Factory ordered 2012 MB C350 w/Dynamic Handling Package
Guess I'm still in the honeymoon period. I have a 2012 C350 that I custom ordered and currently have 10.5k on the odometer. Without a doubt I can say it is better than my previous car (Acura TL-S) in every way: in luxury, technology, power, handling and fuel efficiency. I can honestly say I am glad my wife talked me into upgrading to the C350 instead of my original purchase plan of a Infiniti G37.
My only major complaint so far is the location of the windshield wiper selector switch. I find it moronic that while in motion, you can't see the setting of the switch unless you are turning the steering wheel (because of the 9 o-clock buttons/paddle shifter). This is the only thing I am jealous about the 2013 model, where MB finally decided to make the turn signal stalk closer to the 10 o clock position allowing you to see the wiper selector with the wheel straight.

Did you have huge rims on the E90? The rims you have on your C300 are not helping the ride complaints you have.
I don't have to floor the throttle for a downshift in my 2011. It is less responsive than in S mode, but no need to floor it. If you are yo-yo'ing the gas pedal at any point you're defeating yourself. The 7G does not like this at all.

The C300 is rated for more power and torque than the E90 325i. I understand with 4MATIC there is drivetrain power loss, but this significant? unheard of. This is after a tune, mind you.
