Such a great bit of feedback! So again, while the suspension costs are high when issues arise, the general consensus seems to be that owners value it enough. The search continues for the right spec. Agree with you on the light leather (my overall pref is very light seats and dark carpets). I can...

Thank you. Great to know ! I’m learning the models - do you have a S212? Any specific specification (ie is this an AMG line/sport)?

Good to know! I haven’t driven much younger than 10yrs old. I don’t think I’ll buy newer than 2015 or so based on how much i want to spend

Thank you. Still a bit tricky I guess with Covid. I’m almost afraid to drive one as I can barely fit it on the drive and keep thinking a hatch/estate/folding seats would be practical. I do like having the ability to get long things in the car now and then.

Hey thanks - agree with you on the tyre size and compliance as part of the mix. Only few cars seem to be renowned for amazing ride despite the low profile tyres - Alpina being one

Really rare! Only seen one E500 (W212 I believe the model is). That’s the dream spec as I do few miles these days and really fancy some V8 burble to compliment my flat 6 buzzsaw

Thanks! I had a 635D previously and it went to dms automotive in Southampton for the same. Was a monster afterwards 🤣

Hey thanks.. yep scanning like a hawk and have saved searches. The grey one seems ok. Just wished it had a light interior but then it’s going to be hard getting the combo right.

Tha Hi thank you.. I find so few for sale with that option. I guess everyone that has Airmatic loves to keep their cars!!

Thank you. Is there much difference in ride quality between your old S and others C etc? w212 ?

Really appreciate you sharing your experience. Would you say the difference for Airmatic and non is not large for comfort? It does sound like you prefer Airmatic given your car choice history. I’m trying to decide remotely whether to hang on given how rare it seems to find the E or CLS with the...

Hey thanks for sharing your feedback. Very rare to find a SB with full Airmatic. How would you rate it for comfort. I have not driven any MB cars, but ridden in many E class over the years in European taxis etc. I’m looking for an S class with a boot. Ie the best possible ride quality on...

Hey thanks!! Airmatic is standard on the rear of the E estate and the CLS SB. And an option (350D) to add to the front for a full setup. It seems very very few tick that box.

Dear all - I am brand new to this forum and will be new to MB, having always been a BMW and now Porsche fan. I bought a Mini Clubman as backup duties for my dream car - a 997.2 C2S. Despite the warnings on the firm ride (which I thought was OK).. The terrible broken roads around where I live...
