I've been batting around the idea of getting the C1 power seat option on my Coupe (since I still have some time before the final order is submitted). I think it's a little on the expensive side, however I like the idea of the automatic tilt-down side mirror when parking (might be nice to keep the C7 17-inchers off of the curbs). I kind of feel that combining the C7 with the C1 (for a total of $2000) is about right for both, considering that the C7 package is worth more to me than $750.

What do you guys think - anyone else get the seats? Didn't wish you did? You C320 guys (MB-BOB) can pitch in as well since you got it standard.

I didn't order the C1 because I'm the only driver of this car. I dislike the manual adjustments...to the point where I really cant figure out why they put the seat back angle adjustment in such an inaccessable location. Considering I only adjust the seat (theoretically) once to my liking, I couldn't justify the expense just to get the cool tilting mirror - which I think should be standard on ALL Mercedes, if not required by law on all cars.

I concur with Rick.

its definitly handy if there are two drivers and the reverse mirror tilt is nice. otherwise, i didn't really want it. i'd rather get some other options like C2, bose sound upgrade, etc.

in other words:
i concur with lynn who concurs with rick.

i agree with everyone else, i would spend the money elsewhere.
i think the c2 package is best and probably the most popular.

my gsr did not have power seats, and everytime i put something in the back seat, or take a long trip, recline the seat, take it in to service, or clean the inside, i curse acura for not offering power seats.

yes it seems like a small thing, but do you really want to mess with stupid clumbsy levers and knobs to adjust the seat.

spend the extra change and get the power seats, they have a good resale value, and cant be added aftermarket (without MAJOR work)

If you have different size people driving, get it, it's a pain to keep changing the wheel and seat to be comfortable. Wish I had it. But do get the C7.
