actually no, you dont have any pushing/lifting to do when you go into reverse. You just push to the left a bit hard and it goes into the Reverse gate, up and you're in reverse.. Kind of takes getting used to. Otherwise i love it!

Interior looks great! Very nice looking car!
I had my doubts about going into reverse when I test drove my car, but now, after having it for 2 months, and close to 3000 miles, its 2nd nature!

My gas sipping C-Class
I'm very interested in the pulley kit too. I'm kinda hating the lack of power.
I've done some research and can't really determine which route to go.
The real kicker is I spent $650.00 on a chip for my GTI and it netted a true 35 hp and 60 ft/lbs.......so it's hard to pay $1500.00 for 25 hp.
Anyone know how much power the stock motor can handle?
Nice car by the way. I was torn between silver and pewter. I obviously got pewter and love how classy it looks. Silver is always awesome, especially on a MB.

I seriously thought something was wrong with the car. It felt and sounded like a lawnmower. Shocking they put that lump in an MB.

. On that note - have you ever heard a Porsche 911 close by? It actually sounds pretty rough at take-off, too.
