Car Delivered

The car turned up from the dealer - and they efficiently showed us how it worked - all the normal stuff. (No flowers though ! when I was at the dealer last time, I noticed a basket of flowers had been placed in a car to be delivered.. so I expected the same, shame particularly since the car was for my wife)

I asked a few questions (where was the boot cover we had asked for.. missing).. and the representative was very helpful.

A couple of things I hadn't picked up on were.. no dipstick ! so you can't check the oil. Just rely on the sensors...

The tyres have low pressure sensors.. so again, no need to check - and then the more amazing thing, 30 year breakdown cover (as long as you maintain the car according to mercedes schedule)

It took a bit of time to work out the radio programming and also the blue tooth phone system.. which is a bit of strange system. It doesn't seem to have the same functionality as the blue tooth we have in the other car (Audi A4) or the navigation system.. which can basically do everything. This blue tooth only can give the numbers.. not the phone books. Similarly, the ipod connection will be limited. At least there is a 12v connector in the glovebox so that you can connect everything up in one place.
