Buying CLS 63 AMG

Hello to everyone. I want to buy Mercedes CLS 63 AMG w218 Rear wheels drive, but I wonder if it is road steady during rain or snow conditions. Is there any improvements since the w219? Where I live it is snowing very rare most of the time raining so is there any sense to buy 4matic?

I'm sure you can get by with RWD and the right tires but if I were you I'd buy the AWD, better performance/traction and ideal for rain/snow.

I have a RWD and live in Florida where I get downpours every day in the summer. It is a safe car and there are no issues but obviously you have to be very gentle with the throttle especially if you are tuned.
I love my RWD and it is addictive to get the rear end to wiggle with a push of the right foot but if you are concerned, the AWD is your answer.
