The seats are comfortable on the S Class, but the size of the car is an issue... Not easy to live with a car of that length.
I understand that but the car drives smaller than it is and surprised how well it handles with the AMG package. The V-6 is a great engine with good fuel economy to boot.

Yes, that's all good, but the physical dimensions bite you when you need to maneuver the car and park it. Also, others are more likely to hit it when parked because it takes so much space. The short wheel-base version would be a bit better, but it's not offered in the US.
I'm surprised you didn't like the E-Class seats, actually... I find them to be very comfortable and supportive even if they don't look like much, but I guess this can vary from person to person.
Even the upgraded seats in the E Class are about as comfortable as a hard wooden bench as are most German car seats. Sitting in them for any length of time is painful. My wife and I use additional cushions to lessen the discomfort. That said, I was aware of this shortcoming since buying my first Mercedes almost 60 years ago.

I cannot say the same about my W212. Very comfortable car. In fact all my cars are comfortable except my C Class. That car has awful seats.
