I love the tunnel mode, once, I had the moonroof opened, and I pressed the button and my passenger exclaimed that the moonroof closed all by itself.
He thought the car was possessed, I let him think that for a few miles but I finally gave in.

Are you holding the button?
Try holding the button a little longer. Since you have an 05, we should have the exact same climate control system.
Try holding the air recirculation button when one window is opened and the air recirculation is off. Sometimes it doesn't engage if you press it very abruptly.

2005 C200 Sport Edition Sedan
On my C - I love the AMG body styling the most.
Then it would be the Sports steering wheel with gear shift buttons behind it
and the fact that on the Sport edition here is Australia you get 6 spoke mags that are wider and more indented on the rear... looks awsome in motion - 3d look

Yup. It's pretty funny.
I never have my windows opened (I don't like the draft), but next time when I have four people in my car on the coming summer, I'll roll down the windows (assuming that the car is clean and that I don't get gunk into the door when I roll them down) to ventilate the car and then close it. When people ask me how I did that, I'll simply say, "do what" and press the button to return the car's windows to the original position.
That's going to be loads of fun.

everything mentioned above. great technology
but above all the looks, the SS just looks right. not too extravagant and not too plain. i get lots of compliments on how 'sporty' the car looks, and people always assume the rims and brakes are aftermarket, i tell them 'nah man, stock' on a side note, i love the standard 17" rims on the C-class S.S. BUT i wish they were bigger! like a 19"? that would be awesome! any replicas out there?

If I wanted to ride on a cloud though, I would drive my girlfriends Volvo. Those seats are amazing.

My favorite little thing is the sunglass holder in the glovebox. Panorama roof also, though the constant squeaking and shade breakdowns in mine are annoying.

Passive Tire Monitor/Sensor is the best invention ever! I was on my way to work today and 1 minute away, the sensor comes on saying to check my tire pressure. I pull into the gas station across from work and check the tires. Sure enough, I'm low 10 psi in the rear right. I fill up the tire and re-set the sensor.
Bad news is, I got my first curb rash! (Have absolutely NO clue how it happened.)

Dia Blk '06 C230 w/3 pedals
Yesterday I played with the tunnel mode all afternoon. The g/f was impressed for about .0001 seconds and then asked, "You've been doing that all evening haven't you?"
me: "YEP!!!!!"
She rolled her eyes.
----------------
I like the all-in-one "key" (no silly FOB to eff with)

I also like the turn signal feature where you just have to bump it to change lanes.
