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.

No, not my first.

1) Facelifted, adaptive, and the issue was apparently not enough lubricant for the suspension, SA took care of it after complaining. So if any owners here kena same issue... just bring back to mercedes lahh but need to leave 1 day to check.

2) Hmm I actually brought this up with SA and they say its normal. Relatively speaking, VWs surprisingly softer, it is there but more subtle. Older Mercedes softer as well. (e.g. w204) not so loud. Local/Jap/Hyundai those, I only really had exp with Corolla, that car was silent but then again i think it had only 2 disc.

3) This one personally... quite unacceptable lah, not because its broken but I had to bring back to Mercedes like 3 times to finally get the entire rack fixed/replace and now it is working perfectly again. If they solved it with 1 visit then its a different story.

C180, C200, both Avantgarde 2016, which one to go for? price diff around 20-25k

If really into Mercedes, at least C200... preferably the facelifted ones at least it comes with latest feature, android auto, digital cockpit and etc. Tbh C200 don't feel fast, just adequate. Only good thing bout it is just the interior.

Anyone can enlighten me on the most common problems / issue of this car? The car price seems to be strong.

Can refer to my previous post.. so far the only issue I faced is the steering column (fixed under warranty). Other than that its reliable.
