With its spacious character and V8, the S500 is better suited to long journeys, chauffeur-style duties or experienced buyers than first-time drivers or budget commuters. Against premium rivals such as the BMW 7 Series and Audi A8, it stands out for traditional Mercedes comfort; fuel and upkeep costs need budgeting.
