are you an owner driving C250 W205 too?

the price still keras after 4year + . RM180 k now alot options.
Can consider F30 LCI which drives pretty good , and build up quality improved over pre-F30. + cheaper alot.

SA said the new C Class (CBU) likely be launching in Malaysia this Sept. I have my eye on this model too. So far, had tested BMW 3 series 330i & Volvo S60. Based on interior alone, Volvo takes the cake. BMW looks dated and lack the luxury feel. Was intending to get the S60 until SA pointed out the rear seats cannot be folded down.

really? usually new launched gen models will be very tight lipped. as overseas just launced not long ago. msia would take at least close to 1 year for it to arrive.
i was estimating early next year as E class facelift already long due supposed to be refreshed and launched.

Hello questions to all owner, when going thru uneven road or bumps at speed above 10km/h suspension/brake any noise from the front? Not like squeaking noise but like car scrapping the road (pretty sure didn't scrap).

Secondly, when coming to complete stop or moving from a complete stop brakes would be very loud like nguuuu sound, not the screeching one.

Thirdly, electric steering adjustment, sometimes it is working sometimes it is not. Anyone facing this issue?

This is for a w205 facelifted model, barely 1.5 years and 25k km

Based on ur questions , may I ask add on question , is this your first conti experience?

1) u drive which model ? W205 pre- or facelift ? Adaptive suspension or Air Sus version?
2) Yeah , this is absolutely normal for Conti makes. Drive an Audi , BMW's all same based on my experience. They produce the nguuu sound. But it does ensure during your pressing brakes, stopping power is not compromised and inertia feeling is greatly reduced. Local / Jap / Hyundai makes all produce the usual screeching sound and inertia is badly felt in these makes.
3) Steering shaft. Normal. Becuz each time u go in and out of the car the whole steering column automatically have to adjust for you.


Cross checked some info too. Completely normal. Nice car required more time care and money to be taken care of, thats what you're buying for the experience.
