Currently configuring the wife's next car and we're debating whether to get Intelligent Drive or not. Those who got it, do you regret it or are you happy with it? If you had to order your car again what would you do?

Most importantly, can you change the "default settings" to set which function you want/don't want when you turn the car on? We're worried it might be too intrusive when driving and too annoying to have to manually turn off/on certain functions.

Opinions? Comments?

In my model it is called drivers assistant package. Ill give you my 2 pennies. I like techie stuff so I don't regret. I like that the car watches the environment for me and can potentially save me from accidents etc when I am distracted or too slow to react. Of all the features, I don't like the lane keeping asst because it wants to correct many intentional moves when a solid line is crossed; constantly intervening in a carpool lane. depending of the model, you may or may not be able to turn off each and every one separately, but as far as I know the changes are retained when the car is turned off.

"Intelligent Drive a gimmick? "

is this a freaking joke ??
you going 65mph on freeway, the cars infront of you stand still at full stop, the car automatically brake for you. is this a gimmick ?

Intelligent Drive is great! It reduces fatigue in bumper to bumper traffic and can save your bacon if you're not paying attention.

Regular cruise control feels archaic now... haha

on my current 2013 c320, using cruise control is great when you fatigue, but i worry if i fall asleep, my car hits the car infront of me at 80mph. haha

Didn't you understand the thread or are you purposely trolling?

netboy

or are you just acting dumb ?

SV-

You just answered my question.

netboy

dont be stupid !
that is like asking should i get a car with traction control or should i get a car with anti-lock brake?

Not sure why you are corrected on intentional moves. Seems you don't use your indicators a lot.
I love the lane assist. I sometimes get intervention also but most of the times its my own fault.
I can accept the minimal flaws in the system over the great advantages it offers.
And you can always switch it off if you don't like it.

The last check you write is to the undertaker, and that one bounces!
