Classy

Good car to drive because it is very safe on road. Driven cost is also very low ...I.e if you have electric one....it will be running cost efficient.....overall it is a good car to buy.

Horrible experience with s-580 Maybach

Zero rating in safety, last week, my S580 Maybach collided with a truck, but its airbag did not deploy, and the rear passenger got serious fractures and injuries. It's a big question mark on the reputation of the Mercedes-Benz company, how they are looting customers by assuring false safety measures.
