Seats with memory

Ed Keohane

I've never run a car that has a memory function on its electric seats and mirrors. In fact, most of the cars I've owned have stick-your-hand-out-of-the-window mirror adjustment. But the Freelander has the works. And I think that's great. Why? Because, when you lend the car to a colleague, as I regularly do, there's nothing better than getting back into the driver's seat and pushing one button to put everything back the way it was when you handed over the keys.

About Ed Keohane

Says his job description should be shown at the Smithsonian as one of the longest documents in the English language. Likes small cars and simple 4x4s that he can mend himself.

Couldn't agree more Ed.  I have a Z4M with memory seats, three settings:  One for me, one for the missus (only drives occasionaly, but much shorter than me), and one for egress and ingress because it is much easier!

You guys are lucky, my CLS's memory function, put simply, doesn't work. I take it to Mercedes, they say `yes, there is a fault` and that was it. Then they mentioned it was £155 to repair. Jammy gits.

Maybe it's because I haven't had to share a car since my Dad's Lada in nineteen oatcake, but I've never seen the point of memory seats. Just one more thing to go wrong and cost £155 to repair.

About the memory seats in the CLS; i'm very suprised. We've got them in our last gen C class and they're brillant; easy to use and set. I think every car should have them.
