2012 Mercedes AMG C63 Coupe
First MB in Houston, TX. Long time BMW Customer.
So I've finally made the switch to a 2012 AMG C63 and let me tell you that this has been the best decision (automobile wise) that I have EVER made!!! It taps in to my inner child in ways that no other car I've ever owned can, while at the same time, letting me forget that I'm in a monster of a car while I'm in business mode or with clients. I was in love with this car before I made the decision to purchase, but the best part is every day I keep finding more and more to love about it!
Anyways, enough with the melodrama... But seriously, having test driven most of the competitors, and some quite extensively in overnighters, I would say that the ONE thing that they could've done to make the W204 a truly flawless car, is if they would've taken the DCT transmission from the RS5 and dropped it in this car. Not the AWD, but purely just the way the DCT reacts to gear shifts in Dynamic mode. But that's all, because I'll take this monster of a car any day over the RS5. The Wet clutch automatic is no slouch at all. I just wish they would have made it so that in S+ or Manual mode, that the gear shifts occurred exactly the moment that I push the paddle shift button.
Anyways, I look forward to learning more about this and other beautiful machines on this forum!

Welcome to MBWorld. Gorgeous ride! Yeah, you can't do much better from a pure driving experience than the C63! She's tame when she needs to be but a beast when you want to get a bit maniacal.

Thanks Guys!
Michael, I need to talk to you soon about upgrading my interior ambient lighting. I would like a more clean white or even blueish led set up for the inside. Specifically the front and rear dome lights but preferably all.
Any ideas?
