I have been driving a S320 for the last three years. I bought it new. I have asked for maintenance every week, for one reason or another. The main joke has been the low pressure in rignt front wheel. It has lately been fully fixed. I was 5 miles on the road that I had a red alarm for low pressure, this time in front left tire. I carry some sort of repair insurance, which comes to an end in October next. I know that repairs by mercedes are rather expensive. So that I have some choices: go without the repair insurance Ihave enough trouble, should I pay) because that option looks very expensive, but in my case it paid for itsel, but it cannot be renewed. go and buy a new car. Everybody will laugh at that. Right? go to the BMW sales office. Any comment? robert hirschel

Crappy sterile road feel and total lack of character.

A good description of the S320. But RH was complaining of poor reliability and high repair cost. I don't recall him asking about road feel and character.
I am not sure of having been clear: I paid for a repair insurance, and I must say that I did not pay a cent when I asked for help from at least two agents. Of course, I did not pay either in my hometown. My hometown is Nancy, France. I asked for help The Lyon 'France) agent on a sunday morning (dead battery) and the Gstaad agent (Switzerland) (erratic tire low pressure alarm) both without even mentionning a charge. I must say that the outside air temp has never been working, that the right front seat has been blocked for a while. The "radar" whistles if a cat crosses the street a hundred yards away. And I miss probably a few more.
I would like to inform the Mercedes general manager, because I know that when the Mercedes people don't like a problem, they just forget to mention it in their book. yours

Figures that in a addition to being a troll you are a top poster.
I have never driven an S320, but doubt it is anywhere near as bland as a lexus.

Try Mercedes-Benz France HQ in the first instance.
Now I see why you wanted the HQ in Stuttgart, but I still think you should try MB France first, unless you have done that already.
