The coupe and the sedan don't really feel all that different at the limit. Back to back, you'll notice a difference, but they do feel very similar. Most noticeable difference was rear stability under heavy braking when weight is shifted forward. But it wasn't all that big of a difference.
And I'm talking from real-world experience here, not just repeating what I've read elsewhere else. Coupe all day every day. I almost bought a sedan when it first came out, but I'm glad I waited. It looks too pedestrian compared to the widebody Coupe. |

I feel like everyone here is trying to defend their purchase/choice lol You bought the sedan because you think it’s better, and I bought the coupe because I think it’s better. Everyone doesn’t have to like the same things lol

Yes, Everyone must agree that the sedan is best. This thread cannot end until all coupe-owners admit they bought the wrong car!! =D

In the end though, I think we all made the right choice since we bought a C63. No question that the coupe handles the best of all the variants. If they make a C63R coupe, I'll be first in line :) |

We all aren’t the same and as such have different opinions. But there is still a majority.. rarely is there ever a perfect 50/50 split or all agree.. that said reviews of the fleet point to the coupe as the better looking more muscular of the group. Nothing wrong with disagreeing with that. There isn’t a problem if you aren’t in the majority. I don’t see why there is arguing over opinion.. you can’t on something like which design you prefer.. but the results of the opinions cannot be argued and that favors the coupe and that fuels more of a defensive attitude from owners and people who have them on order and some lash out based on the results of most not agreeing with their own opinion by making fun of the majority’s opinion.. They feel backed into a corner as is overwhelmingly displayed in this thread. |

If you are, I genuinely wasn't making fun of other's opinions. Even when the coupe first came out, I detested the rear bumperettes. Hate them on all US-spec cars. They're horrible on the GT and new CLS too. They are also atrocious on the Chiron and that new Aston. Can't understand why manufacturers can't make a US-specific custom bumper. Also stand with the Accord opinion (which was brought up by someone else). That's not really a slight on the C coupe though, they really do share similar lines and it's more that the Accord coupe is actually pretty good looking. C is obviously much better though. Again, in the end I think all the C63 variants are excellent and I'd pick up a R if they make it. |

The Coupe has the same rear end as the E63S. Very different setup to what's in the sedan. Wider tires, fender flares, better traction during acceleration and cornering despite weighing 100lbs more than the sedan (and that weight is all due to the bracing and stiffening components under the Coupe - which was actually developed for the Convertible, but it was cheaper to produce both Coupe and Convertible with the same chassis bracing).

Sedan has always out sold the coupe. What's that tell you? To me there is just something off about the back half of the coupe.

At least we can all agree that Designo Silver Magno is by far the fastest color.

And the Toyota Corolla outsells the C63S sedan. Your point?

If the Coupe is so much better then it would out sell the sedan. Toyota analogy isn't even relevant to this discussion. This discussion is about C63 coupe/sedan.

It's completely relevant. People buy what it useful to them, not what is better on a track.
The C63S Sedan also came out two years before the Coupe, so the Sedan actually has more years in production than the Coupe. |

Hi everyone,
I have been an avid C63 owner since 2012. I purchased a 2012 C63 Sedan, and ended up selling it about a year and a half ago. I have been driving family cars to pass the time, and now I am ready to purchase a 2019 C63. I am highly debating on purchasing a coupe. It just looks amazing. I have a few questions regarding the pros and cons of owning a C63 Coupe? For the coupe, is it difficult to throw things in the back seat, is it difficult loading passengers, and how are the blind spots, & etc. Those of you who have sedans, would you want a coupe & vice versa? Keep in mind that the pricing on the C63 Sedan is about $5000-$10,000 cheaper than the coupe. I just would love for there to be a compelling argument on why I should get the coupe over the sedan. Thank you all, would love to see the responses! |

LOL ^^^^
Personally I would have written 10 million times better looking :) |
referring to past model coupes ....;)

Looking forward to also having a C205 sitting next to the 204 in the garage soon :D |

In short: I would have love to have the Coupe. I think the rear flared fenders on the C63S Coupe are just pure sex. It also came down to price and practicality for me though, so in the end sedan was the way to go for me. I ended up getting 30,000 Euro discount on a brand new sedan vs maybe half that (on the coupe). You do the math. |

I'd attribute it more to the practicality of having four doors, and more importantly PRICE. The Coupe would have been more expensive for me, as they were giving massive discounts on the Sedan when I bought mine last year.
