Your mission, should you choose to accept it: step into the driver’s seat of a 2000 Mercedes-Benz S-Class and try to convince yourself it’s not the greatest car ever built. The challenge comes courtesy of Car and Driver, known for its discerning eye and high standards.
This particular S-Class model, produced at the turn of the millennium, enjoys iconic status among automotive enthusiasts. Known for its blend of luxury, performance, and groundbreaking technology, the W220 generation, as it’s internally known, set a new standard for the segment. From its smooth ride and whisper-quiet cabin to its powerful engine options and advanced safety features, the 2000 S-Class was, and arguably still is, a formidable machine.
So, are you up for the challenge? The invitation is open. Try to find something–anything–that prevents this automotive icon from earning its place among the best.
