I would love to have a limp mode that I could put the car in if I have to valet it or leave it with someone (i.e. tint shop) that does not allow it to get over 30 mph or 3000 RPM. I cring at the thought of someone having free access to MY power.....

One of my training partners is 6'1" 265lbs and is also the sales manager at the dealer where I got my C63. Watching him sit in my car is ****ing hilarious.

i don't like about my C63 that I haven't ordered it yet... plus I am not sure if I can afford it in the nearer future (next 12 month or something like that)...
but I'll do what I can do to get my numbers ready

C63 amg '08, ML 500 '03
I hope you guys read his review. It's a good one but what he said about things he dislike ...
Awful cruise control and turn-signal levers. "I think It's just Perfect!"
Hard-to-buckle drivers'seat belt. "His arm is too short or he'll ask for belt feeder arm...."
Poor-quality hardware inside for a car of this class. "I'd say just too many Hard plastic parts not a soft touch like IS -f"
Floating-needle speedometer more difficult to read quickly than straight-needle type. "really ,how did I NEVER notice this??? "
Torque curve powerful but a little peaky.
Overly noisy exhaust.
Extra-sharp side bolstering on sport seats marginal for wide torsos.
Tight rear seat leg and headroom. "Did he ..... IS-f yet?? "
Stereo sound OK but not quite up to the competition. "not quite up to the competition???"
Overly complex stereo/NAV screen controls.
Cheesy-looking, cheap-plastic pop-up video screen for NAV/stereo.
4-matic AWD system from C300 not avialable on C63.
Too tight and cluttered under the hood.
Low ground clearance.
Somewhat loose and wobbly-feeling climate-control dials.
Temporary spare tire and wheel (yes, in a $66,000 car).
Shift lever has annoying ziz-zag pattern.
Restrictions on color/trim patterns. "We have 4 trims to choose from but just one for the IS-f"
OK paint job for the price, but not the best.
Overly-dull paint colors (with one exception).
Metallic paint colors extra cost.
Below-average reliability hisory, but appears to be improving.
Poor gas mileage, gas-guzzler tax, and premium-only fuel. "It's a performance car!!!"
Expensive lease rates." Agree! "
4/50 bumper-to-bumper warranty not up to those of Japanese or American luxury cars

Shoulders are the weakest joint in the body, it's just so easy to hurt them. I've battled a few cases of deltoid tendonitis throughout the years myself.

Steel Gray 09' C63 AMG
1. Needs better cooling (oil and water for hard driving / track days)
2. Larger fuel tank
3. More standard gauges (oil pressure, volt / amp, excreta.)
4. Wider tires (in the rear minimum)
5. Be able to check air pressure (on the fly) on a specific tire like Porsche.
6. Program phone and Navigation functions wile in motion.
Over all I am enjoying the car.

I only have a few complaints. Nothing major other then the AC unit is annoying:
* The AC unit doesn't work as well and is a lot louder then my old C32
* Would rather of had a USB interface then the IPOD or PMCIA card
* The Music Register and PMCIA interfaces do not support lossless WMA
* This is not a C63 issue but the Sirius sound quality Seriously sucks
* The engine runs very, very hot
* The ability to see the tire pressure for each tire would have been nice
Overall I still can't get over how much better I like the C63 then my old C32.

Improvements needed
Here's my list of gripes on the UK spec model;
1/ Keyless Go
2/Air Suspension Option
3/Rear Arches needs to be wider[Keeps catching all the muck & chips wheels]
4/Fatter Rear Tyres
5/Larger Fuel Tank
6/DAB Radio Sucks!! [No - Signal]
7/Engine oil useage[1000mls 2ltrs] Complete oil change at 1500mls , then have to top agin at 4500mls 2lts ,suppose normal useage.
Other than these options happy enough 5000mls done
