I’ve driven many new Mercedes models and have come to the conclusion that this brand does steering better than anyone right now. From a Metris Van to a GLE…MB steering has a way of being light and very accurate. Very little steering effort and corrections are needed. Kind of weird not many journalists mention this as far as I know.
Does anyone know what makes their steering so good? Mechanical parts or calibration?
It’s good for it’s primary purpose of being a daily driver. I would not want it when driving on fast. You wouldn’t know what the front wheels are doing or be able to correct a slide.
So true. When I drive hard, on my MINI I can feel how the tyre sidewall gives up, how the front inner wheel is overloaded even before I start significantly understeering. On the Merc I don’t have that many fine details. It is more like “sliding: yes/no”.
Probably helps that your Mini is a performance application whereas the Merc is the most basic C Class available
