There is both height and reach adjustment which is easily activated by a sliding lever underneath the steering column. There are no stalks on the right-hand side of the column. On the left, the large stalk controls the indicators and wipers - there's no wiper on the rear though (strange) - while the smaller one-touch stalk sets the cruise control and is one of the simplest, most effective system around. Mirror adjustment is controlled from a dial and push-buttons on the right-hand side of the dashboard, while below that sits the headlight, foglight and headlight height adjustment controls, and below that again the hand release for the foot-operated parking brake - a Benz special that one. The drivers' control for the two auto-up/down power windows sits very low on the door. Annoying were the six blanks under the air-condiitoning vents on the centre console, which implies the car is down-specced. Did you know?A couple of annoying omissions include no rain sensing or variable intermittent wipers and no auto-dipping on the interior mirror. The Sports Coupe does have a left footrest, howeverAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
