How fast going 0-60mph is 2005 C320 4MATIC? I drove one today for the first time and it is way way faster then my C280. Im guessing like 6.0 maybe?

 

This site http://www.forbes.com/2000/10/23/1023benz.html says 6.9 seconds, but it makes no mention of the 4Matic. I too have a 2005 C320 4Matic and I am sure that it is slower with this option. I purchased a C320 last year after a series of C model cars going back to 1975, and one 300SD which I loved. All the C cars I owned were of the 230 variety and I must confess that I just love the 320, I have a forty minute commute around the Washington DC beltway and this car makes it a joy. The engine just hauls it along and I arrive as fresh as a daisy! It is quiet and peaceful, comfortable and responsive; I have always felt safe in Mercedes and this car goes the extra step.

We also have a mini which we both adore, and perhaps it makes more sense as the commute car, it being cheaper to run; but it is a much rougher ride and I confess the C320 just leaves me so much more refreshed that the extra cost is well worth it.

"I too have a 2005 C320 4Matic and I am sure that it is slower with this option" It may feel slower but in reality it isnt becasue its AWD. At least thats what my friend says who has a C240 4Matic and when looking for a C Class he looked at a C240 and C240 4 Matic and he says the AWD makes some acceleration difference.
