I don't know if this will be a popular topic, but this is my first MB and I'm going to list a few things I don't like about the Metris.
1-- The passenger mirror on my cargo is really dangerous for lack of vision, I know others hate them too.
2 -- The 12 volt cigarette lighter receptacle. In the very bottom and rear of the console, close to the floor. You can't see it, you have to feel for it.
3-- I got the factory trailer hitch and wiring. There is NO included adapter for the the round factory receptacle to flat 4 pin wiring on some trailers. My Dodge Ram & Durango came with those adapters included.
4 -- when driving with the drivers window down, the air causes the right rear sidewall sheet metal to vibrate at times. Put up the window and all is quiet.
I only have 200 miles on it so far...... it is going back to the dealer because the rear muffler bracket hits the frame and vibrates, I sent a vid to the dealer and they are going to fix it.
5 -- The cargo factory floor with the D rings -- toooo slippery. I had other vans with no slip floors from the factory. This floor is like a skating rink. Nothing stays in place and slides all around as you turn the vehicle. I will be installing a commercial grade carpet squares with a low nap.
I know the Germans are very Spartan at times with their interiors. For years, they didn't understand the concept of a cup holder in a car.........
I may be picky, but for a MB, I expected better than this. I shouldn't have to alter the vehicle basics -- mirrors, floors to make it right.
