Great brakes
Man, this car has great brakes. I mean, the stability and the safety you feel while braking at high speeds it is something very valuable. The brakes feel firm, steady. You simply do not have to touch them so hard as you would in other cars to get to what you need.
We all like lots of horsepower, and going fast and all that, but braking is so essential.
Note this is my first MB, so I don't really know if all or plenty of MBs feel like this way.
Also, as we all know, tires have an important role as well, mainly I would venture to say in the braking distances, and I have Michelins PSS.
What say you?

[QUOTE=bdunn;9089945]...Here’s a fun video someone send me earlier:
First half of the video is arguably an impressive demonstration of the car's automatic breaking system, but I note that the car was moving rather slowly throughout the various scenarios. I'd like to see a similar demonstration with the car moving at realistic speeds, say 45 MPH in the city and 70 MPH on the highway.
Also, skip the last half of the video — it's totally off topic, just 4 minutes of the car driving around.
