To round things up, due to it’s enormous size, the handling of the C400 seemed dull and difficult while the C300 is swift. Irrespective of that, , it is fast, quiet and comfortable. It offers some accessories that was not found in that year’s C300, which as well offers a luxury package that a buyer cannot get in the C400.
