Does 4matic not have Dynamic Handling!?
Owners of 4matic coupes, please chime in: I was looking at the Canadian brochure today and I noticed that it said under the Dynamic Handling option that it is only for RWD! Does your car have Dynamic Handling? In canada, every C350 coupe comes with this so I would be pissed if the 4matic don't have this feature any more.

Basically, do you have a setting to change the car from comfort to sport mode?
Thanks

C350 4matic Coupe
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that one way to tell (other than looking at the detailed car specs) is to see if you can change the ride from sport to comfort? Dynamic handling is supposed to change a few things in the car like the suspension to change the car from a more sporty driving car to a more comfy one depending on the setting.
Basically, do you have a setting to change the car from comfort to sport mode?

2012 350 4M
My understanding is that it does. The CDN C350 4M Coupe ships with different 'packages' as decided by MB CDA for the Canadian market place and I understand that DH is one of them.
Check the .ca site you'll notice that one of the ticked options is 'sport handling'
I pick mine up next week Saturday, Magnitite black, loaded with the 7 spoke wheels.
Cheers,

Is there a mechanical/technical reason for taking this out or does MB figure that people that like 4matic don't care about driving? With German car yearly updates there always seems to be two stops forward, one step back kinda deal.

I don't think that it would fit with 4matic... With that said, the steering is "tighter" stock on a 4matic then a RWD. I refer to the motto - "Don't knock it till you try it!"

Yeah, I am thinking of visiting my dealer tomorrow to test drive one if they have 4matic demo coupes.

I have a 4matic coupe on the way and was a little sad when i saw that the dynamic handling was N/A on it.
Been reading lots and it looks like its half half on if its good or even noticable. so ya, let me know please!

Ok, so I took a long test drive on my own today. Took twisty roads, highway, and some smaller streets/parking lots. I was a bit shocked to see that the 4matic doesn't have wheel shift paddles for changing gears?! I didn't realize that shift paddles were part of the dynamic handling package.
The really strange thing was this... normally you would expect the wheel to be stiffer at high speed and more lose at lower speed, right? However, the 4matic coupe I drove felt more lose at high speed and very stiff in the parking lot! I mentioned this to the sales person when I returned and he also found it strange. Does anybody here with a 4matic coupe experience the same thing?
