Your absolute favorite thing

If you had to choose your one favorite thing about you E, what would it be? There are a lot of things to love but I think for me it would be the ride. It strikes a perfect balance between sporty and comfortable. Although I have to say the adaptive lighting package is a close second.

I like the overall look and stance of mine... took some tweaking to get it the way I like, but it's definitely a car I can see myself keeping until the doors fall off. And they probably won't fall off, since it's built so tight lol

I don't know if I could narrow it down to one thing but one of my fave things is the Queef - Whistle the airmatic makes upon getting out of the car. It's like the car is a hovercraft or something. When people hear it for the first time they always stop and ask what was that. I love it.

Likes of my W212:

-Design is beautiful. Especially with the Sport Appearance Package.
-Ride is very good. Not as good as the Luxury models but way softer then a BMW.
-The comfort and space for the driver and the passengers
-While far from most advanced MB made I find everything is so easy and upfront to use.
-Getting in and out is so much easier then on the C Class of the same year. (W204).

really? I'm not impressed at all with the bird eye view. It's unclear and
thus pretty useless imo...

What year is your car ? Because the resolution is crisp on mine. Many times i do not even look in my mirrors when parking. It is that good. When i drive a car with only a backup camera, it feels so obsolete. Can you elaborate on what is unclear, or maybe a snapshot of your system would help. Since you are in Europe, it might be different.

The sound of the "thunk" is great. It is so solid feeling and sounding.

One thing, there is not just one thing but if I need to choose it is the ride on long highway trips.


But then the next one is the NA 550 engine...in the awesome 2010 sports attire with the hockey sticks in the front...

I like the ride, the build and material quality, the lighting package, pano, the charm and mileage of the 4cyl diesel, the fairly traditional styling, the comfort, the unusual and nice color combo of my car.

I wish I had drivers assist, and that post-14 cars would have surround view, but when you don't build the car for yourself, you take what you get when you find a deal.

it's a 2014 built (arnd may/june)

attached some pics
Though this is a rather "straight forward situation" and the camera
shows a rather clear picture.

However in situations where I have to park between 2 cars
and/or when it's dark, I do not trust in the cameras alone..
