I switched my car
Hi Everyone!
In the past few months, I have gone through three MB. I originally purchased a 2013 C250. It was nice and compact. It fit my driving style since I had always owned smaller vehicles. After a few days (2-3), the power was not what I was looking for. Coming from an STi in the past, the C250 just didn't cut it for me. So I immediately went to the dealership and was able to trade it back and got myself into an E350.
The E350 was very nice and comfortable to drive. The power was moderate for my taste and I was happy for a little while. However, the bigger cabin, though great for comfort for my wife and daughter to ride along, just didn't cut it for me. I didn't like the body roll as much and just became to comfortable and boring of a ride for me. Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful ride but it was not the only thing I wanted.
10 months later (present day), I said "Hmmmm, I guess I should just check out the C63. It fits my driving style and has the body of the C250, which I like." I went to the dealership and checked out some options and got myself into one. I had test driven one a few times in the past during my E350 purchase and was in love with it but was indecisive at the time. Now that I have it, I couldn't be happier. I haven't been this happy about a vehicle purchase since my 2005 Sti.
The car gives sort of a statement of success while providing an aggressive performance beneath the hood. It's the best of both worlds for me.
Thumbs up for AMG

My wife has a C250 now and I took her car for a test drive 
when I bought the C63 home and then hoped right into the C63 afterwards to check the differences (handling/power) and it's just...well, so much better and manageable in the sense that you feel the road more.

C63, C55 (Sold)
Congrats! I also had a 2003 WRX, and after that one a 2005 STi. Switched to AMG buying a C55, but I missed the steering sensation of the subbies. The C63 is more agile, and with the V8 rumble coming from the rear, it was the right choice for me...
