The rear headrests fold down to allow seat folding or improved rearward visibility. The seats themselves are comfortable, but not as comfortable as the LS8. The MB way you need to adjust two things to make a small change in seat cushion adjustment. Seems like a backward approach compared to the more common separate front/rear cushion height adjust. It's not something I'd likely ever adjust to it's something I'd end up having to tolerate.Īnd while we're on about stupid controls, what psychopath designed those seat controls? There's a knob on the INSIDE of the seatback to adjust recline, while you pump a lever to adjust cushion height and turn another lever for cushion pitch. There's nothing natural about using either control stalk. The signal stalk itself is WAY too low on the wheel at about 8 o'clock and I had to constantly reposition my hand to signal. It's on a stalk located above the signal stalk and I kept activating cruise when I wanted to signal right. The mirror shows too much c-pillar and not enough vertical glass.Įuropean cruise control is stupid. The rear-view mirror needs to be a little taller. At least the steering wheel never blocks the gauges even a little, not even at the lowest height with a 6'+ eyeline. Unfortunately, the steering wheel is laden with face-buttons to operate the thing. It'll even report the oil level but only if the car's not running. In the center of the that's-no-moon-it's-a-space-station-sized speedo is a medium-resolution amber LCD display which offers up quite a lot of useful info-and a lot of useless crap.
A small tach and overlarge fuel gauge flank the MONSTROUS speedometer which, despite having a radius that's about half as big as one of Mars' moons, only has 5mph demarcations. The instrument cluster is terrible-awful-bad. But then again, perhaps not: there's actually a 30% vehicle safety discount on insurance for the car being a Mercedes-Benz, so that's not terribly surprising, and MB along with Chrysler is notorious for electronic nannies that are determined to get in the way. An odd mix with the ABS, which seems WAY overaggressive.though that may be partially the tires' fault. I was able to break the back end loose with a little tossery even with ESP enabled and encountered no drama. There's a "Wet/Standard" mode switch which toggles 1st- and 2nd-gear starts-necessary because manumatic mode sucks and starts off in first regardless of the gear you've "selected." Gearing seems excellent, with a fair amount of torque available at 75 without having to drop from 5th.

Shifts are slow and smooth, and dropping the hammer brings about shifts a couple months later, making spirited driving in the twisties unrewarding unless you use manual mode.
Amazingly, astoundingly, frustratingly stupid.

There's no separate manual-mode gate, just tilt in "D", which means there's no way to get back to full auto without dropping into neutral and back. You slap the shifter left for downshifts and right for upshifts. The transmission still does whatever it wants. The manumatic design is worse than terrible. The 5-speed automatic is smooth but in absolutely no hurry. The supercharger's whine is pleasant and not invasive. Torque off the line is reasonable but it comes into its own above 2000rpm where it's not fast but certainly not slow. The 2.3 is quite coarse and there's a lot of engine noise (not exhaust noise). It also has split-glass (really plastic down low) which is neat but not particularly helpful due to the heavy color distortion present in the curved lower plastic. The rear seats fold level with the rearward-angled cargo floor. I would fit in the back seat if I didn't have a head.īoot space is pretty impressive behind the seats even with the tonneau in place.

It has power windows and manual everything else. I've had the chance to do some driving in my sisters new-used C class and figured the next logical step was a review post.Ģ.3 liter supercharged 4-cylinder.
