The little things you like about your AMG W205

It's probably hasn't been long enough for some to appreciate yet. But since I see no threads on the subject, I'll start.


- I like how my A/C can be on at full blast, but as soon as I use the bluetooth calling, the fan speeds automatically set to low.

- I like how the final few inches of closing the pano roof how it slows to a soft slow pace. Real classy.

- I really appreciate having aptX as the bluetooth audio streaming codec.

Hmmmm, you said little things so I won't mention how much I LOVE that sound.

- The night time interior look with the LED ambient lighting. Blue is my favorite.

- Folding mirrors at lock.

- Wife says the car has a sexy ***. Not sure what that means.

My car is not here yet but when the salesman preformed a perfect parallel parking job with Parktronic I was impressed

I think being able to set up the individual mode. Then once programmed all you have to do every time you get in the car is flick the switch up into the individual mode to have fun. The W204 you needed to go and turn things on and off separately each time you wanted to have fun.

Also, using voice commands I think works better on the new model. It just seems to understand commands better than the W204 model. So I am using voice command more than ever.

I think I've discovered a new thing I like.

I hear what sounds like a bypass valve or diverter valve relieving pressure coming from the driver's side. It almost sounds like a bird noise, and it's kind of faint but I notice it as I go through gears sometimes.

I had an old woman honk her horn at me today (had to be in her 70s). She waves for me to roll down my window and goes "NICE CAR!".

I take it she heard my downshift to 2nd while I was in Race mode.

I love when I trying to back out of a parking space and there are people behind me who might be chatting or whatever. I put it in neutral and with my exhaust set to loud I give it a rev. The way they jump - priceless.

Yeah that's cool! I never expected that in a MB. My other cars get it regularly.

Here's a couple new ones.

-Shift lights in manual/race mode. Although I think the lights wait too long in the revs to populate.

-On some red line aggressive manual shifts, I got this "3 UP" popup in red letters on my dash. I'm still trying to figure out what that meant. Anyone?

Acceleration from 100 to 160-180 km/h.
You push the pedal only gently, but you see the other cars far behind you...

The Rev Limiter is about to kick in whenever you see "UP".

Right. But what the heck was "3 UP"?


Also I got another one for you guys, because obviously you're not driving your cars enough to notice. Lol

How about after a hard run. When you park your car the cooling fans are so loud that it sounds like an outside central AC unit.

Just a few days ago I was walking in the back door after driving home from work and my wife immediately looked at me with a puzzled look. She paused for a second and then said, "Did you forget to do something?" I just kinda shrugged at her. She continued, "I can hear your car still running in the garage." I still think she thinks the cooling fan explanation was just an excuse.

The power trunk opens when you put your foot under the bumper and it closes again when you put your foot under it again.

So for the people that know and when I am with them they race over to open the trunk and want to close it when I am done. Now I can't stand it when someone tries to close the trunk with there hands because it leaves fingerprints all over the trunk lid.

Hands free package on MB Website; $250

Electronic trunk closer
For added convenience in the rain or with an armful of packages, you can fully open the trunk via a switch on the driver’s interior door panel or a button on the SmartKey remote. Press a button on the underside of the trunk lid and it powers itself closed. A sensor automatically stops the lid if it detects an obstruction while closing, and the opening height can be easily set to a lower limit for low garages.

Mercedes Connect Me - very interesting system. You can access via your gsm or computer to some information of your car. You can see the location, position of the hand-brake, whether doors are open or closed, whether doors are locked or unlocked. You can remotely lock the doors. You can see info on the fuel amount, total miles,range,set up virtual geographical zone the car must stay etc.etc. There are many other apps available. Amazing system. Hope that this is well protected against hackers.

I see. Too late now though that's very convenient indeed.
