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.....

 

Now this is an interesting idea!!!

 

I can only think of one thing so far....not having one

 

Folding mirrors are standard for the Canadian version C63 and "keyless go" is an option included with the Premium Package. Why would some one @ MBUSA delete these items ???

 

What about the 4doors and styling?

 

More gear and tire, less detuning, and I don't fit in the seats; they need to be wider.

 

lose some weight fatty

 

5'10" 207lbs, ~9% BF right now. Competetive powerlifter for the past 15 years. 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.

 

you bought the wrong car.......lol

u shud be in G Wagon!

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

 

more reasons to buy a maybach

 

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

LOL, nice cars but I wanted a gazelle (so to speak) instead of an elephant. I think this rules out the DTM seat upgrade though.

 

LOL.

 

The TQ curve is pretty flat even stock, after a tune I'm not sure you could ask for anything better (large bore 4Vs rule with linear pull):

 

I have a few years as well,at 5'11'' my max weight was 230 and my record bench press was 160 kilo's at a German gym but screwed my shoulder up doing it...

 

Cool. Did you wear a shirt or not?

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.

 

wow... big guy.... i am 5'2 with 105lbs (my peak weight)... i think u can squeeze me with a finger...

i think i can bench press 5 kilo max...

 

i am 6'1 230 and i fit fine when i test drove the C63....

 

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.

 

...fact that I dont have one.. .. ..

 

the rear a/c on mine doesn't blow a cold breeze =(

and also the car is a bit on the heavy side

 

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
