Hello, everyone! Please, help me with some advice. I have just ordered the new C-Class (W205) AMG-Line and would like to know your thoughts, or facts, whether the Sport suspension will compromise, or improve, the ride?
A little about where I'm coming from; owned 3 Peugeot (307 SW, 406 Sedan), and is currently driving a Peugeot 508 SW (2012) which I bought brand new. All cars have had standard suspension set-up, which I always thought could need a little sportier feel, although I've been happy with all cars otherwise. I quite like the 508 ride, but must say that I really fancy driving on 17" tyres rather than original 16". The ride is a little firmer on the 17", more the way I like it with a little less (not much, of course) body roll and better feel with the road. The road noise is of course a little bit louder with 17", but overall ride experience/handling makes it well worth it. Now, I want something sportier that at the same time gives the Merc-comfort.
The new W205 will be delivered in May, and the dealer told me that I can change any options right until the production date (beginning of May), so, in the meantime I try to find out how the new C-Class (or even the prior model) will behave with AMG-Line (sport suspension and 18").
