I've never had a 2011 or later but I think they are the same. What's different is the coupe seats. 2012 sedan seats are awesome to me, I would think same for later models.

LOL don't be dissuaded by those seats. If you do a search on here you'll find a thread by ME that *****ed about those seats on my first test drive of a C63. This was back in 2008 on this board. Well I warmed up to them and grew to really love the seats. I had a 2009 C63 for three years. You just need to spend some time tweaking the position and settings.

Thanks for responds guys, will go drive it again =]

I've railed a few right hand corners faster then I should have with my knee up and the Gs push my knee into the seat controls so my chair starts moving forward going hard into a corner, *** that trips me out every time.

My back was killing me just after an hour in my RX-8, but I took my C63 for an 7 hour trip and I had no problem what so ever. Now that's one great seat.

Sheep

I'm a big guy - 6ft 275lbs and I like the seats once I got the bolsters/lumbar adjusted "just right". After about 2 hrs my right leg starts to cramp on long trips (I do Ottawa/Mtl every week - ~2.5 hrs). It's a little annoying, but I just keep going and once I get there I just give my leg a little stretch and I'm fine. If I was on a longer trip, I'd prolly just stop for coffee. Hell, after about 3 hours you gotta stop for gas anyways

I just notice on the pictures, 2012s looks like it has less bolsters on the sbulder/upper arm area.

Sat in the coupe yesterday and the seats were differen, much better than the sedan, the sedan still had the CLK black series type of seats. The coupe looked better too.

I beg to differ!

Now that the winters are on, it is mostly in C mode. It is my DD so there is no point melting my Blizzaks. We have no snow either which is a bummer, these tires will have to be changed every winter, the rears, I suspect. Funnily enough, the mileage isn't any better, maybe 20kms more per tank than Bandit mode!

I'm using C mode for winter so far and it works pretty good. Nice thing is it starts in 2nd gear and makes slippery starts way easier with less wheel spin.

On an eight mile loop around my office (with about a dozen traffic lights), under similar traffic conditions, S mode gets me about 12.5 mpg while C gave me 14. At least in this environment, starting off in 2nd makes a big difference....seems like a lot of it has to do with the way it influences my throttle inputs.

That's exactly what I was saying.

And it's easy to DD a C63. You get it, sit in the seat, turn on the car, and drive.

I love it, I open her up when I get a free stretch of road on the way home from work. 20 miles round trip per day.

i drive mine like i stole it

+1 ... My last set of rubbers lasted 8000km..

I'm closer to Clarkson than Hammond but the seats are still wonderful. My first drive in it was over 500 miles pretty much non-stop. This is my daily driver but I am retired so I don't have to put up with traffic (i.e. it's driven fast and in manual mode most of the time). It's just an all around great daily driver. Best MBZ product I've owned and I plan to keep it for a long time. It's on it third set of rear tires and second set of front tires at 16K and I just changed front pads and rotors.

Duane, living the life...!

I ONLY WISH that I could drive it more aggressively around where I currently live....It makes me SICK...cops are hiding out in the bushes and soccer moms and dads on their way home from work are getting busted for 5 over....pathetic...

I drive it about 4-5 days out of the week. Stout machine. Solid and good.

Can someon say if there is a differnece in the adjustability of the MB-Tex seat compared to the Upgraded seats in the Sedan? I mean I know about the adjutments on the side of the door for the Leather, and the adjustments on the lower side of the seat beneath the thigh. I'm askiing if there are more adjustable parts, like BMW has 12 way and 18 way seats?

Also, do the MB tex also have lumber adjustability?

People complain about the seats? Might be my 2nd favorite part of the car after the engine.

Don't know if you know or not but you can play around with the seats to open them up or close them up a little bit more. There are 3 buttons on the right of you on the side of the chair if you're sitting in the driver's seat. Re: Looks. Nah man, the C looks way better

I have an 09, and everyone who has sat in the front LOVED how the seats wrap around you. Girls also love how the seat "hugs" them hah. I do agree about the back seats being really uncomfortable, especially if it's a tall person sitting there.

I drive my car like i stole it! Thats what it's made for right?

Seats are the best.... I love my c

necro thread

the seats are awesome!

and really, the C63 is a beautiful DD car. after owning it, most cars on the road now are a complete bore

I drive mine daily. 20 miles one way - at least 4 times a day.

Sliding into those seats is an experience in itself. Every time.
When I leave for work at 5:30 AM it inspires more confidence and feels like I am in a seat tailored for my body.

At evening, leaving work, sliding into those seats, just signifies the end of the work day and beginning of the real fun time.

I am sure someone who is a bit on the plump side, won't be comfortable at all.
