Well the handling was ok, but the car felt heavier and the lighter almost vague steering feel didn't help. The lower end and lighter models felt easier to control. But you're right, such a steering setup will be perfect for long-distance cruising like on American highways or even the German Autobahns. In effect most people buying a C320 CDI anyway are the "old man" crowd who are more into relaxed cruising than sporty driving.
Hi Christian, just wondering if this car you drove had the optional Parameter steering? It makes quite a difference on mine, extremely light when parking, and quite firm and direct on the motorway.
