A great buySource: MSN Autos...Not very comfortable for a long distance drive. If you have to drive more then 45 mins, then get a pillow for your lower back. Granted, I am 6"3 but I have met folks who are shorter then 5"10, and who feel the same way. The seat belts don't retract correctly, so I have slammed the door on my buckle a number of times. Overall: I love this car, it's a great buy. I am going to drive this car until the tires fall off, and my next car is going to be a Honda. I am hooked on Hondas, and I can't see myself driving anything else. They are functional, and nice looking cars. I feel so confident in this... |

Why should I also consider these?
From executive sedan to rich man's plaything, the S-Class competes for the same attention spans as the BMW 7-Series.
We prefer the 7-Series' tamed, tailored lines by a slight margin; it also boggles the mind with even more rear-seat room than the S-Class, but as a result it's no longer the default choice for sharp handling.
The Lexus LS range comes in hybrid and gas versions, and it's a beautifully put-together, user-friendly piece-it's just short a meaningful badge and a round of suspension and steering tuning.
A new Audi A8 has just taken shape; we'll see soon if promises of better handling and fuel economy hold true.
Looking more avant-garde than ever, the latest Jaguar XJ will spawn hybrid power next year-along with a 500-horsepower XJR.
Lastly, there's the fabulous new Aston Martin Rapide and the bulkier-looking Porsche Panamera.
The Aston's flawless concept-car appearance doesn't quite get as much backup from its V-12 engine as expected, and the backseat's a token gesture.
Conversely, the Panamera's especially brilliant handling and epic Turbo thrust team up with lots of rear-seat room-which it could have skimped on to spare itself the lumpy roofline.
