Hey guys! I just leased a 2012 C250 coupe and will be driving it home next week! I'm so excited for it! I'm sure everyone else was as fascinated as I am. I got the Palladium silver with black interior, I was torn between tenorite grey and Palladium.
Anyway, excitement aside. Does any of you feel a huge difference between sport mode and non-sport mode? I couldn't feel any differences when I test drove it to be honest.
and also, does anyone have a link or picture to the C250 coupe maintenance schedule?

oh yeah, it's definitely noticeable. The acceleration is very different due to the higher RPM shifts. I always drive in sport mode.

I can send you some pics of the maintenance booklet via e-mail if you PM me your e-mail address. They're kinda blurry but still legible for the most part. Did you get the prepaid maintenance?

Did you feel any major differences in suspension between these 2 modes though?
Thanks for the maintenance schedule! I didn't get the prepaid maintenance, what does it include?

I think the only difference between sport mode and regular is the shift RPM... sport mode is higher

Is Sport Mode versus Regular a standard feature or do you only get the Sport from some upgrade?

There's a toggle button on all models next to the shifter knob. It's always in E (economy) mode unless you toggle it after starting the car

Yeah, all C204 coupes (at least to my knowledge) come with the E and S modes. However, there is an additional package (think called Advanced Agility Control - or something to that tune) which gives different suspension and a separate sport button. This will change suspension, steering, as well as shift points further to really give a different dynamic to the ride. The current sport button changes shifting and ECU maping functions, but suspension and steering remain unchanged.

The Advanced Agility package changes the "E-S" button to "M" and the sport button to sharpen the handling moves next to the driver's heated seat button.
