For those that traded up to the 2012
Are you happy with the decision? Do you miss your pre 2012? Miss the pop up nav? Anything else?

I can't think of anything I miss about my 2010. I think the interior, suspension, steering wheel, gauges, nav and tranny are all better in the 2012+ C63. My biggest complaints were the interior and transmission so it was a no brainer for me to make the switch. I also prefer the exterior updates.

Agreed. Can't think of anything I preferred in my 2009.

the pre 2012 just feels outdated now, you'll feel it after a few days of owning the car

Love my 2010. Love the double side gills, the james bond flip up nav, love the front end (more aggressive), love the horizontal lights, love the rear bumber (less bumps, folds, lips,), do not like the single bar grill, love that I don't limp up on track passes, love the more hugging seats...I guess I'm just a sucker for the original...

I drove the 2012, wasn't an earth shattering of a difference for me...

Same here. I was contemplating the so-called "upgrade". I drove a couple new(facelift) C63's and came away with the same impression. Granted, 2 were new with almost no miles, so they were not broken-in. I just still feel somehow that my 2010 is more of what I want out of the C63. I have had an '08 and now my '10 and feel both those cars are more "ballsy" that the update. I am happy to be in my '10 and like the looks and feel of my current 63. I hope you guys enjoy and are happy with your 12+, but my car stays!!

Wouldn't mind some of the updated tech in the newer models but I'm plenty happy with my 09 in nearly every other way.

Even though I don't have a C63, the only thing I miss in my CL is the 2012 Comand, all the rest is not worth it for me.
