Suspension height

Croeso, RDP 
As I understand it from what others have said, both the standard and AMG line cars have the same suspension this year, which is higher than the standard 2014 suspension, and higher still than the lower 2014 AMG line suspension (as fitted to my car). The 2015 suspension gives you greater ground clearance for those Welsh mountain roads, but slightly more roll during cornering (but not too much, apparently).

Thanks Roytheboy
I can't wait for delivery. I have ordered a C220CDI 4matic in white, AGM line with the night pack. Its got the premium plus pack also. I travel from south to north Wales once or twice a month throughout the year, so will appreciate the 4matic in the winter. I have previously had to turn around at the Sugar Loaf mountain due to snow (driving a BMW 5 series). I was hoping the suspension would be the higher variant so pleased to hear that will be the case (hopefully). It wasn't clear from the order sheet at the dealer. Getting excited about the handover and trying out all the bells and whistles!

If you're not sure about the GLA in snow, read this > http://www.glaownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic218&OB=ASC.html#.VVza0aZtdjg Note that the suspension on my car is a lot lower than yours.
Great post, the GLA looked like it performed impressively. I must admit I didn't think it would be up to the snow covered roads you encountered. It very reassuring to see it in action. The technology from the larger 4x4 mercs really seems to have fed down. Cant wait to take mine out for a mid Wales run!
