Must Have Options for 2015/2016 C63S

Hi All,

I've been researching C63S' as a possible daily driver for me. Specifically, I am looking at used ones from 2015/2016. Are there any options that are a must have in your opinion for future resale, or for pure enjoyment from your perspective? For me, noise is such a huge part of the car, so I'm keen on getting a car that as the AMG performance exhaust. But other than that, and maybe the Driver Assistance Package, and perhaps the park assit, anything else that is a must have in your opinion? Thanks in advance!

For me, it's the AMG performance exhaust and the performance seats. My car also has the park assist, but I've only used it once just to try it out since I bought the car. The drive assist could be cool, but I don't have it so I can't really say whether it's a must have option.

Thanks, yeah I hadn't considered the seats. But I suppose they would make a big difference if I ever needed to drive long distance.

I bought used and test drove two different C63 coupes. One had the regular seats, and one had the performance seats. I found them both to be comfortable but preferred the look and feel of the sport seats with the upgraded Nappa leather. I have been on road trips where I've sat in the car for several hours straight and had no more discomfort from them than one would experience from any long trip where you are sitting in the same position for an extended period of time. For reference, I am 6'0" tall and weigh 193 lbs.

Heads up display, it's brilliant, especially for directions and speed limit assist, it's just there infront of you.

Premium plus pack, pan roof and the other bits give that level of luxury one would expect of this kind of car.

And night pack if that's your thing, otherwise you'll spend the first few months blacking out the chrome.

Im sure it has Android auto? Make sure! Top of my list now.

Good to know about the heads up display. Actually good call about android auto...I need to dig into when that was introduced into the C63.

Out of all the options mine got (pretty much all of them) here ones I couldn’t compromise on:
  1. Night packages
  2. Performance Exhaust
  3. Performance seats
  4. Heads up Display
  5. Distronic Plus (Adaptive Cruise Control)

For me the HUD was a must have. After having had a car with it, it's hard to imagine going back!
