C450 is a more tuned version of the C400

RWD vs AWD is always up to debate. More fun is relative. Put me in a C300 and I'll have fun.

2014 E63S; AMS 100 octane ECU dyno tune; EDOK TCU tune; BB intakes; sprintbooster
C450 engine = c400 engine with amg tune
C450:
Awd is amg
Brakes are amg
Suspension is amg
Essentially looks like c400
Awd more practical in winter
Amg tuned exhaust
C63 rwd more fun to drive because it takes more driver input and correction to navigate the car through turns with all that power

Agree with the rest .
It's really nothing like a C400. Even the trans is tuned .

I would have gotten the C400 had MB allows for more flexible options. I didn't want the Sport or leather package and it has limited interior color & wood options. The C300's nice performing 4 turbo also a contributing factor since this is my first ever 4 cylinder auto. A good thing for me with the quick change over to C450 because I could well be an unhappy C400 owner.

I purchased my C400 with the intention of keeping it for several years so I am not overly concerned with the trade in value in the future. I love the refined luxury and sportiness of the model with its effortless power delivery. I am not at all put off by the transition to the C450 AMG. I'm sure it will be a great car thereby adding to the overall reputation of the entire C class line.
