Bought her a 2011 BMW X5 with sports activity package, charcoal. I really love the car, very smooth and comfortable. All the family road trips are with her car not mine!

My wife and I do not find the C63 comfortable on road trips. She finds the seat bottoms too firm and my lats are getting a little wide for the upper bolsters.

The C63 is not that comfortable but then again, it's great for long trips that need good back support. The x5 is the opposite. I like both cars, would not trade any of the 2 they are a perfect combination. All I need is a BAC Mono race car and I'm all set!

My wife with kids drive around in the MB tank....2011 GL350 BT with the blingy AMG package which includes the very fat 21" wheels...we still get about 1000km per tank, very impressive.

My ex wife still has the black 1997 M-3 I bought her, I had a matching one in yellow. Her license plate said "Killah" and my said "Bees". It was fun to park them next to each other.

We are looking at getting her a new car and looking at the X5 and the Porsche Cayenne S.

Your opinion and what you purchased for her is valued, we coming out a mercedes ML and weren't too happy!

thanks!
Don't buy the Cayenne, it's way overprice for what you get and you also get to have the "Porsche Experience" cha-ching everytime you take it in for service. The new X3 has the same room as the orginal X5 and the twin turbo 3.5L motor is a blast. For fun you might also look at the Audi. The Infinity FX50 is a blast to drive also. My overly pratical asian wife went with the safe and boring Lexus RX350. It's really boring to drive Although my buddy may be selling his SLK55 which she'd love as second car.

2012 BMW X3 28i. Traded her 2009 335i for it... tough trade, but the X3 is quick enough with the 8 spd auto and the 335i was overkill for her.

(a)'12 C63 P/P, LSD, 19" m/spoke,comfort pack. (b)Astra SRI.
Thumbs up

Wifey drives the C63 as much as I do...she LOVES it.....so we share it.....but it's not our "everydayer'....which is an Astra SRI.
Sinse owning the C63, she's become very enthusiastic, of course about AMG, but also about M.B.
So, she's waiting for the "New" A Series to be released.....and then we'll see what happens?
Cheers, Pickles.

Just curious, how much does a C63 cost in Australia?

2nd tour of duty with an R Class, brought back the 09 and got a 2012 Bluetec. The refresh gives it a much classier, cohesive look and love the panoroof, Harmon Kardon and great mileage. Best family transport vehicle. Ever!
