S600 Massage Seats

So I spend $130,000 thinking I am going to get this great chilled or heated massage only to find out the massage is pretty lame. It's a very suttle push every 10-12 seconds.

Anyone feel refreshed, rejuvinated, or relaxed from their massaging seats?

Other than that, and the cell phone delete option, the car is awesome.

Whatever there's gas in...
I thought the same thing when I bought the 55 but other then it shutting off after a cetain amount of time, it keeps you from tensing up after a long trip of staying in the same driving position.

I agree ...that massage is pretty lame...but i guess they call it pulse massage and that is what it is doing...sending pulses to your lower back....

Yeah, pretty lame. Drive Dynamic seats include all the guts to support the "Massage" feature for free.

Do your Massage Seats make clicking noise when you are in Pulse on your S600 or S55?

I had my seats fixed under warranty when both driver and passanger seats stopped working. You could hear the control module cycle but the pulse light would go off after 5 seconds. Now the seats work but there is a clicking noise that was not there before when ever the driver or passanger seat is turned on to pulse. The service manager says that is the normal sound. My Car is 2002 S600.

I dunno, I quite like it I use it on pretty much every journey, I like the subtleness.
