Ditto! After trying Chrysler, GM and Ford, the MB is by far the easiest to
use - and the one on my 15 yr old MB works perfectly like it were brand
new - it engages instantly & holds the speed exactly with no drifting.
as far as needing to reach around the steering wheel to operate the arm -
for me I can reach it with my fingertips just like the turnsignals.
The buttons on the steering wheel pad gave me the most trouble finding them
in the dark - and the most odd part to other CC systems are needing to turn
them *on* - geez - if I'm driving, the CC should be turned on only needing
to be "set" to start working. I have no idea why so many system have a
ON/OFF switch.
It took a few minutes to memorize the 4 commands to use with the CC stalk -
but pushing it up momentarily is really the only important command.

Sure they are, and it's the best design and easiest to use of all of them.
No
on switch to find or buttons to press. Just a touch with the left index
finger or thumb. The GM and Ford designs are awful.
Of course, the Consumer Reports testers always have trouble, confusing the
turn signal switch with the CC handle.
RLE/Seattle. two power outages, two days apart.
