I’ve been thinking about replacing the bus and keep contemplating and S-class as a replacement (or a Bentley or maybe a Panamera, mid life crisis must be calling I think).
The 221 is at a price point where it would be the last of the model with likely 4.7 V8 or maybe a slightly earlier facelift 600, but the 222 is also starting to creep in at not much more but would be an early model which I’ve always been weary of (though my S212 is a marketing car from when it was launched, so you can’t get more early model than that really).
I’ll likely go and try both just to see how they feel, but would appreciate others views on which might be a nicer long term runner and how much more comfortable are they than a 212?
