Comand
What do you guys think of COMAND and those whom have it are you glad you chose that option? Do you think it's worth it.
I'm sure this has been asked before...and I've done a search on the forums for info.
Being that this is my first MB, I would not want to skip out on a good option. I feel that I will not use the NAV portion too much. So my question really is what else does it offer and is it worth getting if I do not plan on using the NAV portion often.
My CLK will be 04, I'm going to call my salesman on the specs for the 04 NAV and COMAND. As of now, I have not added the COMAND option to my order.
Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks.

even if you do not use NAV a lot...the unit is definitely a lot better (looks and sound quality) then the standard US cassette system...get it!

$50,000 car without NAV and a hole in the center console is not the way to go. I bought both of my AMGs without NAV and I had to retrofit the Comand later in both cars. I don't use it often but when I do, it has been quite helpful and I would never buy another Benz without the NAV. The price may seem steep, at $2000 factory installed, but it integrates 100% with your car and it looks better than aftermarket NAV systems. I would recommended the phone/ voice activation package also. I have it in both of my cars and I use it on the daily basis. When buying a Benz, don't go cheap and skim on options because you will regret it later. The new CLK( W209) radio sits high in the center console, the W208 CLK is lower, and the "hole" will certainly make the car look cheap, IMHO.

2018 E63S,
I have had NAV in all my luxury cars. Its one of those items you think you will never use. However, it is great when you finally do use it. Think of all those times where you use Mapquest, or yahoo maps to get directions somewhere. Even honda accords now have navigation (a much better version than ours) available as an option. You want to skimp on it on a benz? The phone thing, i like, had it on my 740i, but hate Verizon, cingular, and AT&T.
