A BIG DISAPOINTMENT

Replaced my '07 plate s320 with this S350.
Promised better economy - it's worse.
Air suspension not as smooth and crashes into potholes.
Wind noise and tyre roar much more pronounced.
Stop go is intermittent.
Lane assist rarely works
Rear headrests refuse to move.
Stalk controls difficult use
Steering wheel blocks speedo - good job it has heads up display.
Centre storage pathetic compared to old one.
For reasons I can't firgure out it's not as easy to drive
Gears reluctant to change above 5th - even at 70mph
Drops into limp mode after coasting downhill
Back to MB main dealer under warranty but they say no problem except update software.
