Thanks for the replies all, the car is wonderful and is definately worth it for anyone that is awaiting the model!
I am 6"1 and average weight, and I did notice that if I was a few inches taller and a bit heavier I might be uncomfortable in the seats..that is the only "dislike" that I have noticed (which does not really matter to me, but might be an issue to a bigger guy)..and the fact that the power of this car has gotten me in trouble already (speeding ticket)..its so tempting

Hey FAMILYMAN !!
Trust me ...I still think about my Carrera time to time.
It was unique, fun and certainly had character.
At the time I fekt like I had to sell it to get $$$ and put towards a house purchase. Now that my mortgage is more manageable...I sometimes wish I still have my Carrera for weekend fun.
Hey yours look pretty darn attractive...let me borrow it sometimes...

the new C class, is a bit more roomier than the last model
its not tooo far off in size from the E class
(except for the back seats ofcourse)
im 6'6'' and 225........and all thought the C is a little tight, its not unbearable
if i can manage, youre 185lb frame will do just fine

after cleaning them, apply some chrome polish which should help going forward - cleaning would be much easier. then basically you have to wipe them down every week depending on how often you drive.

I'm 6'5" 235, and I took two extended test drives in a C63. It is tight, but not uncomfortable, though I would not take a C63 on a long road trip as I could see it becoming uncomfortable for extended periods of time. It's an AMG, and IMO the seats should be tight just like they are.

Super size me
AT 6'3" and near 225 wearing a 48 size jacket, I find the seats to be very comfortable for hours at a time.
I do relax the bolstering when I'm on the freeway, otherwise it is sinched down and I am locked into pure bliss.
I even went so far as to sit in all of the current offerings and this suited me the best.

nice to see you guys at 6'3''-6'5'' all have NO complaints
i sat in the m3 coupe and converty, and the car was just too small
the C63 is small, but im willing to cope
the M3 was so small, that even if i WAS willing to cope, it would be impossible!
the C63 is waaaaay rommier inside
alltho ive never driven the C, ive sat in it like 5 times....it was good...dont know about sitting in it for hours on end tho....should be good still
i spent the last 4 days driving around brooklyn in a red F430......surely thats waaaaay more tight than the C63

almost every AMG ive seen, has the bottom of the exhaudst tips turn black
i doubt regular car washes or wipe downs help too much

The advice given is good. When clean you just use a good metal polish and then provides a somwhat protective coating that makes them far easier to clean off when you wash the car. I use Meguires and apply it to my wheels too for the same reason. I think many drivers simply don't bother to truly detail their cars.

Around my parts it seems like only the American Car dealerships are the ones who pull that ****...Japanese and European dealers dont do this (again...around my parts)

It actually pisses me off when they go and put dealer decal on my car...I mean.. is it not good enough I went and bought a $65,000.00 piece of merchandise off of you, you had to go and deface my car?
