But i cant afford to get LS cos its high engine cc, road tax, fc and small boot. not that i dont want to continue drive RX but backside itchy after a year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krieger 5th Gear April 25, 2013 Share April 25, 2013 Actually when buying the Sclass, the comfort of the air suspension is what won my dad over. But what he did was he always sell off the car when its time to change out major components. Same goes for my wife's gs (to change out water pump, front rotors etc). In my humble opinion, if one wishes to buy a second hand luxury car, always ask for at least S$ 8000 of discount to cover part of replacement/repair cost.

Krieger 5th Gear April 25, 2013 Share April 25, 2013 Hi Michael, to be fair, the LS handling can never match that of S. I drove both before and I can say S class handling and stability is a notch above LS. If i a Just very own piece of verdict, no offence. Cheers. Hi bro, I owned a S350 b4. Suspension is always a problem with tis car! B4 tis S350, my ride is the Lexus LS460. Comparing both, me n my wife love the Lexus more! In fact that was my 2nd LS. The first was the LS430. Amazing car too! Maybe u should go for a test drive b4 deciding wat to buy. Lexus's ride will not impress u at first but after driving for a while, u wil find it very very comfortable. Reliability is definitely better than most conti cars. If u need more details, u can alway call me. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proton_neutron 1st Gear April 26, 2013 Share April 26, 2013 By the way, the S350CGI BlueEfficiency from C&C sold out liao. Now they only have S300L. Facelift E-Class arriving June/July. W222 S Class arriving by end of year. Haha. That means there really aren't that many S350L BlueEfficiency CGI (306bhp version) on our roads given the limited period of time it went on sale. S-Class is way more comfier than the 7-Series. From the cushiness of the suspension, to the lack of road noise and suspension thud (you can hear the road/ tire noise and suspension thud in the 7Series). Of course, the engine in BMW is quieter when you're just driving around normally. In the S Class, it's engine makes itself noticed. Haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
