In the spirit of full disclosure: 

- seriously rough idle, enough to make it
uncomfortable to drive around town - may be motor
mounts but I'm not sure 
- transmission downshifts a little hard when I punch
it (not that I would ever drive it hard)
- radio doesn't work - this happened after a trip to
the local MB dealer for some front end work so I
suspect they dislodged some of the aftermarket wiring
to the amps in the trunk but I haven't been able to
get underneath to trace it
- hood liner is sagging
- wife doesn't like the feel of the seats and won't
ride in it (doesn't much like my new C320 Sport
either)
