couple impression of the car compare to my C32. You'll probably already know this, but I just feel like typing...lol
1. the C230k's steering is heavier, but it feels more responsive since the nose is lighter. However there's less feedback from the steering wheel to your hand.
2. the break on the C230k is also heavier, but feels about the same as my C32 in stopping power.
3. suspension looks to be lower than the C32's up front. It's much much softer than the AMG's suspension setup.
4. the turn signal stalk has a more solid feel.
5. the road noise is better isolated or it could just be my RE750's loud because of the harder compound.
6. the C230k has no problem climbing up the 25-30 degree hill where he lives and I used to live.
