The CLS felt a ton heavier, in every respect. I called it "tank" because it was one solid car. Feel how heavy the doors are? The torque was absolutely addicting, simply incredible. Nice solid highway cruiser, and had the "looks"

The C is a lot lighter and feels even lighter than it is. Handling, feel and tightness is incredible. Suspension is nearly perfect in every regard, firm but yet still pretty compliant. Seats are snug, but not uncomfortable. Interior room is surprising, especially in the back seat. Engine torque is plentiful, but smooth right up until redline. The transmission is a huge improvement over the 5speed in the CLS.

I'm coming from an RS4 and the CLS was just too much of a change. The C63 on the other hand is a great stepping stone from the RS4. I really quite love it! The only thing I'm worried about is winter. Luckily the new S4 should be out by then, and may make the perfect stable mate for the C63. SebringSilver's had the right idea all along!

Now I'm in a new predicament: I'm trying to find something that would be a complement to the C63 and the S4. I'm keen on getting a 2-door coupe of some kind, but not sure what would be suitable. If I do get a 2-door, maybe I can trade the S4 in for an SUV of some kind.

Q5 is phenomenal. Trade the S4 in for a Q5 and then look for a used cayman S.

Welcome to the thread. You can send me an email to sebringsilver@gmail.com to receive updates on upcoming events in the Greater Vancouver area. Or send a PM to B.E.R.U.A.N.G, whose also a C63 owner in the Seattle area if you'd like to meet up with other AMG enthusiasts in Washington State.

Nikki, it sounds like you're parting out your car. Are you getting something new?

No, no, I was referring to Gordon, who is now driving a C63 and not the SLK55 anymore.

Oh, I wasn't aware that your car had already arrived. How are you liking it? I can't wait to see all your new purchases when they are here. It'll be an excellent photoshoot.

Has anyone heard Jeffield's newly-installed custom-built exhaust yet? (Besides Jeffield, that is.)
