Nice, please do share your pictures of the track day, as for the firm it is a trade off for having a sporty suspension, I mean the W205 was worse so it is an improvement on the W206, I do think the R232 SL 43's suspension would be better though.

I'm really happy to hear that. I suppose people's definition of "sports car" are very different, but at the very least, it's got a little personality to it. The firm ride definitely lends more to the sporty persona, so I definitely do not see it as a bad thing.

I still want one but so many things are telling me it's not worth it.

I am actually interested too, there are lots to like about it, I am just weighing on the options and see if the compromises like you mentioned plus some were worth it, I heard the car pulls better at high RPM surprisingly than our W205s so that was interesting.

Wow...even if it was for 4 years its not worth it. I went through a ton of tires and 1 cracked rim through 4 years with my C43 that I have right now. I don't even think that added up to $4500. Also, there's all the $50 deductibles or whatever it is that you'd have to pay with the wheel tire warranty which would take the total cost to well over $4500.
Did you ask how much tires and rims are for your car? I'm assuming you have the 20" wheels right?

Still hard to justify 4500.
If i get the c43, im going with the 18s. Cant wait to have less tire and wheel worries.
My old c43 has the 19s and I went through too many flats and a bent rim within 2 years. I'm done.

The new 20s easily will cost 1200 - 1800 each from dealer.

The 20s look amazing, but it really is going to depend on what your government does with your tax money. If they're making a concerted effort at maintaining the roads in your area, you're good. If they're taking that money and building useless infrastructure like hospitals and schools, then you'd better get the 18s
