2009 C350
Hello. New C350 owner here.
Whats up guys,
I just picked up a brand new 09' C350 with 18" AMG wheels package, package 2 option, and a multimedia package. It's black on black.
I was actually shopping for a C300 with multimedia package but priced out a C350 and it wasn't that much of a difference.
I really love the way the car looks and way it drives. This is the first benz i've purchased.
I ran into a few minor problems tho from day one.
- There's a leaky wind noise coming from the right rear window. At first i thought it was just a sticker flapping on the side but there's nothing there, seems like maybe there's a defect in the window or something
- The steering wheel seems like it's vibrating little bit at idling and when driving. maybe im just being too sensitive about this part.
other than those issues, i love the car. will post pics soon, and hope to get lot of help from u guys.

Welcome to the forum...you will find we are a lively bunch...
As far as your issues go, I had a little bit on wind noise on my drivers side during my test drive. The salesman and I lowered the window and found the weather stripping wasn't quite tucked up in the frame as is should have been. A little push and it was perfect with no problem since.
The steering almost sounds like a motor mount issue...or over sensitive hands. If it really seems problematic, take it for service and/or maybe ask to drive a compareable car for a baseline feel.
Good Luck.

Congrats on the new car and welcome to mbworld!
I think you'll be happy you opt'd for the 3.5L over the 3.0L, assuming you like a little performance in your sedan.
