Logical Interpretation:

+2.00 Degrees for 100% city driving
+3.75 Degrees for 50% city and 50% highway
+5.50 Degrees for 100% highway driving

Not +3.75 for all !!!

For those who have not had this first hand experience, too little caster creates a dead "do nothing" zone between left and right. The driver has the impression that the steering box needs to be tightened up.

My negatives about class a's. No spare tire, No air bags and only one door!

Thanks for all of the great comments. Interesting how some people like the driveability of the C class better and some like the A class better. Just depends on what you are the most comfortable with I'd say.
