We Love you....but

[rhud]

Ever thought about some (often small) thing that car manufacturers - even MB - don't think about at the planning stage, which subsequently is going to prove an irritant to the buyer?

Not intended to be a carping thread - but what annoys you about your MB?

To start the ball rolling - A Class 150 Classic SE -....

Fixed wing mirrors that don't even manually fold in.

I find the foot-operated parking brake an irritating feature.

The fact that there is no way of deimmobilising my w124 coupe from the inside, meaning once it is immobilised you have to get out, lock and then unlock the car to deimmobilise it. A particular pain when its raining!

I find the foot-operated parking brake an irritating feature.

Ditto, so I never use it.

No lights on indicator on dash.

S and C switch on wrong side of gear lever

Not retailing the SL500 for £20K ;D

Having the rear wiper switch (on estate models) on the passenger side of the dash. Its a fair stretch to reach on E-class models. (Cheap conversion from LHD to RHD).

Yep, I aggree

Ditto, so I never use it.

Neither do I except on hill's, as I didnt want the weight of the car on the engine (eg parking brake) alone.

It's a stretch on a C-Class too. I had contemplated removing the dash panel and seeing if I could swap that and the alarm buttons over...

the way that when you turn the engine off when still wanting to stay in the car then drive off later you have to turn the keyds all the way off then on again and they get stuck on the final twist

the way the key hole is on the left

the fact i get 18 mpg ish

the fact the car (and every w124 coupe ive had) slightly drifts to the left

then again the plus things are many many more

 

[JEZ.S320L]

The sun-roof doesn't auto-open (single press) on my S-Class It DOES on my ML

Life can be REALLY tough, can't it? :wink:

p.s. All this talk about a Credit Crunch - is that some new kind of chocy bar??

You need to be very careful - I'm picking up the car from Copthorne, just up the road from Brighton!

[The German Flower Pot]

[100%Bitch]

No, you daren't.

I was told by another dealer to snap their hand off though and I would be stupid to refuse the offer.

 

[jibcl500]
