IF your C300 doesn't have the dynamic handling package, it does not have speed sensitive steering. That is why every review out there mentions the light steering compaared the BMWs, which ALL have speed sensitive steering.

Curious if anyone has asked about retrofitting any of the dynamic handing package to a 2008 model, especially the speed sensitive steering option. I would love to get that.

'10 C300 Sport

Readout for each wheel psi came in handy yesterday... change in temps likely the cause, but only the rear left. Strange. 28psi vs 35psi rest.

2009 C350

I drove a diesel 2009 5 series bimmer from munich to stuttgart, loved the steering on that car, not too light, makes the car feel firmly planted on the ground. My C350 has too light steering for my taste.
