Lane departure amazing pulls you right back into lane
Engine Power - fantastic pull for this very heavy vehicle
Massage Feature - subtle but definitely makes a difference
Harmon Kardon - sounds great, good volume
Distronic Plus - will never get another car without it, great feature
Sport / Comfort mode - no sway issues at all when I tested sport, comfort is amazing in general (definite S Class caliber ride)
embrace apps....weak.
Sirius weather is pretty cool. Radar Maps
Just a fantastic vehicle - so much technology, so many features, fantastic power and pick up, exceptional gas mileage.
Looking forward to trying out the Active Park Assist.

Welcome aboard! Nice perspective. I agree I like the Sirius weather app. BTW, it still works without the expensive Mbrace option. Pull up the weather map, pick your destination, check the weather, forecast, etc. Nice.

Now I need to figure out racks and a cargo liner. For the cargo liner I'd like something that covers the leather armrests on each side. I can see my dog slobbering all over those things and cargo scratching them.

Good info...... I was wondering if when I cancel the extra mbrace stuff, I would lose the weather thing.

Just tried Active Park Assist. Worked great - stellar park job. Looks like that will be another feature I use frequently.
Bluetooth streaming worked perfect. I played Pandora from my Blackberry. Sounded good. Really easy.
Auburn Leather. I ordered this without seeing it in person and was a bit concerned that it would look more dark rust colored than brown. Most digital pictures make it look that way. However, it looks like a very nice shade of dark brown. I'm really pleased with it.

Thank you for the recommendation. Would love to hear how you like it once installed. I'm leary of how secure it will be relying on essentially taping it to the carpet. Hopefully, more products will come out soon specifically for this vehicle.

Congrats! Sounds like a really nice build.
Please post some pictures of the interior and exterior when you have a chance. I would love to see that unique combo.
Kind regards

the reason that the Auburn/Tobacco brown look bad in pictures is because people take the picture with flash, if you turn off flash you will get a good idea of what it looks like.
