Hi, 
 
just took delivery of the orion blue c320. 
 
after one day, i got 150kms on the clock already! Its a totally different car compare to what i used to drive(92' Accord lx, 1995 prelude srv, 2000 prelude sh, 2001 CL Type S). i am used to front wheel drive cars. The rear wheel drive benz needs time to get use to it. 
 
so far, the car handles very good. it handles better than the cl type s in terms of braking and going fast. the car is so stable. However, i found that the rear end of the car feels like swaying away whenever i make a turn at 60km/h. so right now i had to slow down to like 20-30km/h than turn. Its my first time owning a rear wheel drive car. Any tips on drive it? 
 
i know its a very save car, but i like to know how i can maximize the use of it.

When you go into a tight turn and you need more oversteer you have to downshift and use the throttle to control the oversteer. On fwd drive cars giving it too much gas in a turn plows the front end and give you understeer.
