Some peeves with the MB

Why do these cars come with the Car-Phone controls on the head unit and steering wheel when nobody uses a dedicated car phone anymore?

Bluetooth should be standard along with an Aux input. Also...The cup-holder is pretty strange but then again the German cars these tend to be an afterthought. I understand American's demand cup-holders and Domestic Vehicles tend to have two for every person but there should be a happy medium with at least one functional cup-holder for each front occupant.
What year C230 did you get? I loved the look of them after their 2005 refresh. I always found the interior to be high quality and while the back seat is tight the front seats are the same size as my 2003 325i's were. I also enjoyed the fantastic paint colors they offered, I was a huge fan of the Mars Red option with a nice black leather interior
