C230 or C280??

I am looking at the 2007 C230 sport sedan and the 2007 C280 4Matic. I would like some feedback to help me decide which one to purchase. I like the look of the 230, but I like the all wheel drive feature of the 280. I am leaning more towards the 4Matic, and putting new wheels and tires on it. Please let me know of any positive or negative experience you have had with either. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!

07 c280 Avantgarde 4matic
i'v got the 280 4matic because of where i live and how the winter is here and it has more power... from wat i heard, u can't put staggered wheels on 4matic. i don't think i would trade it in for a 230 sport

a quarter mile at a time
C230 Sport and C280 4-Matics are two very different cars. If you want a true sports sedan, you should get the C230. Although it has less power, it has significantly lower ride height, larger brakes, larger and staggered wheels, larger sway bars, and don't forget the AMG bodywork (among other things).

If you live in an area that will possibly have snow and don't have a second car, you should probably get the 4-Matic.

to add, I just want to say that pick whatever you like based on options and preference.

now i know what's the difference between c230 and c280 (thank to him). yeah well, if you are a so called sport guy go for c230, or if you want to get a good relationship with snow go for c280 4-matics (those are all time 4 wheels drive).
