My first S Class
I just bought a 2003 S430 AWD. I sold my 2001 SL500. I needed a big car to travel on long drive. Bought a Pewter one. I know it is not new but the car is a gem. All I can say is ahhhhh.

Every time a "rookie" rides in ours there are always comments like"This is the smoothest and quietest car I've ever been in" or "Why is the car so quiet?"...you gotta love it.

That is so true. Every time some one new rides in the car, they can't stop talking about it, the whole way and back. It's even worse when the passanger is a car enthusiast because they are the one's who truly appreciate the car.

Every one is always like 'oh this car is so hot' and 'this car is so sexy' and the 'you have the best car around'... I always tell them that I did not buy the car to show it off or because it's flashy, I bought it because I love the car and all the engineering that went into it.
