A little nit-picking

Although I do like the car very much and have absolutely no regrets with leasing it, there are some apparent MB lapses that have surprised me, especially when compared to other similar lux cars (BMW 325(8), Cadillac ATS.) For example:

No entry/exit handles above the door
No radio/media loudness indicator
Driver's seat doesn't automatically go into position when entering the car
On entering a locked car using just the door handle, can't open the
passenger door; must use the driver side door's door unlock button
Car doesn't automatically lock after exiting, have to use door handle or
fob
Burmeister system doesn't allow for proper use of the fader...can't get
sound to fill the cabin

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trolling nor am I looking for arguments, just posting some observations with the hope that I'm wrong and that maybe I missed something.

EDIT: This was meant to go on the W205 Coupe forum...Sorry
