Class is a smoother ride than their 2022 model.
I love what Mercedes used to stand for, but right now they are pretty much selling cars on brand value, not because they're actually great cars.
The new S-class even feels like a step back from the previous model in terms of basic aesthetics. Plus, loaded up with cheap electronics, ready to break before your next service.
- rad_gruchalski 4y agoThose cheap electronics are the main selling point of the car. Flashy, blinky, lots of nvidia chips. That’s all there is to it. It happens to all brands slowly. Cars have no longer any excitement to offer so manufacturers load them up with this cheap crap.
- jesterson 4y agoComments like this actually turn me off buying MB again. I used to have a lot of MB cars back in 90s- 200xs - C-klasse, S-klasse, and then a number of V-klasse and every time it was a pleasure in every sense. Never had any unreasonable problem with them. Buggy software? It was unheard.
- izacus 4y agoThen again, this comment also calls EQS ugly (which it aint) so maybe take it with a grain of salt? :P
- osrec 4y agoI think you're the first person I know who likes the look of that car. Edit: For over 100k GBP, there are other significantly better options.
- jesterson 4y agoI do like it as well. It has MB character, whether you like it or not. What are those significantly better options?
- jesterson 4y agoGood point :) Those things are quite subjective, I am just trying to avoid fruitless discussions
