#1 of 41 Pros & Cons Re: 2008 C Class by 1mbfan1 Sep 19, 2007 (6:47 am)
The new C is a beautiful car outside and in. But as one of MB's biggest fan I have to say there are a few hicups. First, the entry level C300 could use a bit more power. Second, what happened to options like 'keyless go, parktronic, and seat memory switched in the doors'? And third, more wood is needed in the dash (the control panel looks Japanese in design). I believe MB may have a supplier problem and rushing the C to the American market. I will not purchase my C until these options are offered (they are offered in Europe and Canada). Picky, picky, picky, but this is suppose to be a luxury car.

Replying to: 1mbfan1 (Sep 19, 2007 6:47 am) I couldn't agree more. Keyless go would of been nice and the seat memory is definitly necessary especially if you have multiple drivers. THey do however offer parktronic (called quick park) and is a dealer installed item. I'm having those put on in the next few days by the dealer.   I must say though.. .even without those items.. its a great car!

Replying to: falvor88 (Sep 19, 2007 2:27 pm) Quick park eh? That's what it's called also in Canada. Well thanks for the info...one down and two more to go (options). Now the C is 'near' luxury (smile). Maybe the C63 will provide. Thanks again. Replies to this message: abqhudson (Sep 20, 2007 12:42 pm) 1mbfan1 (Sep 25, 2007 10:53 am)

Replying to: 1mbfan1 (Sep 19, 2007 4:48 pm) Same for me - no memory seats means no sale. I'll wait until MB offers them. Replies to this message: 1mbfan1 (Sep 25, 2007 10:53 am)

#7 of 41 Decontenting of new C by toybenz Sep 24, 2007 (1:01 pm)
Not only are memory seats lacking, but the power tilt/telescopic wheel as well. Also, the front seat headrests (I believe) are no longer power-adjustable. What I would miss most are the old "fold down" headrests in the rear seat...

Replying to: toybenz (Sep 24, 2007 1:01 pm) I took the headrests out and put them in the trunk on my other car. When we have passenger(s) (once a month or less), we put them back in. Someone suggested that and we noticed that the visibility has greately improved. Replies to this message: 1mbfan1 (Sep 25, 2007 11:15 am)

Replying to: abqhudson (Sep 20, 2007 12:42 pm) I understand your wait 'abqhudson', afterall you can wait a year or be unhappy for several years with options we wish you had waited for. Thanks for replying.

Replying to: oberpfallz (Sep 21, 2007 5:43 pm) Nice to hear from you Greg. Can you please address the issues of my orginal post (re: cons) on the new C Class. Particularly why are those options not offered and when might they be? Thanks for replying.
