As per the title, I'm interested in knowing, before mine arrives, if anyone here has the S205 (wagon/estate version of W205) and experiences the drivers/passengers door wind noise issues widely mentioned here?

I have a S205 with no wind noise, the fastest that I have driven the car is 140km/h (has it still only 1300km on the clock, want to run it in a little first). I'm not sure if my car is fitted with acoustic window though.

Yes, I've got S205 (C250 Sport Prem+ Airmatic) delivered Dec 2014, built in South Africa. Severe wind noise above 50 mph. Been into the dealer who tightened up the front doors and the wind noise decreased a little. Occurs on both driver and passenger side.

It seems to be hit and miss whether your car will get the wind noise or not from other W205 forums.

I drove a 2015 S205 (C200 AMG Sport Prem) yesterday that didn't have as much wind noise as my own car, but still worse than my E220 coupe.

That's interesting as I thought all s205 (estate) were built in Germany. Mine was.

I take delivery this week.

Why would you specifically ask anyone with a problem to report back? I mean how is that representative?

Interesting. BTW, how do you compare your S205 with your RX400?

I really wish they sold the S205 here. I love the looks, especially lowered. And a bit more utility for outings too. Enjoy it!
