This bugs me!!!!!!!!
The seat memory button that is. Why do I have to hold the seat memory button for the seat to return to a memory position?
This makes no sense to me at all.
What the heck is the memory button for if I have to hold it until it reaches its memorized position?
All my other cars I just have to push the button once and it goes back to the memorized position.
Just my daily rant!

Tim, if it makes you feel any better, In my current auto I need to press and hold the damn thing for 5+ seconds. No joke, I thought it was broken until I re-read the instructions. I have been in cars that have been too easy to get into someone else's memory by accidentally tapping the button, so I think the MB system isn't too bad. Maybe one day, they will make it speech activated!

I like the passive system, where the keys are coded. The system recognizes the key and adjusts automatically for each key.
Now when are they going to include the Center mounted Rear View Mirror into the memory package?

memory seats NOT !
Agreed - My wife's Lexus will not engage If the car is in the drive position and one button (Without holding it down forever) remembers the steering wheel, mirrors, seat and radio station. Now that's what I call memory
- You know what really pisses me off about my CLK 55 the dam seats once I lift up the seat release to hang my jacket up in the rear seat hook - the DAM thing never goes back to the correct position - I always have to perform the lift and drop (rickism) many times until it works - When this happens my wife always make the same comments - "How much did you pay for that car"

No longer car shopping...
The memory seats plain SUCK on these cars
The seats SHOULD work off the key system. My '97 BMW 740iL had these GOOD memory seats. When I hit the button on the remote, the door unlocked, the seats would move on their own into the proper position. My wifes key moved it to her position. Almost never more than a thought. But when you did need to move them yourself, one push was all it took and the seats, steering wheel, outside mirrors and TILT, yes, tilt even moved into the correct positions. If you hit the wronf button, you simply hit a different button to stop it. A no brainer even for those who find themselves being unexpectedly "crushed" (My wife is 5' tall as well).

The other thing I hate is the shoulder belt gets caught behind the set release handle and I have to fight with it to get it around the handle so I can buckle my seat belt. Of coarse it only happens when I'm in a rush!
The SL has a motorized arm that extends out and moves the belt closer so it's easier to reach! I wish I had that in my car.
