What's the Diff between new 4 matic and on my 2002 C240

I'm seeing all these 2003 C-class with 4 matic on the back. What is the difference between that and what's in my 2002 C240? I also, have the S and W mode next to my "4 matic". Thanks

Mag,

The 4matic you see is the all-wheel drive version of the C-class. IT is about an $1800 upgrade.

The S and W mode should have been explained by your salesperson (I hate when delaers dont take time to go through the car)

S- Summer or Standard Driving
W- Winter mode (changeds gear ratio slightly to allow beeter traction in the slippery conditions).

Any other questions, feel free to ask

Thanks! I guess C-class is doing the same thing the X-type did.
