I also believe 2000 was the first year that ESP was standard in the
210.1999
A non-ESP 210, even 4Matic, is tail-happy when you hit the throttle in
the snow.
I used to practice powersliding my 1999 wagon in a parking lot in early
snows every year.
I could usually catch the slide without lifting off the gas on the first
attempt without overcorrecting by more than a foot, but after the first
time each year I was pretty good at not losing the rear end in the first
place and never overcorrected again.

BTW, even though 11'8" is now 12'4", they're still hitting it.
