THE C180's new-found handling dynamics owe much to the car's new three-link MacPherson spring strut front suspension. It incorporates an anti-dive system and anti-roll bar, while the multi-link independent rear suspension (pictured) is also coil sprung and includes an anti-squat/anti-lift device. Suspension remains composed at all speeds and has a remarkable ability to deliver a red carpet ride on most surfaces as well as crisp turn-in with low levels of bodyroll.
