2013-2014 CLS63 Questions
Hello all,
I'm a current owner of a W204 C63 (2013 with all the bells and whistles, including the performance pack and LSD). Thinking of switching up to a 2013 or 2014 CLS63. I know that the 2014s have the AWD system standard. Anyone have any comments on what I may like or dislike about this switch (power, handling, comfort, suspension, maintenance costs, etc.)? Any comments on 2013 vs 2014 CLS63? Any information is appreciated, I love to learn.
Thanks in advance!

Starting to do research on the C218 chassis (myself) and it seem like the 63 drivetrain (5.5) is pretty indestructible. The interior quality is a step above the W204 and welcomes many aftermarket parts. (Large OEM+ touchscreen implementation etc). The Cls63 uses an adjustable air suspension which seems to hold a nice balance between comfort and handling. Depending on how much power you'd like to push should decide whether or not you want the 13' or 14'. Due to the 14 being AWD, the transfer case slightly limits power output. That being said, the launch control on the 14 is quite amazing.
Hope this helps.
