A Mercedes obviously!
Is it worth what?

On a straight is it worth it scale, it depends how you value the benefits of the S65 vs. C63 and the cost associated with it. If everyone thought it was worth it then the world would be driving S65s.

Im a bigger guy and the c63 is small for me. I drove a 750Li and i loved it so I believe the s65 will be right down my alley.

I think the performance gap will be very marginal when it comes to 0-80 runs, however anything over 80 on on the freeway the 65 will pull away. All depends on where you prefer to have high performance.

I have an S65. It feels much stronger than the C63 I drove.
