2012 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz S-Class are quite pleased with its performance and comfort. They particularly appreciate its power, luxury features, and long-term reliability. However, some find it priced a bit high compared to other models with more features, and there are a few concerns about user-friendliness in comparison to newer models."
The S550 is the ultimate vehicle. Power & beauty at its best.
August 13, 2021Good vehicle that if taken care of should go over 500,000 miles!
June 29, 2021Decent Overall. Looks & Accelerates GREAT!! Impeccable Comfort. I Replaced The AMG Wheels With COR 20" Staggered Fitment With Michelin Pilots, It Drastically Improved The Ride & Handling. However, If You Are Looking For Value, The Series7 Alpina Is A Much Better Value And More Fun To Drive. The BMW Is A Driving Enthusiasts Dream Car If There Is A Need For Four Doors.

September 22, 2012Nice car. It is a little overpriced compared to similar model year with more features Highest priced one in Canada and pushing into 2014 model year pricing.
July 7, 2024Very good quality vehicle. The diesel version is a great option
April 21, 2023Bought a 2015 and like it less that the 2012. For example the 2015 doors don't close easily--You have to really push them open or closed. The 2015 glove box won't fully open fully because it is lower than the one on the 2015 so the cover hits your legs and you have to move the seat back to open the glove box! The storage spaces near the bottom of each door accessed with difficulty because the arm rest/door handle sticks out too far toward the middle of the car and your arm cant'r reach in to storage area. Overall the 2012 is more user frienly than the 2015! Gas mileage is great, 26 mph at 80 mph.
