Nice car. But 2 things. A. the blind spot on this car is not bad at all, you have to adjust your mirror inward, theres no reason for it to be facing the road in such an extreme angle that you can't see the cars next to you. B. The MB tex is near identical to the leather, I've sat in a $120k CLS 63 and it literally looks the same, there's zero reason to get the full leather package unless you have money to blow or you want the flamingo red interior.
Hey blackmercs, anything that can be done to help the seatbelt situation, I'm in. Hijack away!

I had a price limit from my husband so had to pick and choose my options. I too thought the tex would be fine enough for me to have 18" wheels. I do like the 18" wheels so I really don't know which one I'd pick over the other now, but I think over 5 years of payments, leather and blind assist wouldn't have been that much. Anyway, a budget's a budget. I love the car and I'm not complaining (much). Just would have been nice to have it all
He wishes he hadn't spent the extra money as he really like the TEX in my car

Again, like others said, the seat belt is a pain because it doesn't catch so you have to reach way behind you to get ahold of it. I'm 5'2" so I've got the seat pretty far forward.
Oh, one more. I've never had a car that didn't have real leather. Salesman acted like no big deal. BIG DEAL! It looks cheap. Really wish I'd gotten the leather. Spend the difference!

The issue is being so close to the deploying air bag that your head is in the path while it is inflating, instead of it being fully inflated before your head hits it. People too close to an inflating air bag can suffer significant injury when the bag catches you under the chin and starts to lift your head/skull off your spine.
Also, think of MBTex as new and improved leather...it lasts longer, is easier to clean, more crack-resistant, etc. I've rejected leather to get MBTex in a C and E Class.

I didn't realize it either. When a friend was looking at my car and pointed it out, it was almost embarrasing that it isn't power. My Infiniti was, so I just expected the Mercedes to be. Silly me, it only cost $50,000. To me, that is the side people get in the back from so that is the seat that should go forward (electrically) when flipped forward. Does that seat go foward when flipped if you have leather?

You have a beautiful car, Mary.
Yes, the leather package includes the power flip for moving the passenger seat foward automatically for people entering the back of the cabin.
