How low is your W204 with AMG Package?

noodlesoup · 11-20-2008, 12:26 PM

Hi guys,

i am thinking to trade in my w203 for the w204(with AMG package)
i am just wondering if anyone would please be so kind of find out how low is the w204 with amg package without agility control on.

the decline angel down to my garage path is very great.
i am worry that it might bottom out between the front and rear wheels.

any suggestion?

Check online with edmunds, cars.com, etc. You can generally find the detailed stats for all models there. As far as approach, depart and breakover angles, I really haven't seen those for vehicles other than 4X4s. Is your local MB dealer close enough to let you test drive it to your house for a try...a really slow, careful try...

Remind me not to buy that car.

In the long run it might be cheaper to rebuild the driveway. Builders should not be allowed to do things like that. When people vote with their checkbooks, not purchasing such properties, they might get the message.

Since you already live there, and this is most likely an ongoing problem for ever and ever, look into doing a proper fix.

right now, as i drive up my garage slope, i hear a very very slight scrape sound. i have to let passengers in when im up...

this doesnt even happen in my IS300 which i assumed as a lower ground clearance.

Check again. I don't think Agility Control is available in the US.
I have the W204 Sport (AMG body kit) and I have never had a problem with rubbing.

check again ! Agility Control is STANDART for all W204 and brand new tech. that began from W204. perhaps Advanced Agility Control package could be option

Myne is 15cm to say 13cm just measured, with car parked in comfort mode. It is lower but not that low. Myne scraped once in parking lot with 4x people.
