It seems that the W204 has a wind noise problem due to the door mirrors. I was wondering whether the mirrors could be replaced when the facelifted version is released. Is that possible?

 

For all of the development that went into this car, I find this very hard to believe. That they would miss such a simple detail when you look at the effort that went into the vented brake light lenses, that they wouldn't think of mirrors is a little crazy

 

I really what to hear from mercedes on wtf is going on with wind noise. This wind noise is being issued by every one.

 

I agree with you. This is the most tested Mercedes Benz ever and they shouldn't have missed that.

 

This wind noise issue.... Who are these people, "everyone," that is talking about this issue? Show me a link, I have yet to hear about this in any of the articles I have read.

 

Here is the link:

There is also a quote on top of the picture.

 

that is why i am concerened, i mean mercedes said the cabin noise has been decreased some 15% but then at what time idle or highway speed. The top gear writer was squealing like a pig about windnoise.

 

Pah! Fifth Gear! I wouldn't trust anything that lot have to say, it's a tabloid tv programme at best.

 

The opinions of these mags are bought and sold. Test drive one for yourself if you are in the market.

It seems almost to perfect. Give a review exclaiming the truth about the car and make up a small detail to give the edge to a competitor (read: higher paying manufacturer).

Just a theory...

 

i've not driven it so i can't say for sure, but that is certainly the only review i've seen so far that even mentions wind noise. so i'm skeptical.

 

Fifth gear sucks ***** compared to Top Gear... except for Tiff.
