before buying a CLC i tried about 10 of these cars, diesel, petrol, sport etc. and eventually went for a CLC200 Kompressor 2011 reg. which i'm delighted with. when test driving all cars had steering which pulled to left. various MB dealers said it was a known detail and was to do with "high speed" steering accuracy or some such bull...t. whatever the truth every car had this ?problem. any comments from forum or honest john.

Assuming you're in the UK, then it's probably due to the road camber.

Try taking it abroad and report back if pulls to the right.

I don't know if you have googled this but there seem to be a few threads (Mercedes based) on this elsewhere. No concensus on reason/solution but some recommend getting realignment. Others say its a charactristic.

Interesting view here that its due to our poor roads being beyond the adjustment parameters of MB -

May be worth getting realignment by MB as part of the deal but reconcile yourself to the possibility of still having some degree of pull. Or buy somethng else of course.
