S500 LWB Vs SWB

Hi everyone,

Just wondering how many of the w221 owners opted for the Long wheel base and short wheel base versions? And what were your reasons.

I have the long wheel base. My reason was simply i liked the larger interior and in the Australian market it came with some extra equipment as standard.

Anyone driven both (SWB and LWB) and what are the differences in handling?

Handling the LWB not as easy

as the SWB on European streets and parking lots. I had no option to opt for the SWB on a S 600... So I have to survive with the LWB...

i have the same opinion like you , i choosed SWB because of the European streets and parking lots.
