Right, bought an ML350 BlueTECH earlier this week - 63 plate with 8,000 miles off a main dealer.

Lovely car, great engine and all seemed well but took the family out today in it for the first time and some of the roads were twisty B roads - big mistake.

Within 10 minutes everyone was complaining about how it went round corners even at pretty low speeds.

I didn't notice this on the brief test ride but these were on A roads with few tight turns - so yes my fault really.

It doesn't have any adjustable suspension and the car is still under warranty but is there anything that I can do to improve the ride please?

Mine on 20s.

Apart from the cornering, it's brilliant...

I'm sure you're right but is there any easy fix to reduce the roll effect?

Next thing I've found is to go slow into a corner and throttle through it, the car doesn't really roll at all then, only problem is that passengers need to be happy with this driving method and very tight corners are still an issue.
I do that with my Harley, so will give it a go...

I have noticed a clunking sound at the back of the car and when driving over small potholes or even the cats eyes in the middle of the road, so I'm going to get it checked out.

Somehow, it just doesn't feel right on cornering either.
