S63 COUPE M157
Please, help to decide! (S500 Coupe, CLS63S, W222)
Hi guys,
I am having a difficult time deciding for which car to go. I am deciding between:
- S500 Coupe with AMG Paket (2015-2016, up to 30k miles)
- S500 W222 sedan with AMG Paket (2015-2016, up to 30k miles)
- CLS63S AMG (2016, up to 20k miles)
- S63 AMG Coupe (2014-2015, up to 65k miles)
I obviously understand that some of these cars are meant for comfort, while some for speed and driving. I know.
Just, please, imagine that I do not mind more comfort/less driving pleasure, but at the same time I am also fine with more driving pleasure/less comfort.
Just out of curiosity, which one would you pick and why? Each of us is different and have different preferences and that's what I need to hear - which one would you go for. BTW, I am coming from the W216 CL63 AMG (6.2N/A), loved the car and hated the RWD especially in winter.
Thanks guys!

2016 E400 Coupe (C207)
I do not own an AMG-built model, but I drove a dealership loaner for about a month while they were doing some work on my car (my car is a non-AMG model with an AMG Sport Package). I have always appreciated sport-oriented car design, but I found the AMG model so unpleasant as a daily driver that I could not wait to return it to the dealer. The power was ferocious, but the engine and exhaust were so loud and the suspension so stiff and harsh that the driving experience bordered on punishing. Unless you are buying the car for the track, you may find an AMG-built model to be unsuitable for daily life. To me, the AMG-built car felt very much like a "LOOK AT ME!" toy, which seemed designed for people who crave attention; your mileage may vary.

2012 CLS63
I've owned a 2014 S class, bought new, also a 2012 CLS63, bought it new too.........after the warranty expired on the S I sold it, chose to keep the, out of warranty, CLS because it's just such a rad car to drive! Yes the S was much more of a comfort, posh car.....but doesn't compare to how I feel inside the AMG. I disagree about the 'looks at me' sentiment.........then again, I do have green wheels

S63 COUPE M157
At the end I am choosing between the S63 Coupe or CLS63S.
Obviously, both are in different leagues, but what I like about the CLS is the price - it is significantly lower.
Depending on which car (that suits me - color, equipment, etc.) I find first, that one I will buy.
Unfortunately, as of today, used car market in Germany is not very rich in terms of choice.
Will have to wait a bit.
