2003 W203 Loaner Vehicle Experience

I got a C 240 2003 model. I noticed differences such as the ergonomic turn signals and cruise control, the little characters and the analog climatronic is different with pictures changed. there is no open and close fo the center and the top vents. The picture of the little kid on the disable rear windows is changed to a open and closed bullet. There is directions on how to close the cup holder on how to close it (facing the driver, there is a little illustration), there is also "open" written on the top of the button. The drive is the same (being that it is a C 240). That's all i noticed.

Just for anyone who wanted to know. The ergonomic controls are nice but i forgot how my own feel. just my .02 for you all!

Argh! Don't get me started on the vent controls.... I agree that the new ergo controls are nice, but the missing vent controls is an issue, especially the center control for fresh air. The diffuser control was apparently problematic for stupid people who didn't know that if they shut it, it would prevent the windshield condensation issue.

Some 2003 have the vent controls and some have on or the other.

I'm anticipating the delivery of a new C240 4M this week, so we'll see..... So until I get it, the Gump box of chocoalte quote is preety applicable here.
