Hello and welcome

Mercedes might not be the best for you. Which is very difficult to say as a lover of the brand.

W212 E220cdi circa 2009-13 or W211 E220cdi circa 2007-09 for frugality and reliability

I would start looking at a C or E220CDI. That said I had two CLK's did over 115K miles in both with almost no problems.

I'd look at an e class for big sofa like seats. The c class mainly have recaro style seats . The 250 type should cruise just nicely.

Are you going to be affected by city low emissions zones ?

S-Class is a great car however it’s not ideal for your application. Poor reviews are as likely as not from owners who can afford to buy one that is many years old but don’t realise how complex the cars are and how expensive they can be to maintain.
