The Mercedes-Benz S600 can be a great car for anyone, including women, who appreciate luxury, comfort, and performance. However, its large size and powerful V12 engine may feel intimidating for some drivers who prefer smaller or more fuel-efficient vehicles.

The 1998 Mercedes-Benz S600 with its 6.0L V12 engine has relatively low fuel efficiency, averaging around 12-15 mpg in the city and 17-20 mpg on the highway. This is typical for high-performance luxury sedans of this era.

As a large luxury sedan, the S600 can be challenging to park in tight spaces compared to smaller vehicles. However, it does offer good visibility and (in later models) parking sensors to assist with maneuvering.

While the S600 is built with high-quality materials, its complex V12 engine and luxury features can be expensive to maintain as the car ages. Proper maintenance is crucial for reliability, and repair costs are typically higher than average.

The 1998 S600 offers premium features like leather upholstery, power everything, advanced (for its time) safety systems, a smooth automatic transmission, and a powerful 6.0L V12 engine delivering about 389 horsepower.
