I'm surprised that the ride is not as smooth as my W220 (both set to conform, and I tested several W221, all ride the same), probably have to do with the Continential tires & larger wheels.

But the car is nice !! Roomier & much better quality. Got 17.5 mpg with same driving pattern, compared with 20mpg for the W220, not so bad. Especially when my other two cars hog gas quite bad.

Not much mod in planning, the car is quite loaded, probably change interior to all LED and enable video-in-motion for the kids to watch DVD on the go.

Got a nice fleet there. I've gotten 29MPG on the highway. It's pretty good!
