I consider myself lucky

If all I have wrong is hairy seats and with the rest of the stuff you guys are talking about, I consider myself damn lucky. I have no real problems with my Cl-S at all. I have owned mine 1 year today and other than the sunroof, I have had nothing go wrong. There are some design flaws but nothing outrageous. I feel for you with brake problems, stereo problems, IMRC switches and the like. Maybe I'm not smart enough to realize it but I'm happy with my selection. I guess sometimes it pays NOT to be the sharpest knife in the drawer!

BTW I have 19,400 miles on mind and I don't baby it!
