Thinking about a 2012 C300 or evo for the winter. S32 a reason to jump on it?

Hello, haven't post since I sold my CLK. My TTRS seems too low to the ground for the winter and my dealer is offering me a 2012 C300 with options of my choice and sugguest for me to do it with the S32 (launch package). Which seems like a good deal to jump on.

I've also looked at the Mitsubishi Evo X which is a tad cheaper but the interior looks like garbage. I always like the evo's but i guess i forgotten how bad the NVH and quality feel is since i had one 6 years ago and i think i'm ruined by the audi. Getting the evo would feel like a stripped version of the TTRS thus i'm thinking twice about it now.

For the C300 i'm thinking blk/blk or silver/blk or Pallidum/blk

I've got palladium/black with tinted windows. Looks pretty sharp to my eye. I think the Palladium has more depth than the silver.
Wad.

Both serves different market but both are capable winter car. Do you want a nimble and powerful car but rough and so-so interior then get the EVO. I was looking into an EVO a month ago but decided to go with the C300 4matic. I think my wife will not be able to tolerate the roughness of it.

Just so you know (I assume you do but you didnt mention) all C300 for 2012 are 4matic which since its a winter car should be great. I have Pal silver to and I love it, its grey without being called grey!

just picked up a '12 300 4matic luxury with the s32 package. had a c350 sport and hated it on rough san fran roads. white/almond. $39k with leather.

only thing i miss is the ground effects. wondering if the +30hp ecu flash from rentech is worth it
