Cls450 Suspension?

Had the opportunity to put about 50 miles on the CLS450 loaner that i got yesterday, how do you owners like the suspension on it? Not sure if it has a bent rim or not, but on the highway there is so much vibration and feedback in the front end of the car? Is this normal? It reminds me of the 43 amg suspensions.

that's a loaded question. Depending on the configuration you drove, there are 2 options for suspensions on the CLS platform. Regular suspension, or the optional air suspension (which I have). I actually own a C43 and can attest that my car drives like a Cadillac compared to the C43. The C43 is much more aggressive on the road (in terms of feel).

I have a CLS450 without air suspension. On smooth roads it is fantastic and I have no complaints, over rough roads you definitely feel it. I wouldn’t say it is horrible though, this is a great car and it handles quite well even with the base suspension but I would absolutely spring for the air suspension.

I also have an AMG C63 with the air suspension and while it can be quite stiff, in Sport+ mode especially, it isn’t bad in comfort mode.
