Reviews of the S Cabriolet

While I'm waiting for my custom S63 Cabriolet to go through the Panama Canal on its way to me, I browsed through a bunch of reviews of the car, and am including them below for your perusal. Not a bad one in the bunch.

Thanks, jbattan

Great collection of reviews. I had seen about half of them before, but others I might never have seen but for your post. I'm glad that the reviews are mostly positive, as I've already taken the plunge.

But on the other hand, let's be realistic: there is no rational reason for the purchase of an S63 Cabriolet. Fortunately, rationality has never been a constraint for me.

This is arguably the most special MB in production today.

Nice overview, reviewed majority of them in the pre-decision phase the last few months. Interesting to see some of the video's are from overhere (Holland ).

A typical German video is this one:


Aways extensive and funny video's from 5.6

BTW, newly registered on this forum: first time (and proud) Mercedes AMG owner (AMG S63 cabrio, Black with will post pics later).

Hawki,

You're the owner of a superb car and rightfully proud of owning it. Every time I think of the enormous effort it takes to design and build these cars, I'm simply blown away.

Sometimes it seems that getting anything worthwhile done is harder than it ought to be. Then I think of the people who made this car, how hard they had to work to make it happen, and I just get on with it after a quick internal rebuke.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for my coupe but I think I understand how you feel. Can't wait to see your pictures.

Enjoy it!

Thx, and indeed I am impressed by the build quality and high tech on board, here some pics and introduction: https://mbworld.org/forums/s63-amg-4...r-holland.html

What color / spec your Coupe will be? Enjoy the waiting!
