S Class daily Driver?

Hello current owners, I'm currently waiting til Jan/Feb 2011 to purchase either a used 2010 E-550 or a 2008 S-class sport. I drove the E and it was a great car and seemed to have a practical/sporty fit however the S class seems to talk to me if you know what I mean, I sat in a few new ones in the dealership and it seemed to be a completely different car and much larger (no 3yr old kicking the back of my seat). I'm waiting to test drive a used 2008 S-Class sport however there don't seem to be too many here in the S.F. area that are reasonably priced. My question is do a lot of you use your S class as a daily driver?

Used ours as a DD for quite a bit. It's a great all around car. Even during heavy rain on performance tires, it handled the situation superbly. In general it handles every situation you throw at it pretty well.

Always used it as a daily driver as well. They are "grand cruisers" of sorts. The best car to travel great distances in maximum comfort.

Plus if you don't drive it much you are asking for reliability issues down the road.
