Oh, the CLS system is identical.

My grandfather was from Minsk: I have no choice in the matter.

I have a new C43 Coupe that I ordered in picked it up 6 weeks ago, Selenite Grey Performance Ergonomic and Night Package etc.
I still can't make my mind up if I am happy with the car.

The performance of the car is great and the sound is also good with the sports exhaust but for the money you have to pay to get one of these I expected the finish to be a hell of a lot better.

Unfortunately this car is not without its issues.

The road noise from the tyres is ridiculous, just a constant din no matter what type of road surface you are on, the rattles from the back seat that others have mentioned appears to be the rear parcel shelf and I have another vibration somewhere under the dash near the glove compartment.

Reversing out of my garage or a parking spot the graunching noises I get from the suspension and steering make it sound like a Sherman tank not a Mercedes. Some of the looks I get are priceless.

The HUD is not a sharp image its a bit blurry.

The ECO mode which I cannot stand or ever want to use is set to turn on by default every time the car is started and there is no way I can find to disable itso I am constantly turning it off.

I also got the jerking back and forward when using Sport+ at low speed (we call this a kangaroo here in Australia) until I learned to be a bit more gentle with the right foot.

I have brought these issues to the attention of Mercedes here in Australia and the have sent me a letter saying that the sales manager from the dealership will call me to discuss it. We will see what happened from there.

The rattle under the dash glove compartment, as stupid at this sounds, the only thing I had in the glove box was the folder with the books, removed this from the glove box and rattle appears to have stopped, the user manual appears to have been the culprit, will keep a listen out for a while and see if it returns

I thought i had an easy workaround for the ECO mode BS by using and Individual mode with the ECO turned off but the damn thing defaults back to comfort mode after being turned off overnight so back to square one.

Hud not sharp, i tried a small piece of window tint film on the windscreen to project the image onto and it appears much better

Now working on the rear rattle and suspension and tyre noises
