| 1)Creaking (for lack of a better word) probably from the convertible mechanism, normal? |
I get a slight creaking from the top of the windshild/headliner when the top is down.

| 2)Proper use of power window controls. I push it once, whether a little or a lot and it activates the "down all the way feature", so to CRACK the window, you have to push the window button, then push it again when it gets where I want it. For me, about a second later. Is this normal? |
My 99 has an endent you have to press it past for the one touch down.

| 3)CD Changer, skips like anything. Granted I am using CD-R's, but isn't it just an Alpine changer? Looks very similar. Anyone else have this problem? Should I invest in an aftermarket unit and changer? |
Try the CD-R's at home if they don't skip there then they should work in the car, I don't think anyone makes an aftermarket changer, the MB units are optical.

| 4)How do you drive your car? I find myself shifting out of first when it hits the high 4's, I never do that in my Mustang (99 GT). The first gear is just really low. What does the AUTO do? I also find myself pushing this car more and more, is this wrong? I drive my Mustang for work (20k/year) so its mostly freeway driving. |
First gear is good to about 30 mph with the 5800 rpm redline, a bit more with the 6200 rpm(it's very short, the car is not light)

| 5)Shimmy (for lack of a better word) on the freeway, is this normal? I have Contisport (?) 225/45/17s on it. Is this the tire hitting the grooves in the freeway? My Mustang with 245/45/17s doesn't do that at all, it tracks straight and doesn't weave at all. The SLK tracks straight it just goes back and forth. |
I get it following road groves at slow speeds but not at high speeds.
