Exactly what I need tbh. I commute 150 round trip five days a week so comfort plays a bug role. What was your overall impression of the car?

I believe AMG GTS is a better choice for your age... IMO
I know its the same thing my father said, but I reverse commute from the Bay to Valley everyday, 150 mile round trip and a GTS I feel wouldnt be the best commuter. Maybe in a year or two Id consider it as a weekend car. I tried commuting in my fathers GT3 for about a week definitely not about that life, I like to set the cruise control at 80 and just get to work in comfort with minimal effort and the same getting home. It's nice for change to take different car to the office every now and then but every day I feel like it would lose its charm and kind of be cumbersome.

Do you know of any issues they have had so far?

Basically took the first year hit. He really wants to move the car out of inventory he called me this morning asked if I had an offer. I'm still deciding whether to buy the car personally or lease it through my business.

Wouldnt expect a S550 to be that fast but wow
