I really appreciate your detailed driving report. It's good to read real world drivers evaluating a car rather than magazine editors who may not be knowledgeable or objective

My one serious concern about the W204 is the steering based upon your paragraph below. I gave up an E350 to buy my C350 because I felt the E350 steering was numb. The C350 steering feels heavier but it has great road feedback. Did you feel on the autobahn that you had to constantly make small steering corrections?

Thanks again for the report.

"Next surprise is the steering feel: you can turn the wheel super easy with two fingers. The steering itself is very direct and it needs a small turning angle only to change directions.
However IMO the steering wheel lacks response from the street, hence I had the impression that now and then I turned the wheel to much when entering some corners."
