Notice, the new C Class' handling has not improved, at least not statistically. The W203 C350 already achieved 0.83 G of handling and this Edmunds report indicates the same figure for the W203 C350.

I don't recall the slalom speed of the W203 C350.

Is that true ?

''Why else would Mercedes forfeit the previous car's aerodynamic shape, going from a 0.26 coefficient of drag to a new 0.30 Cd? ''

No more pointed front ends. All newly designed Euro cars must have higher front ends due to new European pedestrian safety rules.

Yes You are right !

some faults willl be recover every model year why my 05 w203 does not looks like 00-01 model as inside look and handling . This is very bad paradox. you buy one but next year one you see better ! Life rules ....
