C270CDi Estate (late 2004 facelift model) - Bought 2005, Sold 2022.
I've recently bought a 6 month old C270 estate and am generally very pleased with it.
However, having read how stable and unaffected by crosswinds these cars are on motorways, mine seems to sort of squirm as it drives along, and it's very affected by crosswinds.
It does have the usual C Class drift to the left, but the tyres are all wearing evenly.

Any ideas? Are the estates notably worse in this respect than saloons?
 
I have the saloon and am not happy with the wind noise coming from the drivers door area on the motorway at speed but unforuately thats MB build quality...

I find all C class's prone to cross wind wobbles. Just learnt to live with it!
But then again i only get the prob at 90+

It may be worth having the tracking on front and rear checked and adjusted.
