Superb

Breadcrumbs

The real big car for reasonable money at the high end of the market.

Comfort

Will make you wonder if your other car (an S-class) was worth so much more money.
Performance

Hot diesels and petrols make this great for a VIP on a budget who has an assassination threat.
Cool

Looks classy, but could have more design flourishes.
Quality

You'd wonder where all those extra cash went in your S-class.
Handling

Competent and able, but not a driver's car.
Practicality

The rear is a lounge rather than a seat, and has most features you'd want in a luxury car.
Running costs

A bit of a trade off. Won't burn a hole in your pocket, nor the car to get if you are living solely on plastic money.
