Yes, you’re right, better to listen to a random guy on the internet who has not even seen a Veyron in his life but who already knows it’s boring and unexciting, as opposed to, you know, every single other person who has ever driven or owned one. They don’t know what they’re talking about.

I think it depends, you can cheap out and get the shitty stuff, or you can go out and get stuff that will be incredibly durable.

I like your style

You’ll have to forgive me, as about 93854 other people per week on this website make vast, extreme claims about cars they’ve never even seen with their own two eyes and seemingly know through pure intuition that they’re horrible, or some such nonsense.

It’s probably a lot better than you think...there’s lots of people on here who talk about how bad Mercedes Benz vehicles are who haven’t even sat in one. The issue is vastly overblown. This car has a couple areas that can cost money, however with good maintenance your risk will be greatly reduced. And that’s a gamble

It literally does not suggest that at all. Anyone with a brain and who is on this site (as we have quite obviously seen) knows that these cars are not super cheap to operate. It’s quite clear.

The negative comments are coming from people who have demonstrated that they literally are so unintelligent they feel as if they are being forced to buy a car just by virtue of seeing an article about it on the internet. They don’t deserve to have their opinion listened to. They are free to spout all the stupid

Above about 60 or so, it accelerates much faster than an S55. That’s just a fact. Handling is really not going to be that much different between the two. Also, the 65 has a much nicer interior and comes with almost all options standard. Also has bigger brakes.

I don’t understand...you want a Miata? But you want it to be called an S-Class?

Not really. These things make far more power than advertised. They usually put out a good bit more at the wheels than they’re rated for at the crank.

This seems to be a common W220 issue, as far as I heard it’s a wiring thing. Bad placement of a sensor.

Not really, if it’s been taken care of.

If you don’t understand you never will. This is a hyper luxury sedan that will melt your face, stop on a dime, and corner like a smaller sports sedan, all while massaging your ass. It’s not for the average person.

Maybe time for something else? Why does anyone sell anything?

And you can get rotors for less than that.

Nope.

Nobody is forgetting it. It’s worth the extra operating costs. Not one person every in the history of ever suggested it has the same operating costs of a Fiesta. And why would it. If you want an econo shitbox, get one.

Why do you people even bother.

Uh, yeah, I would prefer the craft beer. Couldn’t pay me to drink any of the shit domestic big-box beers. I’ll gladly pay extra to have better.

Um, really? Have you driven both extensively? If not, please refrain from making such embarrassingly, laughably, stupidly insane comments.
