new owner 2016 e63s
 

Well I bought a new, 2016 e63s this weekend. I am not new to AMG. I have owned 2 CLA45s, a W205 C63s, a W204 C63 507 and now this E63S. have truly become an AMG lover the past couple of years.


This is definitely the biggest car I have ever owned and the furthest away from a sports car. I think I am still adjusting. I wanted one car that fulfilled all of my needs and this seemed to be it. I am down to one vehicle now, and I plan to drive this a few years until the warranty expires. I was a little nervous about buying the old platform, with the new one right around the corner, but i haven't had the best luck with buying all new platforms, so I went ahead with the tried and true, soon to be out of date, platform.


Anyway, it is a pretty amazing machine, but since I only had 8 miles I am observing the engine break in.


I got designo white exterior with black multispoke wheels, red brakes and the interior has Designo white seats with black dash and piano trim. I figured I might as well go a little flashy since its a more conservative looking car than what I am used to. the entire car is white, black and silver inside and out.


I don't mean to sound like I am unsure or have buyers remorse. I definitely like this car way above a BMW M5 or Audi anything. It is just different and I am adjusting to it still. All of my other cars have been smaller and sportier.


I have noticed that the really annoying kids that constantly want to race are not noticing me anymore. I guess that's a plus. I hated that.

Congrats. I am new to the brand as well and preferred the E to the M5.. The E is quite fast but sloppier than the baby bro C. It makes up in other ways though..

Stay safe out there!!

Congrats on the purchase!

It's probably quite the opposite about the "kids" not noticing the E. The kids notice, they just don't want their ass handed to the.

I usually intimidate kids with my exhaust note. :D

Indeed, the "kids" wanting to race are usually more informed than the general public about what type of car it is and what it is capable of.

Congrats...car sounds like it has a really nice color combo...post some pics if you can.

give her time, learn her limits, and yours. A truly amazing machine capable of being your family car and sports car.

Congrats! Enjoy her in good health.

Congrats. -- more pics !

They try to race me all the time! kind of annoying. lol Wife and daughter in the car and all. Do you think it has something to do with my license plate? 540 HP

;) Not sure, but I'm thinking it might.

I'm pretty sure its your license plate. Those poor kids want to see a 540hp car in action ;)

Gorgeous ride!

Agreed...beautiful!

Really nice car! Congrats

Nice car!

When I first got the e, it felt a little awkward to me as well. I was so used to smaller performance cars like yourself. But the power is addicting. Also you can't compare the comfort of the e vs the c. Even in the w205 platform, the c does not feel as refine as my e.

Looks great! I hope you enjoy it.

Congrats on the new ride - it is stunning :).

Very nice. Congrats and enjoy!

One thing I would do that you may have already planned, is to get a 30% tint on all windows. Do that and you move from very nice to bad*ss!!

Cheers.

Good stuff! White leather is 👌

Thanks guys. I'm loving the car. I think I'm over smaller cars now. The combination of comfort, safety and performance is pretty ideal. Another advantage of a bigger, more mature car is better forum mates!

What did you think of the cla45? If the a45 were available here, I'd scoop one up. Wouldnt mind having an overpowered 4cyl amg 👌

Love it

The porcelain interior is a bit high maintenance if you wear jeans a lot

I've owned 2 cla45s a 2014 and a 2016. The 2016+ in my mind is one of the best performance bargains out there. It does 0-60 in 4 seconds. Has 4 doors and a Mercedes badge. The car as a reputation of being built cheaply and having a cheap interior. Not true. Build quality is outstanding and the interior is not cheap. It is sporty in an old RS Porsche kind of way. The 2016 got significant improvements in engine and transmission. The car is really good. I also owned a W205 c63s for a while. The US cars are built in Alabama. Build quality was less than great. Performance was other worldly though. Perhaps the build quality has improved in the new Cs in the US. I think if you want to spend 60k on a small fast car the CLA45 is so good that I preferred driving it over the w204 c63 507 I had.

Yes, I have a bit of a problem. I told you I was an AMG lover.

Awesome! Very nicely done. Thanks for the cla45 thoughts...sounds like a good time
