Welcome....the C55 is an awesome car. I have had mine for about a week and am loving every minute of it. Can't wait for the spring/summer when the conditions are more suited to it.

I got mine for 6 months.
Nothing major to complain about.

THE PLUS IS: The C55 look like a normal car and you can even drive it like a normal car, but it isn't really one , if you get what I mean

NOT A COMPLAINT BUT IS A FACT: The C55 AMG suspension is very hard and not really comfortable for 90% of the roads in my city as we have very crab roads caused by heavy trucks, double-deck buses.

If you are not in a hurry for an AMG. Wait 2 years for the C60 AMG with 6 litre engine 420hp. Or if you are after the chicks, get the CLK55 Cab :p
If you must have the C now for its supurb handling, get the 2005 C350 that gives you the 7G and over 270hp already, which beats the new BMW330i a mile

A week ! Congrats ! You need the dry weather indeed.

luxury and power! love it...but want more!!

okay dont flame me for this but i have to say i've been looking into m3 , s4 ,cts-v , and c55.

i had a 2002 m3 for about 2 months and i really liked it. i test drove the audi s4 and Did not like the bouncy suspension.(not for me..) didnt have a chance to test drove a cts-v but looked at it and new it was a Gm car...(not my tast)

some one told me the benz suspension was really crapy but when i test drove the new c55 i was ShockEd!! the suspension was really tight!! cant really see a big difference between the M3.

my first choice was M3, but after i test drove the c55, i think im going more towards the c55.

just want to know wat i can do to the car for more power.


p.s how is the benz navigation? is it use full or no need??

thanx guys!!

Navigation is a plus. U'd be ok without it tho, but im loving it.
It helped me to get to the highway when I was lost in some unfamiliar town. The voice activation system is also awesome, you could just say "CD track 5" or "Call home" without touching your cell phone.
