I'm speaking strictly from the point of view of someone who has never sat in and is never going to afford a car like this.
If y'all wanna see specs, performance and other stuff the model is Mercedes S 400d

First: this car has more buttons on its door than my car has in total. I would need a week to figure out what they all do. Most are touch sensitive so oupsie daisy I accidentally turned on cruise control. HOW DO I TURN IT OFF?!

The safety belt is gonna check if you're there. You turn on the engine and it gives you a quick hug "you there? Ok let's go"

You might as well sew the key in your jacket because you're not gonna physically use it. Ever. The only useful button on it is to open/close the trunk.

AC blasted me because it was hot outside. Took me a while to figure out how to turn it down, didn't know how to turn it back up. Drove with the windows down. Meh.

Connected my phone via Bluetooth and this bitch immediately went to Spotify like some sort of witchcraft. Said a prayer, just in case.

Discovered that the car has two mobile networks, one 4G,one 5G because why the duck not. Like, hold on, lemme connect to the car's wifi real quick (??????)

I started feeling suspicious that the otherwise bumpy road is not bumpy. The suspension movement made me woozy, frankly. It sucks for someone with motion sickness. I'd rather stick to my head shaking like maracas. Thanks.

Parking freaking sucks. Ignore the 360 cameras, sensors and parking assist. This car won't fit in any regular parking space because it's too damn long. You either have your hood and front wheels sticking out or the trunk and rear wheels. I looked like a complete asshole. I'm so sorry.

Also, besides being long AF, it's also wide AF so navigating through narrow city streets was an adrenalin filled adventure I do not want to repeat.

If anything comes close to the car in traffic the whole dash lights up, there are beeps going off everywhere and I was like "what? WHAT?!" I still have no clue what happened.

Tried to get it to park itself. Couldn't figure out how. Instead, I circled the supermarket parking lot 5 times hoping for magic. People got suspicious.

I drive speed limit, usually, but this is "blink" and you're going 90km/h in a 50km/h limit zone. Dude.

Drove out of a secondary road close to another car in front. Bitch autobraked kinda hard cause I got too close. Scared the bejeezus out of me.

Windshield liquid comes out of the windshield wipers. Elegant.

This car will massage your back while you drive. Hnnnnng. My car massages me as well, but my whole body. By shaking on bumpy roads.

Couldn't tell where the wheels were 90% of the time. Managed to avoid all potholes tho.

10/10 would drive again as an adventure but I don't actually see myself driving one of these every day. Because I'll never afford it. Ever.

Do more please this was a great read!

My boss has a custom gold one and it is horribly ugly. At least I can see her coming from miles away!

Luxury cars are penile measuring devices for the rich.

Whew, THAT post was a ride! (P.S. Windshield wiper fluid comes out of my 2004 Buick LeSabre's wipers, too...take THAT, Mercedes Benz!) +1

Plenty of blinker fluid on this one. I used the blinkers all day, they worked flawlessly.

I want a Suburban. Brand new, high end models can easily reach over $80k. Used, 8 years old, some miles later, $8k.

Hello it's been 4 years since your comment and these still cost +40k :))))

Used ones cost less but the thing is that once this is out of manufacturer warranty, fixing costs are ridiculous. My dad showed me an 1/2

2/2 invoice from a service on a similar luxury car. A freaking headlight costs 1k and only ONE bulb was fried. ONE. Noooo thanks.

Yup...That's why there's no 10 year old s class mercs driving around and if they are, they are for sale for 8k
