Last week I made a big mistake in test driving a C63. Well needless to say, this weekend I ended up working out a great deal with Benz. I really dont remember being this excited about a daily driver ever. I was simply blown away. I know I might get flamed for this but I was really against ever buying another benz since they didnt do anything for me in the past but with this car, it just puts a huge smile on my face. Just a few of the highlights that made me go this route was the Power(with much more on the table with simple boltons), The sound, the seats are just amazing, the steering wheel is nice thick and very very responsive (unlike any other merc I've driven), Plenty of gadgets inside, and i think its looks absolutely mean. All that in a 4door to boot? Well that just did it for me. Oh did I mention the sound lol? Its just intoxicating going down the gears with those solid aluminum paddles. It pops and gurgles while decel, and just screams up top. I cant believe a merc sounds this damn good from the factory. I can only imagine what it will be like once I open it up a bit more down the road. I Also love the way this car handles. It just sticks, well, unless you stomp on it that is. In my opinion its the most complete package out there(at least for me) right now in terms of a nice daily. Im really finding myself taking the long way home. I just had to share since I haven't been this excited in a little while since I put cars on hold for bit so its great jumping back into this with such a car. I dont have much more to say since I have only had it for 2 days but I can do a more in depth review once I get more seat time. I have some great plans for this car but I really feel for the first time, that it wont need too much to keep me happy. I hope.

Thanks,
Anthony










I will give it a proper photo shoot once the modds go on.

The sound is truly amazing and everyone seems to agree.
last week, even a Harley guy driving his bike at the light asked me what I had under the hood after he heard it gurgle during a downshift and asked to hear more at the green light.
I much obliged.
Congrats on the purchase. Beautiful car.

Thank you! Yep, I always thought the car sounded great but now owning one myself I find myself rolling down all the windows most of the time with no audio just to hear that wonderful rumble. I just cant wait to uncork it with a set of headers X-pipe ect...

RAKLAW, thanks, it's non-metallic.

You might want to secure (as I did for the 040 Black) a Califirnia Duster.. comes in mighty handy on helping cut down on the time spent keeping the Black clean

welcome.

I for one think that the c63 is trully awesome. had mine for 18 month and still love it.

I drove all winter here in montreal. I love it too much not to drive during winter time.

I sometimes drive with the back seat folded down so that I can hear better the exhaust soundstrack.
