With its high quality cabin and incredible luxury, the Mercedes S-Class is the best limousine money can buy. Comfort and build quality are second-to-none, while the engines are smooth and powerful. There's plenty of space inside, and long wheelbase versions offer huge amounts of rear passenger legroom. The styling is subtle, yet tasteful. As an added bonus, the S-Class is built for comfort, but it can also hold its own on twisty B-roads too, as the steering is precise and there's lots of grip from the large tyres.
