Really good read. His problems are mostly because since he didn't actually buy the car he wasn't afforded the "Introduction and Training" before you roll your car out the door. Comfort mode on an AMG seems pointless and should be an option not a starting mode, IMHO.
The eco-start is pointless too. I own a W205 C400 and I'm not a huge fan. It's jerky when it restarts and I can only imagine how loud it is every time the C63s restarts.
The seats complaint is valid. Most customers are mid-late 40's and have families and haul groceries and use this car for everyday use.
Infotainment takes so getting used to and the controls are redundant.
The sound system is better than he thought although certainly not at the level of the E-Class or S Class. Not to mention the Audi's Bang & Olufsen system in their A8.
I think I would have complained more about the USELESS MB Apps and slow and sh*t 3G internet speed.

"The issue with me is that all the cold, calculated statistics that serve an entire population of Internet bench racers means jack **** to me and at the risk of sounding condescending to the stat queens out there - I’m not sure it really means that much to anyone else, because the experience a car can deliver is the only thing that truly matters over time"
IMHO he's absolutely blunt but dead set honest and on point with the criticisms he mentioned of the car, even comparisons with the previous 204 series being more "solid" and the new Burmester is IMHO no where near as good as the previous Harmon Kardon.
All said and done though no car is perfect anyway, the end result of this review is he actually loves and praises the car for all of the many things it does right and/or better than other cars, I'd still own one (waiting for the Coupe) regardless of the negatives
