Previous W204 C63 owners, can you comment on steering feel?

Can anyone comment on steering feel? Im a little worried that the W205 electric steering might feel detached from the road compared to the W204, hoping for any real world opinion on the subject?

Thank you!

I had two W204's and my 16 W205 has excellent steering in comparison - very precise. It might tell you a bit less about the what the wheels are doing but the feeling and precision are excellent.

The steering and suspension is much more precise and refined on the W205 S chassis.

Both

We currently have both in the family, and I like them both. They are different.

The W204 is more familiar to me and all the other AMG's from older years to me.

I'm don't frequent the tracks in either car, so I can't comment on performance/feel at the limit.

The W205 def has a slow speed (old 70's caddi feel) meaning super boosted at super low speeds.
