CNET Review
The Good: The 2008 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG handles incredibly well for a big sedan and has oodles of power. Its GPS uses high-resolution maps, its stereo system sounds excellent, and it has over-the-top tech like night vision and massage seats.
The Bad: The gas mileage on the S63 AMG is pitiful, with our observed average being 13.2 mpg.
The Bottom Line: The 2008 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG defines luxury and performance, offering usable and high-quality cabin gadgets pushed down the road by a powerful, and thirsty, engine.
