Ex AMG owner to S350 Bluetec

After owning 2 63s i couldnt resist the sweet lease deals of the 2013 S350s . Damn its slow !!!!!! MY son walked out the door and was looking for quad exhaust and started screaming LOOL.

Hopefully the power increases a bit with the break in of the motor .

The car Looks sweet though , Diamond white, AMG package with the 19s and a 1050 lease payment .

Any horror stories with this car from anyone ???

I have a 2012 S350 and have not had any issues at 13K miles. The performance is pretty much what it is. Fuel economy will improve with more miles, but, the engine only produces 241 hp. And while the 455 ft-lbs of torque is very nice, the low redline keeps the vehicle from being the a real screamer. Coming from an AMG, if your priority is speed, you will likely be disappointed.

Having owned two S63s , it makes sense any car unless it's S65 might feel slow lol
You can try Racechip , it boosts up power I have not read any negative comments on it .
