What are your top 3 favourite MB gizmos?

[SL350_SWINDON]

Sbc hold is: when your car is stationary press the brake pedal hard and it activates sbc hold which locks the brakes on and you can relax your feet. When you pull away it automatically releases the brake hold

 

[IanS320]

1. Accurate mpg and range
2. Simple wheel mounted gear selector
3. Well behaved auto wipers and lights

Things I could probably live without:
1. That 'programmable' star button that can be programmed only with massively pointless functions.
2. Sport and manual mode
3. The inability to sat nav with a full postcode

 

[BFT]

1) Folding Hard Top
2) Massaging Seats
3) M113K Engine - Still an awesome engine 12 years on.

My S204 has got this facility but I don't think it has SBC so would mine just be called 'hold'? Is there a difference? V good feature regardless.

Heated steering wheel. I think it was £110 when we specced the SLK. Worth every penny.

Yes, your S204 definitely does not have SBC but it may well be a similar mechanism unless it is an automatic / electronic handbrake?

Not as many on a CLKas some of you guys but mine would be
1 Leather and walnut combination in the interior
2 cruise control
3 A decent stereo as standard. This is a first.
I can go on and on, but as I just changed from a Citroen Saxo diesel with wind up windows, everything on this is a wonderful Gizmo!
