So far so good. Wish I could get the driver seat to move back when the driver door is opened. I have only driven it 60 miles but hope to drive it this weekend. As for the Aegean blue, I really like the color. It looks so much better in person than in pictures. I am surprised more people don't order that color. I got it with the sport package but got rid of the wheels. Currently have some Chromed SL600 rims on.

I will be interested in the driving report. I am greatly enjoying the 7 speed gearbox and have never had such a smooth ride with an automatic.
I have messed around with the electric options to program some things in that looked useful but I did not need to have the seat go back. I did program the steering wheel to go up and down on exit/entry. That is a good feature.

Drivers seat
The car has this feature, but if you sit pretty far back to begin with, it wiil not work. Try moving the seat to a position closer to the wheel, and you will see it works. Not much of a benefit for those of us who sit pretty far back to begin with
