Lexus IS300 AWD
Those of you in Canada with C63s?
Hey there!
Currently driving a Lexus IS300 AWD but I am going to be in the market for a new car in the next few months. Ive always had a soft spot for the C63s. The sound of the v8 along with the power.
It just makes it such an amazing machine. However the only issue is it is RWD. I do live in Canada so I do face some harsh winters. Those of you who own a C63s in Canada, do you daily drive the car
or do you keep it as a weekend car. I was thinking it would be an option to keep this car as a weekend/summer car if I do go that route and possibly get a cheap winter car.
I am currently set on a few options for my next car. Some of the main boxes it had to check off was it has to have a V8, AWD and Roomy and comfortable.
So some of the cars I will be looking at are:
- C63s AMG
- BMW M3 F90
- JEEP SRT
- JEEP Trackhawk
- Audi RS5 Sportback (V6TT)
Any opinions and advice would be appreciated.

GLC 63S Coupe
Winters in Ontario
Love the C63S, but with no 4Matic option, I brought a GLC63S coupe instead, same 4 litre V8, hp and torque. RWD with couple inches of snow down soon gets painful in morning commute even with winters on.
Recently GLC went in for first service and my loaner was a C63S, I had a blast and was spinning up the rears and loving the exhaust, but after a while I realized I was driving the C63S same way I am used to driving the GLC. 4Matic plus makes a massive difference and with my winters on the GLC just hooks up and goes.
My only real complaint about C63S is the exhaust is louder than my GLC
.
I am sure some folks have fun all winter in a C63S, but just not for me.
Regardless, good luck with your purchase.

I thought that 4matic was available across the board on all C63 AMGs but maybe not. The best way to know is to check the MB Canada web site. I'm sure that site will have that information for you and can also tell you where your nearest MB dealer is who can also help you. I think you would be best keeping your AMG as a weekend/summer car and drive a beater in the winter. I actually have 2 cars so I can keep the miles off of my MB so that I can keep it in concours condition and show it. It's a W201 which is the great grandparent to the W205. God luck with your purchase and please post pictures of your new MB.
