Hello, new member.

Hi, I am thinking about getting a c63. I have not test drove it but do you think the seats would be uncomfortable for me? I wear like a 46/48 in jackets. Thanks.

c63 amg
i have a bad back needing surgery which i am avoiding; i traded in my 911 c4 cab for this beast; the seats are a lot better and very comfortable imo coming from a 911; the car is super fast; it does drink gas like water; go test drive one and compare it to the m3, isf; no comparison imo

I am nuts about the new M3 and the C63 AMG. I couldn't pick one. I got a Interlagos Blue 08 M3 Coupe with DCT for 6K off sticker just after Xmas. (0.9% for 60 months). That plus the 4 year maintenance did it for me. I still am nuts over the C63 too. If the MB dealer here would have matched the price I would have go the C63 but they didn't so I didn't LOL. I was also considering the SRT Challenger until I drove it. And the Dodge dealers were asking 50K for it so screw that. I want to meet some guys that have C63's too. I like the ISF a lot too but it is a notch below the C63 and the M3 IMO. You can't go wrong with the C63 it is a sweet ride.

Hey thanks guys, appreciate the info. Now I have to go find a car. I probably can't afford a new one so I am looking for a used one. Is there any difference between 08 and 09 except the mirrors?

Before everyone starts telling you the differences, you should tell us where you live. So the right guys can give you the right answer for cars in your country.

The seats are suppose to be tight and hold you. Its a high performance sports car, not a Cadillac. Look at a E63 AMG if you want more room.

That would've been my combo if I went with the M3, and sounds like you got a good deal! Where are you located?

I dont think I want the performance package because I probably wont spend any time on the track with it. It will be my daily driver. Would it be a rough ride here on the harsh roads of kentucky (more than normal random potholes and alot of bumps on the highway) with the performance package?
