2002 CLK 55 AMG Coupe ;)
I would not buy another car without nav.
Did not want it initially; but the new 2002 had everything I wanted except for the nav & heated seats.
Now, after almost one year and 15,000 miles, I must say that nav is the most cost-effective option for the money. It is very user-friendly and gets you within 15 yards of your destination.
Did you ever try to explore a new unfamiliar area? Just punch in where you are, browse as you like, and when you are really lost -- punch in your ref point and you'll be guided back where you came from - effortlessly.
You have a choice of seven different languages to get you home!
Additionally from the design point of view, it competes the instrument cluster,- just looks great.
Today, if I look at a car without nav, it's dated. That just shows, how fast this GPS feature became part of me, just like the computers all around me!

Nav Q
Someone explain to me please...the new E's...they come pre-wired for the Nav...what about the actual screen? I mean are the dealers simply popping a box in the trunk in January or whenever or is this "retrofit" more of a surgical procedure than that?

the screen will be in the front...and the cassette player will be gone...ans that is how big the screen will be..also, they will add to side buttons on each side....so four extra, and out the "NAV" sticker on the button, or take out that button and out one in already with it on. And you buy the nav system from the dealer, and hopefully they will install everything for u for free..

One more important point re the NAV system:
When you pay for the NAV and it's listed on the bill of sale of the car, it is warranted for 4 yrs. 50,000 miles.
If the Nav is bought AFTER you take possesion of the car, it's only warranted for 1 year!!...just as other MB parts/components i.e. CD changer.
