Completely hidden are the body squeaks that the GL will pick up after 30,000 miles of use. That and the excessive maintenance and repair costs after the warranty ends.

Maybe I'll start to keep this thread on track....
Some might not consider this a hidden feature but its a cool one....
The "HOLD" function. If you push down on the brake a second time, it holds the brakes and you can remove your foot from the pedal.

This works on the E-Class but does it work on the GL/GLS ....

The hold feature with double tap on the brake is my favorite feature on the car.
Hold door lock button on remote while close to car to close windows/sunroof. Open lock button opens them.
Also, lock button when walking away folds the side mirrors in so they don't get clipped
