"Annoying bugs in a great car"
Pros: Roomy, nice styling, excellent power and good mileage.
Cons: New low-profile wheels are a mistake: I had 2 sidewalls blow out in the first 3000 miles driving New York streets. The electronics are confusing- I challenge any owner to turn OFF the radio while Nav
Summary: This is a new design for a superb car - my 6th Benz. It is beautiful pwerful and has a wonderful ride. Gas mileage is better than I expectd and trunk space as well as interior space are excellent. The car is a joy to drive.
Except, the new low profile wheels have a tendency to blow the tires when you hit a pothole. I replced two wheel rims and two blown tires in the first 3000 miles. The rear doors went berserk and could not be opened or locked. Repaired. Finally, the electronics on this car as comp;lex as any I've ever seen. WHile that gives the driver lots of options (you can turn devices on and off from the steering wheel or from the joystick) it makes operations diffciult. for example, it is very hard to turn off the radio while Navigation is on.

I agree its a bit buggy, loading my Nav is a bit slow, but I've gotten use to it, but I've never experince you had. You should have the dealer "update" your system. (According to my dealer, he said it's possible, but I'm not sure)
