just wondering since the ccar is pretty much the same except the engine and power of the C63. right?

aranu

Answer is yes.

The C63 is not just a engine upgrade. many other parts are chaned as well. like brakes etc

joshg1001

plus you get passenger seat controls on the door panel, and electric lumbar button instead of the levers we have.

but no i wouldnt buy it because im not gonna shell out another 60k for basically the same thing.

AkaSigFreak

After driving one- absolutely NOT!
I would buy the E63. That car had amazing performance and comfort/luxury. Extremely well-balanced and fun to drive. I was extremely disappointed after driving the C63.

If I had a ton of money i'd have a C-Class 4matic and also get a C63 as a leisure car simply because I could and because its one of my all-time favorite cars, but if I had to choose between all of em with a set amount of money I wouldn't opt for the AMG. Definitely need that all-wheel drive.

TB5...

what it comes down to with me... is are there better cars for the same amount$ as a C63... my answer is yes... yes there are.

so nah i wouldn't spend so much on the amg version on the C.

Looking at it from the other side..

I test drove the 2009 C300 4matic and was not impressed. I do not know about the C350 but I am pretty sure I would not have the C if it was not for the insanity of the 6.2L V8 and 451hp (and being cheaper than the M3)

aranu

We dont have levers in ours... the prem pkg doesnt use levers.

MB300AMG

Well obviously if you have a 6.2L V8 putting out that much power you aren't going to be impressed by a 230hp V6 with all-wheel drive. For those of us who aren't fortunate enough to be able to afford such an insane beast though, that's good enough

kevinwithdabenz

yeah its something i been considering since i have about 2 years left on my lease if i get to keep my car that is. but yeah i was looking at an Audi S5 which is around the same price but not as face but i think looks better. but yeah. thanks for everyones opinion!

micropower99

I wouldn't. For me, If I'm going to change cars then it would have to be a completely different car. Otherwise what's the point in having another car that most people won't be able to tell apart from your old one? (Unless you kept your C Class bone stock with no mods)

aranu

2 years to go and your already thinking of upgrading to a another car? enjoy what you have man, specially since you may lose it haha.

The v8 is awesome to drive, im happy i got to try it out. If you dont know whatit feels/sounds like, go watcha clip of top gear in which the rip a c63 around the track, in two episodes. One of thier favorite cars apparently, and anything they like is always good.

MB300AMG

Very true. I like the ride by the way Aranu, looks very clean.

I was wondering since you have the C230, that's the 2.5L 201HP V6 right? How does it feel power-wise? I drove a w203 C230 for a while and the engine seemed peppy in that model, but i'm not sure how it performs in this new model so that's why i'm asking.

kevinwithdabenz

no yeah i know i am going to enjoy but with the possibility of losing my car i was looking at other options lol.

aranu

When I bought my Car I was in a hurry, and since I'm still only a student, financially it would have been better to purchase the 2.5L compared to higher models [although now, with lease/finance rate so low, if I had waited 6 months I could have easily afford it. but who could wait for a benz! plus they gave me a sick deal so It came to about the same..] I test drove the higher models, the engine sounds the same to me when I high rev, and when I put the pedal to the floor, it initially feels the same as well with the kickback, but not much longer after as it reaches higher revs it starts to make a difference. However I blaze around the streets in my w204 and the engine is quite peppy enough for me, def not the fastest, but it sure gives a good feeling. Raced a few cars off the line and haven't lost yet

Although I kinda wish I had the C230 coupe engine, the one with the supercharger. although my cars engine sounds like music in comparison.

2tonOfun

Hell yes!
I love the little C car but it's kind of a dog. An extra couple hundred horse power would make me love it even more!

MB300AMG

Oh I get ya. I'm a student too and I currently have a C300. It certainly feels powerful enough for me even though i've driven more powerful cars. I think the transmission definitely does an excellent job or getting the most out of the engine (next to a manual that is).

If you are talking about the C230 Kompressor engine, that's a 1.8Liter that puts out about 186hp from what I recall since when I was looking at the previous generation the sales lady was suggesting it, but I ruled it out after seeing the power difference. I could be wrong though...

aranu

On paper the engine has less HP, but its equipped with a supercharger.. the kompressor version anways... and that supercharger packs a punch!

len56

get everyones attention in that thing

but, I like to try new things so I'd go with an E if i was upgrading

unless, I become VERY rich, and buy all the cars i want at the same time :P

HBC350

In a heartbeat. The C63 is my next car. In late 2010 I'll (hopefully) get me a cream-puff CPO for about $35K+/-.

RedG

I would trade the C300 in on the C63.

tanktube67

They look a like but the C63 it's a total deferent animal it's a beast, I try to trade my C350 last year but I was not willing to lose 13K

AntsE63S

right now i have a starter car which is the c300 4matic. in another year or 2 i will be getting the c63 or the new e class coupe..

Exia

True... even if i am not upgrading i would still love to move across brands/models just to get different feels.

Planning two years ahead isn't bad.. i am already thinking of what to replace after my C is done its 3 year lease.. but I have not even picked up the car yet LOL

Aachen1989

yes, for sure.. C63 is a beast, a different animal comparing with either C300/350..
It is an AMG..
