'95 C280
W203 sux

Hey guys, just wanted to know if you guys had the same problem or if you guys feel the same way.

I was driving one my friends c320's yesterday and as soon as i got into the car, it felt as if it was controlled by the computer. I just ignored it and turned off the traction. i was driving the car like i would be driving my '95 c280. i took a turn and was getting ready to fishtale, as i turned the steering wheel the other way to get the rear wheels back, the steering became really stiff. it felt just like when a car is off and u try to turn the steering wheel with out the power steering. the car obviously lost it to one side but i let go of the gas and keot pumping it to keep the tires spinning. the steering went back to normal so i got it back to the otherside and i just gunned it looked as though i was doing it on purpose, like a 180. i asked 5 people who either have the car or have driven one and they told me the same thing happenbed to them.

the reason why i was driving the car was because i was about to buy a 2003 c230k 4 door, but after the incedent i dont think i want it anymore. do you guys know if the sport drives differently? if you guys have any info or any comments please respond and please change my mind or else i'm going to have to go with the played out bimmer.
