You guys are killing me!!!!!
Man, Who started this thread......
I want to change my 03 C240 for a Prius or something and NOW I CAN'T DO IT!!!
I can't bear the idea of not having....
Convenience package
Electronic keys
Auto roll windows (the control unit is very unique)
Killer Trunk lid (it won't kill you but it will hurt you if you stick your face during opening
)Multifunctional cluster
The sound of the Engine
The sound of the Doors
The Manufacture warranty
.......
I guess i'll just buy extended warranty and keep the C for another while.

Ever notice that, in the rain, with the wipers on, if you open the driver's door the wipers stop. That way the wipers don't splash you.
With selective locking turned on, and auto locking turned on, .....unlock the drivers door, drive to the gas station. grab the door handle and just the drivers door unlocks.
Unlock all doors and drive away. When you open the drivers door, they all unlock.
Memory seats, that work the mirrors & steering wheel as well, and operate based on which key is used to open the door.
Puddle lamps....
Integrated phone....
Heated seats that warm up in about 2 minutes.....
Most of all, White gloves in the tool kit....

The one thing I wonder is, whenever you use the high pressure headlight washers, I've been told that it will impair the lighting ability of the car for a moment. So, I wonder if the car is smart enough to wash one light (left and right) at a time. That way I don't lose complete lighting power.
I've never pushed the button so far (haven't had the need to). But I'll have to try that out.

As of May 15th: 2006 C230 Black on Black
Here are some things I have noticed that I really like...some are specific to Merdeces, some not.
- Turning Radius
- 5 Spoke Rims
- 5 Spoke Rims (when the car is moving (as i see on others in traffic))
- No Florecent Lights on the Dash
- ipod Integration with Display
- Three Spoke Steering Wheel with thumb groves
- Steering Wheel Buttons (the up bottons are raised, down buttons sunken)
- Built-in Spoiler like Truck Lid
- Sound of the Doors Closing
- Weight of the Door
- An Upright Emblem. Class, should come back on other cars
- Headlight Shape
- More Trunk Space than I thought, fits my golf clubs and mountain bike
- AMG-looking Front
It is just smooth. My girlfriend loves it...and we all know what a bonus that is!

Oh well, those really don't count anyways.
Did you notice that Porsche doesn't have any Porsche logo in the back?
