I personally own a C320. Started a poll on this and it's interesting to see the results of owners. I'm going to do the same for each class and see exactly the demographics. Should be interesting.

OK AC Nielsen, you're going to put Car & Driver out of biz, eh

amazed to see so many young people driving s classes guess there are too many ppl like me out there i have a 2002 S500 which my dad bought for me as a birthday gift but when iam on the streets i hardly see any S classes and when i do its usually older people besides i only know my friend whoes dad bought him the 2001 s600 now thats crazy

Seeing as the stats are random then I doubt that.

This is nothing but of bunch of B.S. The average age of an S class driver being 30???? 15???? Why not 10 years old?

Edmunds had the stats on this. Its the in the mid fifties.

That's obsurd! I'd never have guessed that the age group 16-23 would have more S classes than other aged people...although it can't be considered true since you're more likely to see people in that age group going to sites like this and voting as opposed to someone else who's actually older. Me, I'm 22 years of age and own a 2000 S500. The only difference is that I bought it myself last year with my own money as opposed to others who are fortunate enough to just receive it as a gift to celebrate the day they did nothing but become born. Whoopty doo, you came out crying like a b*tch and, went through life eating and ****ting yourself until you reached the day of birth. Such an accomplishment is surely in need of a reward such as a new body S class. Hehe........i'm drunk.

WTF is a 20 year old doing with an S class which, by anyones standards is an old mans car? (I should know). When I bought mine a collegue (35) commented that it is the kind of car one drives to a funeral.

Certainly not the kind that would be attractive to a teenager or a young entrepreneur. For most of you I would recommend sticking to a souped up Honda Civic.

Nowadays... S-class became everyones favorite. The comfort, luxury and ...! Who cares for civic anymore, when driving S-class can pick up more girls.

Worthwhile women don't care what kind of car you drive.

Conversely if you need a fancy car to pick up girls you would, otherwise, be unable to date then you're beyond help. They aren't impressed by you in matters that are lasting or important.

For the OTHER 95% of women its a good investment.

i think most of the people driving them are typically in their 30s/40s

Younger people prefer bigger, safer cars, because do not have much driving experience, When they become older and more experienced, preferences will be changed to drive something like SLK55.

IluvS500

that is somewhat true! i prefer to drive bigger cars due to the fact that hopefully i will be a little safer than the person who hits me/i may hit. idk if i will ever want a smaller car though.

My father is 52 and drives a '03 S 320 CDI

I'm 30 and just bought my S430 in March....primarily because my previous vehicle, a 2000 BMW 530 was totalled in a car crash and I HATED the new styling of the '04 5 series.....

could it be that demographically speaking, the younger you are the more likely you are to be on an online forum?

DMI+RY

Yeah! CIVIC is the way to go!
BTW, if your collegue consider S-Class old mans car... Well, in general american taste is way below european.. but that's not the case with the folks on this forum

Hussain

I think sgb33f hit the nail on the head. It's because the younger crowd is more computer savvy that your statistics are like this. It would be much different if you asked a random sample.
