Whats the most impressive feature of your car to a Passenger.

I think mines probably the seatbelt extender.

and yours, and why.

The clunk of the door, then the smoothness of the engine.
The lack of noise has also been mentioned, though not when I have the stereo on. Apparently heavy rock doesn't suit the image.

I had a girl in my 1975 W114 280CE, for a short journey. I gave her a lift a couple of weeks later, in my 1990 W124 230TE, and after 5 minutes she said "Is this is a different car?"

The first thing most passengers notice is the bottle of sparkling water that they have just sat on, that I have forgotten to move........

On a cold winters day it has to be the heated seats combined with the deep pile carpet and leather that encompasses them, followed by the gut wrenching torque of the V8 as it rumbles off leaving their stomachs behind - all without the slightest bit of drama...

Most common is "Gosh it's big isn't it".

Least common is "Any body panels not gone rusty yet?"

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Souper coop

With my last car the seatbelt hander was a big hit, plus the luxurious feel of the inside. Then how big it feels (in the front).
Then when I drove off; the ease at which it accelerated.

The R129 has no extenders, but anyone whom has been in it says 'wow'.

The small village I live in has no other r129s (two new sl500s, and two Ferrari's, one a brand new 575). So when I collect my daughter from school, she is proud as punch. Even with the hardtop on it is still a head turner.

WOW..WOW.....WOW

When people get into my merc they ask how i can treat it so badly.
It is only a form of transport i tell them.
Why buy a car and not use it to its limits.
If it cant do a100mph,pull a large trailer,and be reliable it's no use to me.

The seat belt extender is a great source of fun, the passenger turns round to get their belt and gets hit in the face by some gizzmo, it always makes me laugh.

The head rest retractor is also a lot of fun.
