Voodooman Supersonic June 30, 2018 Share June 30, 2018 Going to get some flak but many SUV drivers drive over humps like gu nian, negating one of the main benefits of getting a SUV. Sometimes at the causeway, where humps are free, they drive like they have sensitive ass, darn jialat. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdash Supersonic June 30, 2018 Share June 30, 2018 Can any GLC owner share thier ride experience if you even driven a sedan and now a SUV, how is the switch over feel like. I personally think suv is bumpy. Planning to get a GLCdefinitely going to be very different experience. go for test drive and decide from there whether you are ok with the ride experience. get your OC and kids along if they are particular. all the best!

inlinesix Supersonic June 30, 2018 Share June 30, 2018 Haha... I have the same concern. Love the GLC. I am not so worried over the bumpy ride (SUV eats hump for breakfast, lunch and dinner), it is the body roll and stability at high speed that I am not sure I can tolerate over the long run. But if you are moving from a floaty Japanese sedan to a high end conti SUV with good suspension set up, you might not feel the difference. Love to hear the views of GLC owners. Hearsay, G wagen has not issue in taking high speed corner. I believe GLC should be no issue. Nowadays, SUV is meant to be use on the road. It will be more road-biased. I believe it will have no issue in term of body roll and stability at high speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between a SUV and a sedan of the same make and class, more body roll and lesser stability is a given but I agree some SUV are really good at minimizing this problem. For example, crossovers. I was driven in a Cayenne recently, excellent ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic June 30, 2018 Share June 30, 2018 The higher tyre profile and longer suspension travel contributes to the bumpiness. Go test the difference between an 18" wheel (non-RFT) on standard suspension (C&C stock standard test drive u it) vs a 19" wheel RFT with slight lower and firmer sports suspension of the AMG line. I prefer the latter setup. From sedan to suv. There will be more lateral movements from uneven surface and cornering. That can make rear passengers feel like they are being jostled laterally abit more. As before, firmer and lower suspension with larger wheels helps mitigate this side effects better. IMHO, get the 4matic with 45:55 front rear split. It is a very good to have for increased road holding during bends and curve esp in the wet or sandy condition.

Zze121 3rd Gear July 2, 2018 Share July 2, 2018 In short :"illegal & unauthorised software defeat devices, to recall more than 200,000 cars in Germany. They monitor cars manufacturers outside of Germany. Metadata er manufacturers and seeing that their test values sometimes go through the roof. But can't do anything because they get the approvals in their own country." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic July 2, 2018 Share July 2, 2018 Mainly affected are MB diesel cars. C&C don't bring in diesel cars. PI MB diesel cars...... To be recalled to detune the engine (literally since emission defeat programming is basically just throwing any emission control out for sake of more power), good luck to the effort. If I am a PI MB diesel car owner... I will not bother...and I will make sure they do not flash any update when I go servicing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebeamer 1st Gear July 2, 2018 Share July 2, 2018 my car jerks sometimes when i'm in gear 3 or 4, my foot is off the accelerator or break and the car is cruising and slowing down to 38-40km/hr. anyone have any idea what it could be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic July 2, 2018 Share July 2, 2018 Oh yeah, forgot all about the new inspection requirements. It should be measured against the models' baseline emission specification right? I wonder if they go by the specs submitted during homologation (if LTA even bother to test the emission themselves at all). Yes, suddenly lose a few horses that you have paid for.

Oh yeah, forgot all about the new inspection requirements. It should be measured against the models' baseline emission specification right? I wonder if they go by the specs submitted during homologation (if LTA even bother to test the emission themselves at all). meaning measure CO2? nah doubt they measure anything listed on the VES. too tough and difficult to implement, no manufacturer will also guarantee this after 2-3years.

Very useful for customs jams https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/owners/videos/detail/videoId-26ce5063a954d310VgnVCM1000007c184335RCRD ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
