Expert's Opinion

Good Things	Tech-laden cabin Towering performance Excellent handling	Ultimate luxury sedan. Lots of clever tech. Refinement.
Could be Better	Size of the car can be intimidating in tight spots Stiff ride in sport mode High octane fuel hard to come across	Low ground clearance. Expensive. Too big for urban driving.

Top Performance Car Reviews on CarWale

So until we can get back to driving high-performance cars – unleashing their cerebral horsepower on the tarmac and burning some unnecessary rubber at every given opportunity – let us have look back at some of the best performance cars we have already driven.

2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class First Drive Review

By Abhishek Nigam3 years ago

The art of making consistently brilliant cars is a difficult one and no one does it better than Mercedes-Benz, particularly with the S-Class which is incidentally also known as ‘the best car in the world’. With each new generation the S-Class brought in benchmark technology that placed it a step ahead of the competition every time. The car is question here isn’t a new generation car but a facelift of the W222 model. So you get minor updates on the outside, new features and technology and more importantly two new engines.
