What a great car! No excessive wind noise. In fact, I think it is the quietest car I have ever owned.

Really impressed with most everything. Fit and finish is great. Driving it is a dream--good handling, quite comfortable, good acceleration.

In a 450 mile drive at mostly 75 to 80 mph, averaged 34 mpg.

Biggest disappointments are:
Cannot use voice for telephone dialing (do not have Command)
Must use Digital Owner's Manual to get many instructions for setup

However, I have found a UK site that has a lot of the Digital Owner's Manual for many things but not all. Some UK specific things do not apply to USA cars and some USA specific things are not there.

Here is a dumb question. What is a Digital Operator's Manual?

It is a supplement to the paper operator's manual. It can be called up on the screen in the car. It is supposed to be tailored to the options on the particular car it is installed in. It cannot be used when the car is in motion. It has a lot of information on the details of operating the car systems but is a little slow in responding. I would have liked for it to be available to be called up on my laptop so that I could see instructions while trying to set up something on the car.

There are comprehensive online manuals for the car and COMAND, as well as IOS and Android apps for both.

An app in the App Store called MB Guides has a nice interface and seems to be well written. I have it on my iPad, and I use it in the car to learn how to use stuff...
