more observations about the 55
Three days and almost 500miles.
I don't like the location of the cruise control. It's right where the turn signal was on my s2000 and I keep hiting it. Is ther a way to disable CC
It took me two day's to figure out how to turn off the cold air coming out of the vent. AC only has an OFF/REST button I assume the air conditioning in on by default.
Had to turn off the silly seat function that pushes the seat all the way back when you turn the car off, I think its supposed to help you get in and out, but I didn't like having to lean way foward to start the car and get the seat to move back in position.
The rain sensing wipers dont work very well it seems like they wipe slower the harder the rain gets. (is there an inverse rain sensing button i'm missing?)
Speaking of rain, I've never had a car that felt so solid on wet roads, very in control feel.
Brakes way too grabby (yea I know it's not a word) but it's the only description I have. Every time I try to ease on the brakes at low speeds they seem to want to bring me to a quick stop. I hope that gets better as the brakes wear.
absolutely love it but wish they made a sport version without all the extra gizmos.

Post some pics dude!
maybe its your first time in purchasing a Mercedes Benz, all cruise controls are on the left, and the bottom under the steering there is the automatic adjustment of the steering wheel, forward, back wards , up and down,,,,
drive your car often and you will get use to it.
