Took my 3 & 5 year olds for a ride this weekend.

They were giggling and screaming every time I stepped on the gas. It was hilarious just listening to them. My favorite quote was when I asked my 5 year old why he liked riding in "the gray car" (vs "the red car" which is our GMC Yukon) and he said, "It's fast and it makes people shake!" Couldn't have come up with a better synopsis if I tried.

Nice. Leave it to a child to speak the simplest, honest truth.

My 4 yr old boy has a smile cheek to cheek (as his daddy has) when I just drive down the street : > )))
As the saying goes " When you turn ur car on, does it return the favor?" The overwhelmingly Answer is "YES"
To all Happy New year! and most of all, drive safely!

My boys (7 and 5) love riding in fast cars, and they really enjoy the C63.

How do just born~2 year-old babies respond to the C63 in the back? I just wondering whether the C63 with a baby seat in the rear is OK. Any advice?

I'm worried about the rear seat comfort/suspension + exhaust sound @ engine start... I do have a back-up plan for a 2nd car. I just hope that I don't have to trade-it off for something else.

With proper grammar as well.

Bigwheeler, I once purchased a sport suspension for a previous car and the box warned that the stiff ride could have a negative impact on small spines.

Great story. I remember reading an article with eerily similar description (almost exact line) of the authors kids reacting to C63 from one of the european mags. Interesting how they react to good things.

My 2 year old loves the c 63.

Every time I take her in the c 63 she says "I wanna go fast" and she wont stop until the car jerks us back from accelerating. Its so funny because in my other cars she just looks out the window.

Thank lord that it's not the brain! Thanks for the info... guess I'll have to fit some ultra spongy tire @ the rear + downsize to 18" with 40-45 series profile until she/he turns 2.
