I usually post in the C63 forum but seeing that we just bought a '21 C43 (pick up tomorrow) I may have to start hanging out here too! This is the best way to get your fiancé to stop asking to drive your C63S
Congratulations! I personally have a c43, but test drove a c63 not too long ago. You will quickly notice they are 2 complete different vehicles. I'm really grateful MB makes the 43 as it suits me and my lifestyle better than the 63. If there was only a 63 I probably wouldn't have gotten an AMG.

I've yet to drive the C43 (I know right?) however I've had all wheel drive Audi in the past - so my thoughts are it's probably pretty similar to that - the rest is mostly the same as my 63s without the extra grunt and a few electronic features (race mode, etc) Everyone has their own sweet spot!
congrats!. one cool thing i noticed with 2021 c43's is that the 12.3 digital instrument display is now standard. anytime before that it was optional. i have a used 2020 so its quite annoying haha..

Yes indeed - I like the fact that it's basically an identical interior to my C63s -- it's surely kinda cool to have two different, but similar vehicles in the garage....and I finally drove the 43 today, it's sooo different than the 63s!
haha yep! very different. obviously the 63 is lighting quick, rwd and has a deep tone. the c43 on the other hand is awd and has a higher pitch sound which you can wring out. due to the weight and awd/rwd the steering feels different as well. the c63 feels like their is more weight in the backend.

Years ago I had 212 63 and a 212 550 at the same time.....don't know what I was thinking! The 63 was my first AMG owner experience........I traded it for a CLS and never looked back! I had the E63 206 days
Your pair look great tucked in like that

Everyone knows the CLS is a beast....well maybe not everyone - but an enthusiast would kindly move over if you were in the rear window! I think I'm going to enjoy having both cars -- today is tint day at Shade Sound & Security Wake Forest, NC Link -- the 63 is done and the 43 is being worked on - both cars got Llumar IRX 40 (which meters at 35% -- we have tint law in NC ) Attached a crappy pic!

Sounds great, and yeah, we do have tint laws....unless you're a police....they get limo tint, as well as their undercover cars.......fawkers.
I think you would also appreciate the wider stance on the C63s. Congrats on both cars either way
Thanks! Yea for sure on the stance of the 63 -- that is certainly one of the biggest and most noticeable differences between the cars visually -- need to pay extra attention when pulling in/out of the garage - even with "warn early" turned off the sensors are full blast
