| Question on Wind Noise and Brake Feel I have read posts where they say at around 80mph there is a rather noticeable wind noise from the mirrors. I have read others that say that wind noise is not a problem. Now, that many of you have your cars, what is your real feeling on wind noise? I was also wonering about the feel of the brakes. The two times I have had a short drive with a C300 demonstrator, I felt that the brakes were too sensitive. It seemed like they might be over boosted. Is this a problem or was I over sensitive to the brakes coming on stronger than those on my 06 C350? |

| Re: Question on Wind Noise and Brake Feel The wind noises appear at about 130-140 km/h in my experience, and I've heard that they become quieter at higher speeds. When I drove the C-Classes, I only heard the wind noises near the mirrors. You hear it, but it is not something that bothers you as the cabin does a good job of keeping exterior noises out for the most part. I found the brakes to be quite sensitive too, but I liked that feel. I like brakes that respond quickly and have stopping power. You can still brake softly - if you push the pedal softly. ![]() |

And i also like to notice sensitivity of brakes at higher speeds, gives me more confidence that i'll actually be able to stop my car if things get critical. But at the end, they're (brakes) sensitive as your foot is gentle on them. ![]() ![]() | |
