2015 C300 sport package
RWD C300

Hi everyone. I just leased a RWD C300 sport package with premium (I love the car!) after trading in the wife's GLK350 for it. (We needed a 3 row SUV so we traded my TSX for a MDX). I have been obsessed with watching videos and reviews on our cars but have been unable to find anything with specs for the RWD 300. I wonder if it's faster, how much the official weight is etc. does anyone know if they have reviewed it anywhere yet or tested it out? Thanks!

Congrats!

We have the same car...I figured being in California we did not need the 4matic, however driving the AWD 400 is a blast compared to my 300!
Either way, the new car is really nice car...enjoy!

Same here being in Southern California I had no need for the AWD. I can't wait till they start doing comparisons between the C300 and 328i, IS250 etc. I'm such a car nut so I love all the specs and comparisons.

You can find the information on the MB website. They have the specs.

C300
We have surprisingly identical views on cars. We had a TSX which we traded for an MDX a couple of months ago because of the growing family. Our other car has always been a Merc, usually a C-Class, but our most recent Merc is SLK250. Lovely car, but way unpractical, for a family with kids, especially when the other car needs to be in the shop for servicing or detailing. I'm planning to trade it in for a C300 RWD.

2015 C300 RWD
The RWD C300 is a great version of the car if you don't live where snowfall is frequent. And even there, snow tires a good option as well.

0-60 numbers that I've seen were a half second less or so but it feels like it would be more when you drive them back to back. Mileage as noted on the MB site is a few mpg more, and in driving both, the RWD has noticeably more spunk and better balanced feel, as do most all cars with both AWD/RWD.

It's not just about the snow...
I love AWD handling, especially on slippery roads and in the rain, and probably won't buy RWD ever again, even in CA

AWD won't really help with rain or hydroplaning, that's more about the tires. But, if you feel better in any version of a car, that's what you should buy for you.
