Few Questions and Impressions - self steering, internet radio, performance

My father has a 15 s550 purchased 6 months ago.

i had a chance to drive it a bit recently, and was wondering a few things.

Internet radio...is this something included with the car or something I am paying for. I went to that setting and it showed 2 apps, Mercedes radio and Tune IN. We tried tune in and it worked. We dont recall signing up for anything.

Sirius radio was just a 6 months free subscription right?

Self steering only works with distronic engaged? Is this correct.

Kinda annoying is that our car came with a alignment that drifts right slightly, and unfortunately we havent headed back to the dealership to get it fixed...im sure they will charge us now at this point for a new alignment

anyway...this car is damn fast....why does it feel faster than my e63

not sure about Internet radio, never used it

Sirius radio is 6 months, traffic is 3 years

Self steering only works with Distronic engaged, correct

I've had alignment corrected within the first 6 months at no charge on a previous MB, so I don't think they will charge you

0-60 is 4.8 seconds according to MB, and their estimates are notoriously conservative, so yes, it's fast! One of the reviews I read clocked it at 4.2 seconds...
