Which is a better driver's car, the C36 or C43? Specifically, I don't care much about top end (it doesn't take any skill to mash on the gas pedal), but I do love to toss a car around in the twisties. I also love to change gears and I prefer to do it with an auto-stick. I also love the feeling of decelerating.

Thanks

I don'T own any of those, but after loads of reading I'd say this:

C43 is more powerful,
C36 is more refined, has many more race derivated parts

in the end, I think the 6 cylinder C36 would give a better driving feeling than the big V8

Of the two cars the best may have to be the C43 as it weighs less and the weight in the front is some 150 lbs less due to the aluminum block on the C43.

My old 1999, C280 V6 was better at getting around corners that the C43 I own and if the C230K has an even lighter engine it could bethe sleeper in the twistys.
