I didn't feel any major changes in steering tightness at various speeds. It was as if this car wasn't equipped with the Parameterlenkung which is weird since it is my understanding that all newer MB's have this.

The steering was very responsive but the feedback was just very light. I wouldn't call the steering feedback totally uncommunicative but it wasn't very direct either.

No time for that sadly. I only had less than an hour to test the car so I only concentrated on the really important things like the way it drives and the pictures etc.

BY THE WAY, I moved this thread back to the MB SL forum because for some reason I kept getting errors when trying to reply in the Users Review thread. Weird.
