2003 c240 4matic

Anyone own one of these? I am going to purchase one with the new launch package (heated seats and sunroof minus rear sunshade). Costs around $34K in NYC area. Is there anything that I should know before buying a first year C class 4 matic? I know that they have great cornering and traction, but I've read alot of mixed reviews on this. Any help/insight would be appreciated.

thanks.
