Found 1991 300E with 4matic.

Are there "real" benefits to driving a 4matic?

Are they more prone to malfunction?

In short, all things being equal - is a 4matic better?
Stay away from first generation 4Matic. Very prone to trouble, very expensive to fix. Second generation 4Matic (from 99 onwards in the E) is simple, reliable and definitely adds to the safety in snow or rain.
