Re: w220 - S Class feedback My boss drives a W220 and while the car is certainly better than a w140 the maintenance cost will be much more.
I would describe the airmatic suspension as unsuitable for our malaysian type roads. If money for maintenance is no issue, then that's a nice car to own. Cheers Tony

IMHO W220 S class is a comfortable highway cruiser. Plush leather seats, smooth gearshift as well as the maximum comfort ride thanks to the airmatic suspension (air suspension). However, there are a few things that you need to look into before commit yourself: 1. The airmatic suspension can be very costly to repair, my friend's mother spent quite a bomb merely to change the air suspension. 2. As mentioned by uncle c9, the catalytic converter can be a very costly affair as well as the air conditioner system. Good luck for your quest bro...

Re: w220 - S Class feedback Nice comfortable cruiser.
Some of the additional things that you should look for: o Walk away if the aircond isn't working well. Could be expensive affair. o Engine and transmission could last for ages if well taken care of, but electricals and electronics can go haywire. o Cat converter is very expensive to replace. Check b4 buying. Cheers!! ![]() C9 |

It is a very nice car. What i know is the the maintainance is on the high side for its suspension due to the absorber which is the common problem for this model.1pc of absorber rm2500. ![]() In terms of engine wise, im not sure but there's always one w220 whenever i go to adi.

w220 - S Class feedback w220 - S Class feedback
Hi, I am looking to get a w220 - S320 as my next purchase... Plan is to get a recond unit from Japan - either year 03 or 04... Did a search at this forum but could not find a lot of info on this model... Appreciate if the forum members could give their 2 cents on this especially on the reliability, what to look out during selection, maintenance etc... Thanks... |
