Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 500 4MATIC (2022)
The benchmark for being driven in: air suspension, rear-axle steering and a 3106 mm wheelbase. The inline-six is barely audible at any speed you can legally reach.

Rating anonymously. We set one first-party cookie so the same browser cannot rate the same car twice; it holds a random number and nothing else. Create an account if you would rather manage your ratings later - anything you rate now moves with it.
How your three scores become one number
The overall score is the weighted mean of your three scores (Performance / Utility / Reliability), shrunk towards the site-wide average using a Bayesian prior of 5 votes. That is why a car with two votes never outranks a car with two hundred, and why a single angry score cannot sink a popular model.
Current site-wide mean: 3.9/5 (7.7/10). Your rating is stored with the three integers you pick, an optional note, and a timestamp.
