Hello all hope everyone is safe and well
Am a current MB owner after switching from being a BMW Fan Boy for many decades and plan to upgrade my petrol engine for an EQA 300 AMG Line.
I have been holding off for sometime in part due to the lack of some, what I call must have features I like in my current A200 especially driving around Amsterdam and parts of The Netherlands. First Must have was Augmented Reality, now I dont normally use the Navigation of MB one reason is I hate the voice which cant be changed and the other is it doesn't tell me where speed cameras are so I normally just use WAZE via CarPlay. But one important function of Augmented Reality is the front facing camera at traffic lights. Due to the dumbest location of traffic lights I have ever seen if you are at the front on the line you cant see the lights you have to stop almost a car length short of the intersection to be able to see the lights unless the sun roof is open. The other option is electric memory seats which was taken off as an option due to the chip shortage but as of this week its back on. So they were the two Must have options I know it may seem trivial to some but it was a real show stopper for me. One of the other features of my A200 I love is the Multi Beam LED's these things are awesome and not sure why they are not an Option on the EQA because they are on the GLA.
So once I lock in my order I will no doubt share the same frustrations as others with delays delays and more delays. Fortunately not in any hurry ..
