Thanks for inquiring on lease payments for this vehicle. In order to provide you with the most accurate payment inclusive of taxes we just need a couple questions answered. 1. What zip code do you live in. Taxes are based on where you live and not where you buy the vehicle. 2. How many miles a year do you drive?
However, if you are talking about outright cornering ability, this is still a Mercedes-Benz without any AMG bits and bobs. This means that its front end washes out quite easily and understeer is the cornering method preferred. It does not feel nose heavy or anything if you are going at normal speeds, it actually has a nice initial turn-in with a lot of bite at lower speeds. The car is easy to manoeuvre at low speeds and even when you鈥檙e placing it into a corner. It is just at attack mode speeds that it wants you to take the corner slower a bit. It corners this way as it is the most comfortable C-Class on sale today. Even the more expensive C300 AMG-Line with its air-suspension isn鈥檛 as comfortably sprung as this variant. So it basically targets those that want comfort over anything else. That said, this would be a superb car for one to do a drive from Kuala Lumpur to Phuket as it is so comfortable for such long distance driving. Just don鈥檛 push it too hard in the corners and it will be fine. You and your passengers will be fine too as it is super refined.
I must also say that with the smaller than the larger 19 or 20inch wheels of the larger Mercedes-Benz sedans the C200 AV rides extremely well and because the tyres are narrower, the road noise is so much lesser. Coupled with the fact that the engine is small and actually very silent and smooth to its redline, it makes this compact sedan heckuva refined. It is much more comfortable in terms of its ride than the pre-facelift C200 AMG-Line I had the opportunity to try earlier but because of this, it will not corner as hard as that model. Not that I am complaining as again, it is more refined than any pre-facelift W205 model that came before it. C200 AMG-Line and especially the current C300 (which is fabulous - a review will come shortly). But you don鈥檛 buy this C200 to corner. You buy this C200 to waft in silence and comfort. It MAY be entry level C-Class, but it is still first class all the way.
In terms of other upgrades, the facelifted C200 AV gets more Active Safety equipment than previously. This means that it has Pre-Collision Warning and also Blind Spot monitors to go with the usual slew of airbags, ABS, EBD, TCS, sealbelts, ISOFIX and other safety nomenclature. It only lacks the additional lane-keeping assist systems of the pricier and more powerful C300 AMG-Line. The facelifted Mercedes-Benz C200 Avantgarde is actually quite a good upgrade from the pre-facelift model. So all-in-all, a great upgrade in many ways over the previous C200. Recommended for those that want to feel they鈥檝e made it in life at under RM259,888 onwards. The only thing is that if you want to corner really fact in a C-Class, you may need to buy higher up the range. The C 200 now comes with an enhanced with the AVANTGARDE exterior features as a dynamic front bumper with central trim element in high-sheen chrome and air inlets with diamond-pattern mesh in grained black.
