how do you drive your c63 daily ?
I went to test drive a m3 and a c63 yesterday, while m3 seemed much more of a drivers car, much better looking and more comfortable, but the torque of C was something I couldn't get my mind off, really addicting, but the question is how the F do you drive daily with front seats like that ? It's really stopping me from getting the C, I'm not a fat guy at all but I feel like it's too much, no way to get regular seats on it ?

I think the seats are awesome. The situation dictates how I drive plus hearing the car angry all day long is music to my ears.

I drive mine every day, it is my daily driver, I have no other car (other then my wife's new Jeep Grand Cherokee but she drives that).
Other then the ride being really rough due to DC road conditions, the car handles fine, is perfectly comfy for me (6'1 ish 180 pounds). My wife hates the seats, and is a no go on long distances for her.. but she is tall and built like a runner, the side bolsters stab her in the ribs.
Oh, and how I drive it daily.. I drive it like I stole it..

Agreed, LOVE the seats.
Worst thing about daily driving is the ride...09 w/PP is pretty stiff. Not terrible, it's still not a "bad" ride but its stiffer than similar cars.
I drive mine like a grandma though, always telling myself "find a damn place to DRIVE this car" but never do...lame!

like some have already said, it takes time to get used to... i don't know what the 2012 seats feel like though... i had a 2009 and now a 2010 and the seats were the same... i love them...
at first, it may feel uncomfortable, but you will definitely get used it it... especially when cornering... the first time my mom sat in the seats, she absolutely hated it... but after about a month of driving it around herself... she changed her mind... she appreciated how it would hold her in her seat and not shift/slide around when making a turn... and this coming from someone who drives sloooooooow

I love the seats too, and I like the looks a bit better than the M3 and the interior is better IMO as well. That being said, the M3 is an equally good car, and if you find it a much better looking car, AND more comfortable to drive and sit in, get the M3. You have to really like it every day otherwise you may regret your decision.

I'm closer to Hammond than Clarkson in size so the seats are just about perfect for me.
They're one of the features of the C63 that I found superior to the M3. I really love the way they hug and envelop me.
And I also drive it daily like it was 1979 and gas costs less than a dollar a gallon.
