Very nice. First time in about 1.5" of snow, straight line traction amazing, almost as though there was no snow at all. In fact the traction is so good, I have to be more cautious coming to corners and stops as it is easy to carry too much speed. Sport mode is helpful also while going down a steep hill I used the paddle to lock 1st gear and crept down the hill with total control. This car takes most of the challenge out of winter driving
Glad to hear your wonderful experience with the 4Matic. I could never live without it living in the northeast. I have had four 4Matic vehicles. (E430,C240,E350,E550) The system is advanced and does the job every time. Add a good quality set of snow tires (Nokians) and driving in the snow becomes easy. Upstate New York got hammered with snow on Tuesday and we have about 15' of snow out there. We had a Christmas party to attend Tuesday night and driving was easy in the E350. :thumbsup:
Although I am in a W211 the 4matic is great and I do run Nokians. Other than ground clearance the car is a beast in the snow. For really deep snow the ML with Nokians is absolutely a monster and makes it almost too easy to drive in the snow.
My oldest daughter just got her license and took the test in snow with the ML. The DMV tester commented on how glued to to road the ML felt with the Nokians on it.
I also live in the Northeast just outside of Saratoga Springs NY and had the pleasure of driving in the 15" of snow we recently received. It was a pleasure in the 2014 E350 Sport that I recently took delivery of in November.
Prior to this I had a 2011 ML 350 which also exceeded my expectations in the snow. Mercedes sure has it down pat with the 4 Matic.

Local member:thumbsup: I will have to keep an eye out for your 2014 E! Did you buy from keeler? What color is yours?
I am not too far from Greenfield center myself.
My E350 Sport is Polar White with Almond Beige interior. None with this color combination were available locally but the dealer was able to locate this one at the Port of Baltimore. This is the 3rd Mercedes I purchased from Keeler Mercedes.

Very nice! I am Diamond White with Almond Beige. Same color combination or very similar. Sounds like we had the same issue finding a car from Keeler. Ours came from California(Fletcher Jones Newport). Purchased 3 MB's from Keeler as well. (E430,300SD and a 600SL). We gave keeler months to find what we were looking for. A good dealer however and they treat me well every time I come in.
I will have to keep an eye out for you:thumbsup:
I frequent downtown Saratoga/Ballston Spa daily and one can usually find me running around town.:thumbsup:
