When the W210 came out in the fall of 1995, I had a chance to take one out for a spin. I wasn't too impressed with the R/P steering. It's didn't seem as "rock steady" as my 190E. it hunted and wandered lots at 120 km/h.

Now, we own a 1998 E300 with the same steering, and it seems to feel VERY different from that early 1996 car I drove. Did they change anything? Our 1998 is really steady and provides lots of road feel, but maybe isn't s solid at-center as the R/B in the C230.

I find the R/P better around town, and the R/B better on the open highway. All MHO, of course...
