MERCEDES-BENZ 450,

Overview

The S 450 is available as a sedan only It's powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine (362 horsepower, 369 pound-feet of torque) that sends power to the rear wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is available as an option.

Inside

The highest priority in the S450 is passenger comfort and the Benz is fairly easy to figure out thanks to a logical menu structure, quick response times and ergonomic controls. All doors are easy to open and offer a soft-close function. And the leather seats, while providing excellent support, are easy to slide over. The seat seems almost infinitely adjustable and the steering wheel tilts and telescopes to make drivers of varying heights very comfortable.

Driving

   The Mercedes Benz S450 is communicative, has powerful brakes and a nearly transparent drivetrain. The S 450 moves smartly away from a stop, and power smoothly builds all the way to redline. There's ample passing power, even at higher speeds. Brakes with this level of feel, control and power are usually found in sports cars. The pedal exactly communicates what the brakes are up to, even during a panic stop. The low-grip all-season tires hold back the outright braking performance, but 122 feet from 60 mph is still quite good for a big car. The S 450 can be steered with confidence at sedate or elevated speeds. The steering weight changes with the drive mode.
