Mercus and Ultraseven: I find that when I have the back with people in it, I find that the car is more prone to oversteer actually. Now while we are complaining that the C230 is front heavy, the solution in my opinion isn't as simple as simply adding people in the back.
Adding people to the back does not show improvement because you are not really relocating weight. You have two people up front and the two in the back are close to the center of gravity. Relocating the battery is a classic move that has been done since the muscle car era.

Still trying to find the percentages f/r for the C230 Kompressor sedan, it must be locked up with the Masons because no one seems to have it
