Update on C63 SE ownership experience
I’m at 2,600 miles now on my 2024 F1 Edition and wanted to pass along details of my experience so far. First I love the car more than ever. My premise is that for a daily driver it is an awesome car and that’s what I use it for. If you want to roll calm in comfort mode you can or if you want to put it through it’s paces in race mode you can. It’s a highly adjustable car and now that I know how it all works it’s great to be able to customize the experience. I have no issues around engine lag or etc. When you set the car up and drive it accordingly the power is always there. Handling and braking are great and adjusting to comfort on the suspension makes bumpy roads quite tolerable. Most of you know this but it’s essential to wait until the engine and transmission fluid get to operating temps before driving aggressively. I can feel the difference in shifting particularly but once it is warm it’s much smoother. My wife and I have taken friends out for dinner and the backseat has been more than adequate. It’s great to have the high performance mixed with the utility of a 4 door. We have some wide open spaces here in Texas but I’m careful to watch higher speeds. That said the couple of times another car has engaged it’s been a fun experience given the cars acceleration and passing speeds. Hope this is helpful, glad to answer any questions on things I didn’t cover.

I picked mine up last Saturday and really love the car so far.
