Hi everyone. I've been looking for a C63 for a few months. I'm down to 3 different cars (2017 and 2-2018) but it's coming down to whether I want the sport seats and the front carbon ceramic brakes or the same car without. It will be a daily driver and I'm in my 60s with a bad back if that helps. I'd appreciate input from the group. Thanks all, Sal- Knoxville, TN

Glad to see a new member at 60+. Sometimes we see things a bit different than the younger generations.
There will be plenty of tips, suggestions, opinion, and solutions available here.
There are separate threads for the various models and one specific to AMG.
The SEARCH function works quite well.

Thanks Odd Piggy. I've been trying to read and absorb as much as possible every day but like every forum the search function sucks if you input more than one word.

I'll most likely go twice a year as I did with my Z06 just wondered if there was any down side. All of the cars have less than 10k miles and under warranty.
Thank you for your feedback.

Welcome! Please post a photo of the C63 when it comes home with you.

If it were me, I would avoid the carbon brakes due to replacement cost. I do not (would not) track a car, so it may not be how you make the choice. I am casually in the market for a 63 of some type and am excluding CCB from my criteria.

That one with CCB is just loaded with options and has around 5k miles. It will be gone before it hits 20k most likely. Thanks for your input and thanks for the welcome.
