'12 C63 vs 09-11 C63
 

I've been lurking around the forum for the past year or so and am ready to pull the trigger on a purchase in the next few months. I know there have been a few threads out there on the topic but thought I would get another one posted.

I drove the 2012 C63 sedan last weekend and have an appointment to drive a 2010 this weekend down in Sac, but was wondering beyond the obvious price and cosmetic changes to the exterior / interior if there were any big differences that owners have noticed. I do prefer the sedan over the coupe just for personal / practical reasons, but will also be driving the coupe this weekend to see what its like.

I am leaning towards the 2012 but any insight would be greatly appreciated!!!

The MCT tranny is the only big difference to me.

Suspension changes too. I have heard bushings, camber and more but can't say for sure but all reports are that handling is improved as a result.

Thanks for the insight and replies! With the MCT are the gear changes noticeably quicker in all settings or mainly Sport + and Manual? Good to know about the handling as well as this will definitely help when I am checking out the 2010 this weekend.

Handling, unlikely, car still wants to over steer and wrap you around a poll everywhere you go. I quite enjoy it though.

:rolf: The car does like to come around doesn't it.

Most reviews have commented that the handling of the 2012s has been improved. I can't confirm from personal experience (as I have had limited time in a pre 2012) but it seems to be a consistent comment from what I have read/watched.

Sure does, even the BS is all over the place.

Add another 100rwhp and 400TW tires. You better be paying attention if that ESP is off haha. :zoom:

Even in sport mode there is a LOT of rear movement. I'll explore it some more this summer at the track :naughty:
