Its more then 9 hours lol. Just to kelowna is 9-10 hours.

Nah your car will probably explode. It definitely can't handle that.

hahah of course it will be fine. I'd take the jasper route and get a radar detector. I do that drive a few times a summer and the crows nest pass has too much traffic and construction.

I don't know if you are serious. You can't be serious right? any new car in the market will do a 1165km trip, in fact any car could do 5000 km or 6000km or more with the right oil. Off course the C63 will do a 1165 km fine, I have done longer trips already (1400km from Tucson, AZ to San Antonio TX) and back.

Worry about you and the road. As long as the car has a fresh oil change and the roads are good and you get some good rest you should be OK.

For best mileage, put it in Manual mode and cruise at 7th gear all the way. You'll be amazed at how good the cruising range really is with this car, given its performance.

Hell yeah! I don't need a cover for my car haha, I always garage it and daily drive so it will be useless against bad weather and dust at the same time, but thanks for the offer.

When are you planning on coming here next?

Why not leave it on C mode. The C mode is smarter and always more eficcient than the human. The M mode would be my last choice.

C mode is more efficient in town b/c it starts in 2nd. On the highway, the auto modes will constantly shift down and back up when you ask for a little acceleration. In manual, it stays in 7th unless you slow way down and begin to bog the engine (like when exiting a highway).
