ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM
Is the ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM worth the purchase without the On/Off-Road Package?
Those 450 owners without the ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM, do you regret not purchasing it? |
Don't know if there is any performance relationship between Active Curve and Off Road, but I road tested GL550 with & without Active Curve and there is a significant difference in handling. Wouldn't have bought GL if Active Curve had not been available-too "floaty".
BTW, I have Off Road and given recent weather in NE, it has been extremely good even with OEM 21" tires. |
One of the must have options. Definitely night and day difference in handling compared to an X166 without the ACS.

I don't have the ACS or the ADS system, and I was afraid to test drive one with that option since I didn't want it to become a must-have option once I experienced it.
The GL450 w/o it is "floaty", sometimes I do regret not getting it on local drives, but then the $3500+ saved brings a bit of comfort :) |
After reading the suggestions on this forum, I ordered mine with ACS. It handles turns and curves with almost no movement side-to-side. I saw no need to order the Off Road Package, but I almost never take my vehicle off of pavement. I'm very happy with my choice.

Do some search. You'll find some good answers.
Would never buy another MB SUV without it. I love to drive like many of us here and it's a difference that can be felt, especially on a big car like the GL. Even my wife notices the difference. If you're not that specific about handling, don't get it. You'll never know the difference. |
Thanks guys. It looks like ASC is a must.:y
