Had a C300 loaner
So, I was wondering why my loaner C300 (2021, just delivered to dealer) while my 2021 GLE 450 is in for the 3rd try at the whistling window trick has Sport + as a drive option? I did get sport+ with my RJ automotive update but do all MB's now come with Sport and Sport+ in dynamic select? I will also say that while it had the lowest option sound system, the sound dynamics might be a bit better even with a lower system due to the cabin size. Not sure and by no means critical listening since I was only using the HD radio and not satellite or my phone audio.

Most sedans have Sport+, my 2017 E300 had it, but I don't think the S class has it. I am not sure what the difference is between Sport and Sport+ and I never noticed a difference in my prior E300 between then 2 settings. My GLE 350 did not come with Sport+ but I don't mind it.
I have noticed that too with the base speakers in the C300. They do not sound bad in the sedan and coupe but I have noticed in the GLC300 they do not sound great and they are not loud enough.

I feels like the loaner car from the dealership has a different configuration than the one being sold.
I had 2 different GLC as a loaner before (both 2020) and it has standby mode (which, based on my understanding, is not available in the US market)
