Having second thoughts about C63
Final decison is better made after seeing in person and test drive but things that worrying are
1) Harsh ride as reported in various reviews
2) Over agressive traction control , sport mode may help
3) Poor MpG
4) handling improved but I guess not all that good compared to first drives of C63 or when compared to M3
5) The seats which are from CLK63 seem very confining in the shoulder area, triedd the cLk black seats and they can be too tight a fit in the shoulder area

This past weekend there was a CLK meet in Yokohama Japan. One Japanese guy who had a CLK 55 got the new GTR and he took me for a spin. I was looking at the C63 which cost 100K here in Japan until I rode in the GTR. I was going to buy the C63 at the end of this year after I paid off this 20K Loan.
For 80K here is what you get:
0-60mph: 3.5sec
Top Speed: 193mph
¼ Mile: 11.7sec
Lateral G force: 0.99
BTW: The Japanese Guy who traded in his CLK 55 was considering either the M3 or the GTR. He says he is happy he went with the GTR over the M3.
