Is that all they have to base a complaint upon!?!
Someone had to hold a button for... 10 SECONDS... the poor thing!
Would they have preferred if the mirror were broken or knocked off by something instead of having a folding feature?
How did they feel about having to manually open the door to enter the car? Turning the ignition key could have been stressful too I bet, but thank God for Keyless Go... It must have pained them more than most to have to pump their own gas... But wait...now you can stay in the car 'honey' because they have stations and attendants that pump gas for you!
What is really funny is that people like this buy these cars and then find fault and sell them at a deep discount because they couldn't cope with the most minor 'annoyance'.
MBZ cars are GREAT deals, especially when used, because some folks will take the depreciation hit for the most trivial of reasons!
Thank YOU for the bargains! :)

My family has had 2 C-class Mercs. Very solidly built, but just not worth the money. Not as reliable as my wife's Ford Fusion and maintenance costs are purely and simply ludicrous. That is why most ratings services (such as Consumer Reports) give these cars a "Much worse than average" cost-to-own factor. They just aren't worth it. If your ego can handle it, you are better off with a Ford. They're rated HIGHER in reliability.
