C400 mini review

I picked up a C400 with sports package and LED. Here is my mini review:

Likes:
- Very high quality everything. Really does feel like a baby S.
- Burmester sounds pretty good.
- COMAND is not bad, although could use a facelift and overhaul.
- FAST engine. It is hard to reach the full potential of this motor on freeways.
- Car is very smooth in comfort mode. Smooth shifts, smooth motor, easy cornering.

Dislikes:
- Even on Sport+, the steering wheel is too loose and feels disconnected from the road, like I am playing a racing video game at the arcade. When I am cornering hard, I expect the steering wheel to fight back against me to give me feedback on how far I am pushing the turn, but the steering doesn't fight back at all.
- The car should start up in INDIVIDUAL mode everytime. Why keep starting me in comfort mode?
- The screen should face the driver.
- MB Apps seems to be a POS. Only works sometimes and when it does, is super slow.


Overall, I like this car, but the disconnected and light steering is what bothers me the most.

Is it possible to make the steering heavier like a BMW?
