Big dump of snow...ESP is great!
Had a big dump of snow in Vancouver (that's Canada eh!) today and couldn't resist to take the car for a spin in the white stuff. ESP and ASR worked like a charm even with the stock Goodyear Eagle RSA all season tires. Tried taking the corners very fast and felt in total control with just a hint of the tail giving out. ESP light blinking all the way home! Slight hesitatation going up the garage (steep incline and unshoveled snow) but for a rear wheel drive, I am impressed! Guess that's where the 4matic would come handy!
Going to try out my sister's ML320 later today if the snow keeps coming down!

I'm impressed to!
We have been having snow here in Stockholm (that's Sweden, eh! 
) for the past two and a half months. I'm very pleased with how the C handles in these conditions. I expected it to be real lousy on snow and ice, but fortunately, I was all wrong. I'm also very pleased with how smooth the ESP engages. As a matter of fact, I'm pleased with just about everything!

2002 C230 coupe
My brother bought a snow blower some years back on an end of season close out. After buying it, it was three years before there was a snow deep enough where he could use it. He might not agree but, I think it was the best money he ever spent being that I didn't have to spend my money for a blower or do much shoveling.
