C300 Non-4MATIC owners in Canada - Opinions needed
Hi guys,
I'm contemplating the purchase of a W204 but am thinking about a C300 non-4MATIC for the Sport package (Advanced Agility, etc). How do you non-4MATIC owners fare in snow? I know it's not as good as the 4MATIC but I've had RWD & FWD cars before and have not had any problems.
Any insights?
BTW, I testdrove a C230W4M and a C300W4M, man is that 2.5L slow or what... a bit disappointed because it could have been a good deal.

After all, it mustn't be that different from the W203 which is just fine... for some reason the salesman told me that they never ordered any RWD cars anymore because the new platform (W204) was not good in the snow in RWD! What a load of...
