Hello all!

i have a 2020 c63S coupe and it has been an absolute dream to own. i still am in love with the car and enjoy driving it every single day. unfortunately it seems like i will have to get rid of it sooner than anticipated due to work and some personal obligations (my job requires me to drive people around sometimes to show properties and it is just getting extremely unpractical having this car as a daily)

I'm so emotionally attached to this car, however i know there are some other members who are in an m5 as well or an e63..

I've been looking at the e63 however in my honest opinion i feel they ruined the look of the facelift. Next contender for me would be the m5 Competition. i feel it looks much better than the e63 and i am an AMG fanboy lol.

any advice on which route to go? very unsure if i want to get rid of my car however im not sure how long i can keep a coupe as a daily driver.

 

So why not got with a C63s Sedan then ?? or a non s, just get a sedan vs coupe ..

 

Lease a larger 4 door sedan to drive customers around - if used for business, can deduct it from taxes too. Leases on base package sedans are cheap and less than the extra money you pay for E63 or M5 Competition. Keep the C63 coupe your fun car.

 

Don't get rid of the car man you'll miss it big time and regret it ☝

 

not a fan of the sedan personally. That’s why I initially went with the coupec

 

that’s what i was thinking too however I don’t know if I want two payments for just me, and then I have the wife’s car as well. Would probably make the most sense right now to have one car each

 

Get a GLC 63S. You will have way more room and be faster than what you have now.

That being said...if you can workout the M5 Comp, it is one of the hottest cars on the road.

 

What about the GT63? That's probably what I'd go for if I needed/wanted four doors. Sedans just don't do it for me. The AMG sedans lack the muscular appearance they should have and now that you can't get the performance seats anymore with the E63 FL, they are even less appealing. Sounds like you are looking to buy new, so the C63 sedan is out of the question anyway as it can't be ordered anymore. I honestly feel the C63S coupe is the sweet spot of the AMG range. It still has RWD as it should be and an amazing stance especially with the AMG Aerodynamics package and it's more practical and everyday usable than the GT coupe. It just checks so many boxes as an everyday fun car. Much more than the other AMGs, IMO, and don't get me started on the SUVs. Why would one want a jacked up station wagon if they are not off-roading it?

I've been contemplating what I might replace mine with when the time comes, hopefully not for another few years in light of what AMG has in store. BMW, IMO has ruined their M cars by putting in the ZF8 torque converter transmission. It completely numbs the drivetrain. An odd choice for a brand that's supposed to make the ultimate driving machines and provide a connected driver feel in their cars. The transmission is laggy in the M5 and M8 as many have reported to the point that BMW M decided to rewrite the software for the G80 M3/4. It's still numb, but the lag is supposedly gone. Despite the new grill on the G80, the M4 with manual transmission would probably end up being my choice if I had to make a switch now. M3 if I needed four doors. AMG, IMO is doing it right by putting torque converters into their 43 and 53 models and the MCT with the startup clutch in the 63 models. Yes, it's not the smoothest thing at slow speeds, but I didn't buy an AMG to drive it in stop&go traffic. I want it to feel alive.

 

You lost me here and sounds contradictory...the GT63 is a AMG Sedan...

 

Mercedes calls it 4 door coupe. Car is even in Coupe section :p

 

No, it's not. One can disagree on the category, but the GT63 is a 4-door coupe or as Audi calls it a Sportback and BMW calls them Gran coupes. As stated above, it's even listed under the coupe section on mbusa.com. It has coupe lines with 4-doors, low slung and a wider track than a sedan and a more muscular appearance.

 

No need to argue guys.

I can’t afford the GT63 anyways 😂

 

call it what you want - slung roof line or not it’s a 4 door and to me that is a sedan after all. 4 door coupe is just one of those made up marketing pitches to sell a 4 door sedan to you.

 

Funny enough, but the number of doors is not what defines a sedan. A sedan by definition has a closed body with engine, passengers and cargo in separate compartments. A traditional coupe is actually technically a 2-door sedan. BTW, historically sedan comes from the sedan chair, a one-person enclosed box with windows and carried by porters. Ultimately its about body style in modern cars, and the sedan body style is different from the 4-door coupe style. Marketing pitch or not. The big differentiating factor is that the GT63 has a hatch instead of a sedan trunk.

 

well, you can find all kinds of historical definitions and new, made up definitions to sell more cars. Here is a random historical for coupe: ”a four-wheeled enclosed carriage for two passengers and a driver”. So 3 people cars with four wheels and enclosed are only coupes and all other are sedans. 😂 just messing with you or may be not 🤪

 

Yes, I just threw that in for fun. I think we can all agree that design is a big part of cars and design sells. What you call them I suppose is secondary. It's about the boxy, narrow and conservative style of sedans that doesn't appeal to me, not the number of doors, although I very much dislike the B-pillar in my peripheral vision and the blind spot it creates, but that's just something I particularly dislike about any 4-door cars. Aside from that there is the fact that the GT63 has a stiffer body and wider track for better handling and can still be had with the performance seats, but to each their own.

 

well, I guess we went off topic. OP thinks about getting a 4 door but GT63 is out of the picture. I personally don’t even like the GT63 too much, I am more into smaller, nimble cars and that GT63 is like a big whale to me.

to the OP - still think a cheap lease to have.4 door for business is better and cheaper than buying a larger, 4 door AMG.

 

i think the reality is, I can probably get an m5 competition fully loaded for the same price I pay for my c63s coupe. Getting two cars for me right now is out of the question, my wife may divorce me 🤪🤪 so that is where my dilemma lies

 

I'm with you on that. This was rather hypothetical. These are all near 4500 lbs barges, but what the GT63 has going for it is the rear wheel steering which makes it shrink around you and it drives like a much smaller car. On the other hand, sedans in the C63 segment aren't exactly roomy for 4 adults. I end up having to move my seat forward if somebody sits behind me, so it kinda ends up being pointless. One naturally ends up in the E63 segment or larger if they really wanna drive around 3+ adult passengers on a regular basis.
