Is air suspension worth the extra money?

Would the addition of the air suspension option on a new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sport give a smother ride?

Yes, but only as long as it is combined with sensible wheels and tyres: On a C-Class 16-inch with 205/60 R16 tyres.

Much improved interior quality. More refined and better to drive than predecessor. Strong 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engines on facelifted cars.
