Looks very nice.
Thanks. LOL. Teasmaid symbol is bizarre! As I explained earlier in the thread, if you drift across lanes on the motorway.A road, the cup gets bigger and there's an audible warning...suggesting that a break might be needed, presumably for a coffee!! You can disable this function.

Nice one. In 8k miles I've made mine come on once!! At least it proved it works and I have to confess that I had just made a couple of erratic moves on the motorway - blame the kids!!

Lovely car with the right engine Merc have come a long way with the interiors. How you getting on with the foot operated parking brake?

The Becker nav is a bargain and nice to use.

Isn't the 7sp auto smooth.

Thanks! Yep, the interior is great, the map pilot, after faffing with incredibly frustrating updates is excellent and the engine is superb! This is my first auto, so taking some getting used to, but it's great to drive to work in eco mode and I just let the car waft along... and sport and manual modes seem entertaining enough! The only thing I really don't like is the foot operated brake. It seems utterly anachronistic and is really unnatural to use. I can only assume that Mercedes fit it still out of some bizarre nod to their heritage. They should ditch it immediately!
