2013 S350 BlueTEK or S550

Hi,

I need your help in deciding between the 2 cars - 2013 S350 BlueTEK or 2013 S550 (both 4Matic)? I have driven the S550 and love the engine, am yet to test drive the S350.

Any suggestions for one over the other.

Any concerns over Diamond White metallic color? Is it too difficult to maintain?

Thanks
Vivek

2012 S350 Bluetec 4Matic, Diamond White, P2
I have the 2012 S350 Bluetec. I love it. It is not as fast as the 550, but, it feels just as powerful. I am amazed at the fuel economy that this barge is able to attain. I love diesels. Definitely try before you buy. I don't think you will go wrong either way.

If I had a choice I'd choose s350. Great torque and gas mileage to boot! Cant go wrong with Diamond white, I see as a colour that you do need to upkeep more regularly. I wash once a week rain or shine. My neighbours think i am crazy!

Plus, you won't miss seeing the gas station as much with a S350.

Either choice .. You can't go wrong. Best to you.

Thanks for your responses. I have confirmed the S350 Diamond White and expect to pick it up in about a week or so.

If the 2014 was not released this past week, 2013 was no doubt the best car in the world. Well, 2014 is not available as of today so today it is still the best car in the world.

Cheers
