Confused About the Suspension Differences
I'm considering getting a new 2019 C300 Cabrio. I had one as a rental for 5 days and I enjoyed it. It had the base suspension with 18" tires and I thought the ride was surprisingly comfortable and it handled corners great.
The car that I am interested in is at an out of state dealer and it has the AMG Line package for $1,500 with 18" tires. The specs/size of the AMG Line package tires are exactly the same as the ones that come standard with the car. I thought the AMG Line package was simply cosmetic.
The MBUSA website does not mention anything about a sport suspension being included with the AMG Line package, but the window sticker on the car specifically says that a "Sport Suspension" is included with the AMG Line package. I do NOT want a harsh ride, so I don't know if the sport suspension with the AMG Line package will be to my liking.
What makes it more confusing is on the MBUSA website under the "Build your own" section it lists "Sport Suspension" as a standard feature on ALL C300 Cabrio models, but I think that might be a mistake on the site.
My goal is for comfort. Does anyone know if the Sport Suspension with the AMG Line package feels the same as the base suspension? I specifically didn't even consider the C43 AMG Cabrio because of the supposed harsher ride, but I just read other people post on this forum how surprised they were at the comfortable ride in the C43 AMG.
I know the obvious solution is to test drive all of them at a local dealer, but I don't want to waste their time when I know I won't be buying from them because the car with the colors I want is at an out of state dealer. That's why I wanted to get your input. Thanks.
