Favorite Non-Performance Feature

Let me start by saying this is the most tech I've ever had in a car.....my wife always gets the newer toys.....plus, I'm somewhat of a troglodyte. Anyway, my first order was to read the manual about race launch and other performance aspects, throw manual in glovebox and go play. Well now I've taken the time to go back and read through the rest of the mannal. Oh, how I love the brake hold feature in Houston traffic. So what's your favorite non-performance feature?

P.S. Distronic is pretty cool also....well, except for the ugly grill badge.

I greatly enjoy the lane assist / mirror indicator and the cornering light (light that turns on when you turn the wheel at slower speeds). Pretty cool features.

The brake hold. Easily the most used function I use besides the stop and go pedals and the flappy paddles.

What I like!
What is this tech you speak of? My '08 has none of these

I guess my favorite non-performance feature is the signed badge on the engine - badges are always worth 10HP right?

Audio streaming that actually works. Never got it to work with my '09 and it was annoying. Oh, and I do like the backup camera and the passenger mirror angling down (I do a lot of parallel parking). And once it's clean, the Alcantera wheel, but only when it's nice and clean. Speaking of which, I best get to work.

But my absolute fav? The Lunar Metalic Blue (Calvansite for you non-US folks) paint with the Designo Sand leather interior and the red calipers and carbon spoiler. I just find myself staring at it pretty much daily.

The front seats. Very supportive while also being extremely comfortable.

Every time I get a loaner and get to use brake hold for a day, I'm slightly sad when I get my car back. But only slightly.

I have a 2010 so everything is pretty much base... but the seats and steering wheel are nice. I remember when the car was new everyone would go crazy over the flat bottom steering wheel, but now a lot of cars have them so the novelty wore out... but the seats are still awesome! I wish i had: bluetooth, back up camera, folding mirrors, & parktronic..

I actually love the navi screen and how it can fold away out of sight when you are in performance focus driving. I can make the cabin totally dark at night and focus on the road and whats ahead.

I really like the armrest and how it's perfectly designed to just have enough arm support and storage.

I really like the front facia, as each and every time I see a C63 coming at me, I am taken at how aggressive the car looks!

I have rear camera, start button, keyless go, full multimedia, sear warmers and 3 way adjustments, blue tooth as I got the car optioned fully with out p31. I love the car as is and really don't any other whistles or signals telling me there is a car next to me etc...

I only wish I had parking distance sensors

I always thought that was just a compartment with a slider top.

I thought they all had the cup holders. It's amazing that something as simple as a cup holder is optional depending on the market.

Front seats are amazing in the W204. Easily my favorite part about the C63 aside from the engine. Probably some of the nicest seats fitted to any sport sedan.
