 I like my car, having owned it longer than many cars in the past.  I have improved HP through new supercharger pulley, put AMG wheels and 17" tires in place of the silly Michelins, but otherwise, it was well designed out of the box.  It's fun to drive, the automatic transimission works well, and manual mode is useful.  I like the nav system, and generally most everything works as advertised.  I know resale isn't great, but there is nothing Mercedes can do about that.  Resale comes from perception.  But my first car was a VW Corrado, and this car is the closest thing to an upscale Corrado anyone has ever made.  Would love to see AWD as an option.
