2013 C250 Sport Sedan w Sport Package Plus - First Take
OK, haven't been around much of late. But I got a new ride today.
This black C250 Sports Sedan has the some of the items that have been borrowed from the C63 and some other options:
Dinamica seat inserts
18" twin 7 spoke black rims
Flat bottom steering wheel
Red stitching, floor mat borders & seat belts
Becker Map Pilot
Keyless Go
P01
So, for the Coupe boys, you are going to love the Dinamica seats.
They are everything you are hoping they are.
Son says if he didn't know better, the rims were aftermarket.
The suspension likes the 18" rims - flat & tight.
I think the engine/transmission controllers have been tweaked for Sport Package Plus. Sport mode in the twisties gets nasty out of apexes in 2nd (i.e. lots of ESP events, but ESP does not seems as invasive as with the W203 Coupe). After doing some brake bedding, we ran a road that leads to a public boat dock my son suggested. Coming back up is where we had the nasty apexing.
Not having driven a W204 since their first year, I am impressed with the evolution of the 4 cylinder engine. Doesn't have the pull from 1500-2000 of the supercharged M111, but it gets busy over 2000 RPM.
Yes, pics are coming - just can't attach them from the iPhone.

2013 Black C250 Sport+
I thought the Sports Plus package was only available on the C250 coupe, not the C250 sedan? I was on MB USA website and on the C250 sedan, the Sport Package was availalble, not Sport Plus. Is this new? That would be cool, because I'd love to get the Sports Plus package on the C350 sedan instead of the Dynamic Handling Package. I won't get the Sports Package because that seems purely cosmetic, not functional.

It seems like all cars with Sport Plus Package should have a "Sport" badge on fenders. No badge - it is a regular cosmetic Sport Package:
Sport Package (code 956) Sedan and C350 Coupe – $2300
Sport Package (code 956) Sedan and C350 Coupe – $2300

- AMG Rear Spoiler in vehicle color
- Sport Seats in MB TEX/Dinamica with red stitching (black upholstery only)
- Door Panel, center console, gear lever, floor mats and steering wheel with red stitching
- Red seat belts (black available as no cost options)
- C-Coupe style instrument cluster
